THE SILVER SWORD


The book that I read this summer is ''The silver sword'' a really interesting book from Ian Serraillier, and is about a family called Backilis that they need to escape from Warsaw for being safed by the Nazis because they were Jews and the Nazis want to kill them.

One night, the Nazis catch the parents from Edek, Ruth and Bronia, and they were taken to Germany to a concentration camp. The children, when they were awake, they were thinking of where are their parents, and when they saw the Nazi sign, they knew that they were taken to Germany.

The Balickis children knew a boy called Jan, a ragged boy with a paperknife, that it was the silver sword and they recognize that it was from their lost father, so the children with Jan's help, they decided to go to Germany to find their parents. The journey from Poland to Germany was difficult, firstly by the Nazis, and secondly by the variable things that they could find in their travel, but the most difficult, was the River Danube, but Edek saw four canoes and they get into them for passing across the river.
