Book ReviewGentlehands
The story Gentlehands takes place in the late 1970's. This story mostly revolves around one of the main characters named Buddy, who is a middle classed teenager that has is having a relationship with and upper class, older girl, named Skye. Buddy's chances of impressing Skye on his own are very slim to none so he decides to introduce her to his grandfather, Mr. Trenker. Buddy has not seen his grandfather since he was just a little child because of disputes between Buddy's parents and Mr.Trenker, so he was not quite sure what to expect from him. Buddy and Skye both come to realize the Mr. Trenker is very educated in many topics and also extremely well mannered. During this same time Mr. De Lucca, a reporter for many newspapers, is living with Skye at the time for unknown reasons. The only reason he is staying in that area is because he is trying to write a story about somebody who used to be a SS officer in WWII with the nickname Gentlehands. At the end of the story grandpa Trenker is the one that is believed to be Gentlehands. When Grandpa Trenker heard of these accusations he ran away to live with a friend of his.In the story Gentlehands there were a few major cha

I do not feel differently about the Holocaust, but I feel differently about the Nazis who were in it. The example of this in the story is that Buddy's little brother wasn't even sure what a Nazi was, but he thought that all Germans were Nazis. And close to the end of the book you find out that Gentlehands was Grandpa Trenker. There is one thing in the book I do not think was too realistic. Kerr was alive during World War Two maybe that is why she felt she should write a story in it. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy reading fiction books about the Holocaust. " I think that this is a good example because it shows how buddy had very few experiences in life by not knowing how to pour wine. However he was just acting like that just because he was trying to makeup for what he had done in the past. I would like to find out what happened to the actual Nazi survivors in the Holocaust not just the Holocaust survivors.
