    As terrible as this sounds, I've always considered the Holocaust as one of the most interesting subjects to read about. Historical fiction stories set from WWII are the absolute most interesting, heartbreaking, moving, and oftentimes beautiful things to read, just like this one.

    I really loved this.

    I loved this line: "He could have lost his father to the trenches, the trenches that ate men feet-first."

    The "ate men feet-first" part of this sentence is just horrifyingly striking. It makes me think of how the evil of the Nazis was so alive and so real and so horrible, and it was a very moving line.

    THIS IS GREAT.

    This was incredible. Your words hold so much emotion, so much power. This was beautiful and painful, but above all else it spoke the truth.

    You write in such an elegant way that it appears poetic. It seems effortless for you to produce such a momentous piece, what with there being no sign of a struggle for words like some writers may endure.

    It's evident that you have done your research on this topic and have used it wisely. You haven't overloaded this with facts and imformation that may or may not relate to the corpse, keeping the reader intrigued and saddend.

    "the trenches that ate men feet-first." Just one of the metaphors I loved in this story. I adore the reality it portrays.

    I am truly in awe of you and your writing, I can't even put into words how much I admire it all.

    You really should be proud of this. I'm rather fascinated by this part of history and I'm happy that you wrote a story about it!

    Not only did you write a story about history, you wrote about it extremely well. It was haunting and very beautiful. What an incredible read. Made my day.
