Outside Reading #27

I started reading this book called My Heart is a Violin and it is written by Shony Alex Braun. Now when just reading the title you would think I don't need to read a book about a violin but actually this is about Shony Alex Braun life which includes him living in concentration camps. For this blog I read About the Author and it says the Shony was rescued in a dark forest by gypsies at the age of four. He later debuted on Radio Bucharest as a child prodigy violinist. Later he was trasported to the concentration camp in Auschwitz and then Dachau later in life. The day before being rescued by the Allies he was shot in the chest and left for dead but in the end he survived. After this dark period in Shony's life he recovers and continiues his study of music and becomes a very gifted violinsits and a well known composer.
