The book reminds me of"The Diary of Anne Frank" since both portray young girls subjected to the inhuman events of the Nazi terror. Strange as it may seem, there are Neo-Nazis , Fascists, Skinheads , and others who have declared the Holocaust and the persecution of Jews did not exist. They deny the gas chambers, ovens, and concentration camps. To be frank , the denial of these horrors is easy to understand. Why? Because we must ask how it is possible for one man like Adolf Hitler to inspire thousands to be as cruel and inhuman toward their fellow man as the Nazis were toward the Jews. It's as hard to understand the burnings and cruel tortures used against political and religious prisoners throughout history . Even today the persecution by cruel dictators and totalitarian governments continues. It is good that books like "Shadows at Noon" are written to remind us once again what can happen when an entire country becomes fanatical. The dictionary describes a fanatic as " one who has extreme enthusiasm or zeal as in religion, politics, etc." But what fanaticism really means is that the person who becomes a fanatic looses all sense of values , logic, and clear thinking. He becomes insane and doesn't know what he is doing. Adolf Hitler was such a man. He found out it is easier to unite people in common hatred than in common love. Have we learned a lesson from the Holocaust, wars, torture, killings? Probably not. And we wonder when it will ever change . Margot Webb will perhaps write a sequel and give us her theory and advice for the future . I urge all of you to read "Shadows at Noon." But let me warn you that you may get mad while reading certain parts, you will experience the horrors of a time that should not be forgotten, but you'll be a better person for having read it.
