I have enjoyed reading and writing since a very young age. I have also been encouraged to write at a very young age. Aside from school, I try to write and read when I have time. 
I usually read and write on the occasion of a snowy day, when school is closed. These days are the best, warmed by the fire and hot chocolate, easily forgetting the cold weather. On days like these, I receive the most brilliant ideas for books.

I am mostly interested in the time period of the Holocaust, in recent years. I have read many books, fiction and non-fiction, about this time period and the experience of the children of the Holocaust. 

I have decided to write my own book about a certain even of the Holocaust, one that I did not know of until I researched it. In Denmark, a country whose Jews were not as oppressed as others, there was a mass evacuation in 1943.  In October of 1943, the Danish resistance transported around 7,220 Jews to Sweden. My book starts in August of 1942, a little more than a year before this evacuation. My main character, Rochel Gitte Andelman, is a Jew in Denmark. Her friend, Henrik Østengaarde, is Christian and part of the Danish Resistance. His family will eventually help Rochel's in the evacuation of 1943.

This blog will post updates on this book, as well as book recommendations. Because of my studying, updates might be at least once a month, but I hope you will enjoy the posts nevertheless! 

Just sit back with your favorite book, and sip the warm hot chocolate on your bedside table, feeling cozy in this cold, wintery weather! Enjoy!
