Torn Thread - It is a such a great book about the lives of Jew's in a German work camp. It is so sad but so inspiring and that is what got me to read more about Jew's lives during the Holocaust and World War 2. You should read Torn Thread. It's great. I loved it. =) They survived too. ^^
Also, another book called Surviving Hitler. Again, a great book that tells about a boy(he survived and is a man now. He is still living, I think.) and he writes a book telling people about his experience in a Concentration Camp.

Jimmy Buffett, A Salty Piece of Land..
"There's a strange sense of pleasure being beat to hell by a storm when you're on a ship that is not going to sink." Chapter 3, pg. 19
"You are one of the lucky ones who hold the melody in your heart. But be warned: it is a wandering song carried by the winds and the currents. It can turn you into a piece of driftwood that washes up on shore, but one day, when you find the place that is meant to be, you will take root." Chapter 2, pg.

I don't really know if I was ever inspired by a book, however, I was inspired by a few authors: JK Rowling, Anthony Horowitz, Erich Maria Remarque, and a lot more.

"Alicia: My Story" by Alicia Appleman Jurman. The true story of a Jewish girl's experiences in Poland during the Holocaust. Incredibly riveting. It made me think of how easy my life has been in comparison, and how lucky I am.
