We all feel that we understand the Holoquast. Jews were seperated from thier families and tortured in concentration camps. While we can all imagine this as being horrible, most don't see the story behind the eyes in the pictures of thin, ghostly looking faces of the victims, it seems as if skin was just draped over an empty skeleton. Which, by all means is understandible because it seems as if there is nothing to look at... at all. But I have to say, although this book has not much to do with the Holoquast, it brings a new meaning into the way I think about it. I feel able to comprehend it on a new level. With the personal story of Inge unwinding, the "What If" factor comes into play as you watch Inge's family struggle for survival in thier good health. With a completley rivoting, bittersweet twist in the middle and in the end, the book will have you leaning on your chair, gasping for air as if you feel that you may be next to Dachau. AS horrible as this story sounds, the true, honest friendship of Liselotte and Inge will always put a smile and tears on your face. Orgel also incorporates the culture of Austri and Vienna specifically into the story to create a more vivid, likely story and picture. If you're looking for a book that is a stretch from the average, I strongly suggest this story. The words have provided me with a new comprehension of Hitler and his victims. I truly enjoyed this book but it's bittersweet ending has me jerking back tears. Please read this book.

I would have to say that Doris Orgel's book Devil In Vienna is one of my most treasured books. The story is so magnificent that I couldn't put it down until I finished reading it. There is also a Disney movie called a Friendship in Vienna that is based on the book, I enjoyed the movie and would recommend it for viewing also. I felt that the connection between the two girls even in the darkest of time, is what friendship is really about and that's what everyone should look for in a true friend. I would like to recommend this book to any person of any age, for I didn't read it until my late teens and even at that age I felt that it was an excellent book.

At first this book is boring but then towards the end it gets pretty good. I liked it a lot. It tells the story of Inge and her life during the holocaust time. And how difficult it is to keep her friendship with her best friend Lisselote. Whose father is a Nazi. Close ones are leaving and going through hard times. THis is a wonderful and exciting story! It may seem boring at the beginning but believe me it gets better! I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading books about the holocaust, WW 2 or anything similar to that.
