It's hard for me to pinpoint just one novel, but I'm going to choose Those Who Save Us by Jenna Blum. Jenna Blum is of German and Jewish descent and spent four years interviewing Holocaust victims.
Here are links to my reviews on each novel:
Review -- Those Who Save Us
Review -- Skeletons at the Feast
Review -- The Book Thief
Review -- The Boy in the Striped Pajamas
We received the most votes for The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. Add it to your wish list if you haven't already!
I've read quite a few books related to the Holocaust. They're rather hard to find at my library.
ReplyDeleteThe ones I can recommend are:
Kanada - Eva Wiseman
The Cage - Ruth Minsky Sender
Yellow Star - Jennifer Rozines Roy
I really liked The Cage though. That one was the best of the three, I think.
Wow...I have NEVER heard of those! They went on my wish list though :)
ReplyDeleteThere are many wonderful books. If you want a real tearjerker you can read Sarah's Key. I haven't published a review yet, I'll see if I can next week.
