“But now the slow drip drip of despair, like acid on iron, had begun to eat away that hope”
Having belief is for children but at the age of 14 they are considered adults.
pickSad book about the Holocaust. This book is full of brutality and despair. Children had to grow up quickly to help provide for their families in fear of the Nazis. This book keeps you on your toes.
pickThis book was published in 2018. It is placed in 1942 in Poland which a Jewish family that was relocated during the Holocaust. I read the first chapter and thought it will be a good book. It was definitely sad though.
“Chaim took a deep breath and caught up with everyone already crowding into the small living room”
“After curfew,all jews-indeed everyone but the Nazi soldiers-had to be indoors,or they risked imprisonment”
pickI like this book. I think this book has a lot of meaning. The book is about these sisters that go into a concentration camp. I think this book is worth the read. It is very emotional.
Twins whose lives feel like a fairy tale torn apart, with evil witches, forbidden forests, and dangerous ovens looming on the horizon
pickThis is a really great speculative genre piece about a Jewish family forced into the ghetto to live while under the rule of the Nazis. The young boy, Chaim, is tied to his journal and expressing his feelings of fear and uncertainty.
pickI would not consider this a strict retelling of Hansel and Gretel and had someone told me beforehand this #YA Holocaust historical fiction was, I could not have imagined it. However, the concept worked fairly well. Chaim‘s remembrance poems played a special part in the story for me.

Hansel & Gretel retelling set in WWII, so twins and experimentations, and I can‘t even. I find these types of books very tough. Argh. #currentlyreading #preview #julyrelease2018🇦🇺 #war #retelling #holocaust
How excited am I for this book. I love Jane Yolanda. She wrote the heart breakers of my childhood. The Devils Arithmetic anyone? And now a new Holocaust story. I am prepared for this wonderful author to rip my heart out again.

Its 1942, and Chaim and Gittel, Polish twins, no longer have a choice but leaving for the nearby Lagiewniki Forest, where partisan fighters are trying to shepherd Jews to freedom in Russia.
Soon everything goes wrong. Their group is caught and killed. Chaim, Gittel are left alive, only to be sent off to Sobanek concentration camp. There is a doctor there looking to experiment on twins, and what he has in store is a horror they dare not imagine.
