There are many works of both Fiction and Nonfiction books out there set during this crazy time in history. I've read many books or stories during this time and here is a list of my favorites.
Also, since there is no book section in the forums, I figured I would put this thread here.
1. "I Am David" by Anne Holm. There is another title to this book "North to Freedom". I read this book in fourth or fifth grade at St. Cathrines of Siena Catholic School. It's a good book and recommend it to elementary students and adults. It's about a Jewish/Arian boy who's mother is Jewish and father is a Nazi who runs a death camp and his father gets him out of the camp. The story is of this boys journey north through Europe during the war.
2. "Zvi" by Elwood McQuaid. I actually met the man who this book is about back in the 90's and is a fascinating book. This is another book that can be read by both children and adults although this one goes into more detail about the Warsaw Ghetto.
3. "The Hiding Place" by Corrie ten Boom. What a fantastic book and again is suitable for children. This is about a family in Amsterdam(?), I don't remember exactly, who creates a false wall in their home to hide a family of Jews.
4. "Mother Night" by Kurt Vonnegut. This one may not be suitable for children but it is rather funny. I mean, "The Black Furer of Harlam" lol, enough said. There is also a movie which stars Nick Nolte as Howard W. Campbell.
The first three I listed are Christian/Catholic books just so you know before you read.
