You should read all her books they are amazing. Start off with All my Love Detrick series.

The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom. It’s an autobiography on how she and her family helped Jews escape, was caught and then survived Hitlers concentration camps. Very good book
Kommadants girl, Sarah’s Key, those who save us are great fiction. For non fiction I highly recommend children of the flame, Auschwitz, and lucky child,
Oh life in a jar is another good one and the mascot. Highly recommend those two too.
The choice by Edith ega. Best read
From Sand and Ash
We were the lucky ones!!!
This is about a substitute teacher I had in Illinois. I had thought her stories were made up because my Polish family made up a lot. Then a few years ago, I stumbled on this and was lucky enough to help my step daughter complete a WW2 biography project on her. Anna’s son and daughter in law sent photos and additional information. This is an amazing story.
Must check this one out! I’m from IL
Apparently she was a Catholic Teacher up in Chicago for a very long time. She was 4 ft tall with white hair and pants to her boobs when she subbed for us in Algonquin.
Sarah’s key,
Librarian of auschwitz
Zookeepers wife
All amazing,
Have yet to read tattooist of Auschwitz,
Lilac Girls was very good! I’m almost done with The Alice Network and that’s very good also!
I should say the story flips flops though from World War I to post World World II.
