When I read Elie Wiesel's book - Night - I was taken back by a Holocaust story that I hadn't heard before. I had read about the Nazi concentration camps and the extermination of Jews, Romani, homosexuals and others. All of that hurts my soul. In Night, I read about the death marches. And was again shocked at the depths that people can stoop to.
Stolen Girl is another book that surprised me. Just when you think that you have heard all of the horrible things that people have done... but I don't want to say more - no spoilers.
Just let me say - the protagonist in this story, Nadia, has fragments, dreams, and flashbacks about her life during World War II. This is the story that pieces those together in a way that shares another atrocity coming out of Nazi Germany.
Read this book. We need to understand history so we don't repeat it.
