Health (Non-fiction)
Ayer, Eleanor H. Parallel
Journeys; with Helen Waterford and Alfons Heck. (dual narratives by German
YA in Hitler Youth and Jewish German YA in Holland during WWII). Based
upon the profiled individuals autobiographies:
Bemelmans, Ludwig. ARE YOU
HUNGRY ARE YOU COLD. I think the father here is a French Collaborator
during WWII.
Benary, Isbert, Margot:
"The Ark" and its sequel
Cassedy, Sylvia. "Behind the
Attic Wall," about a girl who is a member of Hitler Youth and discovers
her parents are hiding Jews in their home.
Degens titled FREYA ON THE
WALL. Although the title refers to the Berlin Wall and its collapse
in 1989, the story has many layers and refers back to the events of World
War II as well. I think it is very well written historical fiction
and is deserving of more attention that it has received.
