I cannot recommend this book enough if you are interested in the Holocaust. It's a harrowing account of a young teenager's life in the Lodz, Poland Jewish ghetto during World War II and then later in labor camps. Through it all, the love of her family, and hope, and her poetry keep her going. Her unemotional telling of the cruelties she and others suffered just makes things that much more horrifying.
