I have read a lot of holocaust books. But this one I think is by far the most heartbreaking and disturbing. It is about the French roundup of Jews in 1942. They eventually are all sent to the death camps in Auschwitz. The story centers around a little girl whose family is being round up and she hides her little brother in a cupboard hoping to come back and save him. What they don't say is that this round up of Jews was mainly women and children that were taken, then separated, and all killed.
The true story is absolutely horrible, but the author also makes the fictional story horrible. This book still haunts my dreams.
