It's definitely one for the list. I have never read The Diary of Anne Frank and I’m not quite sure how I ever got out of school without it. It’s definitely one for the list.

I'm in the middle of "Suite Francaise" by Irene Nemirovsky, a pair of novels about the occupation of France. It has been excellent so far, and is made all the more poignant by the fact that it was left unfinished (she intended it to be a collection of three novels) when Nemirovsky was arrested and deported to Auschwitz, where she died.

I would recommend The Book Thief by Zusak. AMAZING read. Narrated by Death...a very different view. I think all should read it. So, I hope I win this book!!

It is based on a true story of a boy who's life was saved by his harmonica playing. He received bread in exchange for playing Schubert and also gave hope to the entire camp. It is not a fun picture book and it is hard to read aloud, but my most hard hearted 5th graders are in silence by the end. Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli is another favorite. Middle school age and up, for sure. One of my favorites is a picture book called “The Harmonica” by Tony Johnston. It is based on a true story of a boy who’s life was saved by his harmonica playing.

This book sounds incredible. My favorite book on the Holocaust is The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom because of her remarkable faith. Your review made me not want to pass up on this giveaway!

Since I'm early in the comments, I'll take an obvious choice: Schindler's List, by Steven Zaillian. I found it interesting in the way it depicted the lives of non-Jews and the way that they were effected by the Holocaust, and their motivation to take risks to stop it, especially since that seemed so out of character for Schindler.

I blogged about your contest here: http://blog.literarily.com/2008/07/17/giveaway-at-the-literate-housewife.aspx My recommendations: 1. The Nazi Officer's Wife by Edith Hahn Beer: A true story that reads like fiction about a Jewish woman who survived the Holocaust by marrying a Nazi officer and concealing her Jewish identity from him. Fascinating! 2. Number the Stars by Lois Lowry: A young adult novel and Newbery Medal winner about how the people of Denmark helped Jews escape the Nazis. 3. A Thread of Grace by Mary Doria Russell: An aspect of WWII I didn't know about - the Italian resistance to Nazi Germany and how the Italian people risked their lives to hide Jewish people.
