Another true story, not on the Holocaust..The Devil in Pew Number Seven by Rebecca Nichols. I tend to need to have a compelling read that holds my interest or it is too easy to put down and get back to quilting! Not a bad thing!
I read a lot of those books, too. I read Once We Were Brothers not long ago. I think you'd enjoy it.
