I haven't read this recently, but have recommended it to lots of people over the last 20-odd years. If you thought "Night" by Elie Wiesel was moving, check this out. Jewish mother, father, and kid living in Warsaw at the beginning of World War II. They survive the initial fall of Poland and Warsaw in 1939, survive the Nazi's elimination of the Jews in the Ghetto in 1942, manage to get their kid out into the countryside, both mother and father get shipped off to different concentration camps, both manage to survive the war, manage to find each other after the war is over, AND manage to find their son. While it seems that WWII survivor books are published every other day now, this one, while dated, is definitely a must-read! ( )
