The Girl in the Green Sweater by Krystyna Chiger 940.53

I have always been intrigued by the Holocaust and have read many books on the subject. In my opinion there is no reason to read fictional books about this event since the truth could never be outdone by the reality. I have read about people who survived in concentration camps and people who survived by hiding in attics. In this book Krystyna tells the story of how she went from being a normal child living with her baby brother and parents in a nice apartment, to living in the sewers of Lvov Poland. This is a remarkable story of survival, faith and friendship. The green sweater in the title refers to the sweater that she wore during the entire ordeal. You won't soon forget this book.
