Two fairly powerful books which are based on actual lives are "Across the tracks" about a boy separated from his family who survives WW2 and "The Stolen Years" by Ziskind. In one incident she sneaks out of a line at concentration camp because she sees someone she knows in another line and only later learns that the line she had been in had gone to the gas chambers. It is an incredible testament to the human spirit. Florence McElligott Rosendale Elementary Niskayuna NY fmce at aol.com
