The Secret of the Village Fool
The Secret of the Village Fool
by Rebecca Upjohn
The Secret of the
Village Fool is a story about one family’s struggle to survive during the
Nazi occupation of Zborów, Poland (now Ukraine). This Jewish family lived a
normal life until Germany invaded Poland and the Nazi soldiers began separating
families. Young Munio and Milek were forced to hide in a tunnel that was build
off of the root cellar in their weird neighbour’s yard. Although the boys heard
many strange stories about Anton Suchinski, they soon realized that he was a
good man who risked his life to save them.

Branded by the Pink Triangle
by Ken Setterington
Branded by the Pink
Triangle is a gripping story about the struggle of gay men during the Holocaust.
There is a perfect blend of facts, personal stories and photographs. There is
very little information about the plight of homosexuals under the Hitler regime
but this book gives a good overview without being too graphic. The target
audience for the book is young adults so I think that the author took out some
of the horrific details that regularly occurred in the concentration camps.
