A modern young teenager, Hilary, hates Jews, and joins a local Aryan Supremacy group. While in the hospital recovering from a motorcycle accident caused by her skin-head boyfriend, she is teleported back into Poland in the 1940's, into the mind of Chana, a young Jewish girl, as she gets moved into the Lodz ghetto. Chana's journey from normalcy to horror is chronicled by Hilary's observations, including the transport to the death camp at Auschwitz, where Chana and her few remaining relatives struggle to survive. This is a gut-wrenching book. I stayed up all night reading it!

Really one of the best reads i've indulged myself in in awhile. Although this says young adult, it is also adult. It is a fantastic, gripping sad story full of suspense and gut wrenching hope. I loved it. If you are curious or interested in reading more about the strong that were sentenced to Auschwitz, then you will enjoy this read.

This was a book I started reading without knowing anything about it prior. It starts a bit slow but once it gets into Chana's story it gets really hard to put down. It really gets into the nitty gritty about what happens in the camps and what it takes just to stay alive. Overall it was a good book, and I'm glad I read it.
