Book Review: Hiding the Jews
Summary: 4 Stars


This book gives you a whole new perspective on the holocaust. There's a family secretly hiding Jews behind their bedroom wall, the thing is Korrina, the active Nazi of the family does not know about it. When she finds out she is furious with her parents and thinks of them as traders, but as she gets to know the Jews, her whole perspective changes. Find out what happens to the Jews and see what Korrina does to help! "...if you're not free to love whom you wish, what good is love..."Author Laura Williams uses many inspirational quotes and messages in her book that can relate to your everyday life, such as this one here. I really recommend reading this book. It teaches you a lot about history, it is fun and exciting to read, and it teaches you good life lessons. What more could you ask for all in one book?

Summary of Behind the Bedroom Wall (Historical Fiction for Young Readers)

It's 1942. Thirteen-year-old Korinna Rehme is an active member of her local Jungmadel, a Nazi youth group, along with many of her friends. She believes that Hitler is helping Germany by instituting a program to deal with what he calls the "Jewish problem," a program that she witnesses as her Jewish neighbors are attacked and taken from their homes. Korinna's parents, however, are members of a secret underground group providing a means of escape to the Jews of their city. Korinna is shocked to discover that they are hiding a refugee family behind the wall of her bedroom. But as she comes to know the family, her sympathies begin to turn. When someone tips off the Gestapo, loyalties are put to the test and Korinna must decide what she really believes and whom she really trusts. Filled with adventure, Behind the Bedroom Wall helps readers understand the forces that drove so many to turn on their neighbors and the courage that allowed some to resist.
