The Island on Bird Street

Uri Orlev hid in the Warsaw Ghetto from 1939-1941.  His mother was killed by the Nazis and he survived Bergen-Belsen.  This is actually an adventure tale about Alex, who hides alone in the Ghetto after his father has been taken in a razzia [round-up].  After the endless tales of horror I’ve been reading, it was a fantastical, adventurous relief and release.
