The Hidden Girl: A True Story of the Holocaust is by Lola Rein Kaufman. The true story of a Jewish child in Poland during WWII. After her parents were killed by the Nazi's, her grandmother arranges to smuggle Lola out of the ghetto and into the home of a woman named Anna who hides her. The book is written for younger readers so many of the brutal horrors of the War are glossed over, but readers will still feel for this small child who must struggle to find herself in a world that is not always a wonderful place. A good introductory novel of the Holocaust.
Ratings: 6th grade - 8 out of 10.
