Holocaust Fiction recommendation

[Amanda Byrd <abyrd@CAROL.NET>]

        Just wanted to add to this recommendation.  I gave this book to one
of our history teachers to read and she picked up on the mentioning of Jews
being held in Oswego, NY, during World War II.  You may remember this thread
of information when I asked for help (and got it from you generous people!)
concerning this "Safe Haven" (o.p. book title about the Oswego experience).
Don't you just love history teachers who are able to use fiction to make
history come alive for young people?  Anyway, it's a great book and can lead
to some interesting research and classes.  Amanda Byrd

>I just finished reading _Briar Rose_ by Jane Yolen.  It is a powerfully
>moving story which shows the brutality of the Holocaust intertwined with

>consider it a must have book.  Be sure to read it if you haven't
