Somewhere There is Still a Sun by Michael Gruenbaum

In this memoir, Michael, or Misha, recounts what it was like to be a Jew during the Holocaust. Misha, his mom, and his sister have to go live in a camp with other Jews. While they experience many hardships throughout the book, they also manage to stick together. Misha also meets many boys that become friends while they are living in the Terezin concentration camp.

Bitmoji ImageI really like how the author chose to write this book from the perspective of his younger self. The book reads like it's from a person living through those events at that time. This makes it easy for readers to connect to Michael. If you're interested in learning more about the Holocaust, this book is a great way to educate young readers about what happened from a personal account.
