The Whispering Town submitted by SBNB on August 19, 2018, 8:14pm This is a quick, simple story about a Danish family hiding Jews from the Nazis. It was a good story and also educational.

World War II submitted by poptart887 on July 28, 2020, 11:42pm This book is about a town during WWII. Everyone in the town works together to help the Jews escape the Nazis. I like this book because it shows kids that there can also be discrimination based on religion. It is good for them to know that not all discrimination is rooted in the color of the skin.
