The Girl in the Green Sweater: This is a book written by Krystyna
Chiger following her life as she escapes Nazi concentration camps. Living
in Poland, Chiger and her family members were forced into the sewers to
escape German forces. A small group moves into the sewers through a secret hole
her father had been digging for weeks using spoons and forks. Chiger's
grandmother knit her a green woolen sweater to keep her warm. They had life
threatening events in the sewers, including flooding and a large fire. Chiger
writes about her experience, “We could somehow always come up with something
that would make us burst out laughing. I think that this saved us too. It saved
our minds.” Of the 150,000 Jews living in this part of Poland, only three
families survived.
The Book Thief: For the next two years, Max remained in hiding, in an
empty storeroom. There was very little food. There was plenty of suspicion. Eventually
Max felt too nervous that the Nazi’s would find him and needed a new place to
hide. He had one name and address that was written on a piece of paper “Hans
Hubermann”.
