We are Witnesses- Five Diaries of Teenagers Who Died in the Holocaust by Jocab Boas 1995, Scholastic.
Five teenagers, all in different parts of war torn Germany during the most destructive war of all time…World War II. Each kept a diary of their lives and each possessed hope that the war would end soon
and life would go back to the way it was before their worlds crumbled down. All 5 were killed, but for what reason did this
have to happen?

Wartime Lies by Louis Begley 1991, Random House, New York.
Maciek, is a young Polish Jew living near Warsaw, Poland in 1939. He watches as his homeland develops
into a dark cruel well of hatred. As the Nazis take Warsaw his family
is lost as they separate and go into hiding. His Aunt Tania is all he has left
in this world and together they have to change their identity in order to avoid capture and the ultimate trip to the notorious
death camps. With each hiding place comes a new challenge of covering their true
identity and outrunning the Nazis who were always lurking in the shadows.
