The Book is about a girl named Karina. She is very loyal to Germany and to Hitler. She is in a jewish youth group that brainwashes the kids to turn in people who are helping jews. So far in the Karina is told there is mice in the wall but what there actually is refuge jews. Once she finds out that they are jews hidden behind the bedroom wall she doesn't know weather to turn her parents in. Her loyalties are really tested when someone tips off the Gestapo that there are hidden jews in the area. They come in the middle of the night to search the house. That is where I left off in the book.
I could relate this to many text because there is a lot of of books about the holocaust. But perhaps the one that mostly popped into my head while reading this book was the diary of Ann Frank. The reason that I thought of that book was because in the Diary of Ann Frank she is also hidden in a secret compartment that led to a room up stairs, this kind of the same as Behind the Bedroom wall. I say this because they both have jews behind a bedroom wall. It is also kind of cool when you read both book because one is from a jewish prospective and the other one is from a German prospective and noth the main characters are in the same age so there stories are somewhat similar.
What book are you talking about? You can't forget the title! Also, good connection and comments.
