THE GIRL IN THE GREEN SWEATER in an intimate portrayal of young girl's memories of the Holocaust. Krystyna was a young girl when the Holocaust first began, but by the end of the Holocaust she was a mature young woman.

As readers delve into THE GIRL IN THE GREEN SWEATER, characters literally come alive. Readers will grow very attached to certain characters and want to smack others upside the head. Krystyna tells of her reality both from a child's viewpoint and an adult's.

Although you know the end result, you cannot help but hope the ending turns out differently. The vivid details and long descriptions enable readers to picture everything happening in front of them.

As you finish THE GIRL IN THE GREEN SWEATER you will have found Krystyna's attitude amazing and feel how grateful she was towards those who helped her family.

THE GIRL IN THE GREEN SWEATER is a must read for World War II history buffs.
