Have you ever read <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/216408.The_True_Story_of_Hansel_and_Gretel" rel="nofollow">The True Story of Hansel and Gretel</a>? It's a re-telling (without the fairy tale aspects) of the story in WWII Poland. One of the best historical fiction books I have ever read. I cried so hard during parts. And the ending is so memorable. I really really suggest it, especially since WWII interests you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01145140303960949029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345948308406299194.post-65996722211649775872012-01-26T18:06:59.912-05:002012-01-26T18:06:59.912-05:00I choose HF, too!
