Clara's War: One Girl's Story of Survival

Based on her wartime diary, Clara's War follows a teenage Jewish girl as she faces the brutal Nazi occupation of her small Polish town in 1942. Forced to hide with her family in a hand-dug bunker beneath a neighbor's house, she endures constant danger, loss, and the moral tensions of survival under threat. The narrative recounts the courage of those who sheltered her and the everyday horror of life during the Holocaust. Written for upper-grade readers, it offers a vivid, personal account of resilience in the face of systematic persecution.
