behind the bedroom wall by laura e williams

When she finds out she is furious with her parents and thinks of them as traders, but as she gets to know the Jews, her whole perspective changes.

There's a family secretly hiding Jews behind their bedroom wall, the thing is Korrina, the active Nazi of the family does not know about it. This book gives you a whole new perspective on the holocaust. Korinna's own family gets denounced and she finally realises that the most precious thing is freedom, for without freedom how is one able to do the things one loves? A riveting read! There are recorded cases of some of these children and youth denouncing their own family members and friends if they felt they were not following Hitler's policies. In history, many of these Hitler Youth were totally indoctrinated into believing that what Hitler and the Nazis did was right and good for the Fatherland. To her horror, Korinna discovers that her parents are anti-Hitler and helping Jews, and in fact hiding some Jews behind the wall of her bedroom! Initially Korinna feels her parents are betraying Hitler and 'bad', but as time passes and she gets acquainted with the Jewish refugees, she realises that her beliefs are wrong. 'Behind the Bedroom Wall' is generally well-written - it is a work of historical fiction that tells the story of Korinna Rehme, a 13-year-old Aryan German who is also a member of the Jungmadel, a Nazi youth group and who has been brainwashed into believing Hitler's propaganda, including the Nazi racial policies of discriminating against Jews. Thirteen-year-old Korinna must decide whether to report her parents to her Hitler youth group when she discovers that they are hiding Jews in a secret space behind Korinna's bedroom wall.Ī Hitler Maiden overcomes prejudice and 'sees' the truth
