I Will Plant You a Lilac Tree: A Memoir of a Schindler's List Survivor

243 pp. | Atheneum | June, 2005 | Trade ISBN 0-689-86980-0 $16.95
(2) YA This is a painful alternative to Holocaust narratives that accent the hope and play down the horrors. Witness to unthinkable random brutality, Hillman, frantic to believe that there is a reason for the suffering, asks: "God, what have we done that you have forsaken us?" Hillman writes matter-of-factly about it all. The book includes a few family photographs that Hillman hid throughout her ordeal.
