A 16-year-old American girl with an apathetic view towards her Jewish family history finds herself pulled through time into 1941 to a small Polish village where the Nazis have just begun their genocidal propaganda.

Another telling of the Holocaust, this time from the perspective of a modern teenage girl who only grudgingly accepts the Jewish traditions, but when she is asked to "open the front door" as part of the Seder feast discovers that she has been whirled into the 1940s and stepped into the life of a prisoner in one of the German death camps, where she experiences its horrors firsthand.—BOB STEBBINS <[email protected]>

Hannah Stern, an American-born Jewish adolescent, is uninterested in the culture, faith, and customs of her relatives. But she begins to reevaluate her heritage during a supernatural experience of being transported back to a Nazi death camp in 1941 and meeting a young girl named Rivkah who is a fellow captive in the camp. As Hannah and Rivkah struggle to survive in the face of daily atrocities, they form an unbreakable bond.—Jwelch5742
