Skeletons at the Feastby: Chris Bohjalian
Fabulous book!
It is set during the end of WW2, in Germany. It starts out with a German family, sending off their father and brother to help with the war effort. You see the war from their perspective. As the story moves on you see the war from other perspectives: Jewish man, Jewish women in a concentration camp, English POW. It is very good, interesting to see from all those perspectives. It is about National Pride, turning a blind eye, seeing what is really going on.
I really enjoyed how the author brought all those stories together; weaved them into each other. I highly recommend this book. Please note, there are some sexual parts to this book - read those as you like, or don't like.

I read this book on our cruise to Canada. I enjoyed it and strongly recommend it to learn about human life for German Jews during WW II
