Hello!! In highschool we read the book for negros, it was an amzing book!!!! At first I didnt want to read it but after I read the first chapter I love it! Google the book description but I highly recommend it, it tells the point of view, in alot of detail ofhow slaves lived and it just explains the whole life of this poor girl!

The Author of Facing the Lion Memoirs of a Young Girl In Nazi Europe written by sister Simone Arnold Liebster.  Well her husband Max Liebster wrote a book when he was alive called:  Crucible of Terror A Story of Survival Through the Nazi Storm.  

 

He was sent to the concentration camps because he was a Jew and that's how he found the truth.  There's a lot of sad things that happen in the book but it turns out well.  I won't say anymore, I don't want to spoil it.

Funny you should ask for a "true" history book, as they are always written from a specific point of view. It's quite interesting when you've learned one version of an event, then read another version that will twist and maybe topple your previous ideas. Same with Scriptures. You think you know a scripture - until you dig a bit deeper.

Burt, I can recommend the book "Eleni" by Nicholas Gage.  

As I couldn't explain it better, I'm sending you the summary from Wikipedia:

As a teenager, I was taught the history of the civil war of Greece in Greek school, but I admit it was really boring for me - just "dull" dates and facts. But when I read this book, i was really captured. The view of a contemporary witness really changes everything.
