between shades of gray by Ruta Sepetys

Wow!, What I didnn't learn in US History class, probably because it wasn't really US History but it would have been good to have been given a heads up that more happened during WWII the Hitler and the Nazis!!!

This occureed in Lithuania June 1941. How could so many people disappear and no one in the US know about it.  Did it really take until the bombing of Pearl Harbor for the eyes of the US governement  to be opened wide? I had to explain to my children that their brother who has been diagnosed with Aspergers' Syndrome that he would have been taken by the Nazis and who knows what torment he would have gone through because of his learning disability. Now to think people from the Baltic countries just disappered from their homes, imprisoned for years under the worst living conditions.
