BOOKS AND RESOURCES OF THE MONTH            

Hiding in the Open is the chilling memoir of one of two sisters who survived the Holocaust by posing as Catholic Poles in Germany during World War II. They missed the liquidation of their ghetto by mere hours, hiding in a shed all night. They flee to Germany where they hide in the open till the end of the war, working in a hotel housing Gestapo officers. Many close escapes and daring moments make this book a truly captivating read.
