Fictionalized account (based on a true story) of a boy who survived 10 concentration camps in 4 years. This book was hailed as "the boys' Anne Frank" but had none of the heart. It's engrossing--not realizing it was based on fact I was waiting to see how it turned out--but reads as a factual accounting of time rather than an emotional story. 
 Still, I'd push this a hundred times over if I could make Boy in the Striped Pajamas go away forever. 
 Thanks, Netgalley.
