What would it be like to be related to Adolf Hilter?  PRISONER OF NIGHT AND FOG tells the story of Gretchen Muller, who has grown up with her adored Uncle Dolf.  To her, he is a fun-loving uncle...but to the world he is the infamous Adolf Hitler.  Gretchen has never had cause to doubt what Uncle Dolf tells her to think and do..until she meets a fearless (and handsome) Jewish reporter named Daniel.  Uncle Dolf has taught Gretchen to despise people like Daniel, however Daniel has uncovered secret information about the death of Gretchen's father.  Together the two set out to uncover the mystery of how her father was killed, and who was to blame.  Will Gretchen remain true to the Nazi party and her beloved Uncle...or will her eyes be opened to the truth Daniel and his friends try to show her?  This is an exciting and terrifying book that had me on the edge of my seat until the final moment!  If you enjoyed The Boy in the Striped Pajamas or The Book Thief, pick this one up in our library today!
