This book follows Eva, a Jewish English student in 1942 who escapes Paris with her Mother after the arrest of her Polish Father.

By using the simplest of codes, Eva and Rémy preserve these children’s legacies in a book that has stood the test of time, creating tangible proof that they once existed. The Book Of Lost Names by Kristin Harmel is a powerful Word War II story that illustrates the history of the many forgers who created false documents and helped thousands of children to escape Nazi occupied France in the 1940s. I read The Room on Rue Amélie last August by Harmel and I loved it so I had to read more by her! ✨ The Book of Lost Names symbolizes the last shred of identity of hundreds of Jewish children who stand to be erased by the Nazi regime. Once again I read another historical fiction book that left me smiling, tearing up and wanting to hug the book because of how much I loved the story and the characters! □ ![]() Strong Female Protagonist helps saves Jewish children by making false documents.Ĭontent Warning: gun violence, concentration camps, death, Nazi soldiers Historical Fiction book based in France/Switzerland during WWII. ![]()
