When Eliana and her village are forced to relocate to a "camp" , heartache and pain are the only comforters to remind them they're still alive. Deaths, hard times, and a little bit of love are the only things she has to hold onto.. Will she make it out alive? --Based on The Holocaust. PLEASE NOTE- I HAVE FINALLY FINISHED THE EDITING FOR THIS PIECE AS OF 5/3/2016. It is NOT perfect. I wrote this story when I was 12, and NO it is not ALL historically accurate, but that is the point of a fiction piece. Do not tell me what is and isn't "realistic." I don't care.

Sylvia Zipper is a 14 year old Jewish girl living in Poland during the Holocaust. She hides from the Nazis with her large family in the attic of generous Mrs. Simon, however the small cramped space is too much for Sylvia. With her older sister Cassie in tow, Sylvia sneaks out into the woods to simply be able to breathe in fresh air. Sylvia manages to hide from the Nazis in the bushes, but she sees her older sister get dragged away in front if her eyes, and there's nothing she can do about it. Fearing for her safety, Sylvia's mom sends her off to live in America. This is the story of Sylvia Zipper, the diary of a Holocaust survivor.

When Lena's life gets turned upside down by one of history's most tragic events, she has no idea what to expect. But she could have never imagined love... (The holocaust was a horrible time in our history, this story is in no way making it okay. I'm just trying to bring a lightness to a terrible event that never should have happened.)

DISCONTINUED We all know the devastating story of the Romanov assassination right? Wrong. The Romanov's may have been held under house arrest and shot in the basement, but what caused that to happen? Why did they do it? Did Nicholas and Alexandra know their family was in danger? Did they know they could be killed any second? Did they know Anastasia was the reason? (Completely Fiction. None of this is true)

Set in Lille, France, in the years leading up to the second world war, Of Silence tells the story of a boy, Charles, and six other people - a baker, a teacher, a tailor, a hostage, an actress, and a soldier.

Filled with prose, growth, and a little bit of romance, Of Silence is a compelling read that draws the reader in and doesn't let them go until it's all over. highest rank: #1 in historical fiction || wattpad featured 250516 || yourstoryindia finalist || cc2k15 honorable mention

Throughout the city, people are dying of starvation and frostbite, and Karen knows that if she doesn't escape immediately, she will share their fate.

But as the two join forces in order to stay alive, an unexpected romance takes root. Now, as Karen gets closer to the reality of escape, she has a choice to make: Will she return to a safe life in America with Bobby, or remain in war-torn Russia with Petr?
