"Even if only evil is left in the world, a small shred of virtue must remain or the evil has no definition."
When Elisabeth's life is completely unrecognizable compared to how it once was, she uses her diary as a coping mechanism. Managing her way through the persecution, how will she figure out a way to survive the war?
This book is taken from the perspective of a young girl during the Shoah, also known as the Holocaust. This book is based on real events, but any similarities to a real person are merely a coincidence. The inspiration for this book was the many diaries kept by young children during a time their life was surrounded by war.

The Cuckoo's Song
'How could a God that inspired something as beautiful as this song also inspire people to rob her of the only person she had left? It made no sense to her. No higher power did. The comfort of an ultimate divine being had been ripped from her long ago, and the past few years had only confirmed that even if there was a God, she would hate him anyway. Yet music had always lifted her in this way, and it was difficult not to feel its power now. Tears welled in her eyes as she thought back to the last time she had heard anything like it. It had been Christmas eve; the night she had made herself a silent promise to reunite with her best friend and the man she loved. It was hopeless now. Anna turned and leant against the cold wall, sliding to a crumpled heap on the ground. Pulling her knees to her chest, she let the tears come. She felt so desperately alone. Her dream of Karl had been right. All she had ahead of her was a lonely future. Who could she turn to now?' The third and final instalment in the Cuckoo series. #1 concentrationcamp Trigger warning for graphic violence, graphic sexual content, mature themes and traumatic stress.Complete

Miriam Krizel's Diary
*Highest rank #1 on the Hebrew Site, 24/04/17* True story. I heard the story of Miriam many years ago in an interview that would probably have been lost in history, but from the first moment I knew it had to be written. I could not let it go. So, under the influence of Anne Frank's diary, I travelled around 80 years back in time to write a diary from Miriam's point of view as a child. I decided to publish the diary because it was the promise I had given her, in the hope that it was never really too late...to live only among the words left behind. ~~~ Feel free to comment and ask Q. This story is being translated from Hebrew, my native language, so forgive me for any grammar mistake (If you notice any, I would like to know!)❤️Complete

Landslide - Band of Brothers
Piano keys were her childhood, but the grasp of a pistol was her reality. Polish SOE Agent, Natia Filipska, has lurked among the rubble and the shadows of her occupied-Warsaw for years, ever since the war started and ripped her from the life that had guaranteed happiness and opportunity. The SOE took her in, as well as her two siblings, Klimeck and Ryzshard, arming them with a fighting spirit, and a chance at survival, at a life where they could avenge the ones that were taken. Being apart of the Cichociemni came next, Elite Polish Paratroopers, and it was their ticket home. Ever since her feet had then touched the ground, she had been fighting with her home and her people - the Polish Home Army. The Warsaw Uprising got her captured, and then being on the run nearly got her killed - her only ally was the pistol at her side. The Dutch Resistance of Eindhoven, Holland housed her, but it would never be her home. Upon liberation though, her path crossed with an Airborne Infantry - the 101st Airborne Division - the Screaming Eagles - American men. To ensure her safety back to Warsaw, Poland and her family, Easy Company and their men might be her only hope. But hope was lost long ago. ------------------------- " Well, I've been 'fraid of changin' 'Cause I've built my life around you But time makes you bolder Even children get older And I'm gettin' older, too...." - Landslide, Fleetwood Mac ---------- mature themes are held within the context of this story that may be triggering to some people: death, smoking, alcohol, killings, and severe depression, along with mental health issues. --------- band of brothers + oc's { October 2nd 2020 } UPDATES BEGIN - Fridays starting 10 - 2 - 20 started: 7/4/20 ended: 3/15/23 ------------------------ NEW COVER!!! done by ME!!! credits on words by @swedeandspicyComplete
