Why did her grandfather bring a parcel all the way from Yugoslavia to Australia?

And why was her mother horrified by it and told Hannah that she could not look at it?

Being a teenager and curious, Hannah found it and did look inside. What she found were pictures taken at a concentration camp, Mauthausen, where her grandfather was held prisoner during WWII.

Hannah knew nothing about the holocaust, but she was determined to find out and determined to find out how her grandfather had this book of photos.

We find out about his life during that time and move to present day as it is revealed that this was a concentration camp that was in operation and one where two prisoners were ordered to take photos of the prison and the prisoners.

The pictures in the book were used to prosecute during the Nuremberg trials.

Your heart again will go out to the Europeans and especially those in concentration camps who put up with the cruelty of the Nazis.

THE HIDDEN BOOK is another marvelous, heart-wrenching, well-researched book based on truth.

This is a gem you won’t want to miss if you enjoy historical fiction and wonderful characters.

You will love all the characters for their strength both past and present. 5/5

Thank you to the publisher for a copy of the book. All opinions are my own.
