My Story: The Storm to Come by Yankev Glatshteyn (author)

Yesterday, everything was normal. Today, they’ve taken your parents. Even your school isn’t safe. Who can you trust? First published in Yiddish in 1940, at the very beginning of World War II, this extraordinary book provides a historical snapshot of two boys – one Jewish, one German – trapped by the brutality of the Nazi regime. Written by a bystander at the moment of the Nazi rising, and approaching the subject from a unique standpoint in history, it is probably one of the first such stories ever written. Gritty, immediate and terrifying, it chillingly anticipates the Holocaust that was about to unfold.
