Stones From The River

Ursula Hegi

Linked to Doreen's other choice by also being about the holocaust. In this book the narrator is a female dwarf who chronicles the reaction of a peaceable and integrated German community of basically 'good' Germans to the coming of Nazism and the gradual taking away of the Jews. It also describes the post war atmosphere in which everyone then denies the atrocities that took place.
