Behind the Bedroom Wall
So far in the book Behind the Bedroom Wall a girl named Korinna Rehme who is a member of the Hitler Youth or the Jungmadel is taught to hate Jews and report them. But she then learns her mother and father are sheltering Jews and acting as if they are "true Germans". This all takes place in 1942. As Korinna is slowly progressing that Jews are in her home, her friend Rita and her Jungmadel leaders are starting to get suspicious for her especially for not attending 2 meetings for being "sick". Korinna is also in a tight situation and having a man vs. self conflict whether to report her parent's as enemies of Germany and whether to trust her best friend Rita and anyone else who is involved in the Nazi.
Behind the Bedroom Wall has so many parts that what to make you shake and nearly scream from the suspense. One of the interesting parts is once Rita reads a statement Korinna wrote about her parent's. Rita ask Korinna why she was writing it. Korinna only responds that it was because she was angry. Rita only replies saying she won't tell no one and her secret is kept with her but looks at the wardrobe for a long time, where the Jews are hiding (behind the wardrobe and behind Korinna's bedroom wall). I had a twisting feeling that Rita was only saying that to escape and tell some one especially her brother Hans who is a Gestapo officer. Another is while Korinna was sleeping the Gestapo police started to barge in her house searching for the Jews and not finding any. Hans was also involved in it making me think that Rita must've told her brother about what she read. What surprised me a lot in the plot is how everything is building up and getting it more complicated for Korinna to handle with the Jew situation. I think we're almost there in the climax making the book more exciting to read.
