Another Great book was A thousand splendid suns. Same author as the Kite Runner.

Mila 18--read that years and years ago. Also, The Wall (Hershey), the inspiring story of forty men and women who escape the dehumanizing horror of the Warsaw ghetto. And of course, Exodus by Leon Uris.
Right now I'm reading Whatever Happened to Raoul Wallenburg, by Morris Wolff about a man who went to Budapest to help the Jews and was arrested and detained by the Russians.
Then there was Schindler's List. I had to read that in chunks, taking breaks.
On another hardship subject, Searching for Tamsen Donner, by Gabrielle Burton.
Hosseini (Kite Runner, A Thousand Splendid Suns) has another book out, And the Mountains Echoed. That's up for me next.
If you like WWII books, I suggest Those Who Save Us, by Jenna Blum. It's fiction.
