Though Anneke's family is Jewish, her religion means little to her. Anneke's life changes in 1942 when the Nazis invade Holland and she and her family are deported to Theresienstadt, a concentration camp in Czechoslovakia. Not only are conditions in the camp appalling, but the camp is the site of an elaborate hoax: the Nazis are determined to convince the world that Theresienstadt is an idyllic place and that European Jews are thriving under the Nazi regime. Because he is an artist, Anneke's father is compelled to help in the propaganda campaign, and Anneke finds herself torn between her loyalty to her family and her sense of what is right. \u003cem\u003eWhat World is Left\u003c\/em\u003e was inspired by the experiences of the author's mother, who was imprisoned in Theresienstadt during World War II.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe epub edition of this title is fully accessible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMonique Polak\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of more than thirty books for kids and young adults and the three time winner of the Quebec Writers' Federation Prize for Children's and YA Literature.
