Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly

This was a very good book dealing with what I consider a very difficult subject.  It follows three women from completely different backgrounds during World War II.  There is Coroline, a socialite in New York City who helps with the war effort.   Kasia , a young Polish girl who ends up getting sent to a work camp.  And Herta,  a doctor who works at a work camp doing experiments.  Their lives do intermingle and their experiences are so vastly different it is really hard to imagine the disparity.   This was a different perspective in looking at the war, very enlightening,  and something that should be read.
