@jesusredeemedme2425 The Ring of the Löwenskölds by Selma Lagerlöf. One of my favourite books I ever read. It is a unique story about a cursed ring that gets stolen from a grave and brings misfortune to everyone who gets associated with it. So it's basically 3 generations of people being royally screwed by a piece of jewellery, with very little happy endings. But it's extremely well written. So much so that it won the literature Nobel prize In 1909
Resistance
I've read this book SO many times. It is THAT good! Such a stirring and emotional and strong book. <3
From Goodreads:
Chaya Lindner is a teenager living in Nazi-occupied Poland. Simply being Jewish places her in danger of being killed or sent to the camps. After her little sister is taken away, her younger brother disappears, and her parents all but give up hope, Chaya is determined to make a difference. Using forged papers and her fair features, Chaya becomes a courier and travels between the Jewish ghettos of Poland, smuggling food, papers, and even people.
Soon Chaya joins a resistance cell that runs raids on the Nazis' supplies. But after a mission goes terribly wrong, Chaya's network shatters. She is alone and unsure of where to go, until Esther, a member of her cell, finds her and delivers a message that chills Chaya to her core, and sends her on a journey toward an even larger uprising in the works — in the Warsaw Ghetto.
Though the Jewish resistance never had much of a chance against the Nazis, they were determined to save as many lives as possible, and to live — or die — with honor.
