Under the heading "A Tale for Children of Braving Soviet Tyranny,"
Meghan Cox Gudron praises a new YA novel about the horrors of life
under the Soviets. The book, "Between Shades of Gray," is about a
15-year old Lithuanian girl whose family is rounded up and deported
to the East in cattle cars. It sounds like a story of Jews, but Lina
is identified only as Lithuanian.
The reviewer mentions the memoir on a similar theme, Hautzig's
Endless Steppe. Here, too, the family is identified only as
"Polish." [sic]. Last year's "Under a Red Sky" gets passing mention,
but only as a story of Romania, no mention of Jewish component.
What's going on here?
Is "Between Shades of Gray" about a Jewish family?
