[aisle] Jewish youth lit

[Walsh, Michelle]

I'm not sure if she's looking for current, authentic voices or those from
the past, but Chaim Potok's The Chosen is an excellent YA novel.

Uri Orlev
<https://www.yadvashem.org/education/educational-materials/lesson-plans/uri-orlev.html>
is
a Holocaust survivor who's written a number of great middle school novels:

The Island on Bird Street
The Island on Bird Street (Hebrew: האי ברחוב הציפורים‎; The Island on Birds
Street) is a *1981 semi-autobiographical children's book* by Israeli author
Uri Orlev, which tells the story of a young boy, Alex, and his struggle to
survive alone in a ghetto during World War II.

The Lady with the Hat
Yulek, a seventeen-year-old concentration camp survivor, makes his way to
Palestine after World War II ends. There he meets Theresa, who was saved
from the Nazis by Catholic nuns. Together they struggle to re-adjust to
life after war. ...
