This week's theme is, "Confronting Injustice.” This thematic pair includes They Went Left by Monica Hesse, a YA novel that tells the story of 18-year-old Zofia, who has recently been liberated from Gross-Rosen concentration camp in Germany. Trell by Dick Lehr is the second half of this week’s pair.
