Little known historical event. I wonder how many others there may have been? Fascinating story from WW2. It's rreally interesting how many WW2 tales are coming to light in recent years, This book will be f interest to WW2 buffs, social historians, and arm chair historians. Migh make a great gift for the right person.

Very well researched and tells part of the story of the Holocaust that I've not heard a lot about, but not sure if this feels like it was written for children.

The Shelter and the Fence is a rudimentary look at 982 WWII refugees ensconce in Fort Oswego in New York State. The target audience is young adults but there is good information for anyone wanting to know more about this small facet of history. There are plenty of illustrations and captions. It was interesting to peruse the citations. It’s a quick read. The one thing that marred my reading was the digital formatting. The main text was hard to distinguish from the captions. Some sentences were disjointed and I had to go 1-2 pages farther to read the rest of it because new sentences were inserted. It made for frustrating reading, which I hope is corrected upon publication.
