More About This Book

Overview

In 1939, ten-year-old Korinna Rehme becomes a member of her local Jungmaedel, a Nazi youth group. She believes that Hitler is helping the world by dealing with what he calls the "Jewish problem." When Korinna discovers that her parents are secretly hiding Jews in their house and helping them to escape the city, she is shocked. And her loyalties are put to an extreme test when a neighbor tips off the Gestapo.

Thirteen-year-old Korinna must decide whether to report her parents to her Hitler youth group when she discovers that they are hiding Jews in a secret space behind Korinna's bedroom wall.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
Melodrama substitutes for conflict in this heavy-handed novel set in Nazi Germany. At 13, Korinna Rehme is just like the other members of her girls' youth group: besotted with the Fhrer ("Hitler is the most wonderful man, Mother. Don't you think so?") and rabidly anti-Semitic. When she discovers that two Jews, a mother and young daughter, are hiding in her very own house, she is horrified at her parents' calumny. As Korinna weighs the possibility of turning her parents in, her best friend, Rita, begins to grow suspicious and starts laying a deadly trap for the Rehmes and their clandestine guests. Neither subtlety nor insight plays a part in these proceedings: Williams doesn't suggest the attractions of the Hitler youth groups or allow for the range of attitudes within these groups, described so persuasively in such memoirs as Ilse Koehn's Mischling, Second Degree or Hans Peter Richter's I Was There. Instead, the dilemmas faced by these characters come across to the reader as crystal-clear choices between good and evil. This type of simplification makes for bad historyand a flat read. Ages 9-13. (July)
School Library Journal
Gr 5-8Korinna, 13, loves her country and is active in the Jungmadel, Hitler's youth group for girls. When she learns that her parents are hiding Jews, she is shocked and angry. A series of events, including her reluctant, but growing attachment to the little girl hidden behind the wardrobe in her room, leads her to conclude that the price of being loyal to the Fatherland is too high. It is Korinna's quick thinking that saves the family during a night raid. The atmosphere and mood of the times are palpable, with Korinna and her family forced to flee Germany. If the characters are "types," such as the brave father, the nasty so-called "best" friend, and the vicious Gestapo agent, they are clearly drawn and appropriately employed in a fast-moving, believable plot with an inevitable ending.Amy Kellman, The Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh

Kirkus Reviews
A loyal member of Hitler's Jungmädel has some choices to make when she discovers that her parents are hiding a Jewish family.

Having uncritically accepted the pervading anti-Semitism and faithfully parroted its slogans, Korinna, 11, is horrified when her wardrobe swings back to reveal Sophie Krugmann and Rachel, her 5-year-old daughter, in a secret room. Does Korinna believe in the party line strongly enough to turn in her own mother and father? In the agony of indecision, Korinna skips school, loses sleep, and arouses the suspicions of her best friend, Rita, whose brother is a Gestapo agent; meanwhile, reluctantly succumbing to Rachel's charms and thinking about how Jews and anyone who associates with them are being brutalized, her attitudes begin to change. Williams (The Long Silk Strand, 1995, etc.) has her young characters obediently repeating patriotic Nazi slogans and promises, but presents counterarguments more subtly, by simply showing the Gestapo's cruelty, Sophie's bitterness and exhaustion, Rachel's fear, and the general climate of repression. In the end, Rita betrays Korinna, but then warns her of the impending raid; the Krugmanns are spirited away just in time, and Korinna's family must also go into hiding. Confusingly, Williams's suggestion in the afterword that freedom may be more important than love isn't a theme she develops in the story, but she pays stirring tribute to the courage and ingenuity some outwardly ordinary people showed in those dark days. With scattered, stiff b&w illustrations.

    Germany's Style

    Germany¿s Style Behind The Bedroom Wall, some people ask ¿what are you talking about¿, but the ones who have read it know what I am talking about. Well if you don¿t know listen up because I am going to tell you. It is a fantastic book. It has a little mystery, a lot of suspense, and a whole lot of fun (not in prejudice way). But this book is highly recommended by a lot of people including me.¿Whats so special about the book¿, well a bunch of things. If you haven¿t read it I will tell you a portion of it. Well it starts as a young girl named Korrina, who lives in Germany and is supposedly called a loyal German. She has 2 best friends one called Rita and the other called Eva. She goes to school like everyone else and goes home like everyone else. So the day starts normal and she goes to school. On the way there her friend Rita catches up with her and they walk to school together. So Rita starts talking about how her brother Hans (also a German officer) had busted the butcher called Haase, for hiding Jews in his house. ¿He got sent to a concentration camp¿ said Rita. They continued walking until they got to school. When the day was over Korrina went to her Fungmadel meeting where they worshiped Hitler and Germany. When she got back from her meeting she got home greeted her mother, ate, and went to bed (this would be a normal day). The next few days continued like that, but during the days she heard some scurrying noises in her wall, and suspected it was mice. Then one day when she came home she greeted her mother, and called down her dad for dinner. When they had finished her dad told her that a present was waiting for her next to his boots. She got there there was a box with holes punched in it. As she opened it inside she saw a blob of black and white fur. It was a little kitten. Here father said to her as she cuddled the fur ball, that it was for the mice in the walls. She had token him out of the box and hugged him as she went to sleep. During the next few days, her teacher was arrested and when she went home she figured out that her parents were traitors!!!!! They had been hiding the Enemy (the Jews). Is she a loyal German? Will she tell on her parents? What will happen if she doesn¿t tell? Will she warm up to the idea of liking Jews. These Questions can only be answered in the book. One more question. Will you take the amazing adventure and read the book? That question only you can answer.

    Will forever be one of my favorites!

    the whole book educates you on this horrific time called the Holocaust. It is very unusual since the protagonist starts off being a Hitler supporter, making it all the more fun to read! I recommend Behind The Bedroom Wall to everyone who enjoys learning about the Holocaust!

    Hitler is BAD

    I know it was hard for Jews during World War II. The first time I started to read the book, I thought it wasn't that interesting. But as I gradually started to read more and more, the words seemed real. It seemed as though I was one of the characters in the book. I recommened all of you to read it. This book is my favorite, besides Harry Potter!

    Jewish or not?

    It was a hard life during World War II. There were shootings and suicides. This is the life that Korinna lives in. It isn't easy for her at all. One winter day she comes home, and in her bedroom she hears strange noises. What could they be? Finally she asks her parents what those strange noises are. All she gets is bad news. Her parents are hiding Jews from her. How could they do such a thing? After finding this out, she gets mad at her parents. They were betraying the Fatherland! But, as time went by, she began to like these Jews. Especially the little girl, Rachel. Then Korinna and her family find out that they need to move to a hiding place because people had found out about the Jews. Now they have to go into hiding. I liked this book because it taught me what life was really like during World War II; hard and tiring.
