The horrors of war can mark the world for generations. The stories can be heartbreaking, even when they’re simply a work of historical fiction. And, in our latest KELOLAND Living Book Club pick, a girl living in Nazi Germany in 1939 has her life changed forever by the events of World War II.

To unpack that story, we were joined by Lucy Stieger, a librarian with Siouxland Libraries. She joined us to discuss our September book, “The Book Thief,” and introduce us to the next book club pick.
