Friedel and Gina by Jeremy Dronfield
(Quill Tree Books)
March 10, 2026
A HISTORIAN, author, and former archeologist, Jeremy Dronfield has a reputation for blending technical accuracy with compelling and emotional stories. In an earlier book, The Boy Who Followed His Father into Auschwitz, Dronfield demonstrated his knack for telling real, hard, stories of surviving the Shoah for young-adult readers. This new work follows twin sisters whose childhood in Germany collapses with the rise of Nazism. At only fourteen years old, the sisters are forced to cope with deportation, ghettos, and concentration camps all by themselves. Sophia Hershfield
