Alissa Through the Glass and Into Terezin
Author(s): David F. Eliet
Alissa Hoffmann, a 14-year-old mischling, is taken from her Aryan home and tumbled into the Lewis Carroll like world of Terezin.

By the end, she must choose between sacrificing virginity to an older man, or accepting her fate as a Jewish girl.
