I have heard good things about The Book Theif - the hold list at my library is like a million people long though, so I haven't read it yet. Let me know how it is once you get your hands on it!

Wow, that book sounds very cool. Like I need *another* book to add to my to-read list. But I've always been drawn to stories that take place during that time period, too.
