Until We Meet Again (Mimi's Journey #2) by Roberta Kagan

 

When the Nazis invade Paris, the peaceful world Mimi shares with her beloved grandmother Chloe—is shattered forever. In a single, brutal day, police tear through their neighborhood, ripping Jewish families from their homes and destroying lives built over generations.

As grandmother and granddaughter face the unthinkable horrors of Nazi-occupied France, an unexpected figure from Mimi's past emerges—someone who could be salvation or destruction. Nick, the childhood friend who once held her heart, now bears the swastika armband.

But beneath the Reich insignia lies a man haunted by his choices, desperate to find redemption in the darkness. From a converted department store turned prison where Mimi is forced to sort stolen treasures to the camps where innocents face unspeakable evil, love becomes the most dangerous—and powerful—force of all.

Based on true events during the Nazi occupation of Paris, this is a devastating story of impossible choices, unexpected courage, and bonds that transcend even war itself from USA Today bestselling author Roberta Kagan.

About The Author

 I am an USA Today Best Selling Author of Historical Jewish Fiction mainly set during World War 2. My father was Romany and my mother was Jewish, When I was very young I learned about the Holocaust. I couldn't understand how something like this could happen. So, I began to research and learn more. I met with survivors. I even met with children and grandchildren of SS officers. But I still had no answers. I cannot say that I have all of the answers to all of my questions even now. But what I do know is that soon all of the survivors will be gone. Their message must be remembered, the sacrifices that they made must not be forgotten. And so I humbly and with the utmost humility I try to tell their stories. It is painful, but I must convey the darkness and horror of the time, However, I also want the world to know and celebrate the unsung heroes. Because there were many ordinary people who acted in heroic ways. I realize that writing these books is a great responsibility. I pray every day that I am able to do this correctly. I am trying to reach out and touch many people, not with the message of the horrors but with the promise of hope. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering my work. It is an honor that I never take lightly.

 This is a read that grabs you, so emotional, even when we know history, and the evil that is coming.
The author gives us people we soon care about, a grandmother, a granddaughter, and friends that turn up on the other side.
Whom will survive the atrocities that through the eyes of the author we are shown. This is also a love story, especially that of Chloe and Mimi, and then Mimi and Nick.
