Popular Answered Questions

I just got to know about your book - The Remnants - from Giveaway section of Goodreads and it surely looks interesting. I want to ask - who or what was the inspiration behind the book? Also, what other books on Holocaust would you recommend to your readers?

Anna Scanlon Oh wow. I can't believe I missed this! I am so sorry!

The inspiration behind the book was reading about the Lebensborn program, which is not very well…moreOh wow. I can't believe I missed this! I am so sorry!

The inspiration behind the book was reading about the Lebensborn program, which is not very well known. If you weren't aware, the program happened during WWII when almost 200,000 Czech and Polish children were kidnapped and taken to be "Germanized." It just caught me off guard to think about how weird the world would be if the Nazis had won.

And as far as Holocaust books...man, that's a toughie as there are SO MANY good ones. Off the top of my head: Night by Elie Wiesel, Auschwitz and After by Charlotte Delbo, Milkweed by Jerry Spinelli, Annexed by Sharon Dogar, Kitty Hart's novel, Lilac Girls, If/Then/Now series. (less)

Quotes by Anna Scanlon (?)

“But children aren't stupid. They can almost smell fear on their parents' breath and see it oozing through their pores. No matter how calm and rational a father acts, his offspring can see the trembling child inside of him, shaking with the knowledge that he might not be able to protect his family from what was coming.”
― Anna Scanlon, Unravelled: A Holocaust Journey from Hungary to Auschwitz-Birkenau to San Francisco
