browngirlDeals with the Holocaust, anti-Semitism, and romance novels.
A writer named Kate Breslin wrote a romance novel about the director of a concentration camp in WWII and a Jewish prisoner interned therein, where the Jewish woman converts to Christianity, and is blocking Jewish people who try to discuss this with her on Twitter She has the full support of the Romance Writers of America and the book has been receiving kudos and awards nominations.
Normally I would reblog Bibliogato's posts about this on Tumblr where I found them, but I can't bear to reread them. It makes me feel so ill that Ms. Breslin thought this was a good idea and how many people support her in this.
So I've put links here, because I had to signal boost this somehow. If this book is receiving so many accolades the criticism of it should be heard as well.
