"We Must Not Think of Ourselves" by Lauren Grodstein takes inspiration from real acts of bravery within the Warsaw Ghetto during World War II, where determined individuals found ways to create and protect archives so their stories wouldn't be lost. Adam, one of the captives in the ghetto, agrees to join the archivists' project, interviewing others in the ghetto and recording their stories. Even as he falls in love with his flatmate Sala, Adam thinks he may have found a way out of the ghetto — but now he must decide what he's willing to leave behind to get his own freedom.
