This has a number of similarities to the "Diary of Anne Frank". Both were written by Jewish girls in the Netherlands who went into hiding during the Holocaust. Upstairs Room is a retrospective story, written by the author much later in life. This it can expected to be much more influenced by later events. The author also survived the experience, She was able to live with caring families outside of the city. It remains scary that modern culture can carry off such atrocities towards certain groups.
