Book Out of My Past
A book from my past is The Devil's Arithmetic, by Jane Yolen. I read this book when I was in the 8th grade my english teacher had assigned us to read the book then, after we were done reading the book we were going to watch the movie. The book was about a young girl from a Jewish family, her and her family are to attend a passover seder at her grandparents house. During the seder she was magically transported to Poland in 1942, after she had transported she inhabits the life of  Chaya Abramowicz. She experienced the horrors of the Holocaust. When she gets back home she later finds out that the life she had inhabited was a relative from the past.
