One of the locations in "If I should Die Before I Wake" by Han Nolan is a Jewish Hospital in Poland during the Holocaust. This is where 16-year-old Neo-nazi Hilary is in recovery from a serious motorcycle accident caused by her boyfriend Brad.

In the hospital, she is forced to experience the horrors Chana experiences as a Holocaust victim.

Nothing beats your hometown diner! (especially in a small town).
