Moderate: Sexual assault, Violence, Alcohol, Antisemitism, War, Addiction, Religious bigotry, Bullying, Grief, Vomit, and Death of parent

It's heavy and chilling but for the historical context and central mystery, each plot point and moment of discomfort is earned

 Brutal and disturbing, and delightfully fast-paced. I found Sarah to be ruthless and clever, and her reactions to everything that happened to her wholly human. A teenager forced to adapt to horrible situations, but in heartbreaking moments, still just a kid.

Expected warnings for antisemitism, violence, and fascism, but HUGE tw for child abuse and attempted (but unsuccessful) and referenced CSA.
