Here's a book for you: Blaine Harden's Escape from Camp 14:One Man’s Remarkable Odyssey from North Korea to Freedom in the West. The subject is Shin Dong-hyuk (b. 1982), the only known person to have been born in a North Korean death camp and escaped.I probably love concentration camp stories as much as the average tween loves Twilight, so I think it's only been my extreme busyness lately that's prevented me from tracking this down. After reading more about the book, though, I'm a little wary -- the brutality described means I might not make it through. We'll see; it's definitely on my "to read" list for 2013.
