The Little Liar

Book • 2023
The Little Liar by Mitch Albom is a novel that explores the human repercussions of deception during the Holocaust.

The story centers around Nico Krispis, an eleven-year-old boy from Salonika, Greece, who has never told a lie.

When the Nazis invade, a German officer tricks Nico into persuading his fellow Jewish residents to board trains supposedly heading to new jobs and safety.

Unaware of the true destination, Nico reassures passengers until he discovers the horrific truth on the final train.

The novel follows Nico, his older brother Sebastian, the girl Fannie who loves both brothers, and the Nazi officer Udo Graf, as their lives are forever changed by the lies and consequences that unfold over the next 40 years.

The book delves into themes of truth, forgiveness, and the long-lasting impacts of deception.
