The Upstairs Room (ISBN 006440370X), published in 1972, is a Newbery Nominated Book written by Joanna Reiss. The work is the true story of Reiss who was ten years old when the Second World War had begun. The book tells the story of two Jewish girls (Annie and her elder sister Sini) who are being hidden for two years by a family called the Oostervelds.

This book is about my life, or rather part of my life, the part that took place in Holland during the Second World War. In this book I have gone to those years, when I was a child, and Jewish, and therefore undesirable, when I had to hide from Germans. - written by the author
