Someone previously asked about a book like this. Try "The Devil's Arithmetic". I read it too! Interesting concept, what with the time travel and such.

That's it! Thanks a bunch. They were really big on the Holocaust in junior high for some reason, and that book sticks with me more than anything else we watched or read.
This is a young adult book I had to read for school in 7th grade or so (about 1995). It was about a girl who went to her family's Passover Seder dinner at her Holocaust-survivor grandma's house and is being a snot. When they say the traditional prayer to Elijah, she's transported back to early-1940's Poland and put in a concentration camp. She's reliving her grandmother's exact experience from her grandmother's point of view. I'm sure this was a Newbery Award winner, as we had to read it for an English Festival or something like that.
