Mendelssohn is on the Roof by Jiri Weil

An interesting novel about occupied Czechoslovakia in World War II this book intertwined real life events alongside fictional Jewish Czechs stories.  This book is great to read alongside HHhH as Heydrich's assassination is one of the historical events which is covered in the plot. The different characters' stories are all touching and, at times, shocking which makes this book a fascinating read. The writing is good although not outstanding. An excellent read for fans of historical fiction.
