So I'm pretty sure I read this book before 2001. Here what I remember. It started with siblings and the brother could not sleep so his sister would read to him. It was his favorite story about this mirror that when you looked into you would see everything distorted. So everything that was ugly would get uglier. So the mirror owner wanted to take the mirror to heaven so they angels would see themselves as ugly and horrible. As is got higher and higher the mirror got heaver and heaver till its dropped and the shards got everywhere. When they got in peoples eyes and hearts and affected how people saw and acted. it go into the heart of the main charter(in the story in the story. I'm pretty sure that story is The Snow Queen)

(view spoiler)[what I remember about the actual story is they get sent to a concentration camp. When there about to be liberated the sister dies. After all the horror he witness when a solider asks if he is a Jew he lies and says he not. I also remember he bonded with the people who rescued him. He did not have much of a appetite so they put chocolate under his food to encourage him to eat. The first time they did that the chocolate melted and next time they left the wrapper on. I think he get put in some kind of group home.(but not sure.) At the end he reveals that he is Jewish at a synagogue I think and lives with they boy he made friends with at the group home but again not sure. (hide spoiler)]

I also remember this was a fairly short story around 100 pages.
