Library Tales Publishing Announces the Re-Launch of The Vanishing — A Haunting Tale of Holocaust-Era Revenge

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New York, NY – May 19, 2025 – The Vanishing: A Holocaust Revenge Story is the fiercely imaginative and emotionally resonant re-launched novel published by Library Tales Publishing and distributed globally by Simon & Schuster.

Officially released on September 29, 2022, this genre-defying historical fantasy transports readers to Nazi Germany through the eyes of an invisible girl driven by love, vengeance, and hope. (ISBN-13: 9798894410210 | Paperback | $17.99 USD / $23.99 CDN)

Set against the dark and turbulent backdrop of World War II, The Vanishing weaves a breathtaking blend of history, fiction, and magical realism. When a young Jewish girl mysteriously becomes invisible, she embarks on a perilous and unforgettable mission to rescue her best friend from the horrors of the Holocaust. Her journey becomes one of justice, courage, and the enduring power of memory.

A Gripping and Unforgettable Blend of History and Fantasy

The Vanishing defies genre conventions — both fierce and loving, devastating and uplifting — drawing readers into a world where imagination becomes resistance and invisibility is both a gift and a curse. It explores identity, sacrifice, and the supernatural amid one of humanity's darkest chapters.

"I guess my most ardent wish for the book is that it will attract readers who might otherwise never pick up a book about this topic and maybe set them on the path to learning what happened not so long ago — especially because it appears it may happen again sooner than later."

What the Critics Are Saying

"Took my breath away and held it until the very last page." — Felice Cohen, author of What Papa Told Me
