If you love historical fiction, appreciate music and care about what happened to the Jewish people (God's people of Zion), just prior, during, and post WW II, The Zion Covenant and The Zion Chronicles series, by Bodie Thoene, are the books for you! They are chilling, revealing, nail-biting, and at times, gladdening; a hodgepodge of strong emotions gripping you from start to finish.
The Zion Covenant is a series of six books while The Zion Chronicles, is a series of five tomes. Thoene (along with her helping husband Brock) does stick very closely to actual, historical happenings written from a perspective, mostly of a reporter and of a Jewess. As these are fictional in nature, as well as, historical, expect some salt and pepper to be added. However, you will be able to live in the various characters' shoes on this rollercoaster of heart-rending, living nightmares that have been perpetuated by men of tyranny, fed by their hatred of the Jews. I just hope you have a sturdy heart to "live" through it with them as you read along.
