What about the Diary of Anne Frank or The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom? Both are stories of the holocaust, both begin in a situation of happy ignorance and continue into awareness and a lot of sadness. Both stories have instances when people are left to wonder what has happened to a loved one and hope remains alive as long as they don't know what tragedies they went through. Even just reading these books brings many people grief at learning what we as humans can do to each other. The reaction of the student in the movie The Freedom Writers Diary illustrates this, the student comes to the teacher screaming about not wanting Anne to have died. It's powerful.
