Thanks Joyce, I'll keep working on the subtitle.
If you have any suggestions, so send them my way. I'm all ears. My comment above to Teresa clarifies the central issues.

I'm sure you thought of this one and it's not flashy enough, but what about Holocaust Librarian?
Yeah, I like The Beloved Profession, but when you add the rest it doesn't sound as catchy to me.

I like: The Beloved Profession
A Story of Rescue, Redemption and Freedom
(or something like that)

Yeah, I kind of like that. The blurb on the back could include Holocaust hints.

The novel in all it unreliable glory: Shiny Red Plastic Men from Mars.
Then there's the memoir, that's more likely to be written, takes it's title from the blog that gave it birth: Penny Jar: A heads up on being at the tail end
