The astonishing true story of a girl who survived
the Holocaust thanks to Oskar Schindler, of Schindler's List
fame.
Rena Finder was only eleven when the Nazis forced her and her
family - along with all the other Jewish families - into
the ghetto in Krakow, Poland. Rena worked as a slave laborer
with scarcely any food and watched as friends and family were sent
away.
Then Rena and her mother ended up working for Oskar Schindler,
a German businessman who employed Jewish prisoners in his factory
and kept them fed and healthy. But Rena's nightmares were not over.
She and her mother were deported to the concentration camp Auschwitz.
With great cunning, it was Schindler who set out to help
them escape.
Here in her own words is Rena's gripping story of survival,
perseverance, tragedy and hope.
Including pictures
from Rena's personal collection and from the time period, this
unforgettable memoir introduces young readers to an astounding and
necessary piece of history.
