A Holocaust survivor shares her war experience. Eleven-year-old Rena and her family were forced into a Jewish ghetto by Nazi soldiers. She and her mother ended up working for Oskar Schindler in his factory before being sent to a concentration camp. This may not sound like content for readers in grades 3 to 7, but for some, at your discretion, the firsthand account is compelling and memorable. The language is not hard to read, but the story is. ~Sara

Description
Publisher's Description of My Survival: Girl on Schindler's List
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.
