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" -- $c Provided by publisher 600 10 $a Finder, Rena, $d 1929- $v Juvenile literature. 600 10 $a Schindler, Oskar, $d 1908-1974 $v Juvenile literature. 610 20 $a Auschwitz (Concentration camp) $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Holocaust survivors $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Rescue $x Rescue $z Poland $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Jewish children in the Holocaust $z KrakoÌw $z KrakoÌw $v Biography. 650 1 $a Women $v Biography. 651 0 $a KrakoÌw (Poland) $v Juvenile literature. $v Juvenile literature. 700 1 $a Greene, Joshua, $d 1950- $e author. 941 $a 2 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20230622010139.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230504010144.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FC0FB33AEA4011EDA3E935F65AECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
