The Daughter of Auschwitz: The Girl Who Lived to Tell Her Story
21.6
At the tender age of four, Tola Grossman was sent to a Nazi labor camp. As World War II was breaking out around them, all that Tola and her parents had was the primal instinct to survive at all costs. Tola’s life became a series of miraculous close calls, from being saved from a gas chamber to successfully hiding from the Nazis as they were rounding people up for the Death March to Germany.
In this powerful account of a young girl’s survival that has been appropriately adapted for young readers, Tova Friedman chronicles the atrocities she witnessed while at Auschwitz, and ultimately, the sources of hope and courage she and her family found to persist against all odds.
