I highly recommend "All But My Life" by Gerda Weissman Klein. I just finished
this beautiful memoir, and was thorougly moved by it. This woman spent most
of the war as a slave worker, and then survived a death march. She received
the Presidential medal of Freedom in 2010.

Leah,
The book I Choose Life: Two Linked Stories of Holocaust
Survival and Rebirth by Goldie
Finkelstein and her husband Sol Finkelstein edited by Jerry L.
Jennings.
It is a story of people with great
belief in God and amazing optimism after the man’s miraculous survival of near
death situations.
The authors live in New Jersey. They talk about their life in
schools and centers within a driving distance. An interview with Mr.
Finkelstein and his son is available on the website of the Holocaust Museum in
Washington DC. The paperback edition I s available on AMAZON for
$16.
Please feel free to call me if you have further
questions.

Subject: [ha-Safran] holocaust book
suggestion
I
am looking for a needle in a haystack and thought you might help:
I'm searching for a holocaust novel or memoir appropriate for an English
class in a Bais Yaakov high school. It must be age appropriate regarding
reading
level (9th to 11th grades), appropriate for a religious girls' school, and well
written for an English classroom.
I've done research and so far have only come up with books that are for a
younger, more middle school, audience.
Thanks!
Leah Friedman
