Directed towards middle-school-aged children, "My Survival: A Girl on Schindler's List" gives the reader not only information and insight into the heroic acts by Oskar and Emilie Schindler in effort to save 1,200 Jews from death at the hands of the Nazi's, but also words of hope and the importance to bear witness to the atrocities of the Holocaust. Rena Finder ends her memoir with a simple plea to the world: to be an upstander, not a bystander, and to protect the innocent.

Een mooi geschreven verhaal over een Joods meisje in de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Verschillende kampen, ghetto's, en toen Oscar Schindler. Ik vond het erg interessant om te lezen!

My Survival: A Girl on Schindler's List is one of the best historical fiction books I have ever read. This book is about a girl named Rena Ferber (at the time), who was born in 1929. In 1939, when the Nazis invaded Krakow, Poland, Rena and her mother, Rosa, found themselves on Schindler's List. This book is not only about the horrors of the Holocaust, but about how one man's kindness saved 1,200 Jews.

There is just something so interesting to me about the Holocaust. This book was very well written and definitely worth the read. My favorite line in the book was when her mom told her... In life, not everybody is going to like you, and you’re not going to like everyone, either. But that’s no reason to hate them.
