The Girl Who Survived

by Bronia Brandman and Carol Bierman Author

When the Germans occupied Poland in World War II, they forced Jews into overcrowded ghettoes. To help her family survive the horrific conditions that followed, eleven-year-old Bronia risked her life, smuggling goods to trade for food. Then came the terrible day that Bronia and her sisters were sent to the Auschwitz II-Birkenau concentration camp, where most inmates were killed. But through courage, luck, and the kindness of a stranger, Bronia lived to tell her amazing life story. Young readers will never forget this incredible true story of one of the youngest survivors of Auschwitz, fully illustrated with stirring black-and-white archival photos.
