Praise for My Survival: A Girl on Schindler's List "A straightforward and accessible Holocaust survivor's memoir shows Oskar Schindler through the eyes of a young person he saved... Rena, now 90, is a Holocaust educator, and her matter-of-fact narration reflects this. She urges readers, "when you see a bully, do something. Go get help." A vital look at one complicated man's unwillingness to be complicit." -- Kirkus Reviews
