Susie Weksler was only eight when Hitler's forces invaded her Lithuanian city of Vilnius. Over the next few years, she endured starvation, brutality, and forced labor in three concentration camps. With courage and ingenuity, Susie's mother helped her to survive--by disguising her as an adult to fool the camp guards, finding food to add to their scarce rations, and giving her the will to endure. This harrowing memoir portrays the best and worst of humanity in heartbreaking scenes you will never forget. Winner of the Mildred L. Batchelder Award An ALA Notable Book An NCSS-CBC Notable Children's Trade Book in the Field of Social Studies

This book is worthy of everyone's time. It is filled with heart wrenching scenes along with human beauty. Very reminiscent of Night. The strength and tenacity of the author's mother is remarkable. Lithuania #ReadingEurope 32/50 @BarbaraBB @Librarybelle

"Here mankind discarded civilization as if it were an article of clothing and left behind every decent feeling: love; loyalty; simply everything. Here it stood naked, and exhibited its wretched soul. Here, faced with the realm of death, all the baseness and cruelty of mankind was on display."

I have to keep reminding myself: It's past understanding. I can stand and do something now when I witness discrimination. #NeverForget
