The Girl Who Survived Auschwitz: A Remarkable and Compelling Memoir of Love, Loss, and Hope During World War II Poland, 1944 - The train slowed to a halt with a squeal of brakes, and the passengers waited in the carriage for what felt like an eternity. For Sara Leibovits, a 16-year-old Jewish girl, this moment marked the beginning of a harrowing journey that would change the course of her life forever. Along with her family, they were ushered out of the train and onto the platform at Auschwitz, where they were quickly separated and sent in different directions. In the chaos of the camp, Sara's mother and baby brothers were taken away, never to be seen again. Her father was selected to work in the Sonderkommando, the group of men forced to remove the bodies from the gas chambers, and he too would meet a tragic end. This powerful true story follows Sara's journey through the Death Camp, where she faced unimaginable hardships and horrors, yet always managed to maintain the values of courage, faith, and kindness that her family instilled in her. As the years passed, Sara's daughter Eti, born seventy years later, became the voice of the second generation, completing the tale of Holocaust survivors.
