A Girl on Schindler's List event image

Join the Haddonfield, NJ library for a discussion with Rena Finder and Joshua M. Greene, authors of Rena’s middle-grade memoir “My Survival: A Girl on Schindler’s List.”

This event is appropriate for teens, tweens, and adults.

Rena Finder was only eleven when the Nazis forced her and her family — along with all the other Jewish families — into the ghetto in Krakow, Poland. Rena worked as a slave laborer with scarcely any food and watched as friends and family were sent away. Then Rena and her mother ended up working for Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who employed Jewish prisoners in his factory and kept them fed and healthy. But Rena’s nightmares were not over. She and her mother were deported to the concentration camp Auschwitz. With great cunning, it was Schindler who set out to help them escape.
