Grandmother’s Holocaust Survival Story of Love and Strength
Holocaust
Survivor True Stories WWII Book 3
by
Adena Bernstein Astrowsky
Genre:
Biography, Memoir 

This
is the story of one remarkable young woman’s unimaginable journey
through the rise of the Nazi regime, the Second World War, and the
aftermath. Mania Lichtenstein’s dramatic story of survival is
narrated by her granddaughter and her memories are interwoven with
beautiful passages of poetry and personal reflection. Holocaust
survivor Mania Lichtenstein used writing as a medium to deal with the
traumatic effects of the war.



Many
Jews did not die in concentration camps, but were murdered in their
lifelong communities, slaughtered by mass killing units, and then
buried in pits. As a young girl, Mania witnessed the horrors while
doing everything within her power to subsist. She lived in
Włodzimierz, north of Lvov (Ukraine), was interned for three years
in the labor camp nearby, managed to escape and hid in the forests
until the end of the war.

Although
she was the sole survivor of her family, Mania went on to rebuild a
new life in the United States, with a new language and new customs,
always carrying with her the losses of her family and her
memories.

Seventy-five
years after liberation, we are still witnessing acts of cruelty born
out of hatred and discrimination. Living among the Dead reminds us of
the beautiful communities that existed before WWII, the lives lost
and those that lived on, and the importance to never forget these
stories so that history does not repeat itself.
