Product description...

SURVIVAL

The story of a 15-year old non-Jewish girl living in the Jewish community of Kiev, Russia because her father refused to join the Communist Party. A story of survival of Stalin’s starvation of his own people, rounded up with the Jewish community and spent nearly a year at Auschwitz. Rescued by a German and trained to be a nurse for Germany, she chose the front lines of battle and at war’s end learned enough English to choose to go to United States to a place called Portland, Oregon, where she had been told by an American doctor it didn’t snow much or get very cold. If you read this, expect to be angry, to experience disbelief, to cry and to laugh.

Author Information...

Glenda M. French, MSWBorn and raised in East Tennessee in the foothills of the beautiful Great Smoky Mountains, she eventually settled in Portland, Oregon. She and her husband raised three daughters while she returned to college, earning a Master’s in Social Work with a practice in psychotherapy. “I had heard survival stories, but never such as this set in historical times I knew little about except in books. Though I had once published in a professional journal that received international inquiries for reprint, I never considered writing a book…until I heard this amazing story of starvation, wars and of miraculous survival.”
