About the Author

Rachel Chencinski Roth is a Holocaust survivor who has been openly sharing her story for the last fifty years. She has spoken before many groups, of all faiths, including students from elementary school to university level.

Speaking of her experiences before small groups did not quell her intense duty to tell the world what happened to the Jews during the Holocaust. Each day before the dawn for 10 years she wrote her memoirs in Polish and published this English translation with a generous grant from Yad Vashem (The Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Authority).
