Prisoner Number A26188: Surviving Auschwitz
The German invasion of Poland in 1939 marked the beginning of World War II and the escalation of Hitler's Nazi persecution of the Jews. It also was the beginning of one of the war's truly inspiring stories, that of a young Polish girl named Henia Bryer. In her own words, Henia tells how her family perished in concentration camps, how she survived and went on to witness to the creation of Israel.
