Author of “Two Who Survived”. |
: Rose Schindler, Holocaust Survivor
Rose was born in Czech (now Russia) as Roysie Schwartz, where their village had no electricity or plumbing. Her father was a tailor and she wears the chain from his pocket watch as a necklace every day.
Hungary came into her village of 1500 (600 were Jewish) and within a year everything they had was taken away and children could no longer attend school.
All men 15 yo and older were taken during the week to work in shops in other areas. Rose and her siblings and friends were bullied by other children in town because they were Jewish.
On April 11, 1944 her entire family and others were taken away and held in tents at the train station until the cattle cars came to take them to Auschwitz, a trip which took 2 days.
Rose’s life has been amazing and interesting and you can find out the history behind her story in her book or at UTube under Rose and Max Schindler, San Diego. Also explore TwoWhoSurvived.com to learn more.
