Esther Katz was a Jewish teenage girl in Czechoslovakia when the Nazis invaded and forced all Jewish families into cattle cars to transport to Auschwitz concentration camp. Young Esther watched her grandmother suffocate to death on the cattle car and was separated from her father and brother when the family arrived at Auschwitz. Esther and her mother were fortunate, to be able to stay together. Her father and brother were not so fortunate and they perished at Auschwitz. Against all odds, Esther and her mother survive this most frightening and horrible period of history. After the Allies won the war, her mother died of typhus, but she died free - liberated from the concentration camp. Esther's is a true story of bravery and miraculous survival. Author and illustrator Megan Svoboda does a wonderful job telling Esther's story for children of all ages. She wrote and illustrated this book with the intent of keeping Esther Katz's true story alive for generations to come.
