Synopsis From the German invasion of Poland in 1939 to the liberation of her concentration camp in 1945, the author chronicles an adolescence shaped by the horrors of the Holocaust but strengthened by the force of her own will. Synopsis Beginning with the German invasion of Poland in 1939, this is the gripping true story of Riva Minsky's Holocaust experience. Often painful but impossible to put down, her story is a testament to human faith and fortitude. Author Feedback The author, Ruth Minsky Sender (RSender@aol.com) July 28, 1998," I am very touched and pleased that The Cage has such a strong impact. We must learn what hate, prejudice and indifference lead to. We must learn from the past to have a future. Many of my family members, many of my friends perished beacause of hate, prejudice, indifference. I hope thay will not just be statistics. They had names, they had dreams, they had hopes. Mama left a legacy that helped me hold on to life when it was easier to give up." |
