Into the Forest: A Holocaust Story of Survival, Triumph, and Love

(Audiobook)

By Rebecca Frankel

This is a true story of a Jewish family who lived in a small town in Poland before World War II.  When the Nazis came and started killing people, the family of four, Morris and Miriam Rabinowitz and their two small daughters, Rachel and Tania, were ushered into a ghetto created for the Jews.  Conditions were harsh and the Nazis began killing members of the Jewish community. 

At one point, the small family of four fled into a nearby forest, which was the largest primeval forest in the world.  Along with other Jewish men, women and children, they survived several years in the forest, eluding Nazi soldiers and surviving bitter winters. 

The family of four survived the war and make their way first to Italy on their way to Israel, but instead end up in America.  This is a fascinating saga, which gives insight into the brutality of World War II and the Nazis on Jewish people in Eastern Europe.  Highly recommended!
