Survivor Research

Next week we will start a Holocaust Survivor project.  If you'd like to start researching some survivors, by all means, get started.  It'll help you get going more quickly on the project.  Here are some places to start.  You'll need a pretty good length of text.  Too short and you'll have trouble including details, too long and you'll have a hard time figuring out what to cut.

Start here:

If you're up for a challenge, I've read the following survivor experiences in the past few days.  They can be found in the library most likely:
The Seamstress (Sara Tuvel Bernstein)
Clara's War (Clara Kramer)
The Girl in the Green Sweater (Krystyna Chiger)
Heroes of the Holocaust: True Stories of Rescues by Teens (Allan Zullo)

These I've read in the past: 
Prisoner B-3087 (Alan Gratz)
Four Perfect Pebbles (Lila Perl)
I Have Lived a Thousand Years: Growing up in the Holocaust (Livia Bitton-Jackson)
