Rena's Promise: A Story of Sisters in Auschwitz

Each day became a struggle to fulfill the promise Rena made to her mother when the family was forced to split apart--a promise to take care of her sister. One of the few Holocaust memoirs about the lives of women in the camps,Rena's Promiseis a compelling story of the fleeting human connections that fostered determination and made survival a possibility. From the bonds between mothers, daughters, and sisters, to the links between prisoners, and even prisoners and guards,Rena's Promisereminds us of the humanity and hope that survives inordinate inhumanity.
