Scene from the movie Schindler’s List
This quote is from a news article which you can read in full here:
Rena Finder, the youngest and last Holocaust survivor from Schindler’s list, shared these sentiments with me during an interview last year. Rena, at 10 years old, became an enemy of the state because she was Jewish. Alongside her mother, naked, bleeding and filled with terror, Rena was marched into what they were told was the gas chamber. The door was locked and the lights went out as the women screamed in horror waiting for the gas. She would die for the crime of being Jewish.
Unfortunately, the news article does not tell us how Rena was saved. Was she actually in a shower room, as was shown in the movie Shindler’s List?
Rena was 10 years old. Children under the age of 15 were gassed at Auschwitz. Why wasn’t she gassed? Why was she bleeding? Sadly, the news article doesn’t tell us.
