In this extraordinary collection of true stories, some new to this edition, 12 Jewish men and women--all under the age of 20 at the time--recount their incredible tales of surviving the Holocaust. Covering the years 1933 to 1948 and encompassing ten countries and as many destinations, these stories of escape are more than dramatic adventure tales and are particularly moving for young people. Filled with episodes of luck, courage, endurance, and ingenuity, each first-person narrative is an authentic and moving testimony to the human struggle for life against all odds and all costs.

Dynamic, first-person stories of young teenagers,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Escape or Die : True Stories of Young People Who Survived the Holocaust (Paperback)
Accomplished storyteller Ina R. Friedman's compelling video Escape Or Die: True Stories Of Young People Who Survived The Holocaust vividly presents three powerful, dynamic, first-person stories of young teenagers who survived the Nazi Holocaust against all odds. There is Many, age 14, caught in the violence of Crystal Night and who witnesses his home and family shattered (11 minutes); Renee, age 13, orphaned by German atrocity, who attempts to hide and feed her three siblings (12 minutes); Robert, age 13, suffering from horrific deprivations and the ever present threat of the Nazi death camps, who escapes to fight in the Warsaw Ghetto uprising (21 minutes). Escape Or Die is a truly resounding testimony to human strength and enduring courage against utterly unspeakable, genocidal horrors, and offering intensely personal viewpoints to a chilling era of twentieth century history. Escape Or Die is a very highly recommended and welcome contribution to Holocaust studies collections and especially suited to young viewers ages 6 and older. Total Running Time: 44 minutes.
