Two Who Survived book

The compelling Holocaust memoir of Rose and Max Schindler

Two Who Survived chronicles the true story of two children from different worlds: a city boy and a country girl. When the persecution of Jews began in the late 1930s, both were plucked from their homes and thrust into concentration camps. They were stripped of everything and forced to navigate a truly incomprehensible, volatile, dangerous and unpredictable world. Despite their exposure to the horrors of the Holocaust, they endured and carried on with a determination that shaped them forever.

Follow the lives of Max and Rose as they learned to adapt to a reality beyond belief and emerged stronger than ever. When they were finally liberated from their concentration camps, they navigated a new world individually before finding each other to form what each so tragically lost: a family.
