Thanks to My Mother by Schoschana Rabinovici

I just finished this book about the Holocaust. It's about an eight year old girl who survived 3 different concentrations camps because of her mother. Her mother (Raja), hid her, disguised her as an adult and really pushed her into going on. It was actually quite uplifting to see the drive these people had just to live. And of course the love this mother had for her daughter. This is one of my favorite paragraphs, it's talking about one of their friends who had manages to hide her own 7 year old son for months and months in this concentration camp, and were finally discovered and taken away to be killed. The mother Niussia could have left her son Rafik and let him go alone, she would have lived...
"When everyone was being loaded into the truck the gaurd came to take Rafik, and Niussia went with her son, quietly and resolutely. Together, hand in hand, they climbed into the truck. Hans was still trying to persuade Niussia to stay; he said that her son hadn't much longer to live, anyway. But Niussia, who was already standing in the truck, said loudly and firmly, "It is worth sacrificing my whole life, so that my son can feel safe and at peace for half an hour."
