About this listen

Rosie was always told her red hair was a curse, but she never believed it. She often dreamed what it would look like under a white veil with the man of her dreams by her side. However, her life takes a harrowing turn in 1944 when she is forced out of her home and sent to the most gruesome of places: Auschwitz.

Upon arrival, Rosie’s head is shaved and along with the loss of her beautiful hair, she loses the life she once cherished. Among the chaos and surrounded by hopelessness, Rosie realizes the only thing the Nazis cannot take away from her is the fierce redhead resilience in her spirit. When all of her friends conclude they are going to heaven from Auschwitz, she remains determined to get home. She summons all of her courage, through death camps and death marches to do just that.

This victorious biography, written by Nechama Birnbaum in honor of her grandmother, is as full of life as it is of death. It is about the intricacies of Jewish culture that still exist today and the tender experiences that are universal to all humanity. It is a story about what happens when we choose hate over love.

Every survivors story I listen to reminds me to listen with my mind and my heart and pass along to who ever will listen/read and then do the same.
Holocaust survivors may not realize it be they are the strongest of people as are those that did not survive. Their horrors no one should ever have to endure. I will never forget nor will I let my children, grandchildren and on.

Always pass their stories along for generations

I read these stories, so that I can remember the beauty in life, that is worth living. I want to make sure that all that these people went through, will not be forgotten or mocked. Thank you for writing this book and for passing down our history.
