About Rose:
At 14 years old, Rose Schindler was stuffed in a cattle car full of other Jews. She traveled several days without water, food, or access to a toilet. She was brought to Aushwitz, the Nazi concentration and extermination camp. During the war, she lost her mother and her four younger siblings. Her older brother was sent to a slave labor camp. After a brief reunification with her father in Aushwitz, she never saw him again. During this brief interaction, her father told Rose to “… survive and tell the world what they’re doing to us.”
Rose’s memoir, “Two Who Survived: Keeping Hope Alive While Surviving the Holocaust”, was published in 2019. The book follows Max and Rose from childhood, through the their incomprehensible experiences in concentration camps, and then navigating a new world and forming what both had lost, a family.
Rose knows that as a child-survivor, she is among the few capable of sharing a first-hand account of the Holocaust, and she remains determined to continue to share her story and give others the incomparable opportunity to meet a survivor
