Destined to Live

Destined to Live- 960L


By: Ruth Gruener

The main character is Rachel Tcharne. She is Jewish and she lives in Poland. She was about four years old when the Holocaust started. So then Rachel’s dad Issac hid her in a closet when the Nazis broke into her home. Then Rachel had to wait a long time in a closet until the soldiers left. Then Mrs. Szczgeil is the person who hid Rachel for the entire four years of the Holocaust. The main challenge is trying to survive the Holocaust. Rachel went in hiding to save herself from the Nazis. At some points Rachel makes too much noise and then people around her hear her. They are in Poland and they are in Mrs. Szczgeil’s apartment and it is very small but useful. She is German and trying to help Rachel. This book I’d say it was ok because it got boring and then there was barely any action. The theme is if you are lucky you might survive the Holocaust.
