Summary of Rena Kornreich Gelissen & Heather Dune Macadam's Rena's Promise

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I was about to meet one of the few survivors from the first transport of women to Auschwitz, a woman who had kept her story to herself for nearly 50 years. I was nervous about the task at hand.

#2 I met with Rena, and within thirty minutes, I knew I would do whatever I could to help her. She had accepted me into her heart, for the rest of her life.

#3 I had planned to transcribe the interview tapes and write the story. But I soon realized that Rena’s story did not fit into a linear format. It was richly and profusely associative.

#4 I wanted to understand how Rena was able to survive the Holocaust, and I wanted to place her memories into a historical context. I found that the Nazi records supported her account with uncanny accuracy, but that they did not include the remarkable acts of humanity that she experienced.
