An Indiana woman who survived nine months at a Nazi concentration camp has written a new book for teenagers about her childhood experience.
The book opens with a description of 10-year-old Eva Kor's arrival at the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1944 with other Jewish prisoners. Kor tells of how she held her twin sister's hand as a guard tore them away from their parents and other sisters, whom they never saw again.
Kor says she worked with children's author Lisa Rojany Buccieri on the 140-page book titled "Surviving the Angel of Death." Kor founded the CANDLES Holocaust Museum in Terre Haute and has previously written about her time at Auschwitz.
The new book includes pictures of Kor's family, the concentration camp and her life after the Holocaust.
