Destined to Live

I read a children's book recently that my son's fifth grade class read. It is the true story of a survivor of the Holocaust, Ruth Gruener, Destined to Live. Ruth was a young girl in Poland when the Germans invaded. The story is written from a child's perspective and written for children. It follows Ruth's story as she survives years of hiding in Poland until she is able to emigrate to the United States. It is an important story and I believe anyone who reads it will appreciate it.
