Surviving

Wise, Blanka and Kamler Levine, Barbara

$10.00

It took years to unlock Blanka’s story because she spent so many years trying to forget.

As a young girl during the war, she survived outside the concentration camps by passing as non-Jewish. Blanka had never spoken about her experiences until she agreed to talk with Barbara, who recorded and then wrote her story in her own words.

Blanka survived because her parents insisted on it. “Somebody has to survive,” they told her, “somebody has to tell the story.”

Surviving is dedicated to the memory of Blanka’s parents and to their grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren, who thrive in Australia because of Blanka’s courage and determination.
