In an effort to teach children about the Holocaust, Ruth Minsky Sender describes the impact of this horrifying event on her life and the lives of other survivors. She immigrated to America with her husband and young children in 1950, and even though she was not granted citizenship until 1952, she still participated in the democratic process of a senatorial election by passing out pamphlets and encouraging those around her to not take their freedom to choose their leaders for granted. Still, she is permanently changed by her experience—plagued by nightmares and painful reminders even in everyday moments, such as her children asking about their grandparents or having to show her identification papers when visiting Canada. This moving volume lays bare the unique pain of survivors in a way that “affectingly and courageously bridges the vast abyss between adult knowledge of the Holocaust and youthful need and desire to learn about this crucial subject” ( Publishers Weekly ).","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781481496995","publication_date":"20161122","publisher":"Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers","slug":"the-holocaust-lady","subtitle":"Kindle Edition","title":"The Holocaust Lady"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"YAN025090","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Holocaust History for Teens","score":0.8379,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JNF025090","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Holocaust for Kids","score":0.8227,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"YAN047080","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Judaism for Teens","score":0.8061,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"YAN025090","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Holocaust History for Teens","score":0.8379,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JNF025090","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Holocaust for Kids","score":0.8227,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"YAN047080","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Judaism for Teens","score":0.8061,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"YAN006020","confidence_band":"high","label":"Cultural Heritage Lives","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"YAN025090","confidence_band":"high","label":"Holocaust History for Teens","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"YAN049000","confidence_band":"high","label":"School & Education for Teens","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Holocaust History for Teens","score":0.8379,"slug":"holocaust-history-for-teens"},{"label":"Holocaust for Kids","score":0.8227,"slug":"holocaust-for-kids"},{"label":"Judaism for Teens","score":0.8061,"slug":"judaism-for-teens"}],"reader_fit":["For children learning about the Holocaust","For readers interested in a survivor’s life after immigrating to America"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Livia Bitton-Jackson"],"book_id":"9780689848988","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780689848988.jpg?v=85cbc018a1c8160e","score":0.7773,"title":"My Bridges of Hope","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780689848988"},{"authors":["Edith Eva Eger"],"book_id":"9781665952552","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781665952552.jpg?v=02194f47f8fb06a2","score":0.7763,"title":"The Ballerina of Auschwitz","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781665952552"},{"authors":["Tova Friedman"],"book_id":"9780063381568","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780063381568.jpg?v=f55d80a03a9d773c","score":0.7675,"title":"The Daughter of Auschwitz","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780063381568"},{"authors":["Peter Novick"],"book_id":"9780547349619","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780547349619.jpg?v=965cef9e106dde2b","score":0.7638,"title":"The Holocaust in American Life","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780547349619"},{"authors":["Eva Mozes Kor","Lisa Rojany Buccieri"],"book_id":"9781939100450","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781939100450.jpg?v=1883c124facca3f9","score":0.7556,"title":"Surviving the Angel of Death","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781939100450"},{"authors":["Livia Bitton-Jackson"],"book_id":"9780689823954","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780689823954.jpg?v=40b53e9732e58a5a","score":0.7554,"title":"I Have Lived a Thousand Years","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780689823954"},{"authors":["Isabella Leitner"],"book_id":"9781504078979","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781504078979.jpg?v=02f2764e0aab71c4","score":0.754,"title":"The Big Lie","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781504078979"},{"authors":["Anthony S.
