“Heartrending...An important piece of Holocaust literature” –Chicago Tribune



“These intensely moving stories are a remarkable gift of insight into the Holocaust years and its implications for all of us.”

–The Horn Book



“Oral history becomes an art form...A compelling one-sitting read.” –Forward Magazine



“The black and white photographs throughout are a testament to the people who became numbers during the War.”

—School and Library Journal



SURVIVING AUSCHWITZ tells the moving and inspirational story of three young girls who survived Auschwitz - Adolph Hitler's most notorious death camp. Using their own words, combined with dramatic photographs, Tova Friedman, Freida Tenenbaum and Rachel Hyams document their story in SURVIVING AUSCHWITZ. They describe their lives before the war in the small town of Tomaszow Mazowiecki in central Poland, their arrival at the camp, and their eventual liberation by the Soviet Army in January, l945. SURVIVING AUSCHWITZ is a haunting first person memoir of these three girls - a story filled with horror and unspeakable tragedy - but also one of remarkable courage and hope. In 2005 the book was published as a companion book to a PBS documentary of the same name, which Nieuwsma wrote and co-produced. Released in 2005, the film received an Emmy Award from the Michigan chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for best historical documentary. The film also won a First Place Gold Camera Award at the International Film and Video Festival in Los Angeles. Nieuwsma won a second Emmy in 2006 for writing and co-producing “Defying Hitler,” a documentary about a Jewish fighter in the Polish Resistance.



Milton Nieuwsma is a two-time Emmy Award-winning documentary writer and producer and the author of Kinderlager, an account of three young concentration camp survivors which has been acclaimed as one of the top 10 books written on the Holocaust. Milt is a freelance writer and journalist who has traveled around the world covering stories for the Chicago Tribune, The Los Angeles Times, and other major newspapers. He has also taught writing and journalism at several universities. He lives in Holland, Michigan with his family. At the age of 5, he met Corrie ten Boom, a Dutch-born concentration camp survivor and author of The Hiding Place whose family had hidden Jews in their Netherlands home during the War. Ten Boom was a guest at the Nieuwsma parsonage in Bellflower. In a 2001 interview, Nieuwsma recalled “sitting on lap...listening to her talk and wondering to myself, 'who is this woman?' She reminded me of my grandmother.” Ten Boom inspired him to learn more about the Holocaust. Since 1997 Nieuwsma has lived in Holland, Mich., where he continues to write. In 2001 he co-founded the Amicus Group, a consulting firm. He and his wife, Marilee, have three children, Jonathan, Greg and Elizabeth, and two grandchildren.
