In “Thanks to My Mother,” 8-year-old Schoschana Rabinovici recounts her harrowing childhood experiences from the time that the German Army invades her home in Lithuania to her liberation from a concentration camp by the Russian Army at the end of World War II. It is her mother’s indomitable spirit and awe-inspiring steadfastness that rescues them both from the Holocaust’s shadow of death.
