Title: A testament to the resilience of teenagers
Product review: As a high school drama teacher, I am always looking for edgy material that is age appropriate and can speak to my students. After reading the play adaptation of The Survivor (adapted by Susan Nanus) I was intrigued to read more. What the play covers (mainly the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising) is only a tenth of what this book manages to convey. I was entranced by the resilience of a teenager to cope through horrific times with great strength, intelligence, and courage. It reminded me of what my students are capable of when put to the test (very minor test compared to those of Jack Eisner). My students embraced this piece of literature both in the play format and the memoir. I can highly recommend both for anyone who is wanting to test their students to see of what they are truly made. It may surprise you how much more mature our teenagers are when dealing with important subject matter.
