Decorative front cover Cover has slight wear and soiling. Inscribed by the author (Quint) inside the front cover. Inscription reads To the Herron Family Best wishes for a wonderful life Rena Quint. Rena Quint was born as Freida "Freidel" Lichtenstein in December 1935 in the city of Piotrkow, Poland. In 1939, the Nazis occupied her hometown. In October 1942, her mother and her two older brothers were deported to Treblinka where they were murdered. Rena, who was not yet seven years old, was deported with her father to a concentration camp, where she pretended to be a boy in order to survive. When Rena's father was murdered, she was left alone in the camp. She was sent to Bergen Belsen. In the various camps she was adopted by different women, but they all died. At the end of the war, Rena went to Sweden, where she was adopted by a Holocaust survivor who passed away a few months later. In 1946, Rena emigrated to the United States with an adoptive mother, also a Holocaust survivor, who after three months also passed away. Rena was then adopted by a Jewish couple who didn't have children. Rena earned her bachelor's and master's degrees in education and worked as a teacher in schools and, as a lecturer at Adelphi University in New York and at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. In 1984, Rena and her husband emigrated to Israel with their four children who were already married. Rena has been volunteering for more than 30 years at Yad Vashem. Barbara Sofer is a prize-winning journalist and author who lives in Jerusalem and who lectures frequently to Jewish and general audiences. A Daughter of Many Mothers is the story of Rena Quint, a Holocaust survivor. Left alone as a small child after her parents and brothers were murdered by the Nazis, one good woman after another took care of her despite the danger. She was found still alive among the piles of dead in Bergen-Belsen. Still another mother took her to the United States, but that mother died soon after they arrived. Rena's story defies the myth of the loss of humanity in the concentration camps. There are two of me, she says. "One person is Rena Quint in 2018 an international speaker, an American who does The New York Times crossword puzzle, and an Israeli citizen in an elegant home with a loving husband and large family. I frequently attend philharmonic concerts and cook gourmet dinners for friends and dignitaries. And then there is the other person, little Fredzia Lichtenstein, born in 1935 in Piotrkow, Poland, a little girl whose entire family is murdered in Holocaust. She is a child who survives in a country of cold, ice, snow, and pain -- a motherless girl, frightened all the time, with no coat or shoes, no home, no food, no family. In April 1945, when I am nine-years-old and imprisoned in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, there is no food or water for three days. To survive, we drink from puddles, where every kind of scum and pollution is floating. We drink that filthy water, anything to quench our thirst, until we are liberated by the British. How could I have survived the Holocaust? How could anyone have survived? To this day, Rena Quint continues to give testimony in Israel, the United States, and South Africa. This book explores not only her personal experience, but addresses the social and psychological effects on many of the remaining survivors of those horrific years.
