by Ruth Minsky Sender | Grades 6-9
The Cage by Ruth Minsky Sender is a memoir that chronicles the harrowing experiences of a young Jewish girl, Riva, during the Holocaust. The book vividly details her life in the Lodz Ghetto, her separation from her family, and her relentless struggle for survival in the Nazi concentration camps. Through Riva’s eyes, readers witness the unimaginable horrors of war, the strength of the human spirit, and the unyielding hope that sustains even in the darkest of times. This narrative not only serves as a testament to the resilience and courage of those who endured the Holocaust but also as a powerful reminder of the atrocities of history.
