Looking for the title of a book about a jewish woman during haulicaust who is shot in the head, but survives?

Question

All I remember about the story is that it's a true account and the woman was one of many that was shot along the edge of a mass grave. The bullett goes into her head,but out and she passes out and three days later wakes up in this mass grave. It's a story about her survival. I heard about it when I was in junior high and I really want to find the book - it sounds so interesting.

Answer 1

I thought at first you were talking about "Eleni", but that was Greece and she did not survive. You'd have to research Holocaust literature for young adults, no doubt.

The site below gives not only some Holocaust titles, but reference books that would help your search. Your public or college library would be able to help you get those books. Or check with a local synagogue. They'd be glad to help.

I hope you find it...you will find much in the search.
