Poland, 1939. Fourteen-year-old Hannah Rosenberg lives a peaceful life in Warsaw with her loving parents and younger brother, Avi. But when the Nazis invade, everything changes. Forced into the Warsaw Ghetto, Hannah’s family struggles to survive amid starvation and disease. When the ghetto is liquidated in 1943, she is separated from her mother and brother, torn from her father’s grasp, and sent to Auschwitz with her best friend, Rivka Weiss.

In the death camp, Hannah faces unthinkable horrors—brutal SS officers, starvation, and the constant shadow of death. She finds solace in fellow prisoners like Esther Goldstein, a motherly figure who helps her survive, and Isaac Levin, a boy who still dares to dream of freedom. But as time passes, she loses more and more of the people she loves.

As the war nears its end, Hannah is forced on the Death March, where survival seems impossible. But even in the darkest moments, a flicker of hope remains. With liberation approaching, Hannah must find the strength to endure, even as she faces the painful truth—survival comes with its own price.

"I Survived" is a heartbreaking and historically accurate tale of loss, resilience, and the fight to hold onto humanity in the face of unimaginable cruelty.
