On January 20, 1935 a little girl named Sylvia Perlmutter came to life in Lodz Poland. Sylvia is one of twelve Jewish children that survived the Nazis. When the World War 2 began, Sylvia was four years old. By the time the war ended, Sylvia was 10 years old. Sylvia passed away at age 75 on October 2010.
She did not go to school until she was 11. Her two best friends were named Itka and Hava, but they both got killed by the Nazis. In 1959 she married a holocaust survivor from Poland.

Sylvia was very important because she was one of twelve children that survived the Nazis. She had faith in God to save her and her family. Sylvia is very, very brave. I chose the honesty character trait for Sylvia. Sylvia was very honest when she told her…show more content… They did horrible things to the Jews. It was complete genocide.

The author is Sylvia’s niece and loved her very much. Sylvia gave the author permission to write her
