"She wanted humankind to eradicate 'the four evil I's'—ignorance, indifference, intolerance, and injustice. I hope this book will be a testament to her legacy and to her desire that the atrocities of the Holocaust, man's inhumanity toward fellow man, will never be repeated or forgotten." – STEPHEN SCHIFF
"After a childhood like this, the choice is revenge or love. Charlene chose love, especially for the impressionable and vulnerable. The message of her example is profound: if this child of the forest can open her heart, what is preventing the rest of us?" – RABBI JACK MOLINE
"Charlene Schiff's early years were marked by fear, loss, trauma, and profound insecurity. As an adult, she worked tirelessly to share her personal history with audiences young and old, civilian and military, domestic and international, in an effort to warn others about the consequences of unchecked hate. No one can truly understand what she experienced, but her example of courage, perseverance, and love is something we all can take to heart. She was, and will remain, an inspiration." – DIANE SALTZMAN, Director of Survivor A;ffairs, United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
