    In the documentary, One Survivor Remembers, Gerda Weissmann recalls her miraculous survival of the Nazi concentration camps. Throughout her survival, Gerda Weissman shows personality traits of courage, perseverance, and compassion. When Gerda Weissmann was fifteen years old Germany seized control over Poland and all Jewish Poles were confined to small living quarters of their houses.

Another example is on pages 31-32, Elie and his father had the courage to lie to an SS officer about their age and profession not knowing it would be the savior to their own fate. But that’s not all, after the myth that saved them from an eternal death, they still had to face many challenges that could easily end with their hope to live, with their illusion of getting to eat a good meal again, with their courage to survive.
