Thanks to My Mother
''Thanks to My Mother'' is the memoir of Schoschana Rabinovici, née Susanne Weksler, a young Jewish girl from Vilnius, Lithuania. The book gives a rare, detailed view of Jewish life in Vilnius during German occupation and contains gritty descriptions of life in the Vilnius Ghetto and the circumstances of those deported from the ghetto for slave labor in Germany. It is written from the viewpoint of a young girl from the age of about eight to twelve. The book is designated as an American Library Association notable book and is the 1999 winner of the Mildred L. Batchelder Award. The award seeks to recognize translations of children's books into the English language (in this case by James Skofield from the original German), with the intention of encouraging American publishers to translate high quality foreign language children's books.
== Background ==
Susanne Weksler was born on November 14, 1932 in Paris, where her parents were completing their studies. After the Wekslers returned to Vilnius, Suzanne attended Jewish school until the German occupation of the city in 1941. Suzanne is a Holocaust survivor, having survived the Vilnius Ghetto, the Kaiserwald forced labor camp, and the Stutthof concentration camp. Her autobiographical work, ''Dank meiner Mutter'' (''Thanks to My Mother''), based on her Holocaust experiences, was first published in German in 1994. The English translation was published in the United States in 1998 and is the 1999 winner of the Mildred L. Batchelder Award. Of her extended family of some 30 individuals, only Suzanne, her mother and an uncle survived. After the war Suzanne attended school in Poland, and in 1950 she immigrated to Israel, serving in the Israeli armed forces until 1952. She married David Rabinovici in 1953 and had two sons, born in 1955 and 1961. Suzanne Weksler, now Schoschana Rabinovici, has lived in Tel Aviv and Vienna since 1964.
