From the Diary of Donia Rosen, who escaped to the forest at age 12.

Donia survived, and immigrated to Israel.

“I have no words, but I must write, I must! I beg of you not to forget those who are no longer living.

You must avenge their deaths! I plead with you to erect a monument that will reach the heavens, so the entire world will see it, not a statue of marble or stone, but a tower of good deeds, for I strongly believe that only such a memorial can guarantee a better future for you and your children.”
