Manci Rosner Character Analysis

Manci Rosner is an Austrian woman living in Cracow; she’s Henry Rosner’s wife and Olek’s mother. Manci makes Oskar Schindler’s list and is rescued from the Płaszów concentration camp, but like the other women, she is first sent to Auschwitz. There, while in a train car waiting to be shipped out, she is surprised to see her son and husband. They try to reassure her so that she won’t feel guilty about going ahead to Brinnlitz. Ultimately, the whole family survives the Holocaust.
