The strength of the people who survived the Holocaust amazes me. Most would have gave up and died...I know i would have. But I have to wonder.....what kind of people could have forced such torture on their fellow man? |

After reading all your stories I was in tears - nobody should have ever have gone through the pain and the horrific things you had to go through. We will never forget this and you are all so brave - it's evil to have your families taken away and people hurt and tortured - it's so sad and moving. We cannot forget this just because of the horror of it - we will always remember the people who suffered because of the Holocaust and how strong you were. |

After reading many of the entries, I realize I have nothing to add save my sincere sorrow. We shall never forget but when will we learn? |

To all of you who who endured the pain and suffering..we love you so much..and we will never forget and will never allow the world to forget what happened. It is such a shame the horrors that happened to all of you..the terrible and inhumanity that went on..due to the hatred, that people wouldn't stand up and stop this. We need to remember that this stuff is still going on..but in different versions..in our world today..and the Nazis are still out there.we just need to remember that we can't turn a blind eye to things like they did back then..or else it will happen in full force again..like it is trying to...
I pray for this not to happen..for the killings to stop now...I pray for peace for those who suffered back then also..and thankful that you are so wonderful to help out and fight for a great cause now...thank you for doing a great job...please forgive those horrible people don't forget it..but please forgive them..I know that it is hard..but God forgives us..ya know..just don't ever forget..we must tell the world!! |

I left Germany at the age of 10 in1936 with my father and older sister. 2 of my uncles had emigrated to the US several yers earlier. They were able to sponsor us and yet we could not enter America. We were taken to Ellis Island for a hearing. My uncles promised we would never become a public charge and we were allowed to enter. Before we left Germany my father was told he could not go back to his office so we had no money. Jewish children were not allowed any milk or milk products and teachers were not allowed to call us by our first names. I was beaten several times and choked by an adult until I passed out. My father could do nothing to protect his family.
My German playmates and neighbors all looked the other way. Don't believe that they did not know what was going on.
My parents had been divorced and my mother survived being incarcerated in Theresienstadt, a Czek concentration camp. After the war she told me terrible stories that she witnessed. I lost many relatives because the were Jewish. Not people-just vermin.
Forgive if you can but never forget.
The Holocaust was unique in the number of people killed in a short time but the inhumanity of murdering people in the name of hatred is still with us today. |

I was sitting today watching a special on the television about modern Neo-Nazis and Holocaust denial. I then got on the internet and was horrified by what I read about these organizations. As a person proud of both my German and my Jewish ancestry--THANK YOU for making sure that the horrors of the Holocaust are never forgotten. And THANK YOU doubly for celebrating the courage and strength of the survivors and their families. |
