today my grandfather passed away-he survived the holocaust but lost his mother and siblings-how does one remember such a person -how did he go on-how did he sleep at night-what was really inside him all these years-I want to honor his courage in so many ways-best to never let our children forget and their children-his name was josef sender if anyone on this site knew him |

I have to do a poem in english about the death walk in the holocaust.I give great honer to those who survied.
The freezing cold hunted me while i strive to survie.
I moved step by step try not to get shot.
The sleepness
over came me while marching i pushed harder and harder each day trying to make it threw the camp.
I dreaded with tears in my eyes while i tired to make it to the next camp we where geting moved to.
I waited and waited for the war to end. I knew i had to strive harder just to survie.
I could not belive it before we started the last march we where saved.
No longer i had to cry another tear, or over come the harsh weather, sleep on the ground, walk on hard surfaces.
We made it I was free no longer sad
i thinked god I made it threw.

I am the daughter of Holocaust survivors. I know that I am very blessed to have had many members of my family survive the horror of the Nazi's. Some family members never returned home after being taken away to concentration camps. But, fortunately, many did. Although I have lost some of my aunts and uncles over the recent years, I was blessed to have known them while I was growing up. Each one had their own horror story to tell. I do not know how they lived with those horrible memories. And yet, were able to raise their families with the amount of love, and humor that they did. They are, and were, truly remarkable people. What they lived through is unimaginable. I say a prayer for every life that was exterminated. What happened, and what was allowed to happen, is the human race's darkest disgrace. Man's inhumanity to man. We must NEVER forget!! |

I am 14 years old. I am german and i am very ashamed of my race for all the cruelty that happened. I know for a fact no one in my family was involved with the NAZI party. My Great grand parents came here in the year 1905. I have many jewish friends and all people who have a Nazi mind should get in the 21st century. Everyone is equal. Why should it be any different for jewish people! For all the survivors of the holocaust i am very sorry for what you had to go through.
Happy feelings!,

Josef perl came to my shool toaday and told us about his family his mom and two older sisters were shot right in front of him...his niece and nephew were shot to death.After that he had no family left except for him.He was only six when all the maddness started and 15 when it ended.He has a book called 'faces in smoke'it tells about his experiance in the holocaust and seeing other kids getting poisned...Iwish it never happened and hitler was never born but maybe it happened for a reason no one can undo what has already been done. |

I spoke to survivors, Susan Warsinger, Renee Kann Silver and Peter Feigl. Also, the surviving children of Erna Heymann Bernstein and Paul (Pavel) Weiner, those experiences I am very greatful for, because there are not many of them left. |

My parents were survivors of the holocaust. They were Polish Catholics, forced to work in labor camps. They rarely, if ever spoke of what happened to them - and of course, my curiosity brought me to do my own research. Now, I understand why they didn't speak of what happened, because they couldn't. I am sure this horror tormented their dreams on a regular basis. I can never imagine ever witnessing what they saw, lived and felt on a daily basis. My respect only grew greater for them and those who managed to survive this atrocity. My respect and heart goes out to all those who lost their lives. Never forget, especially those who have become forgotten. |

I have no family who attended the Holocaust but it amazes me the people who survived. I pay my respect by leaving these comments and shall we never forget the Holocaust. |

I think we need to remember the Holocaust and be nicer to more people so it doesn't happen again. |
