Hello
My name is Sarah and I am 17. I think that it is great that we are recognizing these people. They went through alot and no one should ever foget this part in history. I still have so many questions about this and no answers. I was hoping to find a survivor on this site who would be willing to talk. I read an article that a person called "R" wrote...he said that Josef Perl spoke at a school. Would I be able to get more information about it. Also, Elie Wiesel and Georg Brady...I can't seem to find how to find or contact survivors.
I think that even if it was a horrific thing that happened, we should still remeber it, no matter how painfull it is. Hitler was an evil man and we hope that nothing like this would ever produce again.
A la prochaine.
If you have any info, please e-mail me at Sarah-3@live.ca

I am a Filipino but I could feel & relate the pain of our brothers & sisters who were the victims of hate & prejudice. After watching Schindler's List movie,I couldnt help myself but cry to those who lose their lives unnecessarily.I don't see the point why hate to the Jews still exist even this modern times.
To the descendants of Holocust Victims & survivors, my prayers is with you. That you all may have peaceful and loving life with your family, community and country.
May God bless us all.

This is to Henry Brent; my father was Henry Beitscher, born in New York City in 1916. We must be related.

i think we should remember the people who died in kristallnacht because some of them gave there life trying to save some of the items in the burning cinagogs also i could not image something like this going on today it would be devistating.

kristallnacht because there lives were taken for no apparent reason and got there synogogaes destroyed because they were jews, only because there religion was jewish

we are learning about this tragity in class and some of the things they did were just wrong. Take for example the gas chambers and shooting people in to a pit . What was wrong with some members of the human race?
