I am currently researching my grandmother, who was sent to Ravensbruck at the tender age of 18, but survived the Death March and was liberated in 1945. She sadly died when i was too young to hear her tales, not that i beleive she would ever share them. I am starting a documentary on her life.. she was born in Poland, origionally with the name Teske - Peschelte (?), then her mother re-married after her father was killed in the Battle of the River Plate (and is buried in Uraguay). Her new name was Schoenrock. If anyone knows any stories about this camp, or has family from Poland, Stettin, Pinneburg and may recognise the Schoenrock or Teske name, please contact me on misspiteri@yahoo.co.uk. Or even just to share your story. People of my generation will never know what our ancestors went through, which has ultimately led to our birth and position on this planet. I plan to honor her memory and brave story. |

Man's inhumanity to man is astounding. That this went on for so long and was covered up so well is mind-boggling. We must be very watchful to prevent anything even remotely like this from ever happening again. My heart goes out to all the victims and their families. |

I was looking up the concentration camp my mother was in~Gross Rosen. She was from Krakow~her name was Erna Ferber~there are still surviving Ferbers from Krakow living here in the US. If anyone needs any information about the Ferbers or if anyone had a member of their family in Gross Rosen ~my mother passed away in 2004~she never talked about her experience. |

It is truly horrible what has happened to to millions of Innocent men, women and children during those terrifying times in history. I am from Serbia and my grandfather and great-grandfather were victims of the Nazi wrath. They were taken during the German occupation in Serbia and were fortunate to survive since they were sent into civil labor in Germany rather than a concentration camp. But 700,000 people (the majority of whom were Serbs the rest were Romas, Serbian Jews, Bosnian Muslims and Croat opposers) who were brutally exterminated in Jasenovac, Croatia by the Ustashas-Croatian followers of the Nazi regime, were not so lucky. This is a horrifying number considering the small size of the country they come from. Virtually Croatia was completely cleansed of everyone who was not Ustasha. One eighth of the entire Serbian population was wiped out during the WWII which is a little known fact. May they have Heavenly peace since they could not have an earthly one. |

I am writing an essay in my honors English class about the Holocaust and went on this site for a simple death toll but instead became intrigued by this article on the mentally and physically disabled because I myself am physically disabled and in a wheelchair. I find this article heartbreaking and terrible that Hitler did this to so many people. I am a very smart young woman and nothing is wrong with me or anyone else mentally and physically disabled. This article made me proud of who I am and inspired me to help people in my situation who are discriminated against. |

I was deeply touched by the article about the Mauthausen concentration camp. I will never forget - I was there when it was liberated and was commanded to help bury the many bodies left after the liberation. I often wonder if anybody ever accounted for all these bodies. I was 16 years old at the time. |

I don't have anyone in my family who was ever in the holocaust, but i feel oddly linked to the pain the survivors have felt. I grieve for their lost loved ones and am sorry for the memories they must bare for the rest of their lives. :[ |

Im in 8th grade and we just finished our Holocaust project. Our school was very fortunate to listen and speak to a very famous Holocaust Survivor and Author who lives right here in Portland,Or. His name is Alter Wiener. He spoke to us about his experiance in the Holocaust, he says that he still to this day, even though it happend 60 years ago, has nightmares and flashbacks. I think it is horrible what Hitler, the Nazis, and all of the SS officers did to those poor people. Getting to speak to Mr. Alter Wiener was seriously a life changing experiance, eaching me we must never forget the Holocaust and the pain and tradegdy that happend. |
