so many children were brutally killed, innocent children taken from the comfort of their homes and mistreated. i pray for them that their soul may rest in peace. how could people be so cruel and heartless toward another human being because of something simple as race, colour or creed. we are all different because God made us all different. the nazi should have to suffer the cost of their actions even up to this very day. i read some of the info on this site with a heavy heart and tears in my eyes. dear lord i pray that their souls may find peace

I was aware of the cruelty of the holocaust, but never had i ever looked so deep into it. As i read and listen to stories, i get chills down my spine and arms. This people who have survived these acts are heros in my book because to survive and be able to tell there stories is more then a courage it is an honor.

I truly feel sad for everyone that lost their life to Hitler & his Nazis. If I was there, I would help them. I can't stand seeing someone die because they're another race or something.

I think that whoever suffered the Holocaust should know that they are a BIG part of history. Especially the ones who have survived because they can be proud that they have become a part of history. It was a sad,horrific time, but they have shown that ANYTHING is possible, ANYTHING.
My heart goes out to you Holocaust vics. and survivors,my heart does go out to you.

Yes, I feel for the many jewish that lost their life by the hand of Hitler, but I also feel for the innocent german kids and later older people that where killed by the hand of Hitler because a medical condition that's why I'm very concern about the new euthanasia movment. We have to stand up and stop what could become the next Holocaust.... Say no to euthanasia!!!!! much love for the jewish community...

Dora Rivkinas story has touched me. My teacher has made my class do a book report and we have to choose a person from the Holacaust. I choose Dora because to me she seemed like an intesesting girl to do it on. when the Germans cached her and her gang of escapes my heart just sank i actually thought she would make it out thier alive. When the Germans got her they tied her up, threw heer in the river and shot her. For a moment I thought some sort of gardien angel would come and save her. But no the Germans caught her and killed her. Its a tragedy that,that happened no one should have to go through that! Well ya she was a very unique girl to me and i hope shes in a better place!!!(:

My Uncle Mario P. DeBellis fought with 83rd Infantry Div. Thunderbolt, from Omaha to Bulge and was a demolition specialist and sharpshooter, serving on loan to General Patton. He was often volunteered by his Sergent by name, "Dynamite DeBellis" and when he returned, the platoon was found wiped out in the fierce war. He helped liberate the prisoners at Bachenwald, at Langenstein on April 11th, 1945. He earned five ribbons and Good Conduct and
Victory Medals. He was a life member of the VFW Post at Hartford, Conn, Post 254. He died February 1, nearly 90 years old. He will be buried at Mount
Saint Benedict Cemetary in Bloomfield, Connecticut on March 25th, 2011, with honor guard and Catholic service. He was my uncle, he had always been a sharpshooter, giving everyone he knew a pet name, whom he cared for. He told me he was ready to meet Jesus, and his last request was for a pack of cigarettes, and he said to me, "don't forget the matches" He was a demolition specialist 533, and he had nerve....
Thank you Uncle Mario, a truly typical American Hero, the greatest generation we shall know in a very long time....
