These are the stories of the Holocaust survivors. They are stories of loss, but also of resilience. They are stories of pain, but also of hope. They are stories that we must never forget.

The Survivor

I was born in Poland in 1925. My family was Jewish, and we lived in a small town. When the Nazis invaded Poland in 1939, my world was turned upside down.

My family was forced into a ghetto, and then we were sent to a concentration camp. I was only 14 years old at the time, but I will never forget the horrors that I saw.

I saw people being beaten, starved, and killed. I saw children being ripped from their parents' arms. I saw people being burned alive.

But even in the darkest of times, I never gave up hope. I knew that I had to survive, for myself and for my family.

I worked hard in the camp, and I did everything I could to stay alive. I stole food, I hid from the guards, and I helped others who were weaker than me.

After three years in the camp, I was finally liberated by the Allies. I was one of the lucky ones. I had survived the Holocaust.

But the war had taken its toll on me. I had lost my family, my home, and my childhood. I was alone in the world.

But I was determined to rebuild my life. I came to America, and I started a new family. I worked hard, and I eventually became a successful businessman.

I am now 90 years old, and I am grateful for every day that I have. I am a Holocaust survivor, and I am a testament to the human spirit.

The Rescuer

I was born in Germany in 1920. My family was not Jewish, but we were against the Nazis.

When the Nazis came to power in 1933, I was 13 years old. I saw the way they treated the Jews, and I was disgusted.

I knew that I had to do something to help. So I started to smuggle food and supplies into the ghetto.

I also helped Jews to escape from Germany. I would get them fake passports and help them to cross the border into Switzerland.

I was always afraid of being caught, but I knew that I was ng the right thing.

I helped over 100 Jews to escape from Germany. I am proud of what I did, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.

The Witness

I was born in Poland in 1922. My family was Jewish, and we lived in a small town.

When the Nazis invaded Poland in 1939, I was 17 years old. I saw the Nazis round up my family and neighbors.

I watched as they were forced into cattle cars and taken away. I never saw them again.

I was the only one in my family who survived the Holocaust. I was hidden by a Polish family, and I lived in their attic for two years.

I saw the horrors of the Holocaust firsthand. I saw people being shot, hanged, and burned alive.

I am a witness to the Holocaust. I will never forget what I saw, and I will never stop fighting against hatred and intolerance.

The Legacy

The Holocaust was a tragedy, but it also taught us some important lessons.

We learned that hatred and intolerance can lead to genocide.

We learned that we must never give up hope, even in the darkest of times.

We learned that we must always fight for what is right.

The Holocaust survivors are a living testament to these lessons. They are a reminder of the importance of fighting hatred and intolerance, and they are a symbol of hope for the future.

We must never forget the lessons of the Holocaust. We must never allow hatred and intolerance to prevail.

We must build a better future, a future where everyone is treated with respect and dignity.
