The Survivors Of The Holocaust

Beginning in March 1942, a wave of mass murder swept across Europe. During the next 11 months 4,500,000 human beings were eliminated. By the end of World War II the toll had risen to approximately 6,000,000 Jews, which included 1,500,000 children, who perished at the hands of the Nazi murderers. When the killing ended those who survived were released from the concentration camps and came out of hiding. Here you can read some of their stories.
Though they survived the Holocaust, most have not escaped from the pain.
My reaction from these clips was that during the Holocaust these three people went thru a lot of stress having their family members being taken away or killed. i almost cried. The radio was a very important way the people communicated, years went by and people all scared for what's coming next. No one knew what would happen, it was so violent. people being called but not knowing were they where going, People didn't know what it was all about , people went to passenger cars, they needed to pay for the children, the bad people came from the military, violance and mourning.
