I believe this was very wrong for anybody to go through that to survive. People should be treat equaly. No person is different from the other. People should not be treat badly because of their race,the way they look,sexualty or things like that. This is very hard for me to right this. Its hard for me to stop crying. I am gald that some jews survive so they can tell their stories what they had to do to survive. I want the jews to know don't be mad yourself be happy that you survived to see a better tomrrow. Jews i give you my blessings and my love for what you had to go through. I am only 14 years old. Love is what keeps you moving without you are nonhing. Jews may you all live in peace and harmney. I will never forget you guys ever. You guys will always live in my heart. Say Hello to a new begining. Don't forget Love!!!!!

I am very sad that this has happened...The holocaust shouldnt have been like that, because many people just died because of their race and that is not good...God Bless who all survived and my love is towards you.

My father was a POW in Stalag Luft Zwei in WW2 and he escaped from and then came back sitting on the front of the first tank in, to liberate his camp. He said it was "the greatest sound he ever heard." Thousands of British, French, Russian and AMerican pilots as they were liberated. He then went on to liberate Dachau. He said, "they just lay there.." How terrible their treatment that they could not even respond to being liberated! We are all part of the human family. We must never forget the brave members of the holocaust and those that survive.

Holocaust was and remains the greatest evil the world has ever experienced. Like the Rwanda Genocide, it came about because some world leaders mistook it for an Israeli problem and therefore refused to act timeously, decisively and extremely harshly to suppress the evil. Sadly, the world is still encouraging new Holocausts, particularly in Africa. Darfur is an example and a scar on the conscience of world leaders!

well the holocaust is something we can try to ignore but it happened. It's amazing how one person can change one nation. I cry way to much when I think about the holocaust. So many innocent people died just because of their race. Why so much hatred?why? well i just want to say that my heart goes to those who died during the holocaust.Those who survived may God Bless you.

I was born in the 60's and when I first heard about the holocaust I was shocked. The more that I read and saw the more that I needed to know. This was a very tragic time in history and to know that people allowed this to happen to innocent people is beyond thinking. I have heard that many people that perished wanted their stories to continue. I feel that I owe this message to stay alive for for all that was lost. I will continue to read and watch what ever comes my way to honor the lives lost and to make people realize how much hate can do. Sites like this also continues to keep the memories alive and allow the world to know. Thank you for sharing this site.

I am a single mother of two wonderful children, my daughter is of Arabic descent. If you can only imagine the issues she has had to deal with based on the actions of a select few people from the country that her biological father was born in. The more I read about the Holocaust the more I realize that there were hundreds of thousands of people who did not exactly participate but watched fearfully and quietly while their own families and, I'm sure, friends murdered men, women and children for no other reason than their own hate. I will never even begin to understand how anyone can kill without any regard what so ever, but what about the people who know it was happening and did nothing? What about the people that could have stopped it? I do believe in God and I do believe that each and every person will be held accountable for their actions, but what about no action? Is playing it safe okay? It makes you think. What if the guy next door is beating his wife? Do you call the police? What if his wife is your daughter? Do you call now? His wife is someone's daughter, if it was yours you would want someone to call. We live in a day and age where it isn't politically correct to get involved, so who's to say that this won't happen again, what if someone somewhere decided to get rid of all the uptight, self-righteous, entitled, religionless, white people? I would want someone to get involved and not be afraid to do something, how about you?

Hi, The reason it is important to study the holocaust is that it teaches us alot about what kind if people we have in this world. Even though you might not be Jewish or German it is right for us to know what happens in the other parts of the world. The way I feel about this situation is that it was just stupid, ridiculous,and painful. If you don't like someone becuase of thier race it doesn't mean you have a choice of killing or should I say Genocide. When I was learning about the Holocaust, I was crying. I just kept asking myself, Why,why,and why? I just know that Hilter is in hell right now suffering worse than what the Jewish went through. I really feel sorry for all those people. What makes it even worse, is the children. I recently read the book, Night. It helped me to understand it better and really touched me. Everyone that survived the Holocasut, God Bless and take care.

I don't have any words to describe the events of the Holocaust. I am very iterested in becoming a doctor and the oath"Do no harm" always comes to mind. When researching the Holocaust,I was awstruck at the autrocities...I don't think I'll ever be able to sleep without visions of children being tortured. I think that everyone, not just doctors, should vow to DO NO HARM. I advise everyone to research the genocide in Darfur and make sure that a website like this doesn't have to be made in 30 years for those victims and survivors...hopefully we can help them so there will be survivors...

Hello everyone. My great-aunt is Rena Gelissen and she wrote Rena's Promise. My grandmother is Danka or Dina. Rena was on the first transport to Aushwitz and my grandmother came after. The book tells of their journey and it is a wonderful book. If you'd like to learn more about the holocaust, I encourage you to read this book. Rena passed away just recently but my grandmother is alive but living with Alzheimer's disease. Dina and Rena were the sweetest people who were amazing seamstresses and cooks. This was an obscene event and everyone should learn about it so it NEVER happens again.
