"By telling our stories, by teaching about the Holocaust and writing our memoirs, we force ourselves to recall the painful past in order to assure future generations of children an innocent and happy childhood free of menacing violence. Now we want to be assured that our efforts were not in vain. We want to live out our lives secure in the knowledge that these inhumanities will never happen again - not because there are laws which say they are wrong, but because PEOPLE say so. It is people who should admonish one another with the biblical command Zachor, Remember!" Ruth Glasberg Gold, Romanian Holocaust Survivor (before the United Nations, 2009) .

Pepi Schreier, 100, Oldest Auschwitz Survivor Defies Odds, Living in Israel to Tell Her Story

Lilly Zelmanovic (née Jacob)    18-year-old Lilly Jacob was deported with her family, and most of the Jews of Hungary, in the spring of 1944. On the ramp at Auschwitz she was brutally separated from her parents and younger brothers; she never saw any of them again. She was lucky and survived; yet, she was not always convinced of the blessing of having survived totally alone, bereft of family, friends and her world.    Unlike all of the other survivors, she was granted a small miracle. On the day of her liberation, in the Dora concentration camp hundreds of miles from Auschwitz, she found in the deserted SS barracks a photo album. It contained, among others, pictures of her family and friends as they arrived on the ramp and unknowingly awaited their death. It was a unique tie to what once had been, could never return, and could never be rebuilt.    It was also, as we now know, the only photographic evidence of Jews arriving in Auschwitz or any other death camp.

Some Jewish Child Survivors of the Holocaust saved via the Kindertransports (Child Transports) In November 1938, following the night of brutal attacks on Jewish homes across Germany known as Kristallnacht (night of broken glass), British refugee organisations persuaded the British government to permit Jewish children under 17 to come temporarily to Britain. Each child's keep, education, and eventual emigration had to be paid for by private individuals. In return, the government agreed to permit refugee children to enter the country on travel visas. Parents were not allowed to accompany their children.Between December 1938 and September 1939, when war began, the kindertransport trains brought around 10,000 children to Britain. Many would never see their parents again.

• Sala Garncarz, Polish Holocaust Survivor
  

  It didn't seem so at the time, but Sala Garncarz was one of the lucky ones. When the Nazi invaded Poland in 1939, she was a 16-year-old Jewish girl living in Sosnowiec, a town close to German border. She volunteered to take the place of her older sister, Raizel, who had been ordered to report to a Nazi forced labor camp for six weeks. But the six weeks stretched into almost five years of servitude for Sala, in seven different camps, with a pittance for wages or none at all, filthy quarters and an abundance of typhus-carrying lice. Her luck was that her labor-worthiness as a seamstress saved her from Auschwitz, a main extermination center, where her parents and other family members died. The story of Sala (she is alive and well at 82 and has grandchildren with her husband of 60 years, Sidney Kirschner) is told in a stirring new exhibition at the New York Public Library, which draws on more than 300 cherished from her family and friends; and a diary she managed to squirrel away during her years of servitude (for a while the Nazis let forced laborers send and receive mail, provided it was written in German). Crucial elements of her saga --which she kept under wraps for more than 50 years-- include the protective support of an older campmate, Ala Gertner, later hanged at Auschwitz for her part in an uprising there; the kindness of a local German family to whose home she was sent under guard to use its sawing machine; her close comradeship with female workers at various camps; her introduction to her husband, then a G.I., at a Rosh Hashana service after the camps were liberated; her postwar discovery of her two surviving sisters; and her emigration as a war bride to the United States in 1946.

  Magdalena Klein (1920-1946) The youngest child of a middle-class Jewish family in Oradea, Northwest Romania, was an eyewitness to the rise of fascism in Europe and the horrors of World War II. She saw and felt the vicious attitudes of the ruling Horthy Hungarian government (that annexed Northwestern Romania) at that time as her family was first forcibly removed to the Jewish ghetto in the city of Oradea (Hungarian, Nagyvárad), then deported to the concentration camp at Birkenau-Auschwitz. Magda survived, but lost many of her family members, a loss she could not bear. She became increasingly reclusive, and in June 1946 she died of an overdose of medication. The poetic journal Magda kept during those years was translated from Hungarian into English by her nice Susan Simpson Geroe under the title "Pearls and Lace."

  The memory of the collaboration between the Judenrat and the Nazis has tortured me for years. How do I dare to call it collaboration when the Judenrat had presumably no choice? I dare because I saw what happened and I experience it. I dare because I want to understand how the Nazis corrupted the Judenrat, left the Jewish population leaderless, and expedited the Final Solution.

• Bart Stern (b. 1926 - )Hungarian Holocaust survivor of Auschwitz
  

  Following the German occupation of Hungary in March 1944, Bart was forced into a ghetto established in his home town. From May to July 1944, the Germans deported Jews from Hungary to the Auschwitz extermination camp in occupied Poland. Bart was deported by cattle car to Auschwitz. At Auschwitz, he was selected to perform forced labor, drilling and digging in a coal mine. As Soviet forces advanced toward the Auschwitz camp in January 1945, the Germans forced most of the prisoners on a death march out of the camp. Along with a number of ill prisoners who were in the camp infirmary, Bart was one of the few inmates who remained in the camp at the time of liberation. He survived to be liberated by hiding in the camp even after many other prisoners had been forced on a death march in January 1945. [USHMM]

• Points of Departure: Survivors of the Holocaust (now living in Israel)
  

  	Michael Gilead - Born Poland, 1925; deported to Auschwitz, 1941; in Israel since 1947; 5 children; police officer.	Survived a forced labour camp, following which he was sent to Auschwitz, where he was one of 16 out of 4,000 prisoners to survive the death march of January 1945. Later, in Israel, he participated in the Eichmann trial as part of the Israeli police detachment, and as assistant to Gideon Hausner, the chief prosecutor.
  	Jenny Rozenstain - Born Romania, 1935; deported to Mogilov ghetto in Transnistria, 1944; in Israel since 1950; 2 children; hairdresser.	"I felt terribly guilty for the murders committed in my family by the SS. They took me by surprise when I was playing outside the Mogilov Podolsk ghetto. This sadist took my little sister, who was only four months old, out of my grandmother's arms, placed her on a stone, and split her in two with an axe. Then he killed my grandmother, my aunt, and five of my cousins. I felt so guilty because until 1997 I never dared tell my story. I was afraid that no one would believe me. Now I have broken my silence and I weep, and so I release myself from this terrible burden of suffering which has weighed on my conscience all my life.'"
  	Yossi Offer - Born Romania, 1929; deported to Auschwitz, 1944; in Israel since 1946; 3 children; airline pilot.	"Exactly six years after my liberation from Buchenwald, on 12 April, 1951, the chief of staff pinned on my chest the Israeli Air Force pilot's emblem. On the same spot where, just a short while before, I was forced to wear the yellow star of David that symbolized disgrace and humiliation. I was so proud to wear now the blue star of David."
  	Ruth Elias - Born Czechoslovakia, 1922; deported to Theresienstadt and Auschwitz, 1942; in Israel since 1949; 2 children; writer.	"Our tormentors tried to dehumanize us, to kill every part of our personality. They had not reckoned with our spiritual and intellectual resistance. And the Germans could not reduce that to nothing...it was hope that enabled me to survive and then presented me with the most precious of all gifts: a family, children, grandchildren, all in a new homeland."
  	Benjamin Anolik - Born Poland, 1926; deported to Vilna Ghetto, 1941; in Israel since 1949; 3 children; teacher.	Was saved twice from certain death in Estonia. Immediately after the war he worked helping surviving children and orphans, continuing his work as a member of the Ghetto Fighters Kibbutz in northern Israel. He returned to Germany several times to give evidence against Nazi criminals and is today a member of the International Commission of Justice.

  
  

Two Female Hungarian Holocaust Survivors that became Olympic Greats

Agnès (Agi) Keleti, Hungarian Holocaust Survivor and the greatest Jewish female Olympic Athlete of all-time, who survived the Holocaust due to the deeds of the Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg. (She was four times Olympic champion at the 1952 Olympic Games in Helsinki and 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne, received the Trophy of Merit from the Hungarian National Olympic Committee. Keleti won all together ten Olympic medals over three Olympiads (1948, 1952, 1956) and was also World Champion on uneven bars in Rome in 1954.

(Between 1940 and 1958, Éva set 10 World and 5 Olympic swimming records. She set an Olympic record in the 200-Meter Breaststroke en route to a gold medal at the 1952 Helsinki Games. In 1976 Éva was elected to the International Swimming Hall of Fame.

His feat of winning water polo medals at five successive Olympic Games (gold 1952, 1956, 1964; silver 1948; bronze 1960) has never been matched. See also Ref. 1 and Ref. 2.)

 

2. Oral History Archives and Holocaust Survivor Testimonies

To keep alive not only memory but also its voices is a noble undertaking. - Elie Wiesel

"…I still do not want to talk about these things. When I do, it is not like reading a book, it is having to live through it again, and I have never wanted to keep feeling the misery of it. And I particularly did not want my children to know, especially about the sexual parts. I did not want to explain what I had to do. It is not nice, nor something that they have to know. They can read about these things…" -- Anne (Holocaust Survivor living in Australia)

 

The Living Testify "In the field of Holocaust literature, nothing is as important nor as meaningful as the personal accounts of those who survived its nightmare only to tell the tale." --Elie Weisel

The people in the above photos are Holocaust survivors who now live on Moshav Nir Galim in Israel. Professor Moshe Davis has recorded their Holocaust stories in The Living Testify.

3. Photos of Holocaust Jewish Survivors at Liberation

.

Three Polish Jews liberated by the Red Army -- Auschwitz, Poland, 1945. In the afternoon of 27 January, 1945, Red Army soldiers entered Auschwitz. They found 7,650 weak and sick prisoners. The Germans' hasty retreat made it impossible for them to evict the last prisoners and force them onto a "death march". The Russians documented the horrific scenes they witnessed, in thousands of pictures and many films. From Yad Vashem Archives

Jewish female survivors from Budapest, Hungary -- Fenig, Germany, April 1945. "Walking corpses" was how a US Army photographer described the group of 68 women from Budapest, Hungary found by soldiers of the 3rd Battalion of the US Army in the Fenig camp, Germany. They had been starved and worked to death in a factory for aircraft parts. The women, several of them dying, were transferred to a German Air Force hospital for treatment.

January 27, 1945 -- the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau by soldiers of the Soviet Army <http://fcit.coedu.usf.edu/holocaust/gallery/p538.htm> / <sundweb.com/Danmark/home.htm>

Emaciated Jewish survivors, who had been confined to the infirmary barracks at Ebensee, are gathered outside on May 7, 1945, the day after liberation. The survivor at center-left holding his metal name tag is Joachim Friedner, a 21-year-old Polish Jew from Krakow. http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=CvX0BJWyom4&offerid=44444.1008515365&type=2&subid=0 . Some of the most difficult photographs from the Holocaust were those taken by the Allied liberating forces upon entering the camps. The liberating soldiers were met by masses of corpses and tens of thousands of prisoners who were on the brink of death. Yet, for the Jews, liberation did not bring unequivocal relief. They would not and could not return home; there was no home other than bloody graveyards and rubble. Emigration was blocked by strict immigration laws around the world, and the survivors' demands to be allowed into Palestine were resisted by the British Mandatory authorities.
