my passion lies in the holocaust
i first heard abt the holocaust when i was six, and since then, i have nvr lost passion in finding out abt the holocaust and the children who perished in it. out of the 6 million jews who perished, 1.5 million were children. anne frank has always been my war hero and idol. i noe its crazy to love someone who died some 60 years back, but her story is so moving and her diary is so intelligent that i carn help feeling that she's still alive. somehow, she reminds me of me.
that day i was surfing when i came across this site
http://www.graceproducts.com/fmnc/main.htm
as i read it, my heart broke. this is a website designed specially for some of the children who died in the holocaust. each child has a page dedicated to him or her, so as we read, we understand what our ancestors (that's what they would have been if they havent perished in the hands of those german trash. nazis, to be exact) had been through, we comprehend their fear, we relive the war years, we see how children were treated and we learn, to appreciate what we have now. children below the age of 16 were brutally mudered, and on the last transport to westerbork, one of the concentration camps the nazis have cruelly set up, all children below the age of 15 were gassed immediately upon arrival. on the children's block in auschwitz, hitler drew a 1.6 mark on one of the walls, and any child who's head didn reach the mark were mudered brutally. imagine, if i were one of the children, i would not have survived. i'm only 1.57m.
children were used for experiments where in some of the cases, twins were experimented on. mia and lia borak, a pair of twins in auschwitz were experimented on. on what happened to them, no details were found. they still remain missing till today. the notorious josef mengele, a mad doctor in auschwitz used to experiment on kids, and he would freeze them, castrate them etc. for twins, he he drew sketches of each twin, for comparison. He also injected his victims with various substances, dripping chemicals into their eyes, apparently in an attempt to change their color. he then killed them by injecting chlorofoam into their hearts and killed them.
