There were 9,508,340 people of the Jewish Faith in countries taken over by Hitler and the Germans.
Only 3,546,211 people survived this. This means that if you were in a family of 10, 6 of those people would have died.
“There is a place on earth that is a vast desolate wilderness, a place populated by shadows of the dead in their multitudes, a place where the living are dead, where only death, hate and pain exist.”
– Giuliana Tedeschi, Holocaust survivor
“For me the Holocaust was not only a Jewish tragedy, but also a human tragedy. After the war, when I saw that the Jews were talking only about the tragedy of six million Jews, I sent letters to Jewish organizations asking them to talk also about the millions of others who were persecuted with us together – many of them only because they helped Jews.”
– Simon Wiesenthal, Holocaust survivor
