A Holocaust Survivor that Never Lost Hope
Sara Atzmon is a Holocaust survivor with an amazing story.
David Ayzenberg was a Jewish man born in Kiev, the capital city of Soviet Ukraine, in 1926
In 1944, Helga Weiss came to terms with the idea of dying – with one important condition. She was only 14 years old and had never been strongly religious, but as she waited in a queue at Auschwitz she prayed she wouldn't die after her mother. She couldn't face being left alone.
Helga is one of only 100 children to survive Auschwitz out of the 15,000 sent there from the concentration camp at Terezín, north of Prague. Altogether, between 1941 and 1945, she and her mother were sent to four camps: Terezín, Auschwitz, Freiberg and Mauthausen.
The “Final Solution” of the Jewish Question refers to the German Nazis’ plan to address the “Jewish problem” through systematic relocation and later extermination of Jews during World War II. The extermination of 6 million Jews in the Nazi Holocaust was the product of a complex labyrinth of social, political, economic and military courses of action, which coalesced in Hitler’s Germany.
