Through Children's Eyes

Through Children's Eyes

Diary portions illuminate a view of the world seen through the eyes and lives of Jewish children during the holocaust.

 

The World Jewish Congress presents a two-minute video describing the affect of Nazi anti-Semitism upon Jewish children.

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but the words of these children paint a picture of desperation and hopelessness that no human being should have to endure at the hands of another. 

Lest we forget, these words penned in the diaries of Jewish children remind us of the mindless cruelty of war and hate.  They hoped for peace and a normal life that never returned to their world.
