The Holocaust isn’t ancient history for me.

Both my grandmothers, two uncles, two aunts, and four first cousins were murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators.

My mother and Aunt barely made it through Auschwitz.

My Aunt wrote about how Mengele almost selected her but a friend helped her get lost in a surge of poor souls. My mother never spoke about it. The crying I would sometimes hear when she slept told me what she couldn’t say.

Those in my family who survived the Holocaust are all gone. The next generation is rapidly diminishing.

We must remember.

Research Sites (Revised December 12, 2022)

To research Holocaust Victims, the United States Holocaust Museum is the place to begin. One can even submit a request for assistance from volunteer researchers. When I received a copy of my mother’s paperwork for the Krakow Ghetto from the museum, it gave me the chills.
