there was an auswhitz survivor that came to my school, Hyde Park Middle School in Las Vegas, and he published a book (My brother’s voice), and i was crying by the time he was finished.
I remember, he said,"when you go home, hug your parents, and tell them that this is a hug for me, cuz i cant hug my parents anymore.”. he told us of how he held his brother when he died, how he saw his aunt MASSACRED, and mother and sister lead to the gas chambers, how he saw one of his uncles shot, what he went through, how the nazi’s purposely tore up families...and he was crying when he talked to us.
and much more....and you get to thinking....well...each individual story....they put a number for the ppl who died...SIX MILLION, but we cant really understand exactly what that number means.. SIX MILLION stories..SIX MILLION lives, dreams, hopes, futures, love, happiness....so much more....SIX MILLION.
