They were being taken to Auschwitz and they were separated when they got there. Eliezer and his father were told to go to the left, which meant forced labor.

Born in Poland, Henia Weit was the youngest of nine children in her family. She lived in a town by the name of Sambor. Unfortunately, the town was bombarded by German soldiers shortly after Hitler started his reign of terror on the Jews. Henia’s family was forced to do laborious work in a ghetto until they were all deported to a concentration camp.

Many families suffer from issues of hunger, money, addiction, and more. But not many family conflicts lead to a family member killing another family member. This although, was a common occurrence during the Holocaust. Many of the Jews killed each other for food and other needs that people now take for granted. In Elie Wiesel's novel, Night, Elie shows the digression of families throughout the beginning, middle and end of the book to demonstrate the inhumanity of the prisoners at the camps.

When Irene Safran was only twenty-one years old, her carefree life ended in the face of the Holocaust. Born to two Jewish parents as one of ten children-- four girls and six boys in all-- in Munkachevo, Czechoslovakia around the year 1923, her world changed in early April 1944 when she and her family were transferred to a Jewish ghetto. For the next year, Irene's life was a series of deaths, losses, and humiliations no human should ever have to suffer, culminating, years later, with a triumphant ending. Her story is proof that the human spirit can triumph over all manner of adversity and evil.

I was born on February 1, 1932. Eleven months before Hitler was appointed Chancellor of Germany and fourteen months before the first Nazi concentration camp opened up.

The full effects of the Holocaust and World War II didn’t start to affect me until I was in the first grade.

When Eliezer arrived at the concentration camp, he became a number. 'I became A-7713. From then on, I had no other name.' Not only did Eliezer lose his name, he lost his family. He was allowed to stay with his father in a slave labor camp because he lied about his age. The rest of his family was separated.

While Alicia was out working on the farms to gain food, her mother stayed in hiding. She and Alicia had a great relationship; in fact she died for Alicia.

There are many stories of the Holocaust, which occurred during World War II, but certain ones tend to spark more interest in people than others. One of these stories is the one of Princess Alice.

Many people remember this famous person from the Holocaust. Alice is an important part of the Holocaust because she helped many evade capture by the Nazis, the political party led by Hitler that led Germany through World War II.
