  1. The Holocaust

  2. What is the Holocaust? • Under the cover of the Second World War, for the sake of their “new order,” the Nazis sought to destroy all the Jews of Europe. For the first time in history, industrial methods were used for the mass extermination of a whole people. Six million were murdered, including 1,500,000 children. • This event is called the Holocaust. • Nazis enslaved and murdered millions of others as well. Gypsies, people with physical and mental disabilities, Poles, Soviet prisoners of war, trade unionists, political opponents, prisoners of conscience, homosexuals, and others were killed in vast numbers.

  11. Pigtail-TadeuszRòzewicz When all the women in the transportHad their heads shavedFour workmen with brooms made of birch twigsSwept upAnd gathered up the hairBehind clean glassThe stiff hair liesOf those suffocated in gas chambersThere are pins and side combsIn this hairThe hair is not shot through with lightIs not parted by the breezeIs not touched by any handOr rain or lipsIn huge chestsclouds of dry hairOf those suffocatedAnd a faded plaitA pigtail with a ribbonPulled at schoolBy naughty boys.

  12. We Are The Shoes - Moshe Szulsztein We are the shoes, we are the last witnesses.We are shoes from grandchildren and grandfathersFrom Prague, Paris and Amsterdam, And because we are only made of fabric and leatherAnd not of blood and flesh, Each one of us avoided the hellfire.

  13. Never Shall I Forget – Elie Wiesel Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which turned my life into one long night, seven times cursed and seven times sealed. Never shall I forget that smoke.Never shall I forget the little faces of the children whose bodies I saw turned into wreaths of smoke beneath a silent blue sky.

  14. Last Lullaby – JankaAbrami She saw the chimneys belching smokeand the black smoke abovecovering the world with a blanket of doomobscuring the picture of God.She held on to her motherthe terror in her dark eyesdistorting her four-year-old facewith ancient wisdom."I don't want to go in there for a shower,"she cried. "I don't want to go!""Shash... my pet, don't crythe water won't be coldand I'll hold you tight,"the woman soothed her childas they walked into the concrete cage.She couldn't see the chimneys any morenor the dark clouds abovenor did she hear the moansand the "Shema Israel" of othersas she snuggled close to her mother.All she heard was the loving voicewhisper the last lullaby of Auschwitz:"Shash, my darling, Shash..."

  15. Charlotte Delbo, Auschwitz-Birkenau survivor I beg you Do something Learn a dance step Something to justify your existence Something that gives you the right To be dressed in your skin in your body hair Learn to walk and to laugh Because it would be too senseless After all For so many have died While you live Doing nothing with your life.
