  1. IngeAuerbacher Holocaust Survivor

  2. Inge During the Holocaust Inge grew up in a small German village called Kippenheim. Her father was a German soldier during World War I and received the Iron Cross for his service to his country. When Inge was seven, she and her parents were shipped off to Terezin. Of the 15,000 children sent to the Terezin concentration camp between 1941 and 1945, she is one of the ONE percent that survived. She wrote a book of poetry about her experience.

  3. “I Wish” by IngeAuerbacher I wish I could run free,And play to my heart's desire.Climb mountains, walk on soft grass,Never would I tire.I wish these strange conditions, Were no more than a nightmare.That there are still people somewhere,Who understand and care.

  4. “I Wish” by IngeAuerbacher I wish I could sleep on a soft bed,And eat a good meal.Never again to hunger,To barter, and to steal.I wish I would wake upTo a new and brighter morn.In another time, a different land,And be reborn.

  6. Unit 11, Section Two Notes The Holocaust

  7. The Holocaust The Holocaust means “sacrifice by fire.” During the years of the Nazi Germany-led Holocaust, over 6 million Jewish men, women, and children were killed. The Nazis, who came to power in Germany after World War I, believed that Germans were racially superior. They also believed that Jews, were no better than animals and were a threat to German life.

  8. The Extermination of the Jews Jews all over Germany were told to wear golden stars so that everyone could know that they were Jews – and a threat. Then, they were moved to “ghettos” where they were allowed only certain amounts of food and were not allowed to come and go. Finally, Jews were rounded up and sent to concentration camps throughout Europe.

  9. “Work Means Freedom” The Jews were told that if they worked hard, they would be set free, but this was a lie. Many Jews, who were deemed too weak or old, were sent straight to their death in the gas chambers. Others were told to work and were tortured, starved, and eventually killed or released when the Allied Powers invaded Europe.

  10. Disbelief Many people throughout the world were shocked to find out what was going on in Europe. Along with Jews, Gypsies, Catholics, Communists, and other groups were targeted by the Nazis. There were, of course, many German families who tried to help save the lives of those persecuted, but they also feared for their own lives if they were found out.

  11. Remember It is important to remember that this happened not that long ago, so that we can keep history from repeating itself!

  12. Quote from Pastor Niemoller In Germany they first came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me — and by that time no one was left to speak up.
