ABOUT THE HOLOCAUST:

   
3.

In the 1930's through late 1940's took place the Holocaust era. Anti-Semitism (hatred against Jews) was dated as far back to the 1800's, I didn't start with Adolph Hitler like many believe.

Adolph Hitler (born in Austria 1889) accused the Jews for Germany's loss in 1918(WW1). Shortly after the war ended, Adolph Hitler joined the National Junior Workers' Party.
While in prison for his part in the Beer Hall Putsch (1923) Hitler wrote a propaganda tract "Mein Kampf" which means "My Struggle". Hitler believed the European War would turn out to be "the extermination of the Jewish 'race' in Germany". He was infatuated with the idea of superiority of the "pure" German race in Germany, which he called "Aryan".

GENERAL INFOTMATION ABOUT RESCUERS:

6.

In the decade after, Hitler took advantage of the gullibility of his followers to increase his party's status. Hitler would kidnap people that were believed to be Jewish even if they weren't. The Jewish were sent to concentration camps/ death camps. Six million Jews were murdered during the Holocaust during World War 2 (1939-'45). On September 1, 1939, German Nazis invaded Poland. Hitler wanted to build a Reich (empire) that would last for thousands of years. In almost every speech, Hitler attacked Europe's Jewish people. Hitler compared them to "ver min", classifying them as "subhuman" and an "inferior race". "Eliminate the Jews!" He would exclaim." ...and you will eliminate all of Germany's problems."

7.

In the years 1933-1945 rescuers would work independently, or in groups to rescue Jewish people; hiding them, providing them with false identification papers were all common practices used to rescue in Germany, Poland, and other countries.

8.

Rescuers were not permitted at all during the Holocaust and was punishable by death if anyone was caught doing so. Rescuing was the most dangerous form of resistance. A lot rescuers were teens, with their lives ahead of them. Many acted alone, while others took part in an underground network. Most of the time, rescuers provided medicine, false identification papers, food, and/or shelter. Other times rescuers provided "safe houses" which hid the Jews until the Jews could move to other safe houses. Also, rescuers hid people in barns, attics, underground cellars, even under pig sties.

9.

Rescuers viewed Jews not as the enemies, but as human beings. Every rescue story are unalike, yet rescuers had in common was a combination of awareness, resourcefulness, inventiveness, courage, compassion, empathy, vigilance, and persistence.

Stories of Rescuers:

Nicolas Winton lived in Sudtenland, Ctzechoslavalcia. Nicolas didn't expect Hitler's troops to arrive. Nicolas went around camps and told the people whom the British committee were trying to get out. Winton met up with Doreen Wariner, to rescue children, but the British committee couldn't do anything about it; that's really how it started.

12.

Winton was working on the stock exchange, but when it was over he would work on making arrangements on bringing the children over. He worked from his private home in Hampstead. Reverend Rosalind Lee sent the first hundred pounds to pay for correspondence and everything else acquired.They would put articles in the newspaper saying that they would look after their children until the end of the war. This started to trickle in and people who would take children, so they sent them lists of children, and then they sent these out to Trevor Chadwick in Prague, who arranged transport of getting the children together.

13.

People who were receiving children were to arrive at Liverpool Street Station; however, time really sped up. Germans arrived in March 1939, and they had to exit permits from the Germans for these children to leave. Although most of the children we brought out were Jewish. Winton was only searching for families who look after the children. He wasn't concerned if the children went to Jewish families only due to the fact that he thought those people had been out of Prague were the people were the people that knew what Winton was doing. The chief thing was to save the children. A lot of children weren't happy with where they were sent, but Winton could guarantee each child was sent to homes that were well-treated and happy.

14.

German occupied Denmark, which was the site of the most complete and famous rescue operation in Europe. Approaching the end of summer in 1943, German occupation authorities created martial law in Denmark in response to increasing acts of sabotage and resistance. German police officials had planned to deport the Danish Jews while martial law was in place. On September 28, 1943, a German business-man warned Danish authorities of the upcoming operation scheduled for the night of October 1 or 2, 1943. With the help of their non-Jewish friends and neighbors, nearly all the Danish went into hiding. During the following days, the Danish resistance put together a rescue operation, where Danish fisherman secretly ferried 7,200 Jews (of the country's total Jewish population of 7,800) to safety in neutral Sweden.

15.

Anne Frank:
Another person rescued was Anne Frank. She is widely known across the world as a victim of the Holocaust. She would usually write in her diary and she and her family were hidden by non-Jews in the Netherlands.

16.

Without Rescuers

17.

If it wasn't for rescuers there would be almost little to none of the Jewish population we have today. Rescuers did so many indescribable things that saved thousands and thousands of Jews. In Conclusion, without people that sacrificed their own life to save a Jewish person, the outcome of the Holocaust might not have been the same.
