The Holocaust death camps constitute a nightmarish reality forthose
wo passed through their gates and who, for the most part, never returned.
everyone is familiar However, there millions of Jews who suffered through
terrible hardship oppression an lived outside the barbed wire fences.
Millions were kept in the ghettos, and many of them were taken off to the
death camps.

-from a monument in the Warsaw Ghetto
A Polish Jew lights 11 memorial candles - one for each member
of
her family that was killed in the Shoah. She honours the memory
of her two parents, her husband, her brother, her three sisters, and her
children.
Jesse Gold, Helen Finder-Guttman and Shuki look on
as Henry and the Madrichim talk to two Polish survivors.
The Rappaport Monument in Warsaw
Our heroes: Two Polish survivors, Anita, and Roman. Their
legacy
is - and will always be- one of hope and courage.
Anita is reunited with the daughter of the Polish family that
hid her
from the Germans during they war. Many Poles risked their
lives to harbour "hidden children" during the time of the Holocaust.
