The Holocaust

 Fanny Aizenberg 
Fanny was born in Lodz, Poland in 1916.
Fanny started in the resistance by hiding Jews
in her attic. After a little bit of hiding Jews in
her attic, she and her mother were beat by
the Gestapo after getting caught with Jews in
her attic. Fanny was taken to the
Mechelen (transit camp) and then taken to
the famous concentration camp Auschwitz.
She was selected for medical experiments
and a group of 6 people helped her get
through all of it. She also was forced to work
in a German grenade factory. When Fanny
was forced on a death march, she heard
about the Russians liberating a camp close to
her and she had hope of being liberated and
later on she was liberated. After she was
liberated, she didn't become anything
significant. She was one of the few to be
reunited with her husband and her daughter.

David Bayer
David Bayer was born on September 22,
1927, in Kozienice, Poland. When Bayer was
working, his family was taken and headed
for a killing center. It was Bayer's 20th
birthday when his family was taken. 8 days
after his family was taken, a bombardment
was taking place in his town, so he ran and
hid in a forest and when it was over, all his
stuff was destroyed or taken by the Nazis.
Bayer was captured and put back with his
family and then his entire family was forced
into a ghetto. When his ghetto was
liquidated, Bayer and his family were
deported to a killing center, but Bayer was
smuggled back to the ghetto to help clean it
up.

Gestapo (German police). Auschwitz was the

most famous concentration camp and not
for a good reason. Around 1.1 million people
perished within its wall in just under the 5
years that it existed which was from 1939-
1945. Concentration camps were used for
free labor to help manufacture things like
guns and grenades. The Jews that were sent
to concentration camps often died from
execution or malnourishment because they
barely had any food or water.
Ghettos
Ghettos were not as bad as concentration
camos but were still horrendous to live in.

they were captured. Once the Jews were in the

ghettos, they were punished, and they were
worked but not executed as much. Jews that
were in ghettos were malnourished. Also,
people were so desperate to escape that they
dug tunnels and just ran out of the gate, and
they risked getting shot on the spot. Ghettos
were made of raided or destroyed town and
after the war many people went back to the
ghettos to rebuild.
