Holocaust

By: Blake Paxton

The Holocaust was ...

When the Nazis were at their worst to us. The Nazis took family's, children, and loved ones. They took them to prison camps where they were, beaten or even killed and yet, they haven't even got sent to the death camps. Death camps were worse than prison camps, death camps where they were whipped so hard for absolutely no reason and killed.

Bialystok Children - In August 1943 the Nazis had entered the Bialystok ghetto in Poland with tanks and guns and wiped out the 40,000 Jews living there. The small group of surviving children were then taken, heavily gaurded, to Terezin. On the day of their arrival, all the inmates were orderd indoors and forbidden to look out. The children were half starved, dirty, and very frightend.
