In “A family helped a Holocaust survivor escape death. Then they became his real family” author Emma Bowman explains how one boy's quick thinking and one family’s compassion led to a Holocaust victim’s escape. After being separated from his family, young Philip Lazowski was taken by German soldiers to a marketplace where people were being sorted by who could and couldn’t work, to inevitably be taken to some sort of concentration camp. He noticed that the families with documentation were being spared. He politely asked a woman with two children if he could pass as her son and she agreed, effectively saving his life. Years later, he reconnected with the kind woman and ended up falling in love with her daughter and marrying her.

In the article “Eddie Jaku, Holocaust survivor and self-proclaimed happiest man on Earth dies at 101” we learn about Eddie Jaku and his life as a Holocaust survivor. Eddie Jaku’s experience in the Holocaust like any other person's experience wasn't good. Eddie had been sent to several concentration camps such as Buchenwald, Gurs, and eventually Auschwitz. After the Holocaust, for many years things remained unhappy and torn because of the tragic circumstances. Eddie had even let the Holocaust be a controlling factor in his life, that is until the birth of his first son. Everything changed and Eddie Jaku made promises to himself stating a promise he made “I promised to be happy, smile, be polite, helpful” this shows Eddies strong will.

A strong quote to show the overall idea displayed by this text "It is our duty to see that his story is known by generations to come, for he experienced the very worst, but saw the very best in mankind." This quote shows that Jaku had a big heart and we should continue to honor and spread joy as Jaku did.

In “Auschwitz Survivor Who Fought Racism With Music Dies At 96” the Associated Press at NPR recalls Auschwitz survivor Esther Bejarano’s many accomplishments as she tackled discrimination and racism with her music. The Press includes how music is what saved Bejarano’s life and how she worked with her family in co-founding the Auschwitz Committee to provide other survivors with a platform to voice their stories. Although it is argued that because “it happened, therefore it can happen again”, Bejarano never shied away from making her voice heard. “You are not guilty of what happened back then. But you become guilty if you refuse to listen to what happened,” Bejarano states. And, through her music, she paved the way for stories to be shared and voices to be heard, and she will always be remembered for that.
