Ruth explains how one minute her life was almost perfect. Until Hitler cut Czechoslovakia up, as Ruth says “Starting in '38, when Hitler cut Czechoslovakia up, almost immediately, my dad's business was taken away. And in '44, as soon as Hitler marched into Budapest, we were told to leave our houses and go to a ghetto”. From there on, Ruth explains the process of which she went through and what she would see. When people were boarding trains, Ruth saw her favorite Biology Teacher get shot because she refused to get on the train. They were on the train for 4 days before they arrived at Auschwitz. Cohen says even though she went through all those terrible things, she never lost hope, hope is the one thing that can help you survive.

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.]]> 2022-04-04 14:05:39 UTC https://padlet.com/kbraswell3/o9bv3oqd1z0b7u2v/wish/2128719239 The Associated Press. “Auschwitz Survivor Who Fought Racism With Music Dies At 96” ~Antonia Vital https://padlet.com/kbraswell3/o9bv3oqd1z0b7u2v/wish/2128719366 The article, “Auschwitz Survivor Who Fought Racism With Music Dies At 96”, tells the story of Esther Bejarano; a Jewish woman who survived the horrors of the Holocaust. She was born in 1942 and lived a sheltered, happy life with her parents and sister until Nazis invaded and took over the city her family called home, French occupied Saarbruecken. Her family was killed, and young Bejarano was sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where she was forced to do heavy labor. She decided to join an all girls orchestra, and played the accordion for arriving Jews who were being shipped from Europe to the camp. Because of her family having Christian background, she was eventually transferred to a different camp, and ended up surviving. Bejarano continued making and playing music, and she teamed up with her children to sing traditional Jewish songs and spread messages of anti-racism to young Germans. She died peacefully at age 96 in the Jewish Hospital in Hamburg, Germany.]]> 2022-04-04 14:05:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kbraswell3/o9bv3oqd1z0b7u2v/wish/2128719366 Eddie Jaku, Holocaust survivor and self-proclaimed happiest man on Earth dies at 101- Trent Conner cconn5779 https://padlet.com/kbraswell3/o9bv3oqd1z0b7u2v/wish/2128728293 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.

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. ]]> 2022-04-04 14:11:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kbraswell3/o9bv3oqd1z0b7u2v/wish/2128732337
