The German invasion of Poland in 1939 gave the Nazis the opportunity to implement their master plan to eliminate Europe's Jews. Part of the plan encompassed confining the Jews in a restricted area of Warsaw to make their survival difficult, followed by mass transportation of survivors to concentration camps, where they were killed. The Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto did not go quietly to their deaths but engaged in armed resistance. This riveting volume describes the ghetto's daily life--the people's extraordinary efforts to survive under horrendous circumstances--and the events that led to the uprising and the ghetto's 1943 destruction.

A Mother's Diary: Surviving the Holocaust in Ukraine, 1941-1944 available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. It is now a little over seventy years since our mother, Sosia Gottesfeld, finished her diary which describes how she, her husband and small child survived the holocaust in Ukraine from 1941 through 1944. The handwritten Yiddish notebook was translated into English shortly after her death in 1990, and the original is now in the Yad Vashem Archives in Jerusalem, in record group 033/1224. The diary describes the conditions under which Jews lived in after the German occupation in 1941 in Skala, a town then on the Eastern border of Poland. Initially, though harassed, brutalized, and systematically degraded with many murdered by the Germans, they still were a community. That changed with the first pogrom in September 1942, when the Germans swept into town and in collaboration with the Ukrainian militia seized all the Jews they could catch. After numerous killings in the streets, the captive Jews were sent to labor or extermination camps. Those who escaped had hid in bunkers, dug outs, and forests. Shortly thereafter, Skala was declared Judenrein (free of Jews). The diary vividly describes going into hiding and the daily torments, hunger, and fear of being discovered by the neighboring Ukrainian villagers, the Ukrainian militia, or German patrols. Every day was filled with apprehension. My sister and I are publishing this diary to honor our parents' memory but also to inform their descendants of what happened not so long ago. -- Daniel Zimmerman and Vivian Zimmerman Furman-Rubin

Download and read online ebook And I Burned with Shame write by Ona Šimaitė. This book was released on 2007. And I Burned with Shame available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. An English version of a letter sent by Šimaitė in 1945 from Lyon, France, to New York, to the leftist political activist and author Isaac Steinberg. The letter is a testimony of events of the Holocaust in Lithuania. It describes the first days of the Nazi occupation of Vilna, forced labor, wanton murders of Jews and, later, the ghettoization of Vilna's Jews and the mass murders. Šimaitė, a librarian at Vilnius University, was able, under the pretext of collecting unreturned books, to visit the ghetto. She also travelled to occupied Kovno in the summer of 1941, where she visited the Jewish neighborhood of Slobodka. In September 1941, Šimaitė joined an illegal leftist organization which aimed to help Jews. She deplores the behavior of Lithuanians, some of whom took part in murdering Jews and many of whom appropriated Jewish property. At the same time, many Lithuanian intellectuals tried to defend Jews vis-à-vis the authorities or rescued them. Dwells on the fate of some Jewish individuals and families under the occupation, including the Lichtensteins, Gershon Malakiewicz, and the Trupianskis. Pp. 7-16 contain an introduction by Šukys. Šimaitė (1894-1970) was born in Akmenė to a Catholic family. During the Nazi occupation she rescued a number of Jews and helped many others. Šimaitė was arrested by the Gestapo and sent to Dachau and then to a camp in France. After the war she settled in Paris.
