How Did Children Survive The Holocaust

During the Holocaust, 1.5 million children were killed when they arrived in cantankerous killing centers; killed immediately after birth, dying after not decorous medical experiments, dying from starvation and diseases. Many have survived because of the help of people or because of their own strength. Many innocent children had been involved in the Holocaust. Some had been on Kindertransports, some have died in camps, and some had been in orphanages. Children who were kept away from the Holocaust were called “Hidden Children”. A nine-year-old girl, Judith Pinczovsky, survived the Holocaust because of the strength of her mother. After the war, children had to start their lives over with parents or without.
