Joseph Stalin – 25 million killed a killer twice as big as Hitler
• Stalin’s Purges and Forced Famine [1932-1938]• Stalin systematically killed approximately 25 million people from
1930-1958
• Estimated Death Toll: – 2,000,000 Jews– 5-8 million Ukrainians – 14-15 million Soviet peasants – 10 million political dissidents– The combined tragedy of the Soviet’s political
genocide exceeds even the scope of the Nazi Holocaust.
• Today’s revolts in Chechnya, Georgia and other former republics of the U.S.S.R., have deep roots in the atrocities of the Stalin era.

The smallest ghetto housed approximately 3,000 people. Warsaw, the largest ghetto, held 400,000 people. Lódz, the second largest, held about 160,000.

The Nazis undertook to liquidate the ghettos as they began full implementation of "The Final Solution to the Jewish Question" in 1942. Massive deportations of Jews to concentration and death camps continued until the summer of 1944. By that time, almost all of the ghettos had been liquidated.

Most Germans were not soldiersMost Germans were not Jews
Most Germans did not dieMost Germans just watched
Mr. Mulford
The average German citizen watched the Jewish people and others go from being boycotted, to being herded into Ghetto’s and then shipped off to concentration camps. Only at the end did they understand the full impact, and then still some could not believe the Holocaust had actually happened.

Indifference is not so much a gesture of looking away--of
choosing to be passive--as it is an active disinclination to feel.
Indifference shuts down the humane, and does it
deliberately, with all the strength deliberateness
demands. Indifference is as determined--and as forcefully
muscular--as any blow.
Cynthia Ozick

First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out
because I was not a communist.Then they came for the socialists, and I did not
speak outbecause I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the labor leaders, and I did not speak out
because I was not a labor leader.Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak
outbecause I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me, and there was no oneleft to speak out for me.
The Reverend Martin Niemöller, a pastor in the German Confessing Church who spent seven years in a concentration camp.

Rescuers are those who, at great personal risk, actively helped members of
persecuted groups, primarily Jews, during the Holocaust in defiance of Third Reich policy. They were ordinary people who
became extraordinary people because they acted in accordance with their own belief
systems while living in an immoral society. Thousands survived the Holocaust because of the daring of these rescuers. Although in
total their number is statistically small, rescuers were all colossal people.

RESCUE STEPSFirst, a rescuer had to recognize that a
person was endangered Next, rescuers had to decide whether or
not to assume the responsibility of helping and risk the potential consequences
Lastly they took action!

There are 350,000 experts who just want to be useful with the remainder of their lives. Please
listen to the words and the echoes and the ghosts. And please teach
this in your schools.

Inner Exile: Life in Hiding Life in hiding from the Nazis was a daily
struggle. Those hidden lived in constant terror of being discovered.
People in hiding were discovered frequently. The consequences of being found for hiders and those hiding them
were grave, often resulting in brutal death at the hands of special police
squads.

Exile: Flight in and through EuropeMany survivors either sensed the danger
awaiting them if they stayed in their hometowns across Europe, or were
forced to leave their homes. For those who left, it often meant that they
would see their friends and relatives for the last time. Life in exile was full of
fear and uncertainty.

Death Factories and Forced Labor The chances of surviving the war in any of the
Nazi death, concentration, or labor camps were slim to none. Those who did survive are
the sole witnesses to the horrors put into action behind the barbed electric fences
surrounding Nazi compounds. Their stories remind us of the atrocities humans are
capable of when led to believe those who are different from them are sub-human or
otherwise undesirable.
