The Boy From Block 66: A WW2 Jewish Holocaust Survival True Story (Heroic Children of World War II Book 1)

by Limor Regev

The prime ministers of Britain and France were determined to do whatever it took to prevent another outbreak of war, and Hitler took full advantage of that fact.

The almost total collaboration of the Hungarian people and its contribution to the fate of the Jews of Hungary is one of the ugliest stains on the human race in the history of World War II.

1,300,000 people were murdered in the Auschwitz camps - most of them Jews.

I remember thinking to myself, “If we ever get out of here alive, who will believe our story, this crazy reality in which we live?”

General George S. Patton, who headed the 6th Army and whose troops liberated Buchenwald, gathered some 2,000 inhabitants from the nearby town of Weimar, and marched them the few miles that separated their comfortable lives from Buchenwald’s hell. He made them see for themselves the atrocities perpetrated by their government. The residents of Weimar, well dressed and smiling as they entered the camp, are seen in a film produced by the American army, stunned and expressing deep shock.

“I point an accusing finger at all the nations of the world who did nothing to save Jews. Some even tacitly approved of the perpetrators of Hitler’s final solution to eradicate Judaism.”
