Our Testimonies

The years between 1933 and 1945 found more than six million innocent Jews persecuted tortured and murdered by the wicked Nazis and their ruthless accomplices.But tens of thousands of brave Jews miraculously escaped the Nazi inferno. The same unwavering faith and determination that kept them going through the darkest days was their guiding light to make a fresh new start after the war. Many of these survivors arrived in North America where they settled down found jobs and raised beautiful families.This booklet is not merely another Holocaust memoir. Its the undertaking of a descendant of two of those survivors. Eleven-year-old Arielle Pfefer from Teaneck New Jersey took it upon herself to record for the sake of history the horrifying testimonies of her great-grandparents.Arielle didnt stop there. She encouraged her peers to interview their own grandparents or great-grandparents and document their testimonies of suffering and survival. This project became a source of unique connection between these youngsters and the last survivors of the Holocaust.May this work be a lasting proof of the Nazi atrocities and the resilience of the eternal Jewish spirit.
