For me it is unfathomable to even imagine what the victims of the Holocaust had to endure. I don’t think I would have the strength to persevere and yet there were those who did. They did not give up hope and just kept going.
Below are just some pictures of those who despite everything looked evil in the eye and bravely fought for their lives.
