People of the Holocaust
Child survivors of Auschwitz
The large scale of the Holocaust makes it difficult to remember that six million is not just a number, it represents individual lives; and all victims of genocide have a story. Martina and Terrance have asked you to research three people by filling out the Victims and Nazi Leaders Personal Profile Template.
