It was the beginning of spring in 1944 when her suffering began: Irene and her family were forcibly evacuated from her home and brought to Jewish Street in the Jewish ghettos. They left most of their material possessions behind, carrying what their arms could hold, and lived on the floor of a stranger's house. She described that street as "the dirtiest street [she] ever saw", but she was only there for a few weeks before being relocated to a brick factory. They stayed at that factory for five days, building temporary shelters out of bricks and being hit and forced to do tricks like dogs for the pleasure of the German and Hungarian soldiers, before they and the other Jews were loaded onto cattle trains and sent off to Auschwitz-Birkenau. For three days, Irene and her family-- those who were in the cart, her mother, father, three younger sisters and two of her brothers-- traveled to

The Holocaust started in the 1933, when the Nazis and Adolf Hitler took power in Germany. The Holocaust from the Greek words “holos” (whole) and “kaustos” (burned) cause chaos and tragedy for Jewish people. At this time Germany was a nation with a Jewish population of 566,000 people. Nazis thought that they were the most inferior race and no other race was better than the Aryan race. This cause a lot of discrimination and hate against other people based on their beliefs and looks. The Nazis provoked the outbreak of World War II, when they invaded Poland. The Holocaust lasted 12 years and it end it on May of 1945.

The Holocaust was the murder and persecution of approximately 6 million Jews and many others by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. The Nazis came to power in Germany in January of 1933. The Nazis thought that the “inferior” Jews were a threat to the “racially superior” German racial community. The death camps were operated from 1941 to 1945, and many people lost their lives or were forced to work in concentration camps during these years. The story leading up to the Holocaust, how the terrible event affected people’s lives, and how it came to and end are all topics that make this historic event worth learning about.
