“Of 900 Jews in our district, only 28 survived. From my mother’s family of nine, only two lived. On my father’s side, only one uncle survived after witnessing his own family murdered. I imagine the huge family we should have had. Instead, I sit alone in silence.” — Holocaust Survivor Mariya.

“An old man gave my mother my father’s gold crown, saying it would save us. She traded it for potatoes that kept us fed. His children were gone, only ashes left. Neighbors gathered, weeping and embracing us. In shared grief, our hearts felt just a little lighter.” — Holocaust Survivor Mariya.

“When we finally returned home, there was only ash—our house, our grandparents, our relatives all gone. My mother lifted her hands to the sky and cried, “Why must the elderly and children suffer?” And we cried with her.” — Holocaust Survivor Mariya Anatolievna.

“While evacuating, I wandered toward a sunflower in a field. A man suddenly began shooting at me, yelling “Yudeh.” My mother threw herself over me, cursing him in Yiddish as he kept firing—and every shot missed us. I survived, and now I write this to you.” — Holocaust Survivor Mariya.

“After the Germans came, they burned a red flag—and threw Jewish men, women, and children into the fire. We hid. Mother’s breast bled from feeding the baby to keep her quiet. When we returned, our home was looted. Soon, we were forced into the ghetto.” — Holocaust Survivor Niusia Volkovna

Autumn 1943: 2-year-old Shulamit and her mother escaped their ghetto. Rescuers Antanas, Lione & Marija risked everything, hiding her in a convent. On its wall hangs her portrait—braids, folded hands, and a Star of David. Their courage calls us to always choose what is right.

During the Holocaust, it was a crime punishable by death to help a Jewish person. Still, hundreds of Christians and others risked their own lives and those of their families to save people simply because “It was the right thing to do.” Hear Grigoriy's story of how 3 Christian women saved his life.
