Survivor Account: Jeannine Burk
This is another first hand account of someone who witnessed the events of the holocaust, this time as a very small child. Jeannine Burk was born in Belgium in 1939. During the Holocaust, she hid in a woman's house from the ages of 3 to 5 to avoid being captured for being a Jew. Her father was captured and was gassed at Auschwitz. Her mother was allowed to live because she was blonde-haired and blue-eyed, which went against the Nazi stereotypes of Jews.
Survivor Account: Solomon Radasky
Solomon Radasky was born in Poland in 1910. He survived the Warsaw Ghetto and concentration camps after he was captured by Nazis in 1941, the year that his mother and older sister were killed. He was the only person to survive in his family of 78 people. He was in the Warsaw ghetto when the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising began, and was shot that same year, 1943, in the leg by a German soldier. He was then sent to the Majdanek death camp. After a few weeks, he was taken to Auschwitz, and then shipped to various camps. Here are some photos from his story:
This picture is clearly a list of prisoners at Auschwitz, Radasky's name is among them.
This is the number that was tattooed on Mr. Radasky's arm at the death camps during the Holocaust.
This is some sure evidence of the existence of the Holocaust. This picture was taken of corpses of the dead prisoners of these camps in the summer of 1944.

Holocaust Project
The Holocaust was an extremely traumatic event. Those who deny this event are being, in my opinion, absolutely ridiculous and disrespectful. The purpose of this project was to provide evidence that this sorrowful event really did happen. I consulted many sources of first hand accounts of what happened from people who experienced it, as well as picture evidence. I hope that this will discourage those who still chose to deny it.
