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.
