Holocaust Survivors by Molly

Moshe

Moshe was born in Hungary. When World War 2 came Moshe ran into the woods and pretended to be not Jewish and hid with gentiles. He pretended to be gentile because partisans hated Jews and he was there when they were abusing and killing Jews. When World War 2 was over he went back to his village and found out most of his family was killed by Nazis. He immigrated to Israel by him self with nothing and started a new life.

Sonia Welis Frenkel

Another survivor of the Holocaust is Sonia Welis Frenkel. During the Holocaust Sonia’s friend told her to steal some cloth to get more bread, that’s when she got caught and a Nazi put a gun in her mouth but when he shot it didn’t go off, but then he hit her on the head and made her leave. That night she was so disturbed that she couldn’t sleep. The next morning when she was sewing uniforms she said her head really hurt so much she could barley see, but if she stopped working they would kill her. After the holocaust she wouldn’t let her family take showers, she actually broke the tap.
