Federation of Jewish Child Survivors of the Holocaust We are the Jewish Child Survivors of the Holocaust, persecuted during the Nazi era in ghettos, in camps, in hiding, on the run, or forced to leave Nazi occupied Europe. Our objectives are to represent the interest of the child survivor community and to support each other, to keep alive the memory of the six million Jews - including the 1.5 million children - murdered during the Holocaust, and to pass on our legacy to future generations. We pursue these objectives by telling the stories of our survival, by community interaction, education, and by holding conferences and fighting antisemitism

They were arrested because they were Jewish. Out of all the people there that day, only one person escaped. Forty-two children and five adults were gassed in the extermination camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Two teenagers and the superintendent of the home were put to death by firing squad in Estonia. There was one sole survivor
