[SIGHS]

Well, there were a lot of problems
in Germany at the time,
60
00:05:12,458 --> 00:05:15,994
and Hitler got everyone
to hate Jewish people
61
00:05:16,170 --> 00:05:19,256
by blaming every problem
in Germany on them.
62
00:05:19,424 --> 00:05:22,710
People were hungry,
Hitler blamed the Jews.
63
00:05:22,885 --> 00:05:26,421
People were poor and didn't have jobs,
Hitler blamed the Jews.
64
00:05:26,597 --> 00:05:28,141
Why did everyone believe him?
65
00:05:28,307 --> 00:05:31,428
Simple answer, because it's easier
to blame than take responsibility.
66
00:05:31,602 --> 00:05:35,186
Hitler used one of the most effective
propaganda campaigns ever created.
67
00:05:35,356 --> 00:05:36,638
He convinced people
68
00:05:36,858 --> 00:05:40,109
that there's a struggle going on
between all the races in the world
69
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,646
and that the Jews were trying
to dominate everybody,
70
00:05:42,822 --> 00:05:46,821
so they had to be eliminated.
71
00:05:47,035 --> 00:05:48,993
- You mean killed?
- Yeah.
72
00:05:50,246 --> 00:05:54,292
Simon, his intent was to kill every
person on Earth who was Jewish.
73
00:05:54,459 --> 00:05:56,748
He had other people
in the concentration camps killed
74
00:05:56,919 --> 00:05:59,708
that he considered
enemies of Germany:
75
00:05:59,881 --> 00:06:04,425
Gypsies, Serbs, Polish,
intellectuals, beggars, homosexuals,
76
00:06:04,594 --> 00:06:08,046
Jehovah's Witnesses, anyone
and everyone who opposed the Nazis.
77
00:06:08,222 --> 00:06:10,679
But he singled out the Jews
for extinction.

Six million Jewish people

How did Hitler die?
82
00:06:28,618 --> 00:06:30,742
When he knew Germany
was defeated, he shot himself,
83
00:06:30,912 --> 00:06:33,404
then had someone pour gasoline
over him and set him on fire.
84
00:06:33,581 --> 00:06:37,283
He died like hundreds of thousands
of people he'd had killed.

But how come no one stopped him?
86
00:06:39,921 --> 00:06:44,631
Why didn't the rest of the world
just go in and rescue those people?
87
00:06:44,801 --> 00:06:47,174
Why didn't people do something
to help them?

That's a very good question, Simon.

00:06:49,263 --> 00:06:51,174
People around the world
didn't wanna believe it.

They didn't wanna believe
something so horrible existed,
91
00:06:53,810 --> 00:06:56,384
because then they'd have to
feel guilty for not doing anything.

00:06:56,604 --> 00:06:58,930
Or they were too afraid
to try to do something,

How come you didn't ask her?

That's just not something
you ask about, son.

If she wanted me to know,
she would have found a way to tell me.

It had to have been a horrible,
horrible experience.

you don't really hate me

My report is on the Holocaust,
600
00:35:35,032 --> 00:35:37,358
which is the time when Hitler
became chancellor of Germany

00:35:37,534 --> 00:35:42,244

until World War II ended

on May 8th, 1945.
603
00:35:45,417 --> 00:35:47,956
During this time, an estimated
11 million people were murdered
604
00:35:48,170 --> 00:35:52,169
as a direct result of measures
taken against them by Hitler
605
00:35:52,341 --> 00:35:54,880
and almost 6 million of those people
were Jews.

00:35:55,094 --> 00:35:59,424
My friend, Mrs. Kerjesz,
was just one of those Jewish people

passed down by a friend

00:36:09,108 --> 00:36:11,350
but this is not a story that I can tell.

you'd probably just think I made it up.

my little brother,
623
00:37:11,170 --> 00:37:15,797
from Hungary in 1944.
624
00:37:16,925 --> 00:37:19,762
My older brother was a soldier
625
00:37:19,928 --> 00:37:23,096
fighting for Hungary
on the Russian front,
626
00:37:23,766 --> 00:37:29,307
and my sister was captured by
the SS men right after the occupation.
627
00:37:29,521 --> 00:37:34,184
I arrived in Auschwitz
with my younger brother,

00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:35,819
my mother and my father.
629
00:37:36,028 --> 00:37:41,735

for four and a half days on the train

without sanitary facilities.

where we were being taken.

When we arrived finally somewhere,
the doors opened up.

There were hundreds,
hundreds of people

trying to get off
and pushing each other,
639
00:38:20,239 --> 00:38:26,610
and my father held our hands
so that we would not be separated.
640
00:38:27,538 --> 00:38:31,157
They told us to form two groups.
641
00:38:31,333 --> 00:38:33,493
The men should form one group
642
00:38:34,503 --> 00:38:38,502
and the women and the children
should form another group.
643
00:38:38,674 --> 00:38:43,218
Five months earlier,
my brother turned 13.

00:38:43,387 --> 00:38:45,511
He was bar mitzvahed.

00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,253
That was my decision.
653
00:39:21,842 --> 00:39:24,844
I killed my brother...
654
00:39:27,681 --> 00:39:34,599
...because the group with all
the mothers and all the children...
655
00:39:37,191 --> 00:39:40,691
...were taken directly
to the gas chamber.

00:39:49,787 --> 00:39:54,580
Well, I was looking for my father.
My father.
658
00:39:54,792 --> 00:39:59,336
He was 6-foot-2,
tall man and very strong
659
00:39:59,505 --> 00:40:04,500
and he always knew
what to do in any situation.
660
00:40:07,137 --> 00:40:11,302
But when I saw him,
he was standing there.
661
00:40:11,475 --> 00:40:13,967
And he looked so miserable,
662
00:40:14,144 --> 00:40:19,021
with tears coming down on his face.
663
00:40:19,191 --> 00:40:21,813
I didn't think where I was,
what I was,
664
00:40:21,986 --> 00:40:25,521
I start to run to him.
I didn't know what I wanted.
665
00:40:25,698 --> 00:40:31,452
I... I guess just to comfort him.
666
00:40:32,788 --> 00:40:35,410
The SS man stepped forward
and he stopped me
667
00:40:35,582 --> 00:40:39,083
and started screaming at me
and beating me.
668
00:40:39,253 --> 00:40:42,670
"Go back!
You go back where you belong!"
669
00:40:43,924 --> 00:40:48,587
I had no choice, no.
I had to go back.
670
00:40:48,762 --> 00:40:54,303
So I went where my mother
and my brother stood before.
671
00:40:58,105 --> 00:41:00,348
But they were nowhere.
672
00:41:05,195 --> 00:41:10,617
Well, after this,
they told all the single women
673
00:41:10,784 --> 00:41:15,115
to form a third group
and to step forward.
674
00:41:15,289 --> 00:41:18,326
There was a young SS man
and he was standing.
675
00:41:18,500 --> 00:41:23,792
So he was so relaxed and smiling,
and as we passed him by,
676
00:41:23,964 --> 00:41:30,798
he was waving so,
"Left, right, left, right..."
677
00:41:32,556 --> 00:41:37,515
Later, we found out
that those who were waved left
678
00:41:37,686 --> 00:41:40,522
ended up in the gas chamber.
679
00:41:41,023 --> 00:41:42,352
[SNIFFLES]
680
00:41:42,608 --> 00:41:47,235
We went to the showers.
They told us to take off our clothes.
681
00:41:48,656 --> 00:41:52,072
In the shower, they shaved our hair.
682
00:41:52,242 --> 00:41:56,573
We were standing bald, naked.
683
00:41:56,789 --> 00:41:59,744
I was completely humiliated.
684
00:42:01,543 --> 00:42:05,673
When we came out,
they gave us some rags to wear.
685
00:42:05,839 --> 00:42:13,006
I got a man's shirt with no buttons.
I tried desperately to cover myself.
686
00:42:13,180 --> 00:42:17,261
It was 2:00 in the morning
and very, very cold.
687
00:42:19,186 --> 00:42:23,814
Then the SS came and told us
to go back to our barrack.
688
00:42:23,983 --> 00:42:26,309
We would meet our parents.
689
00:42:27,361 --> 00:42:31,775
When we came there,
naturally, no one was there.
690
00:42:32,533 --> 00:42:35,107
Some of the girls started
to scream, cry:
691
00:42:35,285 --> 00:42:38,702
"Where are my parents?
Where are my parents?"
692
00:42:38,872 --> 00:42:43,120
And then the SS came and said to us,
pointing to the sky:
693
00:42:43,293 --> 00:42:46,746
"Look up. What do you see?"
694
00:42:47,756 --> 00:42:54,839
The sky was black,
heavy with smoke.
695
00:42:57,433 --> 00:42:59,640
And then he said, laughing:
696
00:42:59,810 --> 00:43:02,384
"There are your parents,
697
00:43:04,106 --> 00:43:07,309
and that is where you are going.
698
00:43:09,361 --> 00:43:13,312
The only way out of Auschwitz
is through the chimney."
699
00:43:14,074 --> 00:43:20,279
And that was my arrival
to Auschwitz-Birkenau.
700
00:43:20,456 --> 00:43:27,338
My mother, my father,
my brother, dead.
701
00:43:28,714 --> 00:43:32,760
After the war, I found out
that my older brother and sister
702
00:43:32,926 --> 00:43:34,090
were dead too.
703
00:43:34,303 --> 00:43:36,711
Of my family,
704
00:43:38,807 --> 00:43:42,676
I was the only one who survived.
705
00:43:47,816 --> 00:43:51,685
If only we could stop
hating each other.
706
00:43:56,075 --> 00:43:58,152
If only...
707
00:43:58,202 --> 00:44:02,752
