We use the term Holocaust to describe the period in which the Nazis persecuted and murdered the Jewish people along with homosexuals, Roma, and anyone they deemed unfit, including those who were part of the resistance. While there are many stories of famous people who had family members who lived during the Holocaust, there are very few stories of those who survived. Many folks survived by escaping Nazi occupation early on, while others managed to live through one or more concentration camps.
