The Holocaust: Children
built 285 days ago
As with the Armenian case, the Jewish holocaust was launched with an initial genocidal outburst that targeted overwhelmingly males -- partly as a means of acclimatizing the genocidal agents to their tasks. But in neither the Armenian nor the Jewish cases did more than a short time elapse before women were swept up in the worst of the horror. Jürgen Forster's analysis brings out the speed, but ... the stages, by which the holocaust on the eastern front was extended to women. on 11 July 1941. began to include Jewish women and children on 15 August 1941, the Police Regiment Centre only increased the age band for men to be killed to 16-65. Its 3rd Battalion, however, executed sixty-four Jewish women, too, in Minsk on 1 September 1941.

Beloved Holocaust Survivor Solomon Radasky (whose tattooed arm is pictured above) died at age 92 on August 4, 2002. His defining characteristic was courage. He was a hero to his children and grandchildren. He faced the worst and the best in life. His strength, wit and wisdom saw him through. Devoted to his religion he put on tefillin the morning before he died.
