Im walking through the museum right now, but its just hard enough to walk around.I see all the exhibits and though you may hear this so many times, i cannot believe what these people have had to go through. Im sorry for those who've had to go through this. For any survivors who might read this note, your story is not forgotten, to everyone actually. I am really interested in learning more from any holocaust survivor who would'nt mind. I have had one holocaust survivor come to my school, i very much apreciated it but I would've wanted to hear more.I've cried so much today hearing everyone's stories. Thank you to anyone who has shared and/or contributed to all of this. My family and I have really loved being here and taking it all in. May God bless you!

My Grandmother "Bubbie", Gizi (Rosenburg) Mark recently passed on 10-10-08. Gizi was a survivor of Auschwitz. I have never before met someone as courageous and strong willed as Gizi. I remember growing up as a child and asking my bubbie why she had a tattoo on her arm? She would tell me more and more details as I matured. I can remember the stories she would tell as tough as some of them were. I'm gratefull that Gizi told her stories not only to my family but to this museum, for all to share and never forget! I look forward to hearing her recorded stories again and most of all seeing and hearing her voice. Thank you to the initiatives of the museum and Gizi for blessing all of us with her depiction of her accounts of this tragic time in history.

Hello, my grandmother, Ester Rachel Mliczkiewicz (Mars) Bauman, is a survivor of the Holocaust. She was born in Ryki, Poland in 1924. In 1939 she was deported to a forced labor camp in Germany. She was liberated by the russians in 1945. Her parents, brothers and sisters were shot dead by the Nazis. Her paternal family inmigrated to Montreal, Canada, before the War. In 1946 she went to Canada and in 1947 she inmigrated to Barranquilla, Colombia, where she married. Now she is 84 years old, and all days she remember the way she suffered and how she lost her family.

Listening to the personal accounts of the holocaust survivors brought life to the history I've learned in class and hebrew school over the years. I feel honored to be able to hear a dying breed of truly heroic people tell of the the horrific tragedies that were brought upon them. Listening to Marsha Kreuzman speak about her years of torment and her experience in 5 different concentration camps was truly shocking. Her stories make me feel so grateful to live in the era I do today where I can be Jewish without fear of prosecution. Her story of being in the camps with Anne Frank was also incredible.

I lost many cousins during the Holocaust, in addition to my great grandmother who I am named after. We will always remember those relatives and the family we never had as a result of that loss. They are with us every day in all we do.

It was a very touching night. I've been left with images of the horrors of Nazi Germany before, but only through texts and pictures, which fail to impart the true devastation caused. It was a learning experience.

My grandfather’s parents were originally from Italy and moved to Bolivia between 1940 to 1945. My father has no background information regarding his grandparents or why they moved. I would like to know if there’s and records with last name Calvi.
