Too cute! Little Alida Baruch a few months old, taken shortly before she was deported with her parents to Auschwitz on July 16th, 1942. So sad - let us never forget.
God will remember her and the millions that died.
We are the ones who NEED to remember so it will not happen again. If god had remembered her a little earlier, she might still be here.
God has nothing to do with it .Its the evil gits and rot thats destroying little Families back then and is still going on today there is no excuses just pure evil.
Go away with "god" ... Obviously god took a vacation while the holocaust was going on ...
To ^^ It wasn't Gods fault that Hitler and his group did what they did to the Jewish. It was Satan who planted his evil seed into them. God is Love and Peace and the maker of all mankind. God set Satan lose so we could see what he can do, and yes we need to remember, so it won't happen agan.
... But I thought "God" was absolute power? Created the life and the world we (and Hitler ) live on? Where was God when those very lives he helped "Create".. were being destroyed? Keep your God opinions to yourself. You only speak these words to comfort yourself. It's all fairy tale!
Personally I find that attributing the cause of atrocities to the people who commit them, and the thread that helps when nothing makes sense and there is no reason to hold on for those experience them, that thread I attribute to God and the divine spark of the human will, and maybe even a little bit of sheer luck. Either way I'm sure words of any type served as little solace no matter how well intended.
God gave man and women the freedom to make our own decisions and w/ that are consequences. Yes God could control everything to make it a perfect world but then people would 1 take advantage of him as they do now, and as did Satan when he was an angel in heaven. And 2nd God is saving the perfect world for those who truly believe in him. And I don't think its right for you to bash people who believe in God its our belief and I feel if you do not agree you just keep scrolling
Everyone seems to want to do away with God, until they need Him. All these horrific happenings are the result of SIN that started with Eve tempting Adam with the forbidden fruit. Just as all the bad that happens comes from sin and the Devil. Yes, one day God will remember those children and He will also remember the murderers. He will deal with you and me...with all justly.
I think people need to read the bible and stop spouting nonsense about god doing anything.. the god who told the children of Israel to slaughter people and take their land, except they usually got to keep the young girls, is a made up thing ...
If there is a God and he allowed that to happen he's no one that I'd want in my life!
Wow, well said Susan Crouse. No disrespect to Tammy, but Susan's comment does it for me.
God gave man freedom of choice and as this proves some were horrible men. I do believe God will remember those that perished and we will see them again.
I visited Auschwitz recently. The room that showed all the children's pictures was very haunting and overwhelming. I broke down crying when I started reading how many arrived and how few were liberated. Truly horrifying!
Yes, killing a baby a 6 and a half months old - unimaginable.

Birkenau was shocking for me because it was so beautiful. Amazingly serene and gorgeous countryside that hid these horrors. The train tracks were so close to the chambers....the platform was not far from the "showers". I was shocked at how close everything was, how you could not avoid the smell, how you could not avoid the sights/sounds. You never forget a trip like that I wish more could experience it.
This is on my bucket list to do.....I don't know why, I just feel drawn to go and see for myself what happened and try to understand why?
You should! It brings a whole other level of understanding and connection to humanity. You can't quite explain what happens.
It had the same effect on me! According to the Nazi plan, by 1950 Europe would be rid of Jews. Auschwitz would be converted into a vacation spot. That's why it was set in such a beautiful area. Yes, we must never, ever forget.
A so lovely baby.... :-(
She is in the sunshine that shines on us. The roses so beautiful. The water that flows so gentle . The blue, blue sky.
So very sad. Prayers that they all may rest in peace.
An angel... Let us never forget their suffering.
Anytime I hear or read about that time period, it makes me sick. I just can't beleave that somebody can b that sick in the head.
Genocide is still with us folks
That doesn't make what happened to this poor girl less horrifying.
You are right Megan, but sadly Gerry is right, and we have no control over any of it. After the 2nd world war, I seem to remember being taught that we should never forget ,so it would never happen again. It's very hard to understand such evil and cruelty, but I guess we have to accept human nature as it really is, because it has never stopped, we just hear more about it now.
Yes it is - just such greed and power hungry. Evilness still lives here. The good needs to stand up & outshine the darkness - need brave people.
What a beautiful precious face. In God's hands now!
too bad she couldn't have been in his hands while she was alive.
What kind of a feral beast kills an innocent baby? How could so many jump onto the Nazi bandwagon? Were they all so depraved? Or are humans born so, only waiting for the opportunity to do evil?
The world is still trying to answer these questions. I wonder that if after the war, we thought we could prevent this kind of thing happening again, because it was a situation we had never come across before. We thought it was unique, and maybe it was, but we are now ,because of the media, aware that this brutality is worldwide. As usual, the innocent suffer because of the men in power, or the men who want to be in power.
God will do justice on guilty parties a lot better than humans can
She looks so cute but what a horrible ending. RIP in peace little one .
My heart breaks for all those who suffered and perished,,and those who suffered and survived !! Horrible, HORRIBLE time....
God has blessed all the people's who were victims of this madmans atrocities. RIP, sweet baby.
Mans inhumanity to man
People haven't learned a thing from the horrifying Holocaust. Look at how many, even in our own government, are criticizing Israel for defending itself from terrorists. They couldn't care less if Israel, which really became a state due to the many homeless Jews created by that same Holocaust, ceased to exist.
Tears for those lives lost .. praying we never forget.
So many people forget that babies were sent to the concentration camps and the ones that didn't go to the camps, the Nazis would put them into burlap bags and toss them up into the air and shoot them like skeet targets.
Beautiful child. Rest in peace, Alida, and Mr. and Mrs. Baruch.
Doesn't bear thinking about what might have happened to her.
Could never forget!!!!
She looks like the Gerber baby logo. So sad she didn't live through the war, I guess a Cherub was made that day.
@\âŹ:°~(

That is sad. The horrors of the concentration camps must always be remembered or else history will repeat itself.
How dare we forget! So many beautiful innocent babies and thousands of young children, the men and women who were SLAUGHTERED. To forget has and will allow this atrocity to raise it's ugly head over and over. We have to fight to keep this demonic practice from wiping out another generation. It is creeping forward and we (yes we) have allowed it. Why?
glad someone still had this picture of this beautiful child, its so sad.
Gorgeous and innocent baby. May you rest in eternal peace with your parents...
We must ALWAYS REMEMBER that SATAN/DEVIL comes in many forms! Too many lives were lost!
we must never forget the millions that died in those years of hell GOD BLESS YOU ALL XXX
let us never Forget - I hope for a better world now - as so many People die in war in the Moment, I always thought human beings would have leant more through history - my deep hopes are for a better world, even now where we live in -- let us never Forget !!!
Oh how sweet! Bless her & her family for they are with God!
My heart explodes with sadness that this evil continues even today.
They are still killing the innocent today it has never really stopped these people are murdering thugs they should all be dropped down a volcano see how they like it .
pictures like this make me cry. so glad her memory was preserved in a photo so everyone can never forget this atrocity
Never forget and he'd a tear for the victims of the holicaust.
Baby is so beautiful! Such a horrible thing to have been murdered in a death camp as so many were. A great evil was at work in the world then.
They are all in heaven.....and God knows each one by name.
This is beyond sad that this beautiful child and her family were sent to this awful place to be tormented, starved, and, probably killed. Makes me want to cry forever.
I love these pictures, but mostly love the story behind them!
Beautiful baby its horrific thinking about the hell on earth she and millions more were murdered .
Is there any record of this baby actually dying ?because I heard that a lot of the infants were given to childless German families
What a beautiful child. An angel. What we do to one another because of religion, skin color or even mentally disabled. God will not forget.
How incredibly sad. But it is so important to put names and pictures to the victims of the terrible Holocaust. Thank you. May we always remember.
Sad a bad time in those days. The Germans were heartless people.
Heartbreaking. Poor innocent beautiful baby, now safe with God.
Very sad to think of this... she would have been about the same age as my Mom; she was born in March of that same year. Makes you wonder what kind of life she would have led.
I will never understand why they did this to children and babies!!!!!! Monsters!!!!!!
Very sad indeed wondering what she would have become if let to live. We will never forget what happened to thousands of them.
Makes me sick what the nazis could have done to that baby. I heard they used them as target practice. She is in God's hands now.
So sweet she is now with God with her family. She and others will never be forgotten, God does not forget or forsake his children, of what is of Him.
All will be forever remembered,may they all rest in peace!
So sad. I have watched documentaries and cannot believe how brutal and heartless it was. I can feel it when watching, as a mother has her children and husband taken from her. This should never ever happen again.
So horrible what happened to this precious little baby and her family! And all the other poor families under the Nazis regime!
I cry thinking about the horror that evil Hitler put these angels of God through. God has vengeance on all of the torturers.
Alida was exceptionally beautiful. She's an angel now and everything is perfect.
So many innocent lives lost horribly during the Nazi terror! May God help us from that happening ever again -- though for many, similar tragedies are happening now.
So many died horribly, just because of the way they wanted to worship. This is the reason we should not let our current government tell us to give up our second amendment rights. This kind of thing could easily happen again if we have no way to fight back.
I don't know how anyone does that to one so innocent. Hatred and fear, I guess.
We never learn do we. Humans are forever capable of extreme acts of compassion and horrific atrocities. I'll never understand why it has to be this way.
While traveling I avoided Auschwitz with horror...I didn't want my aura/personna/essence to breathe the air, walk on the ground, be in the place of heinous horror....one look at this child expresses my sorrow. May she be forever in heaven with God and Paradise for all eternity....
[external link] sad to lose so many innocent people...such a blot on human history
Luz Raquel Arce wow!!! Mira esa foto y dime a quien se parece y en que foto!?đ
Too sad.....but one has to ask why so many mothers and fathers allowed themselves to be parted from their children, or in some cases to be killed in front of their eyes. True, they were unarmed, but if death is certain or likely, then there is nothing to lose by some resistance, however token. Worse than death in any case is to be parted from your children and see them suffer. I know that I speak from the comfort of 70 years hindsight and, thank God, different times, but the thought stays with me as a question: what would I have done?
Que criatura mas hermosa...... Pobrecito y pobres sus padres. Es horrible pensar en lo que injustamente han sufrido.
I don't care how many years go [external link] is as horrifying now as then I will always break my heart and enrage my soul...such a sad sad time in history We must make every effort to NEVER let such a thing happen again
Ah so precious, how can anyone harm one of them! So sad
I Googled her to see if there was any more information....apparently they murdered her 2 days after her arrival. :(
I pray people "never forget" but I fear it is too late for that.
Please open your eyes other countries are still doing very much the same thing . Worship their way or die. What is being done now, it is the U.S. that ends up in the fight and we are hated by countries we helped.
Robert Coleman, you insensitive idiot. Those men and women had no idea that death was certain or likely when they were herded up, most of the time in the middle of the night, and separated, men with men, women with women and children with children. If they showed any kind of resistance, they were shot. And not just them, the person on their left and the person on their right. All they were told was that they were going to another working camp. Why would they resist? You really should do some reading before making an insensitive remark like that. It could very well strike the centre of the heart of a concentration camp survivor.
What a precious baby girl. Hope you had a better life with parents.
My dad took me and my sister to Auschwitz and several other sites, sadly I was too young to understand the haunting sadness of it all.. this was back in 1968..
A shameful, terrible period of our history. How could anyone think this was the right thing to do!!!!
What a horrible thought about this beautiful child, and thousands of others.
So so sad and its still happening in some parts of world evil people
This precious baby is in a far better place and with God eternally
Never forget....what humans are capable of.....Even now it is still happening....will we never learn?
Like her, not the story. I guess you can't hide from the truth
This shows how evil people can have power, and yet there is a God, and he is a good God, and he will judge these evil people. Rest with God little one. God bless
I think what is scary is that my generation (I am 51) has had the opportunity to know and talk to WWII veterans and victims. It is true that if history is forgotten it will be repeated. The people who survived it will all be gone in the not too distant future. It will be up to us and our children, and so on, to remember and pass it down. I think the further we get from it the less impact and believability there will be. People need to keep this horrific part of our history real. It needs to be taught in history classes , we need to tell the stories we've heard. God help us if we don't
Thank Heaven for Photos, to keep this baby and others who were killed, alive. Memories are in these photos, baby Alida, was a little child lost as , 1000s more. With this picture we have record,she was here!! Now touching OUR Lives, as Ann Frank Remembered with her Diary. They Will NEVER be Forgotten!! They live on in OUR Hearts!!
this is sad. , horrific, Bless this baby and all who suffered and died. peace to them.
No y'all need to quit blaming or pointing towards gods or ur devil drop the fairy tale people r evil or good n can change any second stop trying to pin it on something u can't prove or see people kill people n do evil not ur imagination or beliefs just like people kill people not guns stop fukin looking for something or someone to blame take responsibility or ur race for its action close our fairy tale
sad period in american history....or maybe a sick period...we are all earthlings ...Love one another....while we can...
So sad. I am glad Uncle Hubert shot the SS bastards when he was liberating the death camps. They allowed the regular German troops to surrender but they told SS troops to take off running, that was better chance than they had given the folks in the camps. They then used the SS for target practice. He is 91 years old now and says that he feels no guilt about shooting them.
never will forget! i also visited auschwitz; cried like a baby through the tour. the horror of it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i just hope that bastard hitler didn't 'turn to god' and will n.o.t. be admitted to heaven!
How horrible. That was a time we need to remember. Too many died...all ages.
It was the sickest, vilest and most egregious act in modern human history. The issue of anti-semitism is once again resurfacing in Europe and the flames of hate against Israel are being stoked by Muslims.
I cannot comprehend any humans allowing the directives of a madman (Hitler) compel the German citizens and military to follow through with such a violent perversion against one race of people.

It's even more horrible to see that this child almost died in vain, in a sense that the lesson still isn't learned right now :-( #gaza #rwanda
What a precious, beautiful baby; it's hard to believe how evil the Nazis were to do this, and yet it's the truth. Still shocking all these decades later.
So sad and horrible because alot of woman and children were sent to their death so she was im sure one of them. I look at my sleeping children and this breaks my heart.
The Christians in the middle east countries are under similar threat even now.
I've toured that dreadful place. They killed so many innocent lives. :'(
life is so unfare at times I read that and the pain shoots to my heart and I feel sick I have a very small family and that's [external link] great uncle max was in so called Palestine in 1934. look at that face take away the identity COULD U KILL THIS BABY THE ANSWER IS NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
It is important for all of us to remember these horrible genocides, and they still occur today unfortunately.
We must never forget. The world is moving in the wrong direction. Love must be stronger than hate.
She is a reminder of how one person can influence the way others think and annihilate another race .
Evil wicked acts, should never of been allowed to happen, what was wrong with people not to stop this wicked and vile catastrophy to ever happen!!!!!!!!
Man's inhumanity to man make countless thousands mourn ( Robert Burns). How very true!
Beautiful baby ....God has his arms around this children
God didn't do this ! The powers of evil in this world caused this and millions of atrocities. God gives free will.
Thank you for posting this, as well as your comment.
Aww beautiful baby we will never forget xx
Ha de haber sido algo terrible. Una desesperaciĂłn por querer salvar la vida de tus hijitos. Dios los tenga en su gloria. OjalĂĄ que la humanidad recordara esto. ContinĂșan las guerras y muertes de tanto inocente. Hasta cuando?
Awwww ..... I love the little "spit" curl. Very sad - this stuff is still happening. Time for Jesus to come home already. :(
I took two if my Girl Scout troops there so that that generation would know what happen and not believe the people who say the genicude didn't 'to happen. We were in tears !
As a Jewish woman, thank you for remembering her! I have spent the last few years ensuring that Holocaust victims are remembered. Than you!
Talk about a god if there was a god why did he let this happen
It makes me weep to think that she wasn't the only one. If she had been it would have been terrible, but as it was, she was one of 1.5 million children murdered by Hitler. Ultimately Hitler must carry the responsibility. May all of these children rest in peace.
Its so sad and horrifying!!! This beautiful Angel and so many many more.
I could not imagine babies that young being killed by cruelty. But, now God knew that they were going to be in Heaven with Him. I think the reason why they didn't allow Jewish children to live because they were afraid they would multiply more when they grow older. Reason why most Jews were hated by the Germans [although half of Germany had nothing against the Jews] because it was against their culture to believe in Christ-but I believe Hitler and his Nazis used that just for an excuse. Even teaching it to their children. Never the less it was true. But Hitler and his Nazi troops were against Christ also. Half of the German Christians had nothing against the Jewish. Half of them were against the Nazi party.
I have heard many times Hitler and his Nazis did lie and say they were from a Christian nation and they believed in Christ. But then it turned out, they wanted to murder the Christians also.
R.I.P. all peoples who are killed in auschwitz. Damn hitler.
It was such an evil situation. You wonder why people can be so cruel to each other and especially to innocence.
So sad, but the thought that she went straight to Jesus' arms is a comfort.
1942 is not ancient. Let us get our years correct. Look up the word ancient and then use that as a guideline. Thanks.
Poor little baby girl. She was just an innocent baby. What is wrong with people. You are in Heaven with you Mommy and Daddy.
This child was so beautiful and innocent, just like all the other children that were murdered. And it is still happening. How can anyone forget this?
Or the American Indians, The African Americans, women, fat people, the Japanese, and the list goes on and on since the beginning of our history.
Lest we forget
I've tried to post this twice on this site - but it goes off to the side where no one can actually see it. Here's a touching story about a man who rescued children before they could be sent to concentration camps. Take a look:
Agree with Gerry Roule. Genocide & hatred are still with us. The Nazis aren't the only ones who have committed genocide & the Jews aren't the only race who have suffered. Look at the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia & the Turks & Armenians. Look at ISIS now. It's mans inhumanity to man. God has nothing to do with it.
No..we must NEVER forget..OR be 'allowed' to forget!..I have visited Bergen-Belsen!...
Oh my God. This is one of the most horrible things that I've read in a very long time. We must NEVER FORGET!
Poor, sweet baby ! So sad !
I agree it was. No child ever deserved to die like they did back in those days because they were Jewish and all that.
Now those children live a peaceful and happy live in Heaven, no longer dealing with ghettos, starvation, deportions, being laughed at, death camps+ gas chambers. And defiantly no race against race.
So glad that evil Nazi leader Hitler is in Hell. And so are the men and women who followed him.
Those people who murdered the Jews were idiots putting their beliefs to the evil Nazi scum leader. And even having their own children get involved into it.
So if people had someone to blame-don't blame God. God had nothing to do with the Holocaust *even though He knew the innocent would face torment, natural disasters and such because of sin in the world*. Blame all the stuff on Hitler and his evil Nazis. I would imagine that if Hitler and his Nazis were murdering the Jews, God would probably give Hitler and his evil scum Nazis His angry wrath-He did in their afterlife.
My cousins: Solomon, David and little Samual were 7,5 and 3. đąI named my daughter after them. I keep photos of them in my home. Today they would have been 78,76 and 74.
I was thinking millions of children went in and only 500,000 made it out. The US wouldn't let the kids in .The English took thousands in. Very very sad.
Poor baby and millions like her that were murdered by the Nazis, may they rest in peace.
thanks for sharing and yes we need to remember always
Wonderful that Alida still exists in a way because we have a photo of her. We can say her name & remember her forever. Xx
RIP, sweet baby girl
Such a horror these little ones endured- and many are denying it and saying "it never happened." :'(
