Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. And Auschwitz was liberated 75 years ago today. This boy was killed at Auschwitz 3 years before liberation (at age 7). He represents millions of others who died in such camps. Never forget!
This precious boy. Such a sweet face & no doubt loaded with talent. Such a loss.

To look at this sweet boy who should have had a long life is heartbreaking. What is just as heartbreaking is the rise again of antisemitism here in America. Such evil.
And that there are people who still belueve the Holocaust did not happen.

Sad to know that so many children were victims in the Holocaust that the little fellow in the photo didn't get that much older than the picture. To think that our world appears to be moving towards such fascism again makes me angry, sad and fighting mad all at once. We people of good hearts and common decency need to stand together and stop this crazy-assed movement towards oppression.

And they weren't just Jews that were murdered. Christians too. I knew a woman that was Eastern Orthodox Christian who was a survivor of the camps. Thatoo number on her arm and the stories she told me that she witnessed...i can't even speak of them. My husbands uncle was captured and enturned in the camp. He survived.
My father in law, also a Christian, was captured but excaped. Catholic priests too. And to think Hitler was Catholic!

The Nazis think they were being “Christians” to Murder millions of people for their different beliefs and race. They were clearly making the Devil proud.😡😡😡. If some parts of Christianity involves picking on people and abusing (non-believers)-people with different faiths and even gays-(I honestly don’t care if people choose to be gay, it’s their choice)-that club I WILL NEVER join.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator.
My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
