Remembering the Holocaust…A Young Girl’s Story…

World War II is over. For so many of us, it was just a horrible page of world history. One that we pray will never occur again. We grew up pretty much in a time of peace. We never experienced the fears nor the destruction that Hitler and his Nazi Party forced upon the world. But mostly, we may never understand Hitler’s hatred towards the Jewish peoples. At his command, millions of men, women and children were put to death in the most sadistic manners.

We have no real understanding of what it was like to live in Nazi occupied countries. People living in constant fear, hiding from capture. Having their homes taken from them.

Yet, out of all the chaos, a young girl, hiding with her family and friends, left us a diary. She spoke about her life in hiding while growing up in uncertainty.
