According to this article, “several émigrés published their individual memoirs, but none placed their experiences in the wider context of their overall contribution against Nazism in particular.” To continue on this topic, the only known book about the Camp Ritchie or Ritchie boys was by the late German filmmaker Christian Bauer.

    A holocaust is defined as a destruction or slaughter on a mass scale; however, simply defining the term doesn’t begin to help us understand the absolute terror that was experienced by approximately 6 million Jewish victims. From 1933 to 1945, innocent Jews were forced into concentration camps in which they had to endure back-breaking labor for even the slimmest chance at life. One of the few survivors, Elie Wiesel, lived to tell the unimaginably horrific story of his life in the concentration camps. In order to survive the horrendous conditions in the camps Wiesel was forced to change in many ways. He became skeptical on the perspective of religion causing him to no longer trust others, therefore he became self-sufficient, entering the camps at a young age he was forced into maturity, and most importantly his loyalty to his father kept him going even in the times when death seemed like the best and only answer.…

    One might say I’ve experienced my share of fright, heartache, and disappointment in life. Born in 1940 in Berlin, Germany to a very strict Jewish family, it seemed as though my life was destined to be like any other European Jew at that time: deathly persecution by the ever-present population of anti-semites in Europe. Shortly after the Adolf Hitler rose to power in 1933, my parents, older sister, and I fled to live with my great aunt in Barcelona, Spain. Looking back on that event, I consider myself greatly blessed to have fled from the evil and persecution of the Nazis, for many Jews didn’t have that privilege. Even at a young age while living in Spain, I often felt feelings of guilt, for many of my fellow Jews were being killed by the thousands each day.…

    Ruth Kluger’s memoir, Still Alive: A Holocaust Girlhood Remembered, documents the author’s experience surviving the Holocaust as well as the shocking antisemitism that preceded it. In her blunt, straightforward manner, Kluger guides the reader through her childhood—a trying time in her life which she refuses to idealize—to her present situation in America. In addition to the historical accounts of the Holocaust, Kluger’s memoir reveals several dimensions of her relationship with Judaism and her Jewish heritage. Kluger’s perception of Judaism is influenced not only by her experience as a Jew during the Holocaust but also through her own personal view of what it means to be Jewish. Nazis perceived Judaism as strictly racial, regarding the religious aspect as irrelevant and attributing negative stereotypes about Jewish appearance and behavior to an inescapable, predetermined heritage.…
