Pavel Friedmann and Christina Trigger both felt like this during the time. Both of them were forced to live in the Ghetto, because the hateful Nazis wanted to rid the the world of Jews. Because Christina’s parents didn’t want to be killed, or liquidated, they hid in the Polluted, grimy, filthy, foul smelling sewer with her family and twenty other jews, as well as a friendly family of rats for a year and two months.

    The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators (“Introduction to Holocaust”). Beginning in late 1941, the Germans began mass transports from the ghettos in Poland to the concentration camps (“The Holocaust”).

Five more mass killing centers were built at camps in occupied Poland, including Chelmno, Sobibor, Treblinka, Majdanek and the largest of all, Auschwitz-Birkenau (“The Holocaust”).
