The event will star an ambassador of Sweden, Bjorn Lyrvall, and also a Holocaust survivor.

Then he notices a boy sitting by the fence and they become friends. The Holocaust is still worth mentioning to this day because thousands of Jews were murdered because of something that they could not control. The survivors still have to live to this day with the trauma scarring them for life. The survivors still have to live with the memories of the violent abuse and watching others around them die. They had to clean up the bodies of innocent people and could not show any pain. Mothers had to witness their own children dying and suffering by the starvation, and weakness of their bodies. Survivors were afraid to go back home because of the riots of people who were against Jews. Survivors still have to live with
