Baruch “Buzek” Aaron Szabasson was born in 1927 in Kozienice, Poland, to a devout Jewish family. His father, whose name is not recorded, worked in the lumber trade — a common profession in the lake- and forest-rich region of Kozienice.

Buzek’s childhood was filled with tradition and family. Every Sabbath evening, he would visit his grandparents’ home, where he was known for joyfully running straight to his grandfather, eagerly searching his coat pockets for candies — which were always waiting for him.

In 1939, N**i Germany invaded Poland. Not long after occupying Kozienice, the N**is established a ghetto. Life quickly became a nightmare. Food was desperately scarce. Disease and starvation were rampant, and the dead often remained uncollected for days. Buzek, like many others, was never able to celebrate his Bar Mitzvah. His family struggled to survive, trading for food on the black market.

In early 1942, things worsened. Buzek was deported to the Czesnów labor camp. At just fifteen years old, he contracted typhus — a common and deadly illness in the camps — and tragically did not survive.

After the war, Buzek’s father, who had somehow lived through it all, returned to Kozienice and reburied his son there.

Baruch “Buzek” was only a boy.
May his memory be a blessing, always.

Mania Abramczyk was born in 1930 in Nowy Dwor, Poland, to Chaim and Cirla Abramczyk. She had an older brother named Jankel, born in 1924.

When Mania was just nine years old, N**i Germany invaded Poland. Her hometown was occupied in September 1939. By 1941, a ghetto was established in Nowy Dwor, where Mania and her family were forced to live under harsh conditions.

Much of their story remains unknown. Sometime between 1942 and 1944, Mania, her mother, and her brother were deported to Auschwitz, where they were murdered in the gas chambers shortly after arrival. Her father was sent to Treblinka, where he was also killed, though the exact date remains unclear.

Mania was only around 12 to 14 years old when her life was taken.

May her memory — and the memory of her family — forever be a blessing.

Elisabeth Baecker was born on June 21, 1933, in Vienna, Austria, to Jewish parents. She had an older brother named Karl Hans, born in 1930.

Little is known about Elisabeth’s early life, but it’s likely she spent her first years in a relatively ordinary childhood. That changed in 1938, when Austria was annexed by N**i Germany in what became known as the Anschluss.

Between 1941 and 1942, Elisabeth and her family were deported to the Terezín ghetto in N**i-occupied Czechoslovakia. In 1944, she was sent to Auschwitz.

Elisabeth was only about ten or eleven years old when she was murdered.

May her memory live on as a blessing.

Regina Sarah Mol was born on November 9, 1935, in Bergen op Zoom, the Netherlands. She was the youngest child of a Jewish family — the daughter of Jacob and Esther, and the little sister of Henri. Regina also had an older sister, Sarah, who had passed away before she was born, at just two years old.

When Regina was five, the N**is invaded the Netherlands. Bergen op Zoom, a town near the Belgian border with a vibrant Jewish community and a synagogue dating back to the 1830s, quickly fell under occupation. That way of life would soon be destroyed.

In 1942, mass deportations of Dutch Jews began. A year later, Regina’s father was taken and murdered at Auschwitz. Following his death, Regina and her mother relocated to Breda.

Tragically, on June 9, 1944, Regina lost her life under unknown circumstances in Breda. She was only eight years old. Just a few months later, in October 1944, the town was liberated.

Her mother and brother survived the war.
May Regina’s memory continue to shine.

Ericco Angel was born on April 30, 1935, in Thessaloniki, Greece. He was the second son of Isaac and Ida Angel, and had an older brother named Raymond.

In 1940, Ericco and his family relocated to Athens. Just a year later, in 1941, N**i forces occupied Greece. Before long, deportations of Greek Jews to Auschwitz began.

In early May 1944, Ericco was among those deported. Whether his parents or brother were with him remains unknown. The journey from Greece to Auschwitz was one of the longest and most brutal — many perished before even reaching the camp. Ericco made it to Auschwitz, but was murdered in the gas chambers shortly after arrival.

He had just turned nine.

May his memory forever be a blessing.

Judita Heinemannová was a Jewish girl born on June 12, 1925, in Prague, Czechoslovakia.

On November 3, 1941, she was deported to the Łódź ghetto in Poland. Conditions in the ghetto were harsh and inhumane. It is believed that Judita perished during the winter that followed — likely due to starvation or the freezing cold.

She was only sixteen years old when her life was taken.

May her memory continue to be a light.

Cato Bontjes van Beek might have survived the war. She wasn’t Jewish, nor was she targeted by the N**is. So why was she executed by them?

Cato was born on November 14, 1920, in Bremen, Germany. The eldest of three children, she was raised in a progressive household that encouraged independent thinking. Unlike most girls her age in N**i Germany, Cato refused to join the League of German Girls, the female branch of the Hi**er Youth — a rare and bold decision at the time.

Her family, of Dutch descent, was seen as unpatriotic by the regime. In 1929, Cato studied in Amsterdam, and later in 1937, she continued her education in England. By 1940, she had returned to Berlin to live with her father.

That same year, Cato and her sister Mietje witnessed a Jewish family being deported. Disturbed by what they saw, the sisters sensed that far greater horrors were on the horizon. In response, they began helping French prisoners of war — smuggling them bread and exchanging letters.

Soon after, the sisters joined the Red Orchestra, a resistance group that wrote and distributed anti-N**i leaflets. Cato continued her resistance work until September 1942, when she and others were arrested by the Gestapo. On January 18, 1943, she was convicted of “abetting a conspiracy to commit high treason.” Despite the court itself recommending clemency, Adolf Hi**er personally denied her appeal.

Cato was executed by beheading on August 5, 1943, at Plötzensee Prison in Berlin — the same prison where members of the White Rose were also killed. She was executed alongside 19-year-old Liane Berkowitz, who had given birth in April. The baby was later euthanized by the N**is. Cato’s body was used for dissection after her death.

Her entire family survived the war. Decades later, in 1999, after a 12-year legal process, her conviction was finally overturned.

Cato was only 22 years old.
May her courage be remembered — always.

Esther “Esje” Abas was born on November 2, 1932, in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. She was the daughter of Alexander and Aaltje Abas, and part of a Jewish family.

In 1940, the N**is invaded the Netherlands. By 1941, Esje and her family were living at Vechtstraat 20 II in Amsterdam. In June 1943, they were deported to the Westerbork transit camp, where they remained for several months.

On November 16, 1943, the family was deported to Auschwitz. Just three days later, on November 19, Esje and her mother were murdered upon arrival. Her father was killed in Auschwitz the following year, in 1944.

Esje was only eleven years old.

May her memory always be a blessing.

Shoelammieth Ruth P***k was born on June 28, 1935, in Den Haag (The Hague), the Netherlands. She was the eldest child of Anton, a Dutchman, and Else, who was originally from Germany. Shoelammieth had two younger siblings.

Sadly, there is little recorded about Shoelammieth or her family. What is known is that they lived at Weteringkade 83 in Den Haag. On July 9, 1943, the entire family was deported to the Sobibór extermination camp. Upon arrival, Shoelammieth, her parents, and her siblings were all murdered. She was only eight years old.

This is the only known photograph of her. May her memory live on and be a blessing to us all.

Claude Alexandre was born on January 18, 1943, to a Jewish family in Lyon, France. His parents were Alice and Achille.

Tragically, Claude’s life was heartbreakingly short, and only limited details remain about his story. At just eighteen months old, he and his father were deported. On August 11, 1944, they were placed on convoy 78. A few days later, Claude was murdered in the gas chambers at Auschwitz. His father also perished there. Both of their bodies were cremated shortly afterward.

It’s believed that his mother may have survived the Holocaust, though no official records about her are currently available.

Rest peacefully, sweet little Claude.

Erzsebeth Buchsbsaum was born to Polish Jewish parents. Every summer Erzsebeth, Herman and their mother took a special trip to Stebnik, Poland to visit Grandma. Their father stayed home. Erzsebeth has very fond memories of these trips. In 1938, her brother immigrated to America.

Erzsebeth's family had to leave Hungary in 1941 when all "foreigners" were forced out. They were sent to a ghetto the next year. Thousands were killed and by summer Erzsebeth made the decision to escape back to Hungary. The escape attempt failed as on the 12th day they were attacked by German guards, Erzsebeth survived only by hiding in a hollow tree. She went on to escape work camps and brushes with death before liberation in 1945. She moved to the United States in 1951.

Thomas Buergenthal was the youngest holocaust survivor born May 1934. His parents, Mundek and Gerda, were Jews who had fled the N**is, they ran a hotel for refugees. Oln 1938-1939, N**i Germany invaded the Czechoslovakia and Thomas and his family fled to Poland. They hoped eventually move to Great Britain. The family stayed in Kielce, where the community helped Thomas and other refugees. In 1940, they were forced into ghettos and in August 1944, Thomas and his parents were sent to Auschwitz. Usually, children (Thomas was 10 at this stage) were gassed immediately, but because there was no selection at the transit camp, he managed to survive.

In January 1945, Thomas was sent to Sachsenhausen camp, where he was liberated in April 1945.

Thomas's father did not survive but he was reunited with his mother after the war. He later immigrated and became a renowned international human rights lawyer.
