Elie Wiesel, recipient of the Nobel Prize for Peace, was 15 when the Nazis deported him, along with his family, from their home in Transylvania to Auschwitz. Losing both his parents and younger sister in the Holocaust, Elie Wiesel has made it his lifelong goal to teach the world about the Holocaust. The prize-winning author of more than 40 works of fiction and nonfiction, he has tried to capture in his writings the vibrant Jewish world that had existed before the war in addition to its destruction in the Holocaust. Speaking at the opening of Yad Vashem’s new Holocaust History Museum, Elie Wiesel focuses upon the universal lessons that emerge from the Holocaust and the obligation to carry these messages to the world.

When Rena’s father was murdered, she was left alone in the camp. She was finally sent to Bergen Belsen concentration camp. In the various camps she was interned she was adopted by different women, but they all died. At the end of the war, Rena went to Sweden, where she was adopted by a Holocaust survivor who passed away a few months later. In 1946, Rena emigrated to the United States with an adoptive mother, also a Holocaust survivor, who after three months also passed away as a result of her poor physical condition. Rena was then adopted by a Jewish couple who didn’t have children. Rena earned her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in education and worked as a teacher in schools and, as a lecturer at Adelphi University in New York and at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem.

World War II veteran Rick Carrier describes being the first American to discover Nazi Germany’s Buchenwald concentration camp.

Six million Jews were murdered in the Holocaust by the Nazis and their collaborators. Bystanders were the rule, rescuers were the exception.
To honor these exceptional few, the Righteous among the Nations, Yad Vashem established a public Commission, responsible for examining each case. Researchers pore over archival documents and scrutinize personal letters and testimonies, gathering every bit of necessary information in order to authenticate the rescue stories.
As the generation of survivors, rescuers and witnesses is fast disappearing, this is our last chance to gather and document these stories forever.
