The famous Steven Spielberg film Schindler's List focused attention on people like Oscar Schindler, who - at great risk to themselves and their families - helped Jews escape the Nazi genocide. These non-Jews are called Righteous Among The Nations Of The World. They are the spiritual heirs to the thirty-six Gentiles mentioned in Jewish legend whose purpose in every generation, unknown to themselves or to others, is to assist their fellow man in his hour of greatest despair. The Holocaust survivor, the author Elie Wiesel, has dedicated his life to ensuring that none of us forget what happened to the Jews. The Nobel Prize recipient wrote: "In those times there was darkness everywhere. In heaven and on earth, all the gates of compassion seemed to have been closed. The killer killed and the Jews died and the outside world adopted an attitude either of complicity or of indifference. Only a few had the courage to care." The Holocaust was the systematic annihilation of six million Jews during the Nazi genocide - in 1933 nine million Jews lived in the 21 countries of Europe that would be occupied by Nazi Germany during World War 2. By 1945 two out of every three European Jews had been killed.   The number of children killed during the Holocaust is not fathomable and full statistics for the tragic fate of children who died will never be known. Estimates range as high as 1.5 million murdered children. This figure includes more than 1.2 million Jewish children, tens of thousands of Gypsy children and thousands of institutionalized handicapped children who were murdered under Nazi rule in Germany and occupied Europe. In his book Sheltering The Jews the Holocaust historian Mordecai Paldiel later wrote: "Never before in history had children been singled out for destruction for no other reason than having been born. Children, of course, were no match for the Nazis' mighty and sophisticated killing machine .."   Nazi Crimes - Warning: Graphic Photos The Wannsee Conference Nazi Medical Experiments Holocaust Photos Auschwitz-Birkenau Holocaust In Memoriam A Letter To God Porajmos - Sinti And Roma Albert Goering - The Good Brother Graphic Holocaust Photos Dachau Holocaust Photos Wilm Hosenfeld from The Pianist Varian Fry, The American Schindler Kurt Gerstein, SS Officer Nicholas Winton Miep Gies The Children Of Izieu The Forgotten Holocaust Photos - The Holocaust children The Children Of Bullenhuser Damm Hitler and the Nazi Genocide The Nazi Genocide Men Of Courage Holocaust Photos Father Kolbe, Saint Of Auschwitz Stroop - The Warsaw Ghetto Canaris, The Decent Nazi Henriette von Schirach Albert Goering - A Story Of Courage The Unsung Heroines The Last Letters Photos - Medical Experiments - Warning!
