Seventy years after the end of the Holocaust, Jewish survivors share their stories with The Stream.
An estimated 6 million European Jews were killed by the Nazis during the Holocaust, which lasted from 1933 to 1945. The Nazis justified their genocide by deeming Jews racially inferior. Those who did not escape were sent to death camps and endured forced labour, human experimentation, or death by gas chamber. Seventy years after the Holocaust, has the world learned anything more about preventing genocide? Join us at 1930GMT.
