Video Description

Maxwell, Helen, and Rose were three individuals who, as children, endured the atrocities of the Holocaust. They went on a journey decades later to uncover the truth about their lost family members and find some semblance of peace. Maxwell recounts the harrowing separation from his mother and sister, who perished in mass killings, and his solitary, animalistic survival hidden in the woods. Helen vividly describes the terror of the Kinderaktion, where her young brother was seized from her arms, and her own miraculous escape from a lethal injection at Stutthof. Rose shares the heart-wrenching loss of her extensive family and the agonizing journey taken by her mother and brothers towards extermination at Sobibór. Welcome to The World History Channel.
