“There can be no deeper revelation of the soul of a society than the way it treats its children” (Nelson Mandela). If this statement is considered true, then it is fair to say that at the time of the Holocaust, German society was at the lowest point in its history. During the Holocaust, children did not have a carefree childhood, as they should have had, but were placed in harsh conditions. They had to endure separation from all their family and friends, being chosen first, and in most cases, the permanent loss of family members. The Holocaust was undoubtedly a horrific experience for everyone involved, but for the children it must have been traumatic. It is a child's nature to be dependent on his parents and family members. They rely on them to protect them and take care of them. So when they are suddenly deprived of this comfort and protection, imagine the impact it would have on them. During the Holocaust, parents could do nothing to protect their children; it was inevitable that if they were Jewish, they were always at risk. But in addition to their vulnerability, children are often separated from their families and loved ones. From going to a concentration camp to hiding, the Holocaust provides many examples of families being torn apart. An example would be with twins. We often used twins for scientific experiments and when they were brought to concentration camps, they were immediately identified and separated. The children who were used for these experiments very rarely survived, and if they did, they never saw their twin again. In a short time, they were ripped away from their families and comforts and thrown into this chaos and unbearable surroundings (Nancy Sega...... middle of paper...... it was very immoral to time and took something they could never get back. Along with their stolen childhood, they were forced to deal with emotional trauma, something they could never shake off. they lived as children will stay with them for the rest of their lives Berman, Elie. “Jewish Victims of the Holocaust: Hidden Children of the Holocaust,” 2014.
