During the Holocaust in 1933 a lot of Jewish parents were trying to hide their children to protect them from harm or death by the Nazis. The Nazis were trying to kill all Jewish people. There are a lot of people that were risking their lives for the children of Jews. I’m going to be talking about one of the woman that helped save some children.

Therefore I believe Caecilia Antonia Maria Loots is a hero for doing this for the Jewish children she was hiding for their safety. While she did this she put her life at major risk of being killed, but she did this because she was Catholic, and believed in helping others. She was there for those kids like no other. She put them through her school just so they could have some education. She gave free music lessons for them and others. Caecilia helped them keep their minds off of everything going on around them. I truly believe she save these children from a lot of things at the same time as hiding them

Over one million Jewish children died during the Holocaust. They were ripped out of their homes and taken away from their families, and stripped of their childhoods. Innocent lives were caught in a war that they were not able to stop. When Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933, he promised Germany that he would improve life their by getting rid of the one race that caused the problems, the Jews. Jews, including Jewish children, were sent to concentration camps, inspected, and if approved, were sent to work. All others would have been sent to be killed. Being sent to work did not ensure survival, children would be given very little food and water, and beaten severely, which caused their death. None of the children of the Holocaust will ever forget the experience they went through, they will always remember.

According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, “The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state- sponsored persecution and murder of approximately six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators” (1). Six million people were killed because they were not thought of as worthy to be alive. That does not include the number of people who survived this tragic event. It is hard to consider the survivors of this time period as lucky because, a victim of a concentration camp was treated in such a way that death would seem like a relief. A very well-known thirteen year old victim of the Holocaust, Anne Frank, had kept a diary while she was alive so one day people could read it and see the tragedy from her side. Anne documented the events in her life during the time she and her family hid out, graphically expressing the terror, fear and the light of hope. Anne said:
There is one thing all hidden children of the holocaust have in common, silence. Lola Rein Kaufman is one of those hidden children. And she is done being silent.

Lola endured, los, abandonment, and constant fear, but has now chosen to shed her cloak of silence.
