Here are just a few of the people that died in
the holocaust. Every one of them had a life

One life
Millions of people died in the holocaust. Its
all too easy to just think in figures and forget
that every single one of those holocaust victims
had a life. But they did, and we need to think
about these individual life's. Its impossible to
think about all of them, because theres just too
many, but remembering one person can make all the
difference. This is Itas life

Before the war

• Ita was born and lived in Starachowice,
  Poland. She was the second youngest of nine other
  children and they all lived in a one-story house.
  The family ran a tailor shop and Ita would help
  her mother around the house.

1940-1945

• In June 1939, Itas farther died. Her mother
  and older siblings kept the tailor shop running
  for a few years. However, in October 1942, SS
  guards forced all the towns Jew into the
  marketplace. Ita and her brother, Chuna, were
  classed as able-bodied and so were marched to a
  near-by forced labour camp.

This is a picture of Novaky labour camp,
Czechoslovakia. Although we do not know which
camp Ita went to, it would have been similar to
this.

In the camp

• Itas job in the camp was to serve food to
  the polish workers. When typhus struck the camp,
  Ita became ill and was unable to work. She was
  sent to the barracks for sick prisoners. Her
  brother, Chuna would visit her everyday and give
  her rags for her bedsores. But without doctors or
  medicine, Ita died after 3 months. She was just
  17 years old.
