I have participated in National History Day for the past three years, with each topic pertaining to the Holocaust. I researched the Holocaust each year because I believe the stories of survivors and rescuers are not being told or taught as well as they could be. I also do so because Holocaust survivors are beginning to pass away, many without sharing their stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43832814043275,"sku":"9781515351528","price":17.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/5100\/7115\/files\/img_2c02f4d7-87d5-4653-94ba-67bc1811a7f8.jpg?v=1755623612","url":"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/dr-ernst-leitz-ii-and-the-leica-train-to-freedom-defying-the-nazis-with-a-camera-9781515351528","provider":"CA Corrections Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
