in concentration camps where the tiring work tested the strength and spirit of the Jews. Some individuals were chosen for experimental medical procedures with agonizing pain and at times disfigurement and death (Ayer 53). Life was depressing in these camps, but hope flickered in the hearts of some. The holocaust continued until the war ended at which time the concentration camps were released. With liberty, frantic murder and burning hatred ended.Those who died in this tragic time gave way to the cruel blaze of hatred. As one survivor put it, "One thing is clear what happened exceeded our boldest horrors and ended with an answer to our greatest prayers" (Shulman 59). Jewish prayers were answered when the liberators put out the flames of hatred. Even so, the Jews were left with a strong desire to let people know what really happened. Many survivors are aging, and in years to come, no survivors will be alive to tell what happened during the Holocaust. History shall never be forgotten. The ashes have cooled and remain buried in massive graves. The ovens that housed the inferno are silent and are visited today by new generations that learn the story of the Holocaust from the dead. The flames and fire that raged across Eastern Europe have died. Tragically the prejudice that fueled the Holocaust still exists in the heart of man (Shulman 59). Works CitedAltman, Linda Jacobs.
