Walking Through History: Holocaust Survivors Share Their Stories

The past can be painful, and that's especially true for Holocaust survivors. Every year, dozens of survivors push through those painful memories to tell their stories where they happened: at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Thousands march from one concentration camp to the next to honor Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. As the number of living survivors dwindles, the urgency to share these stories grows.

They want to make sure no one forgets what happened so it will never happen again.
