Children of the Holocaust had many experiences throughout their lives during the Holocaust. They experienced very difficult times as children, from their time living in ghettos, living conditions and transportation to safety. What experiences did children who lived during the Holocaust have? The general way the children lived during the Holocaust was very bad and what they experienced. Children would be forced to leave their homes with their families. The first group of children to be transported out of their country were those living in Poland. They were forced to live in ghettos. After being forced to leave these countries, they were forced into ghettos with very little food and water. As a child, you didn't have much food and as a result, they died faster than the rest of the family. When children were in ghettos, they were orphaned and had to raise each other. The houses they lived in were so small that they were so cramped that people had to live on the streets. The way the children died was that when they were too weak to work, they would simply kill the Jews. There were over a million children killed during this period in the ghettos, from infants to adolescents, these children were distributed to their families and they were the first in the gas chambers. The Germans considered children unproductive, so they killed them (“Children’s Story”). The children of the Holocaust went through difficult times living in the ghettos. According to Kitty Saks, she explained her life as being very hard but ultimately very lucky. Kitty Saks grew up during the Holocaust. She was one of three Jews who survived the Holocaust. When people ask her what she thinks about the Holocaust, she says you just... middle of paper... live with them. The quickest way to travel to our country was to fly to Britain directly. Sponsored children went to a host family and children who did not have a sponsor participated in the summer camps offered to them. The organizations that saved these children focused on children who needed medical care or whose parents had died or whose family was missing or in concentration camps. Children chosen by the children's transport were transported either by train or by boat and the last transport took place on May 14, 1946 ("Holocaust Transport"). Concluding all these examples of how children who lived during the holocaust went through very difficult times as children, from the time they lived in the ghettos, the living conditions and transportation to security. These are the experiences children had to go through during the Holocaust.
