The Holocaust also known as the Shoah (Hebrew), was a genocide in which Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany and its collaborators killed about six million Jews. The victims included 1.5 million children and represented about two-thirds of the nine million Jews who had resided in Europe. Some definitions of the Holocaust include the additional five million non-Jewish victims of Nazi mass murders, bringing the total to about 11 million. Killings took place throughout Nazi Germany and German-occupied territories. 

Many people stood up against the Nazi Regime in their own ways. From hiding Jews to smuggling babies out of concentration camps in tool boxes. this website is meant to honor the lives of three unknown heroes: Otto Weidt, Irena Sendler, and Chiune Sugihara.  These wonderful people risked their lives to save the lives of Jewish victims during the Holocaust. And it is through this website we honor them.
