36. She Was Spared from the Nazis
When Hitler’s anti-Semitic actions kicked up in 1938, a program called Kindertransport began that transported 10,000 Jewish children from Germany and Poland into Britain. Jewish children continued arriving in Britain as late as 1940, and there are many stories of people who risked — and sometimes gave — their lives to rescue Jews from the Nazis. Yet many Jews did not survive, as six million perished in the flames. This heart-wrenching picture is of a child ripped from her family, and she likely never saw them again. She lived, but her family most likely perished.
