I am a Canadian graduate student researching and writing her Simon Fraser University (Vancouver, BC) Master's thesis while living in France for a year. One of my research sites in Drancy Transit Camp. I am interested in talking (via email initially) with either Drancy survivors or family members who have Drancy Transit Camp connections. I have been to the Memorial site and I can't imagine a more out-of-the-way, forgotten, and unknown place. When I asked at the Mayor's office, even his front desk staff didn't seem to know (?) where it was. I will be meeting with one woman who was nine years old when she was in Drancy with her mother and I am specifically interested in talking to people who have been back to Drancy at some point. With respect, Joyce Thierry Llewellyn

I'm doing a school National History Day project on Judge Aaron Cohn, a local judge who helped to liberate the camp, Ebensee, and is miraculously still alive.

The Holocaust was horrid. I see death so much in movies, I think it is like it doesn't matter. It does. People died, think about that for a second. The Holocaust was not a movie. It was real. REAL. I find that hard to beilive...

I have just finished reading Anne's Diary for the second or third time. Inspired is about the only word I can use to describe how I feel. I discuss this with my Husband And the one thing that I cannot get over is that this young girl of age 13 and 14 was so bright, she knew just who she was. With her help, the teens of today and the future will continue to learn about the Holocaust.

My mother was in one of the groups mentioned in the articles. She was from Pultusk, Poland and when the German's invaded Poland in Sept. 1939 she and her sister left with what they could carry. She spent some time in Vilna with the partisans then in Moscow and Vladivostak and then in Japan - on a Japanese ship to Hawaii and on to San Frncisco and across the US to New York arriving in April '41. I have her passports and papers and also some photos taken during her journey. Anyone interested can e-mail me. The information I read here just reinforced some of the things I was told over the years, and how my mother looked back at the trip as sort of like a fairy-tale. Her parents and some family were already here(NY) and wired money to support her and her sister during the journey. Thank you Holocaust Museum - and I already support you as much as I can.
Agin, thank you.

I have seen the memorial of the incident a kilometer or so outside Kuziai. My relatives live in Kuziai now. It is very well kept and what can I say-undescribeable that something like this happened. I am glad I saw it-never having known what had occurred there before I saw it_ but wish it never had to be erected in the first place.
