Bluma Tishgarten and Felix Goldberg were both young Polish Jews caught up in the Holocaust; Adolf Hitler's rise to power; the rise of anti-Semitism and more. Yet they survived. Not only did Nazi Germany exterminate over 6 million Jews, but they also slaughtered anyone else who did not fit their ideal Aryan profile: Gypsies and Slavic peoples (especially Poles and Russians) Other groups included in The Final Solution were communists, socialists, homosexuals, the disabled, and Jehovah's witnesses.It is estimated that along with the over 6 million Jews who were slaughtered, Hitler's ambition to establish Nazi Germany as the global dominant force led to the deaths of more than 70 million people. Felix and Bluma's miraculous story of survival, combined with the rise of nationalism and fascism, leading to the extermination of millions of human beings is also a cautionary tale-a dangerous history that, if we fail to heed the warning signs, could very well be repeated.
