Yad Vashem, the Holocaust memorial museum in Jerusalem, has a very moving memorial to the 1.5 million children lost to the Holocaust during World War II.
The Germans and their collaborators killed as many as 1.5 million children, including over a million Jewish children and tens of thousands of Romani (Gypsy) children, German children with physical and mental disabilities living in institutions, Polish children, and children residing in the occupied Soviet Union.
Some Jewish and some non-Jewish adolescents (13-18 years old) had a greater chance of survival, as they could be used for forced labor.
The Children's Memorial is a deeply moving place which causes visitors to pause as they reflect on how many young children were killed during the Holocaust.
