Nearly all of the children brought to Auschwitz-Birkenau were murdered upon arrival in gas chambers. Slightly more than 700 children of all nationalities survived until liberation, most of them because they were chosen by “doctor” Josef Mengele and other SS men for “experiments.”
I can clearly recall sitting in my darkened 8th grade classroom back in 1975, with tears in my eyes, watching the flickering black and white newsreel images flickering on the screen in front of me. It was a film of the first day when the Allies entered the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp, and it was that day that God broke my heart for the Jews and Israel. But years later when I would get saved and become a student of bible prophecy, it made me cry all over again when I understood that Hitler's holocaust was only a warmup for what's coming next for the Jews.
"When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened." Matthew 24:15,16,21,22 (KJB)
The prophet Jeremiah looked ahead to see these coming events, and called it the 'time of Jacob's trouble', and that is exactly what Jesus is warning about in Matthew 24. The witness of both the Old and New Testaments of the bible tell us this will be the worst time of tribulation this world has ever seen, and that includes the Nazi Holocaust from 1938 - 1945 which just coincidentally was also a 7-year period.
"For thus saith the LORD; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear, and not of peace. Ask ye now, and see whether a man doth travail with child? wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned into paleness? Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it." Jeremiah 30:5-7 (KJB)

International Holocaust Remembrance Day to focus on 1.5 million children killed by Nazis
As countries around the world observe International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Wednesday, online events will replace large gatherings at the Jewish genocide’s major sites of remembrance.
Started by the United Nations in 2005, the commemoration marks the day that Auschwitz-Birkenau — the largest of Nazi Germany’s death camps — was liberated by the Soviet army on January 27, 1945. One million Jews from all over Europe were murdered in gas chambers there, in addition to 100,000 victims from Poland, Russia and elsewhere. With many countries reeling from COVID-19 deaths, some organizations are focusing on the plight of the Holocaust’s youngest victims: the 1,500,000 Jewish children murdered by Nazi Germany. Another theme shared this year is combatting “denial” of the genocide, which — along with anti-Semitism — is on the rise globally.
At the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum in Poland, commemorations will focus on the nearly quarter-million children murdered on-site by German Nazis. At least 216,000 of those victims were Jewish children, many of them deported to the death camp without family.
In Paris, a city through which thousands of Jewish children were deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau, photographer Luigi Toscano has been displaying 200 of his Holocaust survivor portraits at UNESCO headquarters. The indoor/outdoor exhibition, called “Lest We Forget,” will run through mid-February.
Nearly all of the children brought to Auschwitz-Birkenau were murdered upon arrival in gas chambers. Slightly more than 700 children (of all nationalities) survived until liberation, most of them because they were chosen by “doctor” Josef Mengele and other SS men for “experiments.”
Not far from where many “experiments” took place, Yad Vashem will be hosting a virtual tour of Auschwitz’s Block 27, where the Israeli museum opened a permanent exhibition in 2013.
THE COMING TIME OF JACOB'S TROUBLE AND THE GREAT TRIBULATION STILL AHEAD FOR THE JEWS
