Introduction:
As
World War Two began, Lillian was a young girl living
in
Poland with mother, father and younger sister. In
video clips previous to the ones you will be seeing here,
she described how she watched German soldiers (who had
invaded
Poland)
build
a wall
around
part
of the city not far from where she lived.
Soon,
the German soldiers came to her home. The family
had to pack suitcases, leave their home and relocate, with
many other Jewish families, to the newly built Ghetto. Lillian
then described how difficult it was to live in the Ghetto.
In
this video clip below, you'll hear there was a rumor in
the Ghetto. The Nazis might be organizing
an action against the children. Her father had to make a
decision. Should he just ignore the rumor? Or should he act?
If
this was you, what
might you decide to do?
To
hear what decision he made, play the video. Click the
