Georgia Gabor Holocaust Survivor
Usually, when people get overthrown and face many losses, they give up. When people feel as if they’re hopeless, they give up. But for some people, it isn’t the end. Some people are determined and will finish what they have started. This accurately represents Holocaust survivor Georgia Gabor.
Georgia was only eight years old when the Germans raided her hometown, Budapest. Her father worked as an attorney which made her family wealthy at the time. When the Nazis raided them, they needed an area to hide. Luckily, her father knew a wealthy merchant who had a home with a basement.

While in the tunnel, she could hear the screams of the Jews getting tortured, but managed to persevere and make it out alive. I believe that is important to not give up, as well as keep moving forward even when times get rough. Nothing lasts forever, and that applies to harsh feelings as well. Everyone should remember that if you put bad things in the past, it’ll be forgotten
At the end of her testimony, Georgia gave an insight on what she thought about the series of events she went through. She told the 1939 Society that everyone deserves to see what is going on behind the “iron curtains”. She stated that God wants us to help people, and not hurt
