When World War II ended, there were approximately 1.5 million jewish children dead from Hitler’s devastating actions. Only about 9,000 children survived, which is nothing compared to the total number of survivors. Even the more fortunate children that survived had to live lives without any family members or guardians. Children usually did not survive long in the concentration camps. Most of them were sent instantly to gas chambers since they lacked the strength to avidly work in physical labor. This shows that Hitler did not have any pity, not even for the young innocent children.
