The stories for this unit are about Holocaust camp guest-speaker experiences in the death camps during World War II. When making their presentations to high school students, most survivors were not able to stand for any length of time to make their presentations about their experiences because of their weakened physical condition. Moreover, in the late nineteen nineties, many were so old they had difficulty accurately recounting their camp experiences. When taken to lunch, Holocaust camp survivors ate only a special diet of soft foods because their digestive systems suffered massive damage from their daily two-hundred-calorie or less concentration camp food. On the presentation day, survivors made no more than one presentation due to the emotional hardships recounting their stories placed on them every time they told their stories. Their accounts of what they endured in the death camps inspired the author to write two fictional short stories.
