Joseph Heinrich (Resister) Joseph Heinrich was born in 1924. He died of a heart attack on November 17, 1992 at the age of sixty-eight. Joseph was a resister of the holocaust because by escaping a Nazi Death Camp, he went against the Nazi’s and risked his life for freedom. The escape was a three day voyage across the Pyrenees Mountains which is on the border of Spain and France. A group organized by Joop Westerweel helped Joseph across these brutal mountains, along with thirty-four other men on the trip. Later on, Heinrich settled in Palestine and married Rachel Heinrich. He impacted on the holocaust by living in Palestine. At the time, people were trying to create a Jewish country. The majority of Jew’s immigrated there from then on.

Although his role in the Holocaust wasn’t as big, he still made a major impact in many different ways. The first, which I already talked about, was him settling in Palestine. The second reason is, by Joseph telling his survivor story; he showed had spread the truth. He talked about the pain and struggles he went through just to be here today. Many citizens took notice to his story and by doing so, are trying to prevent genocide today.
