Elie’s book, Night, has changed the way I look at life. I will forever be grateful to have a roof over my head, a good meal to eat every day, and that I am free. It troubles me that these innocent people had to deal with such a horrible thing. During this study, I have learned so much about the Holocaust and how horrible it was. Imagine being in Elies shoes. Hard right? It must’ve been even harder living that lifestyle for years. He and so many others lost faith and hope in themselves and living. In the movie, Life is Beautiful, there is mentioned that the children and elderly are “given the chance” to take showers. These so-called “showers” were the gas chambers. These innocent people are lead to death just for being Jewish. It's inhumane how one has pleasure in doing such a thing. It disgusts me. Some parts of history are very important, like the Holocaust for instance. It is good for we students to know and understand this horrible event that occurred because it is a big part of human history. I have taken a lot from this unit. I learned things that I hadn’t known before, sometimes bringing me to tears. As if I can not say it enough- It is absolutely inhumane for one to come up with the idea of killing millions and yet take pride in it.
Learning about the Holocaust has had a great impact on me. Previously I had little knowledge of its existence, now I know of its horrific impact on our past and present. It's difficult to comprehend the suffering these people went through. Even though it's devastating to process we have to understand so that we don't make the same mistakes. Nadia Murad’s article filled me with empathy as well as anger. Our world is still infected with thriving hatred, people are truly suffering. As citizens of a free country, we must take action, support survivors and give them justice. We need to stop squabbling over the small things and fight for human rights.
