The holocaust and me

How I Learned...

An event that happened decades ago still has an impact on us today: The holocaust. I started being passionate about the holocaust around age 8. when I first heard about it I was horrified. As I went to school that fall I asked if we were going to learn about the Holocaust. To my surprise a few kids behind me who were listening asked what the holocaust was.  I didn't think they would not know what the holocaust was.

The Holocaust...


I tried to explain what it was but I was lost for words. So I did some research and found out a lot of things. In my synagogue there are a couple of holocaust survivors. So I asked to hear there stories. They were horrible, daring, adventures, and more. I'm not related to any holocaust survivors and luckily all my relatives escaped. Therefore an event that is history is not actually history. It is something that has an impact on the way we think, feel, and act towards eachother every day.
