NAME Karen DATEJanuary 13, 2009 09:00 PM LOCATIONPortland,Oregon RESPONSEI just think its so sad that all we read about this is true, makes me feel sad for all those people that died, for all those families that were broken, by the Germans and all those children that lost their parents and were left to die. I think we should always remember this because its true stuff that happend to innocent people...and for all those survivor that are out there it makes them heroes!!!!!  NAME Brittany Kreps DATEDecember 19, 2008 11:07 AM LOCATIONLand O'Lakes, Florida RESPONSEWow, I cant belive on how many people died in that time era and yet it was only 75 years ago. I think the holocaust is a very important thing to remember; even today because we need to remember those people who have fallen and died only because of some much hatred from one person. We need to remember period. NAME Jordan DATEDecember 10, 2008 02:38 PM LOCATIONFlorida RESPONSEwow. i just read about that lola rein survivor and i was amazed. i cannot believe she wore that symbolic dress for that long of a time in a hole underground. i would never have been able to do that. the lice and the food shortage and everything would have been very overwhelming. thank you for the stories. this website is so helpful. xoxo. NAME Angela Beaton DATEDecember 09, 2008 09:49 PM LOCATIONCanada RESPONSEIm a 13 year old canadian girl and have visited the holocaust museum last year in washington d.c. I have to write an essay on someones story from the holocaust and immigration. These stories really get to your heart and help you understand what these poor people went though. So much heart break and disapointment and the man Norman even spoke "i feel worthless." I truly don't understand why it was called the holocaust. the definition of holoucaust is "An act of mass destruction and loss of life" there is no word to describe all the terror the people went through because of anti-semitism. The holocaust is like a broken mirror. Each peice has a story, once you put it all together you have a big picture and a big mess of glass. The holocaust should have never happened, these stories really get to my heart. God bless America and Holocaust survivors <3 NAME Aaliyah DATENovember 06, 2008 08:46 PM LOCATIONI'm learning about the Holocaust right now and my teacher mentioned this musuem to be the closest to it as you can get. It sounds like an amazing place and apparently it takes 3 days to recover from what you have seen, it took me an hour to recover over the information from the internet so the musuem just sounds amazing and it's totally something I need to do! NAME Nadine Morse DATENovember 05, 2008 06:31 AM LOCATIONCalifornia RESPONSEI don't know really what to say, other than thank you for sharing all the history, all the personal memories, everything. Since I was very young, I've held a kind of fascination with the history of the survivors of the Holocaust. It's always rather unnerved me. I couldn't figure out exactly what it was that so held my interest. The images are so horrific, the stories are so terrible. But I finally realized what it was that made me not turn away, not close my eye's, and to actually seek out information on atrocities such as the Holocaust, and genocide that is going on even today. I realized that I feel a deep moral obligation to bear witness to these things. To see them with my own eye's, to hear the stories of anyone able or willing to speak of them. I feel a moral obligation to take advantage of the fact that I CAN learn about such things in this country. And a deep passion for making sure that these thing's aren't forgotten, that people don't close their eye's because it isn't pleasant to look at,or difficult to hear... So thank you... thank you so much, for having the courage to speak, the courage to share, the courage to teach... may it never be forgotten. NAME Kiara Benton DATEOctober 21, 2008 11:29 AM LOCATIONO'Fallon, IL RESPONSEI think that the whole thing behind the holocaust is very memorable. To hear what these people had to go through makes me stand for my nation even more and have much respect. I really would like to visit one day when I travel. At my school, the topic comes up often in history class and it takes much interest of me. NAME Mindy Hatcher DATEAugust 19, 2008 01:26 PM LOCATIONOrlando, Florida RESPONSEThis is something that is not new to me. I was in High School in the early to mid seventies and our history books still had history of WW11 in them. But no matter how many times I hear something of The Holocaust it hits me as it did when I was first learning about it in school. It is a deep sorrow in the pit of my stomach and an ache in my heart. I would like to think that I would have been one of those brave souls who helped the jews to freedom. One thing that I will never understand is how one very evil man, "Hitler" had so much influence over a whole nation, and breed so much hatred against our fellow man. I wish I could meet every one of you! My son who is only 31 just recently met a holocaust survivor in Cleveland, Ohio while he was working on his garage door, he invited him and his coworker in and told them his story. My son said he had a hard time keeping the tears back. He said I will never feel like I have something to complain about again. Michael said this man changed his life forever and is his hero. Michael thught that the reason he wanted to talk and share his story is because he was lonley. When I hear stories that some people are talking about having The Holocaust not taught in schools because it might offend some "races" who believe it never happened makes my blood boil. This should never be allowed to happen. Some day I hope to be able to visit the museum. Thank you for sharing your story! NAME Jason M. Ramirez DATEAugust 15, 2008 01:58 PM LOCATIONRancho Cucamonga, CA RESPONSEVery early on on my childhood I took a very strong interest in the Holocaust. Although I may have been exposed to the genocide at what was probably too young of an age, my later age curiosity eventually lead me to this website. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, experiences, and legacy with the world. NAME angelica DATEJuly 23, 2008 02:57 PM LOCATIONnew jeresy RESPONSEI think you should learn about the holocaust because its important so you think about it and wonder how innocent people got the blame for something so stupid.Also i this no matter if you hate some one dont blame everyone for what that person did or caused. this wat i have to say.im angelica from new jeresy a 10 year old girl.i sware im 10 |
