During the Holocaust my nation was attacked and slaughtered like animals. Actually animals had it better than my nation. My nation is the Jews. The Holocaust destroyed over half of my entire nation; entire families annihilate. Throughout time we have always been in the cross hairs of someone but yet we still survive. This assures me my nation shall live on throughout time.
I am two generations from the Holocaust, when I went to the Illinois Holocaust Museum I felt depressed knowing what Hitler and the Nazis did to my people. I lost half of my nation who were all valuable to society, whose children could have changed the future. Also I felt inspired because here I was, a Jewish kid observing Judaism, going to a Jewish School at the Illinois Holocaust Museum. I was free to be Jewish and I was alive. My nation showed the Nazis that even if we know we shall perish we shall stand until we have been terminated. We are still here. |
