i love learning about the Holocaust. i mean, it's so horrible and it's makes me cry and feel sick and mad, but i just love reading books about it or learning about it. we're doing a Holocaust unit in language arts, and it's really sad and amazing. we did this poster tour and made butterflies in honor of the children who died and now they're hanging up in the halls, and we read the broadway version of Anne Frank's diary. but what was so amazing was yesterday, a holocaust survivor came and talked to us. he's the grandpa of one of the girls in 8th grade, and he told us about how he was separated from his family and how a dutch girl smuggled him underground to safety and how he practically starved in an orphanage and how his parents survived auschwitz and all this amazingness and sadness and wonderfulness. gosh, it was so cool. thank you to mr. arnold vandenburg!!!

3 perfectly wonderful amazing comments!:
o my gosh
have you the diary of anne frank?
i got to like the middle of the book and had to stop reading it cause every time i read it i cried it was sooo sad!
and when i saw the memorial it was soo sad because there were just soo many names and these people didnt deserve to die
I got the opportunity to go to Amsterdam and visit Anne Franks house. It was a very sombering experience, but one that I will forever remember. It is important that everyone study the holocaust so that we will never forget what happened, and it will hopefully never happen again.
a few things:
A. who's Tom Martin?
B. I totally agree on the facinating aspcet of it, Em.
C. It is so inspiring when you think of all those people who risked everything to help strangers. You see that with every evil, there is also good.
