Reflective Essay
I choose the survivors of the Holocaust as a topic because I thought not many people did survive it and the people who did had to be very strong-willed individuals that went through a lot. I know that so many people went through hard times during the Holocaust and I feel like if they could survive that , they could conquer anything else. Many were killed during the this time and that is something survivors are going to have to live with for the rest of their lives, so maybe the life after the Holocaust wasn't always great. Because this is something that can give you nightmare every night, and can also just plain out ruin your life by having you scared.
Information that surprised me was how many people were killed in the holocaust. I was also surprised by how brutally they murdered people. I would have thought that the German Nazi’s would have a little more sympathy for the Jewish children, but they didn’t. They treated them the same way they treated the Jewish adults, which was very wrong and careless. I think it’s sad that they had no care in the world for the people they killed. This hasn’t really changed my views about the Holocaust much because I thought Nazi’s were cruel before and I still think they are cruel now. This does change my views on the Jews because I know how much they went through and how bad they were treated, so I feel bad for them.
