    It is sad to see that even the basics, like clothing, was taken away from these people. They were stripped of their safety, stripped of their individuality, of their humanity, and of their dignity. The clothes being piled outside of the camp is almost like the Nazis' way showcasing their achievements .

    This is sad to see this many piles of clothing that all belong to someone with a life and people that loved them and just imaging how many people died and were stripped of everything is so depressing.

Before our unit of the Holocaust, I didnt fully understand how brutal this time period was. In the book Night , Elie talked about his experience at the concentration camp, which was extremely hard to read. Going to the Holocaust musuem was even harder. When we watched life is beautiful, they talked about how they take older people and children into a room and tell them that they are going to take them in for a shower. But they actually put them into a gas chamber. And at the holocoaust museum I saw a picture and there was someone who knew what was going on with the gas chambers and was throwing out her kids, screaming let me die and not them.

In the beginning of the book Night , Elie talked about how much he cared a...

Throughout our study of the Holocaust, most of my time was spent processing how one man, more or less, managed to cause this horrendous event in human history. Hitler’s movement was the reason the word “genocide” was created. I know that when we think of events like these, we don’t necessarily associate them with our present. But just like us now, no one thought this form of evil, this desire to annihilate a whole race, could be carried out successfully. But it did. And for a long while too. The idea of furnaces, ha… furnaces, built to burn humans bodies, dead or alive, it didn’t matter. “‘Over there, that's where they will take you. Over there will be your grave. You still don't understand? You sons of bitches. Don't you understand anything? You will be burned! Burned to a cinder! Turned into ashes!’"(56 Wiesel). Can you imagine hearing that you will be burned alive or shot for reasons unknown to even Adonai Himself? Not knowing why you are in this hellhole in the fir...

Lost Faith By: Camille  I became A-7713.    From then on I had no other name.  Never shall I forget those moments that murdered my God,   my soul,    and turned my dreams to ashes.  Where is He?     This is where - Hanging here from the gallows.  We were alone.  It’s over God is no longer with us.  Our eyes opened,    only too late.  I no longer pleaded for anything.  Don’t cry,  Keep your anger,  your hate,    for another day.     For later.   Clench your teeth and wait.
