holocaust trip

HOLOCAUST

Going to the holocaust museum was really interesting and fun but it was also really upsetting because their explaining about all these people getting murdered and dying. Although I thought the whole thing was very interesting overall even though I had to walk to walk for 3 hours. We even got a survivor from the holocaust to come speak to us about his experience. He told us his story and showed us his tattoo from Auschwitz. I know a lot about the holocaust now because we are also learning about the holocaust in social studies. I really encourage for people to go to the museum because it's an amazing experience and you learn a lot. 

Diary Post

   

(point of view of someone who lived during the holocaust)

Dear Diary,
Today was an okay day.I went to school,played,went home and I learned a lot about "the Jews".
Mom says I should be happy that i'm not a Jew because Jews did bad things and now were getting back at them. Although I don't understand what's so terrible about them I mean one of my best friends was Jewish and he was never mean to anyone.Then my teacher told me he had to leave school and will not be returning but then again that happened with a lot of kids.What did they do? My dad always tells me he's serving his country and is proud to get rid of the "monsters". He says he's making it a better place for me. I don't believe it  I mean I want to he's my dad but I can't. Something about the whole thing makes me sick. My sister says they deserve to die. No one deserves to die. A couple weeks ago I saw an old women get hit by a Nazi just because she was Jewish. Surely my dad wouldn't do that. I no longer see the old women, I was hoping I could've told her that it wasn't bad to be Jewish. Also today I think I saw a car that was suppose to hold horses but instead there was like bones inside except they were alive and screaming. I'm only 10 so i'd like to say they were zombies because they were so skinny but I know better. They looked so unhappy I want to help them but father doesn't allow me to go near anyone with the star of David on there clothes. We live in a terrible world my father says but what I think the world that he thinks he's building is even worse.

Sincerely, 
Bruno 

School Post

I am really excited to graduate because we get to got to a new school. I'm excited to meet new people but at the same time it's stressful because most likely your friends won't be in your class but meeting new people is a good start to a new school."Make new friends but keep the old". Also it's really fun being near the end of the year because for our school theres this things called the abc countdown and it's basically the last 26 days of school for eight graders every day there's something fun.Like if its G for the day it would be like eat gum day.There's Beach Day on the letter B.There's also the eight grade dance i'm looking forward too. Also going to Camp Mclean which is when we get too stay 2 nights there.They serve us good food and there's ziplining there. We get a walkthrough of the whole school.It's where everyone in the whole school including teachers and staff stands outisde in the hallway against the walls and lockers while the eighth graders walk through the whole school dressed nicely and everyone claps. I cannot wait until May.

Quotation Post

“We must live, and when this is all over, we must work to make the world a better place.  And if we die, we will die knowing that it was not our fault, that we did our best, and we can go to our deaths in dignity… I want you both to live…And to remember...You must choose love.  Always choose love.”  

For this quote it reminds me about the movie the notebook,because in the movie theres a man and a women who fell in love when they were very young.Allie(the girl)moved far away and her parents didn't approve of Noah (the guy).They didn't approve of him because he was poor and worked at a young age.He wrote to her every day for a year. Allie waited for him for seven years. During those seven years she became a nurse and healed a man who got injured during a war. Lon (the injured man) asked her out on a date. She said "lets wait until after your healed". So once he was healed he asked her out again. They ended up getting engaged,but then she saw a picture of noah in paper next to her dream house that he built.She decided to go see him again. So she did and she fell in love with him again, maybe she never stopped loving him.She had a choice and she choose him after a while. She couldn't leave her first love even if she did really like lon.She choose love.Thats why the quote reminds me about the movie the notebook.
