Holocaust AOW Impressions - 2/12/16

EQ: Take a moment to reflect upon your impressions of what you have learned from the array of articles.

          One thing I found that was common was that survivors from the Holocaust still have hatred. In one article it talked about how Holocaust survivors want to sue Hungary, and how they have been waiting for 71 years to sue. In another article it talked about how a over 90 years old man is in an active case for being a concentration camp body guard. Though this man may be to old to deport to Germany. 

          I also noticed in some articles that the Holocaust gave people another way of thinking about life. In my article, a man named Zigi Shipper explains that he has had a wonderful life, even though he was in several labor camps, went through a major near death experience, and lost his grandmother in Auschwitz. This has made Zigi think and be very grateful that he is even alive. It has taught him to be greatful for such a privilege. Another article talked about how survivors say the Holocaust gave them a will to live. The Holocaust has effected many and showed them a different way of thinking about things.
