I think the way reading and learning about genocide over the past few weeks has changed me is it made me slightly question the goodness of humanity. It’s really sad to think that there are so many people who would willingly participate in something like the Holocaust or the Armenian Genocide. Night did a really good job in making me have more empathy towards everything that happened, as it was in first person and made it easier to connect to the events that took place. Elie Wiesel’s acceptance speech was extremely inspiring, and it was very moving and selfless to have him dedicate the award to all victims of the Holocaust.
Life is Beautiful also helped connect more emotions to everything, and it made it seem more realistic. I think the way Life is Beautiful helped to connect emotions is that it's more relatable than the other stories we learned about. It started out just like a normal cliché romance movie (the type that we've all seen before), but it became a tragedy. Many of us can relate to the happy family part in the beginning, so to see it get that sad so fast was heartbreaking. Overall, learning about the holocaust has been a very sad yet interesting experience.
