Learning about this genocide for the last few weeks has been an emotional experience. For example watching Life is Beautiful was sad and happy and funny all at once. It is still so horribly incredible to me that anyone would ever do what was done. It also is so horrible to me to think that this was not actually that long ago. And that something like this could have happened so recently. Learning about this has changed me by making me realise what had actually happened. I knew that the Holocaust had happened, but I didn’t know how bad it actually was, and all the pain that people had to endure for years. The only way that this has changed the way I perceive humanity, is by changing the way I think about the lengths that someone would go to, to exterminate a group they don’t like. Like for example the death march through the freezing cold snow that Elie and all the other prisoners of the camp had to go through. What I have taken away is the awareness of everything that had happened.
