In the speech by Elie Wiesel, he talks a lot about stopping oppression. He talks about ending the war between Israel and Palestine. He is trying to help. I believe he is right to talk about this because Nobel Peace prizes are for peace. He is viewed as a peacemaker, which shows just how powerful his book and the holocaust were. I too have been affected by the monstrosity that was the holocaust, being that I now grasp better the potential of bad propaganda, and a certain desperation that united the Nazis under a common goal. In Life is Beautiful, there is emphasis on the brutality of the Nazis, being how hard it is for Guido’s son to be safe.
The Armenian Genocide was I think a preparation for the holocaust. What I mean by that is that the Armenian Genocide consoled Hitler that genocide is possible. In fact, I think it made Hitler confident.
The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (USHMM) left a big impact on me. It changed my view on how many died and why it is important to remember them. I also learned that no Jews live in Eishinock, Lithuania anymore. It is ever so sad.
