AoW Impressions Blog

2/16/16
Prompt: Today you were educated by your peers as to different topics focusing on the Holocaust.  Now take a moment to reflect upon your impressions of what you have learned from the array of articles in at least two well written paragraphs, using evidence from your graphic organizer.


          I learned many things during the AoW gallery walk. It was filled with many emotions due to the fact that the Holocaust is a topic when many people were killed in inhuman ways. In the long run I learned many new things that pertained tothe Holocaust.

          One of the things that I learned was about a Holocaust survivor that is teaching many kids about his experiences. Although there are many people that teach the Holocaust to kids this teacher struck me as different. He seemed to actually strike people at the heart, not that the other survivors haven't, but he made other kids think differently. He made them think about their actions and what they shouldn't take for granted. 

           The author also thinks that nobody should hate someone. Even if they have done something horrible to you. If you hate somebody that has done something bad to you that makes you lower than they are. Hitler did something bad to the survivor and the survivor teaches that he does not hate Hitler because then he would be as low as Hitler. 

            Another thing I learned that is happening right now is there is one last Nazi in the U.S. There is a Nazi hunter that is fighting against the Nazi. Right now there is an active court case against the Nazi. The Nazi was a bodyguard for a concentration camp. Everyone thinks that he will die in New York due to his age. Since they think this the decided to not send him back to Germany. These are all the things I learned during the AoW gallery walk.
