One of this program called “Student Success”, in Career Development office, it has a variety of workshop, which would help students to succeed. I choose to attend a workshop about time management. Before I went there, I was thinking, that they are going say few things about how to plan your time, which anyway not would be helpful for me. That would be it. On Friday, October 21, I came to my appointment at Student Success Center. First, I was surprised, how they were very prepared for my appointment. …show more content…

It was a brilliant opportunity for students and faculty since there are only a few years where there will be survivors still alive. Before I went there, I was expecting to hear the stories which would inspire me and would give me a better understanding of Holocaust period. After attending this testimonial my expectations were proved. I enjoy listening his stories about escaping from the camps, about his lifestyle in that period. At that moment, he was only 15 years old, and I can imagine myself as the teenager, went through all these challenges of life. His stories touch my feelings and inspire me all my problems are nothing, comparing by what he went though. Holocaust is a horrible event which has an impact on a lot of people, it killed 6 million Jews. It includes 1.5 million children. I think it is part of our history and we have to know about what people went through. This experience connects with a history of our nation and I think now, not everybody interesting to know this, since it is already in the past. It is wrong, no matter how many years would past people should know their history. It is better to hear information from first-hand experiences of Holocaust Survivors. I am so glad that our university provides for us this tremendous …show more content…

It is important for him to share his experience and tell the truth what happen. He wants to be heard and maybe influence on the teenagers by showing them that their life is not that hard. Sometimes students need to listen to those types of stories to get inspire. The Holocaust survival’s story inspires me even more than I was expected. While he was talking, I was feeling like I was there. I would be happy to attend those types of events in the future. I think it is brilliant opportunity that Nova provides for their students to hear different stories from first

The things that I will remember most is what all the Jews went through during the holocaust and what horrible things were done to them.

  • The Holocaust And The Holocaust

    653 Words  | 2 Pages

    So why do we study the Holocaust? Is it to know of Adolf Hitler's madness or know about a large part of World War II? I believe it is to know how to recognize and stop something like the Holocaust from ever happening again. It is like Edmund Burke said, "All tyrany needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." The Holocaust gained it's foodhold because we didn't know what was happening so we remained silent. A lot of the suffering and pain could've been prevented if we had simply realized what was going on. Another one of Edmund's quotes is that, "Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it." That is why we must learn and know about the Holocaust so that we do not repeat our mistakes of the past.

  • Lasting Effects of the Holocaust

    1179 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Holocaust was a very impressionable period of time. It not only got media attention during that time, but movies, books, websites, and other forms of media still remember the Holocaust. In Richard Brietman’s article, “Lasting Effects of the Holocaust,” he reviews two books and one movie that were created to reflect the Holocaust (BREITMAN 11). He notes that the two books are very realistic and give historical facts and references to display the evils that were happening in concentration camps during the Holocaust. This shows that the atrocities that were committed during the Holocaust have not been forgotten. Through historical writings and records, the harshness and evil that created the Holocaust will live through centuries, so that it may not be repeated again (BREITMAN 14).

  • Should The Holocaust Be Taught

    1099 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Holocaust is a very important time in history. With many other time periods and events, the Holocaust was quite gruesome. Five to six millions Jews were killed, making it a mass genocide. The topic of teaching the Holocaust to middle school students is a controversy that has been argued for a longevity. Many think the subject should not be taught, but there is the big question: Why not? The Holocaust should be taught to middle school students, especially eighth graders, with the thought that it was very real, the other advantages learned, and the things the teachers need to know.

  • Holocaust Reflection

    844 Words  | 2 Pages

    When I signed up for this course, I had limited knowledge of the holocaust and was not very interested in its history. This course ended up being one of my favorites and the most informational courses that I have taken. Other Political leaders such as Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin had committed mass murders that caused a much higher victim rate than Hitler, so my thoughts were that the holocaust was just another tragedy in human history. This class has given me a different perspective in the way I view the holocaust. It has personalized this horrific event in that it begs a person ask themselves how could this tragedy take place? How come the Jews and the world did not do more to prevent it from happening? The course has spiked my interested in the the holocaust in that I have found that if I come across a holocaust program while watching the television, I will stop to watch that show or read a holocaust article that I would not have read in the past. The four books assigned for reading by Browning, Sierakowiak, Lengyel, and Rajchman expounded on the personalization of the holocaust by giving insight into the experiences of

    There are a plethora of reasons to study the Holocaust. Not only does it benefit the students by opening their eyes to the atrocities committed by the Nazi Party in the 1930s and 1940s, but it also benefits the many people who don't know about the Holocaust and haven't learned enough to understand the terror faced by the "undesirables" and how far we, as the human race, must go to ensure that this does not happen again. First, however, we must learn how it all took place.

  • The Holocaust: Denial of Life is Wrong

    “Marshal Breger, a catholic university law professor and leader of the expedition, explained that the impetus behind the effort is to address head on, the denial of the Holocaust that is part of growing anti-semitism in muslim communities. His goal, one which we share, is to educate those who might not have the kind of knowledge we have about the Holocaust; to promote understanding; and even change.” (online). “Walking down the train tracks from the Judenrampe to the ruins of the gas chambers and crematoria, many remarked that they were not observing the sites as Muslims Jews, or religious leaders, but as parents who could relate the horror of being separated from their children.” (“visit”). Marshal Breger wants to teach Holocaust Deniers about the Holocaust so they can know what really happened and have an understanding about the Holocaust and not say that it never happened.

    After an atrocity like the Holocaust, the survivors can stand up and tell their stories. I wish I could meet one of these strong survivors to hear all of their stories because without them I feel like we would lose so much. We would lose all of what they taught us and that is too valuable. I thank all of the survivors so much and hope one day would be able to speak to one in person. You have showed us so much and have taught us to properly remember the Holocaust. You taught us that its the Holocaust’s remembrance is just not just to remember the day it was over, but to remember all of those strong men, women, and children who died in the Holocaust.

    The Holocaust is one of the most learned about events in history. The question is, why do we learn about it? We choose to keep the horrors of the Holocaust fresh in our minds and the minds of our children to keep it from ever happening again. The United Nations was formed to keep another World War from happening. We study the Holocaust so that we can identify the early stages of genocide and stop it before it starts. We put so much effort studying history to keep it from repeating itself.

    These three pieces can teach you that there is more to the story of the Holocaust than the Nazi’s and the killers. There are tales of the people who spoke out, and the people who were actually genuine people deep down, despite what there were labeled as. I’ve learned that there were people who weren’t all that bad hat were part of the Nazi party. Just because they were wearing the Nazi uniform didn’t mean they were bad. It was really touching and inspiring to hear the stories about those who voiced their opinions and did something right during these “wrong” times.

    I feel that I gained a lot of perspective while watching this film. To be honest, I had never really thought of people denying the Holocaust, in my mind it seemed so silly. I didn’t know that people legitimately argued that the Holocaust never happened, because I just accepted it as a fact. Much like Lipstadt says, “The Earth is not flat”. The climate is changing.
