Personal Narrative: The Holocaust Museum

351 Words2 Pages

Everyone has a favorite subject, it may be the only class that they can stay awake for, or a class that someone may feel compelled to write a paper for that isn’t even homework. Either way history is that subject for me. Ever since I was in elementary school something about hearing of other times and people interested me in a way nothing else had. I was that weird kid who liked going to museums and read history books for fun. This past summer I had the opportunity to walk through the National Infantry Museum in Fort Benning, Georgia which was an amazing experience. Ever since then I’ve wanted to go to other bigger exhibits, the Holocaust Museum being one of them. World War II is my all time favorite time period and the Holocaust in all its

  • Summary Of Night By Elie Wiesel

    818 Words  | 4 Pages

    I watch documentaries about the holocaust a lot which kind of sounds depressing but i think they're pretty entertaining. I wish we would take more time to learn about it in school. I understand that it is part of WWII but I wish they had a chapter just for that so some people would understand what they went through. If I had the opportunity to go to Auschwitz I would take it in a heartbeat.

  • Compare And Contrast Auschwitz And Buna

    187 Words  | 1 Pages

    For many Jews in the 1940’s, Auschwitz and Buna were a living nightmare. There were many scenes, ideas and feelings that were unforgettable for me. The first scenes that I found shocking were when Elie Wiesel saw the bodies of babies being thrown in a flame. I couldn’t imagine watching small, innocent bodies being treated like that. Second, the lack of mercy at the concentration camp were unbelievable.

  • Overview Of The Hot Zone By Richard Preston

    820 Words  | 4 Pages

    The most thought-provoking book I read this summer was The Hot Zone by Richard Preston. Not only is this book fast paced keeping you with the urge to read but it also focuses on real events leaving the reader to wonder why it is said that history repeats itself. I chose this book to focus on because of the close connection the story seemed to hold to recent events in history. The Ebola outbreak was the center of the media’s attention recently because of all the harm it caused in Africa and the fact that a virus could be so destructive, managing a large scale outbreak, is a massive threat to life as we know it. My reason for taking AP World History was really quite simple.

    I am writing to apply to become a certified instructor for the UConn Early College Experience (the “UConn ECE”). My background and qualifications make me uniquely qualified to be a certified instructor for the UConn ECE as I have Masters Degrees (CAPITALIZATION???) in both education and Special Education and in addition to my high school teaching experience I also have twenty years’ experience teaching history at Hillyer College at the University of Hartford. I am passionate about history, which I believe is more about the study of historical developments and trends rather than the memorization of dates and facts. My enthusiasm for history is most evident when I am teaching as demonstrated by my highly energized and animated lecture

  • Reiner: Growing Up During The Holocaust

    265 Words  | 2 Pages

    Reiner was not living at the time that World War I began and ended. Reiner’s mother witnessed those hard times and saw how battle affected Germany as a whole. Germany had to surrender in order for the killings to cease, so that destroyed Germany’s pride, as well as a loss of a bunch of merchandise and land to the Allies. Growing up during the Holocaust would honestly scar me for life, especially if I were a Jew. Living in the American South during Jim Crow segregation would have opened my eyes at an earlier age when it comes to racism, because the subject would be right in front of me.

  • Review Of Museum Of Tolerance

    1819 Words  | 8 Pages

    I went from being happy and joyful to feeling a pit in my stomach. I always had an idea as to how terrible the Holocaust was. It was not until I stepped into the two exhibits that I truly felt the pain of the situation. Being surrounded by volunteers whose families were present, and even seeing some real life survivors changed the Holocaust from something I read in my textbook, to something that actually happened in real life to real people. I always felt the sadness that surrounded the topic.

    The Holocaust is the most significant historical event that I have studied so far. This tragic event took place during World War II and only very few survivors lived to share their shocking experiences.

The Holocaust was the greatest act of hate, violence, and anti-semitism.

    I have had tough hope once, I had to move to a different state and start to get used to the new place. Moving was hard and took a long time to move everything to our new house. My new house was hard to get used to because it was different and I wasn 't used to it which made it hard to sleep and I had to leave my friends behind and I would have to find new friends. Making new friends was hard because I would be alone until I found new friends and I would have no one to talk to so I would be very quiet. Usually I would always be talking to a friend and I am only social with friends.

    What saddened me the most was that it seemed like people had not learned from the Holocaust what they should have. This also makes me feel that what we were doing there was much more important than we originally thought. The Holocaust is still a topic that needs to be talked about and taught. And that is what we were doing there: learning and
