Have you ever been to the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C.? The article “At the Holocaust Museum” By David Oliver Relin walks you through the museum that replicates the concentration camps.

The one thing to also consider when writing is to keep either a good balance of both or to just completely engulf in
The Holocaust was an absolutely devastating time period, killing over 6 million innocent Jewish people. Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel lived through the tortuous time and wrote a meaningful memoir called Night. He also made a visit to Auschwitz, a concentration camp he stayed at.

Historians have been debating how the spirit triumphed during the Holocaust for years. The spirit triumphed through the Holocaust through many, many distractions, nature, and the support and love of family and friends.

What I remember most clearly is when he mentioned every nationality that he met while in a concentration camp: Russians, Slovaks, Germans, Polish, the list goes on and on.
