Throughout this AoW gallery walk, I learned a lot about the Holocaust. There was many facts and stories of survivors that I had never heard of! The articles that mostly stood out to me was Diana's and Justin's. These two articles focus on two different points of view on the Holocaust. Diana's article is about a survivor of the Holocaust. Justin's article is about Holocaust survivors demanding that refugees should be let in. I found these two articles the most interesting.
Diana's article about a Holocaust survivor was really interesting, it caught my attention. Her article was about a Holocaust survivor who survived by playing the piano for the Nazi's. She played the piano for the Nazi's and one day her father rescued her. I don't remember what happened to her father but after she was rescued, she reunited with her sister. Though, when she was rescued the only thing she took with her was a sheet of music paper. After she was rescued her and her sister changed basically everything about them. For example, their names, passports, etc. Then one day when she decided to play the sheet of music she saved a Nazi heard her play. She ended up playing the piano in German shows. No one ever discovered she was a Jew though. I found this article very interesting due to the fact that she could have been discovered but wasn't. She was basically playing with fire.
Justin's article is about how Holocaust survivors demand that refugees should be let in. I found this very interesting because they most of all understand refugees pain and suffering. They understand how horrible it is to be discriminated against. Justin described how survivors saw photos of refugees and they were inspired to help them out. He also said how in order to help out the refugees it takes a group effort not only Jewish help. I agree with this because in order for all the refugees to have a home and food, it will take a lot of effort from many people. The Jewish can't just help by themselves, we have to put in our part too.
