What I Learned About the Holocaust

These people were kids from the Holocaust

As everyone knows, the 8th graders learned about the Holocaust. I learned lots of thungs I never knew. For example, I've heard of Anne Frank, but I really never knew what she was famous for. I also learned that Adolf Hitler didn't kill just blonde hair, blue-eyed Jewish people, but he killed just about anyone except for the Germans. The ironic thing about the Holocaust was, Hitler was also Jewish. I learned about the different types of camps, and I thought that they only had death camps. Well, they actually had work camps, so that's how the survivors survived. It was a very sad time, and the sadest part was, is that they killed 11 million people before they were stopped! Anne Frank also didn't die in a gas chamber, she would have been liberated (or freed) if she wouldn't have gotten typhus. She and her sister, Margot (pronounced Margo) had 3 weeks until they were liberated. Anne would help other people, and her diary was found in the Secret Annex where they were found. It is really sad; I almost cried. If I would have been torn away from my family, lied to, decieved, scanned, found out, turned in, I would have really been depressed. I mean, how could these people do this to other people. Well, what is done, is done. We have to learn from our mistakes.
