I think that nobody should suffer, nobody should be expploted phisicaly and emotionaly. I fell very sorry for the people that have done that.
When I first heard about the Holocaust and what they did to the Jews... I feel very sad. Now that I know more about the subject, when I hear the horrible things that the Nazi did to the Jews, I have the feeling to cry or.. I don't know.
My reaction to the Holocaust is pain, tear, lonlyness,... I think that noone should be so bad to the people. I think that this was like an extermination of rats, but insted there were Jews. That is unhuman.
I hope the people that did all this (Hitler and the Nazi) should be very, very sorry and sad for what they did, allthough they are dead.

The holocaust is when the Nazis killed the Jews during World War II. It is really not the right thing to do because you can't kille someone just because they told you to do it.
When I learned about the Holocaust the only thing I thought was: WOW! Haw can people kill other people who haven't done anything, they are just Jews! But, well, Hitler just has the "power" to convice them. If I was in World War II I don't know what I would have done. I mean I probably I would swizide me self, well no one would want to suffer so much like in the Concentration Camps.
Fourtunatly, we are not in the World War II and Hiltler is not alive. We are safe! But , I really reacted, sad and sorry for the Jews that they suffered and, like angry for the Nazi and Hiltler, who was the leader.

My reaction to the Holocaust Paulina Wilson

If you study World History, you can learn a lot of wars. For exam ple Worl war 1, 2, France Revolution, etc, but the worst war that I have learn is the Holocast. In that war was cruelty, rasism, discrimination, torture and all the worst things that a person can trate thouthands of people.

When they taught me about that war I was very sad because of all the cruelty that one person named Adolf Hitler did to many people. The worst manners to treate a person were in that war. Many Jews, gays and black people were treated like an animalbecause they were different than a ¨normal¨ person is. Nobody wanted to be tortured like that specially the people that the nazis wanted to torture because they were different.

I'm very sad of all what happened in those times. If I could change something of the past one of the things yhat I will like to change is the Holocaust, but I can't. Also we need to remember all those people who died in that war because they are heroes. Beause they sufry a lot to surviveand they were perseverant in those conditions to live and I admire that.

my reaction to the holocoaust jimena

     My reaction to the holocaust was like amazement for so much pain jews had to suffer. I mean, they had to be very brave to live through such hard times and be killed at the end. I cant belive how could Germans do such horrible things to Jews. Its really sad for them to see how their families were separated and taken to God noes were. Some Jews died in gas chambers other few lucky ones survived. Even thought they survived or not they went through lots of pain and suffering. This turned to be suffering marked for the rest of their lives.

    You can still see some old sourvivors that that were in costentration camps, the numbers tatued in their arms is daily remember if what they went through. 

    We hope that all the worlds organizatons like the united nations never allow this to happen again. It was  a terrible act against hummanity.

    

Ricardo´s Journal

My reaction to the holocaust was terrible, I saw all those images in the Internet, and they were disgusting, I don´t know how Nazis liked to kill Jews, especially Jewish families, first, they killed the Jewish children´s parents, and then, when the kids were alone they shot them, another horrible thing they made is kill children! I just can´t believe what the children do when the Nazis said to them " go take a shower" and they start putting toxic gas in the chamber and then the children were killed. The Nazis killed Jews in many ways, shooting them, intoxicating them, making soap out of their fat!!! That is grossest and meanest way to kill a person, I just.. I am totally shocked. My reaction continues, I just wish to be there and stop them, if I would have been Hitler´s bodyguard, I would take him to another place and do everything he made to Jews... It is just unfair for the Jews having to agree with Hitler rules, if not they would be killed before. My opinion is that Jews should be treated like humans, not like slaves, its inhuman to do something like the Nazis and Hitler made.

"My Holocaust Feelings"

I would like to say that there isn’t anything worse than killing and torturing people and that whoever does something as horrible as this is less than human. These murderers have committed awful and innumerable sins, all because of differences in religion. I feel that anybody that has done this is mentally ill, has problems and no compassion toward other people. I personally do not discriminate against any religion and I have many friends of different religions so this is why I do not understand how somebody could terminate the Jewish people for a simple religion. I also do not discriminate against people based on their ethnicity. I basically determine if people are good or bad on an individual basis. I feel sympathy and forgiveness for the Germans that were forced to do inhuman actions because their life depended on it. I idolize with all my heart the Resistance; all the people who risked there lives for saving others. I do not comprehend what this world has become, and it just seems to deteriorate by the day. Too many people think violence is the solution to our problems. I wish I could help in some way to stop what is going on in the world. There should be a special day that we show our sorrow and remember everybody that was killed in the Holocaust despite what religion we are. Any person who survived the Holocaust must have a hard time sleeping at night with all those frightful and appalling memories that are stuck in their heads which they can’t erase. We are given the gift of life to enjoy every moment of it, but the Nazis just took it away and tortured them and before they knew it, there beautiful gift of life was gone. We should pray for everybody that was affected and be grateful for our precious lives.

Andre's journal

The Hollocoust made a very bad reaction to me because all the people died and a lot of the people that survived had to hide in their houses. I learned that it wasn't very good in those times, all the newspapers with the dead people( Jews), police persons that don't let them go out if not they kill them.

I woudn't like to be in those times because here you can see all the people living hapily. They can go out of there houses and play outside, also go to eat to a restaurant and more. There you had to pay for the food to bring it to the house so you wouldn't be found.

I also learned from reading "The Diary of Anne Frank" all the things they had to pass hiding from the police and also from the movie but we haven't finish it, niether the book but I have learned a lot.
