Holocaust AOW Impressions

 Quite a few articles that I learned about today were about survivors and their stories. In a lot of these articles the situations that they were in word definitely not ideal. One example a survivor spoke about how they were born in one of the concentration camp.   Another one talks about going into the camp at 15 and only surviving because they needed to greet people at the gate. Another one talks about how an Olympic medalist used force papers to survive in Germany.

 For the majority of the other articles we talked about new information coming up from the holocaust. One of them reveal documents about women being forced to have a Borsch and's and being raped, and confirmed the number of prisoners was higher than we originally believed being somewhere around 15–20,000,000 Jews. Another one talked about the fact that  holocaust Memorial day was not recognized until 2004 by the UN. And how the Soviets used the holocaust to claim that communism was far better than fascism. Then another one spoke about how not only Jews were killed but the mentally ill and disabled were killed as part of the trial project.
