I have a newfound appreciation for activists everywhere. I learned so much about the atrocities of the holocaust that I’ve never read anywhere else, and it makes me want to work harder to ensure nothing like this ever happens again.
There were many moments where I felt like I should’ve been crying, but I didn’t. Not because I didn’t feel the pain, but because I had to acknowledge that it was real and it happened to somebody. This wasn’t some made up, horrible scenario that we never have to worry about—it was real life. I think everyone should try to read to read this at some point in their life, wherever they’re at, because it will leave an impact on you, whether you want it to or not.
