My Understanding of the Holocaust

By:Lee A. Zito Before I had taken Holocaust in World Literature, I felt I generally knew about the Holocaust. I knew all the basics, Nazis hated Jews, Jews were massacred, when and where it took place. I even knew a bit of the specifics from watching the History Channel. Before I had taken this class, I felt I knew how to deal with the feeling of sadness I had in regards to the Holocaust. …showed first 75 words of 963 total…

…showed last 75 words of 963 total…understanding is how we can truly honor and respect those who have died as well as those who have survived. Before I had many of my family members, Catholics as well as Jews, asking me why in my right mind was I taking such a depressing class on the Holocaust. I myself didn't really know why. Little did I know I would gain so much from the experience and for that I am truly grateful.
