Oprah's Interview

I'm just writing about my thoughts on the Holocaust in general right now. Seeing the Auschwitz camp makes you really get a feel of how bad the holocaust was. And it wasn't even the only camp. There were many more other death camps spread throughout Europe. Whenever you hear about people dying, not many people truly care about it. They may think about how sad it is, but they don't lose any sleep over it. We read and hear of the holocaust killing millions of people. To me, yeah it's a lot of people, but I don't feel a whole lot about it. It's not necessarily the best thing to say, but to actually feel and connect with that is kind of hard to do. Seeing the pictures of piles of bodies being hauled around like animals makes you get even more of a grip on how cruel the Nazis were and how much they hated those they killed. To treat people like they don't even deserve to live is just unthinkable. Another thing that's weird to think about is when it all happened. It wasn't even a century ago. To think that your grandparents were alive during this is crazy. I'm kind of excited to start reading the book, just to really see Elie's first hand account of what happened.
