Eva Olsson

Millions and millions of lives, gone, all because of the Holocaust. For so long, I just knew about lots of people dieing, never being realizing or completely understanding it. Eva Olsson showed me much more than I could have ever imagined. Concentration camps, gas chambers, and plain inhumanity.

Eva Olsson showed and explained the Holocaust to me more clearly than any other person. One of the things that I never realized before was the pain she had trouble with most, family. The thought of being forcefully separated from your family so suddenly is unbelievable. In such a terrible experience, all they had was their families. After realizing this terrible experience she went through, it is easier to be thankful for my family.

I think the thing I will remember the most of her presentation is the reason why the Holocaust started. Hate caused the deaths of millions. Everyday people say that they hate someone even when they are just joking, or if they are just annoyed. I don't think anyone fully understood this word until Eva's presentation. This is the most important part and also the hardest to control for me.
