Holacaust Museum Reflection

As I returned from the holacaust museum a lot of things seemed to stick with me and not leave my mind. First I had trouble getting all of the images of the dead bodies that the guards at concentration camps would just throw out as if they were normal garbage. It really hurt my head and gave me a stomach ache. Definately though, it was an experience that will stick with me for the rest of my life. Another part of the museum that touched my soul was the room with all of the videos of people's survival stories. This room enstilled much hope in me as some of the people had unreal stories. The most powerful story that I heard was one of a man that was able to decieve a German officer from killing 70,000 people by telling him that his commanding officer wanted to call off the killing by sending him. This man could have easily been caught and killed but his heart told him what he needed to do in order to save 70,000 innocent Jews from being executed. The museum will forever live in me as it truly was a life changing encounter.
