Testimony Reaction
When I saw the testimony of George Gottlieb, I wanted to kill Hitler even though he's already dead. I honestly don't even know what to say. Because to hear someone tell the story is something but to hear someone who was in the story and suffered during the story tell us about it, is completely another thing. I think that that testimony even made me look at life in a different way because we are so fortunate to not be them. It very well could have been me who was taken to a concentration camp if I wasn't born the year I was born in because even though I am not Jewish, they did take many non-Jewish people to concentration and extermination camps. I imagine what life is like for these survivors and how George Gottlieb, for example, can live everyday replaying the last time he saw his mom in his head and just going through all that emotional pain. I really don't understand how Germans did nothing to stop this. How they didn't take their places for a second and think about how horrible things were and not feel any sympathy towards them. Not all of them but some. This testimony really made WWII a very emotional but interesting topic.
Interview Questions: Dorianne Kurz
1)Did you ever get to see your parents and siblings again? Where did you go after the concentration camp?
3)Do you have any hard feelings against German people? Do you know any German Nazi people?
What do you think you would say to Hitler if he was alive? Would you forgive him?
4)Did you ever think about escaping the concentration camp? What was the first thing you did when they freed you?
5)Did you make any friends at the concentration camp that survived? Do you still talk to them?
WWII Jewish Ghetto Jacket
This is a World War II jacket that was worn in a ghetto in Hungary by a Jewish man. It has the star of David. It also has a blue armband which meant the person was an immigrant, the prisoner's number and a red square on the back which meant he was in a political group.
This is a very important artifact because it shows that life in the ghetto really did exist and that it really happened. You can see that they even lost their identity because they had a "number" to use as identification. It is also important because it shows how Hitler and gemans would classify people as political, mentally disabled, immigrant, etc. Looking at this jacket makes me think who used to own it and how he was killed. It makes me wander what story is behind it and that's why it is a important artifact from WWII.
