Journal #3

Personally, I CANNOT understand why some people will deny, deny, deny the Holocaust. Their is an enormous amount of overwhelming evidence to support that it did happen. I feel like it is a slap in the face to all of the millions of men, woman, boys, girls, and little babies who didn't have a chance, and died at the hand of mankind, and those people deserve to be remembered, for what happened to them to be taught EVERYWHERE, so that this never happens again. So that no other race or religion EVER has to feel like they need to hide who they really are so they can fit in, or they feel they need to hide who they really are because they fear for their lives. It would be like saying that all those people had no purpose whatsoever, and they died and suffered for absolutely no reason. I feel like when people deny this, they are spitting in the faces of the survivors, who lost EVERYTHING. It enrages me to hear peoples ignorance and arrogance. I couldn't imagine being a survivor of the Holocaust today. I would definately be probation for beating anyone who called me a liar. 

I hate that people deny it because they are calling all the survivors, who have to remember this for the rest of their lives, liars. Who would make up such a cruel story. Who would lie about praying for their lives everyday, praying for their family and friends lives everyday. Who would lie about losing everything they had, and just wishing they had died with their family, or seen them one more times before they died. 

We had a discussion about this yesterday in class. As you can tell it is a very heated topic for me, because I have a little thing called respect. I respect and appreciate all of the survivors who to this day can still recall everything they went through years ago, can recall all of the pain they went through. How can anyone deny that?
