My Reaction to Holocaust Survivors

The University of Southern California (USC) maintains the Shoah Foundation. The Shoah Foundation has digitized hours of footage of the testimony from Holocaust survivors. View the footage of George Gottlieb.mp4 from the Shoah collection. Also view one more video on the Shoah website and write a reaction statement about the clips - your reaction statement should include your feelings after viewing the pieces.

This video shocked me on how people were kept and how a beautiful women was beat up and her hair had been cut off. Was a very sad moment for him and his mother as it was the last time he ever saw his mother. I can't even begin to imagine the feeling and emotions going through George's head. Seeing that his mother was beaten and abused that bad would have made me very angry and could not of helped but of reacted in a bad manner towards the Germans. He was given food and a pocket knife when he entered the women's concentration camp and I'm not quite sure why. George must have a strong boy same with his brother so they were chosen for work. My reaction this video was very sad and almost made me cry. After watching the second video my reaction was that anybody even related to jews was considered a jew which was not right and makes me think that the Germans wanted to chill a lot of people. From the story of Alex Chevion a jewish holocaust survivor explains that he was first moved to the ghettos which was camps before the final solution. The Germans just did not care about who they were killing or hurting, the goal was to destroy these people mentally and emotionally.
