Holocaust Museum

We've been studying for the Holocaust for awhile now, from reading articles and to reading "Daniel's Story". The Holocaust is a very important time in our history and a topic we shouldn't be oblivious of, today I learned a lot more about it by visiting the Holocaust museum with my classmates.
Today when we entered the museum they split our class in two groups and we got a guidance person to show us and talk about some of the artifacts of the exhibit, which surprisingly her grandpa was a survivor of the Holocaust.
She showed us some real propaganda that the Nazis used and talked about it, like how propaganda influenced doctors and other workers to kill people. We also saw a real train box which is where the Jews stayed in for about 7 days until they reached their concentration camp. Also we got to see a real striped uniform from the Auschwitz camp and what the colors of the Jewish stars represent. She also talked to us about the German Olympics that happened before the Holocaust which I didn't even know about. She told us about this one girl who was half Jewish and part of the fencing, and that she was told last minute that she wasn't allowed to play anymore because of the fact that she was Jewish.
We saw and learned a lot more about the Holocaust but this trip had a very big impact on how I saw the Holocaust now that I know more of how it's like and gained a lot of knowledge about the Holocaust.
