Introduction to Night:

On Wednesday, when we took the Holocaust pre test, I learned that more people had died than what I had originally thought. Yesterday, when we watched the movie I learned that it was very like, unbelievable. The movie was very graphic. Some of the things I saw made me sick and to know that people were actually treated like that just makes me feel something more than sad. It's undescribable. Seeing all those things that happened really makes me want to know why. Like, there was no reason for people to be treating like they were less than animals. When I saw the starving people that you could see their ribs through their body it made me extremely uncomfortable to watch. They were so helpless. I wanna know more about to Nazis and their reasoning behind this because I can't make any sense of it, at all. Nobody can. I wanna know that after seeing all the damage they caused, if they had the chance to take it back, would they? I'd hope so. I knew a lot about the Holocaust before we started talking about it in this class but it always makes me sad, seeing the things that happened to millions of people for no reason. I don't really want to read Night. It's going to make me sad all over again. But it is nice to see how it for from a boy's point of view, since I only read the Diary of Anne Frank. It had to have been worse for a boy.
