Yesterday I
went to United States Holocaust Memorial Museum with my family. There are many
people at that museum crowded me that I tried to have more time to look around,
watch the documentary films and read the detail stories. I’m glad that I could
read at pace that I was taught by my former Global Studies teacher, Sr. Melrose
at SMSD. Anyway, the story that I got is really sad. It is important to learn
more about Holocaust history. The Holocaust history is not just Jews, but
Catholic, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and other who support Jews by comforting them
and hiding them away from Nazis. There are some extra things that I never learn
in my old school:
-Nazis
Propaganda
The
Nazis instructed to the German school for using the “racism” terms, which
offend Jewish people. Such like manipulating German students to keep them
distant from Jewish students.
-“Don’t
buy Jews!”
The
Nazis had burned all the books of Jewish authors from the bookstore.
-Bunks
Bunk
is a wooden barrack. The innocent prisoners had to sleep in the bunk. My God! I
can’t live without a comfortable blanket bed. It’s really sad to see how
suffering the prisoners had to endure with such cause of injured the body.
-Making
weapons for Nazis
Jehovah’s
Witnesses are known religion who refused military service and would not allege
to Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. The Nazis forced Jehovah’s Witnesses to accept
making the weapons for them.
Based
on making my first time at United States Holocaust Memorial Museum after I watched
my favorite deaf Jewish vlogger, Robin (L’Chaim) about her trip experience at that museum. She expresses her feelings that she feel offended by someone who
called her “dumb Jews" and support Hitler. Wow, how cruel! Robin was at United
States Holocaust Memorial Museum, and she looked around the pictures, watched
the film documentaries with CC and read the detail stories for three hours. She
also took the pictures to share and she studied the history of how horrible
Hitler and the Nazis were to the Jews. They killed more than thousands of Jews
in Germany. She felt so much hurt to see how suffering the Jews and Holocaust
survivors were! The Holocaust survivors keep in remembrance, which cannot be
erased. So sad! Because lo! Adolf Hitler was an evil man ever!
I
left a comment on under Robin’s YouTube channel says, “Hitler murdered my
favorite diarist, Anne Frank. :( If Hitler did not come to the world, then Anne
Frank is still here today. But man, she couldn’t make it. Anne Frank legacy is
alive and still inspired to her readers world. So sad and so sorry to
hear that the Jews had to go through with such how evil Hitler and the Nazis
were to them.”
I
also saw the other video that Robin explains about Obama is almost like Hitler and Nazism, which is a socialism. She explained that the Americans made mistake of electing Obama and that they have to follow his political view. Recently I watched the news about what
wrong with our country, America. The Police Brutality, it looks like the police
rule the world and is above the governments, businessmen and religious leaders.
Wow! But we Christians do not need to worry about that and the future. We keep
faith in God no matter where we are and what our conditions are. We stay
strong!
I
have more story from my last year visit at Florida Holocaust Museum with my “ex
fellowshipped” friends. One man who he is a museum tourist and a true
storyteller told me about his experience at Catholic Church, hiding him as a
precious baby Jewish boy away from Nazis in January 1945 in Germany. He had
finally made by immigrating to here United States of America long time ago. He was
lucky allowed to move here America. Unfortunately, others innocent Jewish
children were not allowed to move here due to the congressional action was
needed to raise the strict immigration quotas. Added to my mother describes “the
Jews were suffering and that the reason the American government did not want
them to move to United States of America”. See the picture of United Service
for New Americans. What is the New American? The New American is the immigrant
citizen from other country. “New American” is an interesting term to me, isn’t
it? Okay, this is all the sad stories I got, which sadden me. Maybe I will
visit United States Holocaust Memorial Museum again for a better future more
information than what yesterday situation about too many crowds there.
Before
we leave the museum, I bought the book, the diary for $14.95. The next Anne
Frank, perhaps my new favorite diarist is Helga Weiss that I’m going to try. I know
Anne Frank is too popular favored diarist, but let try once Helga Weiss is
needed to be known by every reader in the world.
