Our Trip to the Museum of Tolerance:

Last Friday, February 10, 2017, my entire appreciation and outlook on life had changed. Our class arrived at the Museum of Tolerance after a very long and tedious bus ride. Its impeccable, broad lobby suggested a much more happy and uplifting experience than what was delivered to us. We were about to be given an in-depth and significant approach to the Holocaust, which gave me many new prospectives on all of my previous knowledge of what had happened to the Jews. Our tour guide, Walter, was very passionate about the information he was telling us. You could tell it hurt him greatly to explain to us what life was like back then, but he wanted us to know in great detail about what had happened so "history would not repeat itself". While at the Museum we were lucky enough to get the chance to hear the story of the one of the holocaust survivers. Our tour guide had told us, being told the story of the Holocaust makes us a witness. As the future generation, our responsibility is to learn from the mistakes in history and to make the future a better place than what it is now.
