Holocaust Survivor

hatred, an emotion caused by not helping someone with there homework, or not getting a juice drink that you wanted. There is another kind of hate that took over Germany. A long time ago there was a world war between Germany and basically the whole world. One of the survivor of this awful war came to our school one day and told us about the dangerous Holocaust. they're very dangerous people and there leader was named Hitler. Eva Olsson was the guest speaker at our school. she talked to us about her experience of the Holocaust. Every one was moved by what shes been through. she taught her grand kids to never use the word "hate" because hate is what took over the Nazis.

she was 19 when she went to Germany and she told us that it wasn't Paradise when they got out of the train they were sent right away to work and if they argued about anything they were killed or beaten. She lost her mother during the war, and she never got the chance to just say "I love you " before she was taken away from her, she will never forget what they did to her mother. she also mentioned that her father was sent to another camp and she never heard of him again.she was sent to a camp that they would have to move bricks for work and there was food and water but not very much of it.

through out Eva's life there has been too much violence and blood spilt, and that is really scary for someone to go through, especially blood from her family and loved ones.just the thought of losing her husband from a car crash , just because the driver was drunk. There is just so much to take in.
