Seeing as this is Holocaust Rememberance Month, it seems fitting. I personally don't besides that one guy that, I met at the Holocaust Museum in DC.

Yes, Marko Feingold.

This guy is now almost 103 (!) years old and we met him on a high school trip to Salzburg - where he spoke with us about the Holocaust and how he survived the extermination camps. Pretty chilling.

No, though my great-uncle (who passed away two years ago) was part of the liberation of the Ohrdruf camp.

"That one guy"? Have you told the story or something?

Nope. I'd rather not hear about it, to be quite honest. I'm depressed enough.

Yes. My late grandfather worked for Jewish tailors. I have a holocaust survivor in my extended family.

Yes. The two sides of my family were on opposite sides of such an event. None of them care anymore and neither do I.

I don't but my grandfather knew some as he was born in Palestine and obviously many survivors came there before Israel was founded.

One of my Aunt's close friends was a holocaust survivor ( she said that she had a glazed look in her eye, that never went away)

We also had a brilliant talk from a Holocaust survivor in our school, who had seen her own mother shot during the Holocaust. Her last line was 'if anyone, ever tries to tell you this didn't happen know that they're wrong'.
