Blog post #2

on Wednesday in English class we took a Holocaust pre-test, while taking the test I realized just how lucky I am to be in America and be free. Watching the interview with Oprah and Ellie made me think about how much people take many things for granted. What struck me the most was when Ellie started talking about his family got separated. I couldnt imagine being separated from my family while being that young. For a while it was just Ellie and his father, then his father died and Ellie had noone. It makes my very sad when I think about that becasue it reminds me of my little brother and it is extremely difficult to imagine what would happen to my family if we were in the holocaust. I am really looking forward to reading the book Night, I want to learn much more about Ellie's journey through the Holocaust and how he pushed himself to not give up even when he was all alone.
