A Witness?

Hi! This past Wednesday my eighth grade class went to LA and visited The Museum of Tolerance and The Japanese American National Museum. 


The Museum of Tolerance is all about the Holocaust. We learned about what the Nazis did to the people in Germany and how the Jews survived it. One of the most important words that kept coming up was witness. To me, a witness would be watching something happening and not do anything about it. During the Holocaust there were some bystanders and witnesses that just watched what was happening. 


The Japanese American National Museum was all about the Japanese who were put into concentration camps after The Pearl Harbor bombing and stayed there several years after the war. 

When I went to LA I learned so much about how hard life was for these survivors and it really changed my view on life.
