The Holocaust was an awful thing. I don’t think it was right at all. It definitely should not had happen at all. It was an unlawful act by humans on other humans. Ellie and all the other survivors are very brave and courageous people for sharing the horrific stories with the rest of the world. I’m sure that with out all their stories we wouldn’t know how bad the Holocaust was. Ellie was just a young boy when he and his family were taken to Auschwitz.

Ellie and his father were separated from his mother and sister shortly after arrival. One of the thing that he remembers is his sisters red jacket that she was wearing.

Thats the last time he ever saw his mom and sister. Ellie and his dad were sent to where being burned and buried.

He had suspicions of them being dead which would drive a grown man crazy, yet he is just a kid going thru it i don’t know how he did it. I couldn’t even try to imagine what it would be like not knowing if your mother and sister were dead. I don’t think i would be able to live with myself knowing I was
