Last couple weeks have been kind of crazy, the time first i actually i don't feel tired. Lets update, what have i actually been doing, while about 2 weeks ago, i was doing my A2 music perfromance exam, which i think went very well, very proud of myself, singing my little heart out like that :) LOL.
Last week, i went on a trip to Poland, I bet your thinking why the F**K are you going to poland, thats what everyone seems to ask me. It was a trip about the holocaust, We went to visit Auschwitz - looking at the concentration camps. I must say it was a very amazing trip. It is said that you don't really get the full effect of something until you actually see it.
I have always had a interest in the holocaust just cause it was such a tragic event that you hear about all the time and you see films and stuff which brings you to tears, and there are just always parts that you just don't understand.
It gives you some knowledge, and the question that seemed to reply in my head as i was walking through these concentration camps was HOW FAR ARE PEOPLE REALLY WILLING TO GO?
Think about, how sick in the head do you have to be, to think about killing a person, But to kill a whole race for what reason? because they are who they are. It just really puts things is persepctive. As i was walking past rooms full of womens hair, and shoes and baby's clothes. Why reck all these peoples lifes? So many questions, but there is no one to really answer. there is no actually justification to why any of this happened. but then this argument could be about anything? Take slavery. It just doesn't make sense.
Have you ever sat in class and just looked around the class room and wonder what is going to become of the people you sit with? the person on the right of you could be your next president, were as the person on the left could be a serial killer.

The other thing i ask is, Would you actually do anything if you were in a similar situation? Would you try and help someone or speak up about it being wrong or will you sit back and ignore that anything even happened? This kind of goes back to what i was saying in a previous blog about people being so individulistic only thinking about there selfs, but i wonder if this situation was brought to peoples attention would they really sit back and let it just happen. Hmmmm. have a think about that.
"There were many ways of not burdening one's conscience, of shunning responsibility, looking away, keeping mum. When the unspeakable truth of the Holocaust then became known at the end of the war, all too many of us claimed that they had not known anything about it or even suspected anything." - Richard von Weizsaecker
