Journal #0 Entry: After watching the video of Auschwitz Through many books and documentaries, I was able to learn about concentration camps and how the Jews were treated. However, from watching the video Auschwitz, I realized how cruel humans are. Many people knew that once someone was sent to Auschwitz they were never coming back. Families were broken apart and children were left alone with no one to take care of them. As adults lied to the left alone children that they would be meeting their parents soon, the children knew the adults were lying. They would beg the adults to adopt them. I was dumbfounded to see how the children knew the truth. Even in that young age they knew that they were going to die and had no one to turn to. Most of all I was mad at the SS and German police. I wondered how these people could not see how cruel they were towards the Jews. They separated families and showed no mercy. What made me more upset was that one of the SS said he did not regret or felt sorry for what he had done. The SS felt no agony towards the Jews or did not try to show any sympathy when they saw people die or in pain. They felt that they were doing the right thing. The SS said he regretted for not spending more time with his family. What made me wonder was that if the SS had a family, he would know how painful it was to see your own family member die or be taken from you and he did nothing. How can people feel nothing when they were seeing how hurt and painful the Jews were going through? I was also very upset, how they used children and people for experiments. One German doctor used children, especially twins to study about genes. They would kill the twins at the same time and experiment on them. The doctor felt no sympathy for these children, but acted as if these children were his guinea pigs. By watching this movie I began to have a better understanding of what it was like to be a Jew and living in a concentration camp. I was able to see the agony and pain the Jews went through. God created humans to praise him, but through time, people changed. Humans are the most fearful and cruel creatures on earth. Hopefully, people changed and we can now live in the path God wants us too.
