Through the hour, there was a lot to learn about the Holocaust. Despite everyone's shared topic of the Holocaust, there were still a lot of different article topics to hear. With that, you could hear a lot of different tones in the articles. Even though they were about the Holocaust, a terrible time, not all of the stories decided to match that mood. In fact, quite a few of them showed the power of determination or willpower more than they did negativity.
A rather negative article came from Bela. She told about a Nazi experimenter who specifically chose children as his topic of interest. The scientist believed that it would be far quicker to create the perfect Aryan race with the help of twins...so he tried his best to do just that. He would impregnate Jewish women, hoping they would have twins. If they didn't have twins then he would apparently tear the fetuses out of the mother's uterus. From there, there was a whole process of experiments and head-crushing. Julia, on the other hand, had another just as interesting article on a Holocaust survivor. Gena Turgel survived Auschwitz, two other concentration camps, and a death march before she was liberated. What's even more amazing is the fact that in Auschwitz she had been put into a gas chamber, only to survive. Gena now has a mission to let people know that discrimination against Jews, anti-semitism, still exists today.
