I reallly cant believe we had school friday, although im some what glad we did cause i got 10 bonus points in my government class. After class i went home and took a very long nap, before going to my friends house where we had a little get together with some of our friends from high school. it was nice seeing everyone again, even though i cant say i really missed some of them. Saturday was my birthday and  woke up around 10:30 which was quite nice since i havent slep in, in probably two weeks. All day i pretty much just sat around and relaxed didn't really want to do anything. Sunday i went to lunch at HuHot with my family i had never been there before but it was really good and it was nice being able to pick excatly what you wanted. then i went home and finished cutting up the rest of the meat i needed to make jerky. Now i cant wait to get home and finish up what i have cookin and start eating it! I havent had any for about 3 months so im ready for some.

And nothing, nothing, nothing, and still nothing. Too tired to think! Up late studying for a test. Yesterday was my first day of work, and it went really good. It was pretty easy for me since I know baseball and how to keep book on the games. Although it became progressively more difficult when the remote to the scoreboard quit working. I would click the button and a minute later it would come up on the scoreboard. I wish I had enough money to grab some coffe to wake me up!

A Film Unfinished

            I have read a few books about the holocaust and have watched a few Hollywood movies about it, but I have never seen actual footage of it. I could not believe how bad it actually was I knew they lived in less than optimal conditions but I had no idea that they were that bad. The starvation was something I had never seen. Starvation is what hit me hardest when watching the movie to see how skinny some people were, it was as if their bodies were caving in on themselves. When they showed videos of the dead bodies they didn’t even look like people, they looked like bones with just a small layer of skin over them. Just the amount of pain and suffering these people went through is truly remarkable; to see friends and family being taken from you not know whether they were dead or alive and looking through garbage just to find food. It also amazes me how conniving the Germans were sitting up situations and filming them trying to trick Jews about the truth of ghetto life. I never knew that they would just let the bodies of those who died of starvation just lay around. How someone could do this with a clear conscious is way beyond me. It really goes to show how evil people can truly be. It also amazes me at how long it took for anyone to do anything about it. It also struck me at how the Jews just became so desensitized to death and the mistreatment of others, know if they tried to help others it would just inflict more pain on them. There was one survivor in the movie who I believe said “I couldn’t cry for them then, in fear of what they might do to me, but now I can cry and I thank God that I can cry.”

Joseph Morten

Joseph Morten was in Ludz Polland in 1924. He grew in a mostly Jewish community, as a kid he did not have any non Jewish friends. Since his town was mainly Jewish it was turned into a ghetto, where they lived for a couple of years, before being transported to Achwitz I believe by cattle car. No one his cattle car died however it was very crowded and just a hole in the floor to use the restroom. He was a worker in Achwitz. After they were liberated he immigrated to Canada. In Canada he meet his wife and they had a few children before they moved to the U.S. When asked why he believes he survived he says it was mere luck and God had nothing to do with it.
