The Holocaust will never be forgotten, and neither will the stories from those who survived. There are many similarities, differences, situations, and reasons as to why they are even being one of the voices. When we started the “Night” unit, it was Kitty who introduced us to Auschwitz, but ended with the corpse staring back at Wiesel after his descriptive journey through hell and back. They both survived, and wanted to tell their story. They deserve to have their story to be heard, not just listened to, and our world needs to change so it won’t happen again.
