Summary Of At The Holocaust Museum By David Oliver Relin

Statistically, only 54% of the world has heard about the Holocaust. Believe it or not, some people don't know it exists or they deny it happened. Regarding these statistics, the Holocaust is still a very emotional event in history to many. Ever since the Holocaust, people have had multiple different viewpoints on the topic, including writers. One author that shares my viewpoint on the Holocaust is an author by the name of David Oliver Relin. Not all of his facts are “completely” correct though. Even though the article At The Holocaust Museum is full of facts straight from the Holocaust museum in Washington D.C, the author does shine a bit of his opinion in the article as well as some important information. The report is non-fictional which

Whether that means avoid personal statements or chosing quotes from your side of the spectrum, they should always stay as neutral as possible. David put in a lot of details about the musuem in his article as well as facts, he made sure to use details to really suck the reader in. When adding details to a non-fictional writing piece, it normally falls into unbiased. One example of when David used details to introduce the reader into a topic is stated in paragraph two of the first section,“but the enormous black-and-white photo facing the elevator shows the charred corpses of more than 50 Jews killed in the Ohrdruf concentration camp.” You can tell the use of the words charred corpse that David was trying to leave the reader in shock. Connotative words really help when expressing a topic in more detail. This is objective because it is just describing something that exists in real life. The next example from the article is cited in paragraph five in chapter one.”The stark brick and steel halls echo the look of the barracks and gas chambers of Nazi concentration camps.” The word choice in this sentence sends off an eerie vibe. It makes the reader visualize the exhibit. This example is objective because it's just a description of the museum, and no opinion was necessarily stated. Even though the author put facts and statistics in the article, you can't ignore the little traces of

The author of an article with a certain standpoint may include quotes that support their reasoning or statistics that expose the other side’s flaws. The article “At The Holocaust Museum,” let a reader see a different type of subjective writing not including quotes. Instead it involves a personal opinion. An example seen in the article paragraph four, chapter one in the article stands by the point perfectly. “Whether they're Jewish or not, nearly everyone finds the museum an emotional place to visit.” This is a great example of subjective writing in it purest. David placed his straight on opinion, not everyone thinks the museum is a morbid place to visit. Though, it is socially correct to think of sadness when someone says “Holocaust”, some people think otherwise. Another example is sited in paragraph six chapter one.“The museum attempts to answer the question that nearly everyone asks when confronted with the fact: How could this happen?” Although, most would think that the museum was built to preserve what happened during the Holocaust, some may believe it was for another purpose. Whether that be for money, revenge, greve, or plain out anger, the words stated in the previous sentence are not completely true. Still, I believe the article dose present a good balance of objective and subjective opinions. The one thing to also consider when writing is to keep either a good balance of both or to just completely engulf in
