discussion questions for One Survivor Remembers Blog

1. The images that were most powerful for me was towards the end of the movie when they showed the images of the few women who were living and the brutally horrible health that they were in. It showed how poorly treated the women were throughout the death march. What really bothered me is how not one Nazi felt the slightest bid bad about how they were treating the Jews. 
2. The Nazi's dehumanized the Jews in many ways. They would strip them of their clothing, tattoo a number on their skin to represent that they were Jews, and separate families. The thing that really helped Gerda Weissmann overcome the dehumanization from the Nazis was when she would take her mind off it by thinking about which dress looked better, the blue or red one.
3. If everything was taken from me, I would try to fantasize about funny moments that has happened in my past because it is a topic that I could think about for a long period of time. Some ordinary things that I take for granted are electronics, family, education, and safety. 
4. The main persecution I see in todays world is in Darfur. The mass genocide has forced hundreds of thousands of people to evacuate their homes and settle in refugee camps. I think this mass genocide can stop if more countries became involved in helping the cause. 
5. The heroes of the film were the Americans that came to liberate the concentration camps. Another specific hero of the film were the parents of Gerda Weissmann and Kurt Klein because each set of parents knew what was to come and went out of their way to protect and save their children. To make the world a better place, I can help spread awareness of any mass genocide that is happening around the world today.
