Eva Olsson


The Holocaust was one of the worst events in history but that's only hearing about it.When Eva was only 19 she was forced into working at a brick factory. Little did she know little Eva who just wanted to make some extra money was shipped to Auschwitz. Auschwitz was a concentration camp held in Poland, it had very little space and people were forced to do slave labour. In my mind Auschwitz is the worst thing a person could ever do to another. People thought why, why did they hate the Jews well i think it is because they dint like difference. People at the time probably didn't really know what was happening in Auschwitz but Eva was living there for 3 hole years.

Her speech really made me think about how awful the Holocaust really was. At first the speech stared off slow but once she stared getting into it i felt great empathy for her. As the presentation continued i started to think about my family. My Grandma and Grandpa are from Poland and lived there around the same time, I hope they didn't get harmed from the Holocaust. My Grandpa (Bubcha in Polish) is still alive to this day and he is a very kind loving man.
I cant even imagine how Eva survived the Holocaust. It was a horrible place and not even animals should have gone let alone people, human beings. The Nazis were horrible people, they would torture, kill and, discriminate Jews. In my mind Eva Olsson is one of the biggest heroes in the world and I think it would be great if she spoke to bigger audiences about her biography and to spred the word about how bad the Holocaust really was. The Holocaust was a horrible time in histroy when families, young kids, hardworking men, and Innocent young teenagers. I hope the Holocaust never happens again and people just except each others race.
