After effects

    The part of the Holocaust memorial that most affected me were the parts that showed how many and how the Jewish people were killed. The museum showed shoes of all of the people who died, it also showed replicas of gas chambers and ovens where the Germans tried to cover up the genocide. This really impacted me because I actually felt fear. I really pictured all of those people being killed, or burned. The museums replica of the door really emphasized the locks and the size. The door was really large and lifelike, by just seeing the door you could picture what the room would look like to the gas chamber. It looked just like a door to your death and that's what it was. Visiting the Holocaust Museum really made my realize that the Holocaust actually happened. It made realize what humans are capable of and what a horrible time this would have been to live in. The memorial was frightening, but I am really glad I got the chance to see into the past.
