Geneocide

if the title is spelled wrong, i blame ellen.
anyway...
I really enjoyed the lady that told about her childhood experience with the Holocaust. She was halarious...me and 10 points thought so at least...I love that she was blunt in what she said and she knew who she was and what she wanted to say reguardless of anything else. She said some people like me and some people may hate me and I just say whatever. I think thats so great. But about her experience as child in the Holocaust also had powerful meaning. The way that her life was affected was incredible. I think the part that was so hard for me to hear was that yes she could move on and use the experience in a positive, but that she would never ever be able to forgive the soilders. I think thats understandable given the circumstances and that it is only by the grace of God that we are able to forgive other humans for the mistakes made. I also really appreciated her honesty when she talked about her faith in God. She came out on a Christian campus knowing she was Jewish and still shared her story. So basically I not only learned a lot about the tramatizing past, but more so about her life as a whole and the decisions she has made to get to be where she is now impacting lives.
