walking along those footsteps.

I haven't posted in over a month, which is absolutely terrible; I need to really kick my backside into gear!

the reason for this post is to talk about an event and a location that I simply cannot get out of my head. as of yesterday, I became an ambassador for the Holocaust Educational Trust, thanks to a four-part course by the LFA Project (Lessons

Wow, I can see why tha was a life-changing experience. Certainly one you're not going to forget. Last year, when we were on holiday in Holland, we went to one of the only death camps in Holland. There was a lot of children that were sent there and I heard some really sad stories. It really opened my eyes, especially seeing their names written on a memorial. Some died at one day old and that really upset me. So I kind of understand how you feel. Next time I see you, remind me to show you the few photos I took of the memorial =]

And I totally agree with your ending bit. The past should be a lesson for the future.

Hope you're alright, lovely <3

I feel better now I've actually written/talked to other people about it for some reason. xD

I think it's worst when you think of the individuals; when someone says a number, it doesn't really mean anything, y'know? But like you said, to think of the children, especially how young they were, it's scary to think that people could do such things.

I'd love to see those photos! I've got some of my own from Auschwitz too, I just wish they could capture the feeling of the place more.

Thanks Gabby :) <3

That makes sense! I think so, anyway =]

I definitely agree. I mean, six million is a lot but it's so hard to picture. Seeing all the different names - different lives - written down just makes it really hit home.

My brother took photos too and a woman complained at him for being disrespectful, but I feel that the ultimate form of respect is to make sure that this never happens again. These things need to be talked about and shared.

I'd love to see your pictures too :D

That’s really deep. I've always wanted to visit it just once. But I did visit the Holocaust museum up in D.C once or twice. And it was really sickening to see the shoes just piled up in one huge room, though I doubt it’s anywhere near the amount in the actual camp. But still it really makes you think. So yeah I know what you mean when you get angry seeing the racism and hatred today. I wish people could go through it just once and maybe they'd grow up and stop. But I think it’s good you can help people become more aware.

Hehe its okay if you don't update that much a busy girl is busy. C:
