@seer: That sounds interesting. What did he have to say?

Wow, really now? Sounds like an interesting experience. What'd he/she say of note?

He spoke about his experiences and then began talking about how he, years later, met up with the soldier who saved him, and as a kid he though that man was an angel.

And he spoke about how he sees all of the nasty, awful things still going on, and asked if we really, truly learned anything.

He spoke about how he thinks that peace and reconciliation are blessings and was generally an incredibly kind man.

Nice. Was the soldier that saved him German?

No, the soldier he mentioned was one of the american ones who liberated Buchenwald.

But it was an interesting experience and I feel my life is richer for it.

I also am filled with disgust that how some people in my class will cry at the finale of fucking Thor but this sweet old man telling them about how they killed his baby nephew and mother doesn't phase them.

However, he did actually get three of my friends who rarely ever get emotional a bit teary-eyed, as well as me. He nearly began to cry when he talked about his brother, who was sick, and got loaded onto a truck and shot, and despite how he had the chance, he never did say goodbye, or any of the things you would like to tell your loved ones before they die.

I'm surprised anyone wouldn't be affected by this man sharing his genuinely terrible experiences. Especially if you're there with him when you hear the story. Tears are contagious after all.

I'm just glad he's living on today, ready to share his story, and so that no one will forget his feelings and his experiences.

Also, the ending of Thor was not that sad. Come on people.

The reason he began telling his story?

Some piece of fucking shit teacher in Alberta was TEACHING HIS STUDENTS THE HOLOCAUST DIDN'T HAPPEN.

It was at this point he said.

"I have an obligation to tell the story, now."

I think we should learn something from the holocaust survivor.

Scratch that, many things.
