Holocaust Impact

The Holocaust didn't just impact people regarding their lives. it also impacted their whole family generations. After somebody goes through such a traumatic time, their life cant just simple stay the same. They will be emotionally scared and sometimes even physically scared too. Their families generations will might live their life fearfully and be told stories about their ancestors in the Holocaust and will then be thankful for everything that they have and not take anything for granted. Unlike people who never had to go through a hard time like that.
 Their religion might also be affected. Most Jews, I would think, will stay Jewish. but some might even consider changing their religion out of fear because of what had happened in the past to people that they have loved. I feel sorry for the people who still get discriminated on because they are Jewish. I believe that they should not be judged just based on their religion. They are human too.

Current Events: Winter Olympics

The torch has been set a blaze in the Winter Olympics. However, not for Shawn White. His impressive score of 95.46 on his very first run didn't even get him into the semifinal round for his main event, the half pipe. Americans were shocked that our two time gold medalist could even qualify on this event. This is beneficial to all other snowboarders on the other side. Sadly, not for us. #NoMedalForWhite

Also, in the Winter Olympics, Germany is leading the way with 7 gold medals, 2 silver medals, and 1 bronze medal. The U.S.A is coming in at 6th place with 4 golds, 2 silvers, and 6 bronzes. Hopefully with the events still to come in the Olympics, the U.S.A can pull ahead and beat Germany just like we did in WWII.
