Reply To: When you see Holocaust era films, how do they affect you?

MOD i agree with you 100%. I personally spoke to Mrs. Pearl benish (she came to speak in my school and I went to visit her after that at her home in BP) and I just cried when I walked out. We cannot imagine what they went through. it is beyond our comprehension. I shudder when I think about it- how could they have been so strong and I cant be strong in things that are so much easier to give up for Hashem. They gave their lives so that their friends/children can survive…. Very scary to think about! I remember in HS my principal did not let us watch some parts of a Holocaust video because she said we will automatically go back to regular life in a few days and then there is a taana against us. if we dont watch it then there is no complaint about the fact that we just go back to regular everyday life.
