Experience : Project Preservation

I would like to participate in the Immokalee Readers Program to help and work with children who are facing difficulties in school. This program will also help prepare me for my future career in working with children. As a tutor I will be playing a part in helping these children accomplish their goals in school. I want to be able to help these kids who need someone there to help them with their education; to be a role model for them. I believe that everyone in this world, especially children, need someone they can look up to. Someone who is willing to help them improve academically and succeed in life.

The Holocaust was the systematic killing and extermination of millions of Jews and other Europeans by the German Nazi state between 1939 and 1945. Innocent Europeans were forced from their homes into concentration camps, executed violently, and used for medical experiments. The Nazis believed their acts against this innocent society were justified when hate was the motivating factor. The Holocaust illustrates the consequences of prejudice, racism, and stereotyping on a society. It forces societies to examine the responsibility and role of citizenship, in addition to approaching the powerful ramifications of indifference and inaction. (Holden Congressional Record). Despite the adverse treatment of the Jews, there are lessons that can be learned from the Holocaust: The Nazi’s rise to power could have been prevented, the act of genocide was influenced by hate, and the remembrance of the Holocaust is of the utmost importance for humanity.

One essential lesson I learned from reading and discussing the Holocaust in History and English classes is that it is important to remember and learn from the Holocaust. By doing so, we can prevent genocides in the future, strengthen our military, and honor those who were in the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a genocide that occurred from 1939 to 1945 during World War II, and it killed about eleven million people - six million of those people were Jews.

I chose this topic because it is the most interesting topic I have ever learned in school. Some people do not know the whole story of the Holocaust, they only know of bits and pieces. Most people know that Hitler rose to command and had a strong dislike of specific groups of people, which consequently began the Holocaust. The Holocaust changed the whole world’s perspective. Our fellow human were tortured, starved, and burned alive for being different from society. I wrote this essay to show that there is always another side to a story. Now I give you “The Holocaust Revealed”.

Those who make a habit out of traveling the world, more often than not, become more of an extrovert than they may have been prior to their many journeys. It is no secret that those who make the choice to travel more often have a bit of extroversion in them, however, even the least social of any group typically find a way out of their shell when traveling. No matter the destination, it is the various interactions with people from foreign backgrounds, beliefs and cultures that present a challenge to the normality that most individuals cling to. These initial interactions create a comfortability, or openness rather, to engage with new people and see humankind through an altered, more optimistic lens than once

Read carefully the following piece of text. What does it tell us about cross cultural encounters?

Assisted young children between the grades of preschool to 8th grade in their education. I decided to volunteer because the children of today will be the children of the future and the more smart and educated they are the better they will be in the future. Another reason I helped was because it is hard for young children to adapt to the lifestyle of constantly moving from one place to another. Since their parents are migrants it can have a negative impact on them and their education. I remember one little girl is from Florida but every summer her parents move up to Michigan to work in the fields, but once the harvest is over they move back to Florida. She was behind in school and with the help of teachers and myself we motivated and helped her out so she was able to catch up. I really enjoyed volunteering the past two summers ago at the summer migrant program. If I had another opportunity to help I

Learning about Inge Auerbacher has changed my views about the Holocaust in multiple ways. One thing that I am going to take away from this is to not treat someone worse than I would treat myself just because they are different than me. After I saw all the pain , emotionally and physically, that Inge went through, I would never want to make them go through that. I also want to start to include more people in activities I do. Many times I stick with my one friend group because I feel comfortable around them but I now want to go and include more people that are different than the people I usually hang out

If you were a teacher, what would you want your students to get from the Holocaust unit? Personally, I would want them to get that 1943-1945 was a bad time for everyone. Prejudice can lead to terrible things. Also, I would want them to get that if it happened once then it can happen again. I would also want them to know that they should be grateful because they didn’t go through these types of things. From torturing people to killing innocent children that is just only a few things that ended up happening in the Holocaust. I will be showing evidence for my ideas from the unit.

As a Jewish person, who has been largely exposed to Holocaust material, it is hard simply to focus upon one piece to write about. I attended Hebrew school from the time I entered pre-school, until the day of my bat mitzvah. The middle and high schools that I attended devoted much of their curriculums to teachings about the Holocaust. My family also felt it very valuable for me to know and understand. Thus, I have read Night and attended a speech given by Elie Wiesel. I have read the Diary of Anne Frank, other memoirs and accounts, as well as fictional and rigid non-fictional books. I have watched Schindler’s List, Sophie’s Choice, Life is Beautiful, and a host of

The Holocaust was a traumatic event that caused the deaths of over 6 million Jews. In today’s world, people don’t know what really happened inside the hell holes they called Concentration Camps. Jews, Gypsies, Gays, and elderly people were worked to death inside the detainment centers. To prevent a massive genocidal act like this from happening again, learning from past mistakes could prevent them from happening again.

The Holocaust Project is a traveling art exhibition organized/arranged as a journey into the darkness of the Holocaust and out into the light of hope. Judy Chicago and her husband, photographer Donald Woodman executed the project with the help of a number of skilled artisans and it took them eight years to finish it. The exhibition consists of a mixture of painting and photography, two stained glass windows and a tapestry.

Imagine yourself almost naked in a place you don’t know where with other almost naked people you don’t know. You were a prisoner that was worked to death and unlikely survived. This is what it was like to be a victim of the holocaust where more than 6 million people died. There are people that survived the holocaust and it taught them important lessons that they now teach to people who weren’t even born by then. These important lessons can help make sure a genocide like the holocaust never happens again.

This made me feel more educated about genocide and where it came from. How genocide started and what the word means and how it came from different parts. I felt I understand What Genocide is better and that it's a horrible thing that can actually happen and it's not fake. Genocide was such a tragedy so many people died because of genocide. The Crime of Genocide made me want to know more informations about it and who were leaders of genocide as an example Adolf Hitler was from Germany, Benito Mussolini was one but for Italy. There are so many thing You don't know about.

I have a high level of cultural and personal maturity gained from rare life experiences, such as my rural upbringing, being a first-generation college graduate, being a twin, and being the child of divorced parents; however, nothing has been more influential than my somewhat extensive travels. I have traveled to and lived in many places with differing cultures and sub-cultures. To name a few: Portland, Oregon; Los Angeles, California; Dallas, Texas; New Orleans, Louisiana; and Copenhagen, Denmark. I mention these locations because they are all similar in some regards, but also very different. People’s behaviors, values, norms, and interactions are all unique in these places. Experiencing and welcoming these differing ways of life has heightened
