Survivor’s Guilt Survival -- the term conjures up thoughts of primal instinct. Doing whatever it takes in order to survive. The term can also bring to mind thought of wars or battles where the people who were still left standing were the survivors. In the context of this essay, the term will be used to define the select group of people who managed to continue their physical existence, either through determination or simple happenstance, where the rest of their friends or family members did not. These

Ravensbruck was a concentration camp during the Holocaust that still stands today. It was mostly used to hold Jewish women but also many others. But, it was not one of the most well-known camps of the Holocaust. Although it was located near many cities that had camps that we know of today, its existence was kept from the public.

I enjoyed reading this book a lot due to the fact that it influenced me in many ways. The first way this book influenced me was how strong hope is. We underestimate many times how strong hope is. We usually complain and complain and never even think about hope. We just get down on ourselves because of the things that we don’t like. Let’s face it, we are lazy.
