The Holocaust was a dark time in history, and yesterday we had a survivor of the Holocaust come in to speak about it. Eva Olsson was 19 when she was told that she was going to make bricks. She had been living in a very small apartment in Hungry. She had to walk a very long time to boxcars. She had to stand up in these boxcards for many days. Many People died She ended up getting through it.
When she got to her destination all the people were put in a line. A man would tell them to either go left or right. If you went to the left you were killed. If you were sent to the right you were safe.
Eva was eventully sent to a different camp, The same place that Anne Frank had died. She became very sick and almost died. She was also very weak during this time. Fourtunatly soldiers came and got all of the prisnors free. Eva was brought to Sweden and that's where she met her husband. Unfourtunatly Eva's husband died when he was 38 because of a drunk driver.
The main lesson Eva tried to explain to us is that you should never say hate. Hate is what started world war 2, and many people died because of it.
