Holocaust AoW Impressions - 2/16/16

          During the gallery walk I learned that direct Holocaust survivors have a higher chance of getting schizophrenia than the average human. This is because of all the things they have seen and had to live through. People who were indirectly affected to the Holocaust have a 27% of developing schizophrenia. People who directly affected by the Holocaust had a 41% higher chance than those who were indirectly affected. Those who were born in the Holocaust had even higher chance.

          I also learned that some Holocaust survivors want to help the world. One survivor wants to make sure that future generations know that history is important and should be learned. They believed this because they didn't want history to repeat itself. Another survivor wanted to help Syrian refugees. This survivor wants to help because she basically went through what they are currently going through. She loved through the Holocaust and knows the feeling of this situation. They know what it's like seeing innocent people die and don't want these people to see it too.
