Thanks dude, yeah another book which is just good to look at when looking at first hand accounts and writings of anti semitism and the Fascist regime check out Stackelberg's "The Nazi Germany Sourcebook". Very informative.

They should make shirts that say

"I survived Auschwitz...

And all I got was this lousy t-shirt."

I love reading and learing about the Holocaust... There is a really good book called "Beacause of Romek" (I think that's the name... I read it my Junior year of H.S.). It's really graphic and the author who I believe his name was David Faber (I know that's his last name). He came and spoke at my school and by the end of this presentation, I was crying and that's when I realized that just to hate somebody, anybody over anything is ridiculous. It's really changed my life and maybe that's why today I'm so compassionate towards other people today, and against racist comments, even if they're supposed to be "a joke". The world is just so hard to grasp as a whole, and to be socially and culturally aware of all the wrong that has happened, and even is happening today as we speak, is hard for me to understand how hate can succumb someone as much as it does. I guess I'm a "hippie"? I just want to make the world a better place...
