I've been reading a lot of online articles about Auschwitz and other concentration camps this week due to today being the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
I have read quite a bit about the Holocaust. And when I was at the Holocaust Museum at one point I was talking with a couple of ladies, one maybe my age and and another much older. I don't always think before I speak but I said something akin to "it's unbelievable" and the old lady broke down crying and said something about it being true because she was there. I've made a lot of stupid mistakes in speaking, but never anything worse than that. It certainly was not what I meant.
I visit a lot of websites with personal accounts. I look at the pictures. I don't know the right phrase to use to say that I'm drawn to them. I don't want to say that I enjoy them, but I am curious and interested. Much like I have watched Escape from Sobibor and Schindler's List many times. I don't think Otto Frank would have published his daughter's diary except maybe he saw it as a way of honoring those who perished.
