End of the Journey

Overall, the readings taught me many things. Firstly, I learned that I should always assist the ones who are in need. The people from Norway, Denmark, Germany, and Finland were also in difficult conditions, but they did their best to help the ones who were in the most tragic situations, the Jews. This shows that goodness is present everywhere and we should practice this goodness to make a world a better place. Secondly, I learned that I should appreciate the world that I am living in. Presently, there are no wars going on and I am living in such a peaceful country, Canada. I am able to do what I want to do and I am attending a school that is one of the best schools in the country. Hence, this reading encouraged me to become more mature as a man.
However, the sad part is that “the percentage of the Righteous was so small compared with the numbers of Jews who were killed.” Although there were many people who supported the Jews, these efforts weren't as big as the people who suffered and died. This shows how brutal Holocaust was and people should be educated to prevent events such as this.
