Hmm . . . Where to start? My experiences with this museum have been incredible. From feeling a special connection to the museum to taking students on a tour of the museum, I have learned a lot. This museum has helped me be more understanding and accepting of other people and other cultures. It has made me feel more accepting as a person. I have learned not to judge people because of something that other people have said. I have learned to just accept people for whom they are and to be open to new things. I have been able to realize that learning about the museum has helped me teach other people the things I have learned.

When we took my father’s gr.7 class around the museum in 2009, I was able to teach the children about not only the Holocaust but also how to be better people. I achieved this because through their realization of the hatred of humans, they began to understand the impact they have not only on the people around them, but also people they do not know. That was one of the greatest feelings I have ever had because I know that through my personal experiences, I was able to change someone else’s life.
