the holocaust was a devastating event affecting millions of people. the German army targeted the Jewish race an sought to wipe them from the earth. Hitler was in charge of the Nazi propaganda and responsible for the death of over 6 million men, women, and children. few people survived the horrific event, and even fewer are alive today. in the documentary, a women tells her story about her experience. as a twin she was experimented on along with many other sets of twins. her sister survived through the holocaust, but died of kidney failure years later. through the film, she explains how the events happened, and what she was feeling during these times. in the end she forgives the man responsible for her sisters death, and makes a second trip to the location of where her parents and the rest of her family was brutally murdered. one would think as humans we would have more of a conscience than to let someone walk into another country and execute millions of people as Hitler did. however, it took some time before much was done to stop the genocide from taking place in Germany and Poland. even now, millions of people are affected by the events that took place in the 40's. this event should be a learning point for the rest of the world and should teach us all to not be so passive about things like racism or hatred.
