Valkyrie

I really liked the move Valkyrie, and I thought it was crazy how Hitler came so close to being assassinated and how so many people were willing to risk their lives to stop Hitler. I really liked how even though as I was watching the movie, I knew the plan was going to fail, but they still made it into such a suspenseful moment when the bomb finally does go off. Overall, I think Valkyrie was really well done, and I would recommend it to anyone. Especially to show that not at Germans in Nazi Germany were evil.

Holocaust Museam

Even though the trip could have ran a little smoother, I still thoroughly enjoyed my trip to the Holocaust Museum. There were tons of interesting things to look at, and I really liked looking at the genuine Nazi artifacts because it is crazy to think that at one time there was an actual Nazi soldier wearing that stuff. I also really enjoyed the survivor's story and I definitely saw home many people risked themselves just to save the life of one person. Overall, it was a really fun trip and I would definitely not hesitate to go back.

My Family's WW2 Story.

Luckily, no one in my family had to fight in WW2, because my great-grandparents were too old, and my grandparents were too young. My Grandpa was born in 1929 so he was about 12 years old when Pearl Harbor happened.One time he told me about how he could remember when it happened and how it was all over the newspapers and radios, and how many of his neighbors were rushing out to join the military. I know its nothing too exciting, but it was still interesting for me to hear about the events of WW2 from someone who was alive during it.
