A most wonderful blog that was supposed to be about the books we're reading, but is rather mostly about Elly Kushner

Night question prompt two
Think about our grades (7th-8th) for a second. And think about the fact that in the holocaust two-thirds of all European Jews were killed. 2/3 of 25 is about 17, meaning that 17 of us would have been killed, which leaves 8 people. Since there are 8 people in 7th grade, it's almost like had we been there all of the 8th graders would have died. That is truly insane to think about, think about your family and your friends, two-thirds of them dead, when thought about that way it's easier to understand how many people were really killed. Imagine if one day you had to leave your house, leave your school, leave everything you know, just because someone decided they didn't like you because you were Jewish, and because of that know you and your entire family had to die. So look around tomorrow and think about three of your closest friends and think about how horrible it would be to be in the holocaust and know only one of them is gonna make it out alive.
