Quotation


We must live, and when this is all over, we must work to make the world a better place.  And if we die, we will die knowing that it was not our fault, that we did our best, and we can go to our deaths in dignity… I want you both to live…And to remember...You must choose love.  Always choose love.”  Erika Daniel's Story


My mom used to take care of a very sweet lady her name was Jeanine and I went with my mom when I was little to her house and she used to tell me stories about her life and what obstacles she had to over come. I didn't remember much of the stories that stuck with me because I asked her why are there numbers on her arm and she said it was from a camp. Jeanine was in Poland when Germany invaded she and her two brothers were with her mom and dad when German officials were at her door she told me that her family was taken outside and that is when she saw her mom and dad go away(killed). Her brothers and her were taken away to a scary place that is when her brothers and her were split up and her older brother told her to be strong and that they will see each other again but they never did.But she told me that instead of being angry at the world and hating her life she looked for the bright side and she found it. Jeanine in her time in the concentration camp met a man and they got married and came to America and I think that her story really relates to the quote from Daniel's Story because it shows how she found love and chose to be happy and made a better life for herself.
