We were just learning about the tragedy of Jews during the Holocaust in American History class. Hoping to learn more about the atrocity, my friend and I decided to tour the Museum of Jewish Heritage. At first, it was just out of curiosity and of course just me trying to fulfill the academic blog post requirement for Freshmen Seminar class. I expected the trip to be as boring as any other museum I’ve been to (I’m not so much a museum person). However, 10 minutes into touring the museum, I’ve found it to be an amazing experience. Looking more into the events that many Jews went through like that genocide during World War II, I was caught in disbelief. No matter how much I was told about the hardships Jew had faced during that time period, it wasn’t really until this day that it stood out to me. Honestly, it was a great opportunity for me broaden my knowledge about the things in life and learn more about the cultures around me.
