-What are your expectations of the visit to Buchenwald, i.e. what do you,
personally, hope to learn from, or perhaps come to terms with during the
visit? How do you think you will react (emotionally or otherwise) while
you are at the camp?
As I stated before, I have no specific expectations of the visit to
Buchenwald. I feel that I have to experience something before I can
comment on it. And I have never actually been to a concentration camp,
only seen pictures in textbooks and in movies. I assume that my
experience will be much different than that, but how I will react or feel
after the visit, I cannot say.
-What things, specifically, do you think are influencing your various
expectations--for example, books, courses, friends, etc.? Do you ever feel
like you "should" feel or think certain things about going to a
concentration camp? What? Why?
From what I know of the Holocaust, I assume I should feel awful after
seeing where victims were killed by the millions by Nazi soldiers. I
would say that I have been somewhat influenced by my past, heritage and
family.I learned that Hitler and the Nazi party were icons of evil,
something that should never take place again. I agree indefinitely from
seeing the results of Nazism; people should have stopped Hitler before he
ever reached his politcal peak, before he established his regime. >>
