THE HOLOCAUST


Today I decided to talk about the Holocaust (Shoah). It happened during the 2 World War when Hitler, the head of the Nazi Germany, built concentration camps where were killed approximately 6 milion jews but also homosexual, comunists, black people and disableds, it is considered one of the biggest genocide into the history. Today is 27 January and this day is dedicated to the victims of the Holocaust.


A lot of people talked about the Holocaust making some famous quotes, my favourite quote is Primo Levi's quote. He survived into the concentration camp of Auschwitz and from this horrible experience he said:

“I am constantly amazed by man's inhumanity to man.” 

from this quote we can understand how Primo Levi is amazed by the horrible thing that a man can do to others men.





                  



These pictures show two inhuman aspects of the concentrations camps: in  the photo on the left we can see a group of children, they also  were maltreated and killed with horribles ways like the "shower", in fact they were put in some shower where Nazi people used differents types of poisons and  children died poisoned, unfortunately a lot of children died in concentration camps.
While,in the photo on the right we can understand how people lived inside the "hovels" in concentration camps; they were maltreated, malnourished and the hygienic conditions were very bad, people died also because they contracted very dangerous sicknesses.


This is a soundtrack of "La vita è bella", a movie who talks about the history of an Italian  man and of his son  in a concentration camp  with Roberto Benigni

I think that the Holocaust is the worst event in the human history and we can understand how some people are so creazy to belive that it can exist a "pure race" and an inferior race. But I belive that exists one race, " the human race"and in this race must not exist differences that force a man to kill other man or an entire population.

HORSE SHOE
It symbolize good luck, because in the past they were made by blacksmiths who were considered lucky. It is also associated to good luck because some say that it contains magical powers.

                                  

DREAM CATCHERS
This is very lucky especially for Native Americans people, because they belive that it can catch negatives images from dreams.



                                                                         





LUCKY DICES 

We can find this lucky object especially into cars. Some say  that they protect the car from axcidents and other bad things. But they can be very lucky when they are rolled into the car while you are driving.

                                                        MY SUMMER HOLIDAYS
Last summer I went to Greece,on isle of Rhodes. I went there from 7th to 14th July. I travelled by airplane and it was the first time so I was very excited. I went with my father and we stayed in a hotel called Zeus situated in Rodi. It was sunny and very hot,in fact, I always wore a t-shirt. I visited the old city of Rhodes and a city called Lindos. In Lindos there was also a big temple on a high mountain and from there, there was a wonderful point of view. I also went to the beach, the water was spectacular but also very cold. I enjoyed a lot because I visited a lot of interestings places.

Harrods is an upmarket department store (so it is very expensive) in London Harrods founder is  Charles Harrod  who first established his business in 1824.  If you want to go Harrods, you must respect some rules. From 1989 Harrods has had a dress code policy. For example, you can't wear a soldier uniform, a scout toop. It's very very big, in fact, it's the biggest shop in Europe there are about 330 departments so you can buy everything! I think Harrods is the most beautiful department store in the world and I would like go there!

Black History Month, also known as African-American History Month in America, is an annual observance in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom for remembrance of important people and events in the history of the African diaspora. It is celebrated annually in the United States and Canada^] in February and the United Kingdom in October.The precursor to Black History Month was created in 1926 in the United States, when historian Carter G. Woodson and the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History announced the second week of February to be "Negro History Week."^[1] This week was chosen because it coincided with the birthday of Abraham Lincoln on February 12 and of Frederick Douglass on February 14, both of which dates Black communities had celebrated together since the late 19th century.The expansion of Black History Week to Black History Month was first proposed by the leaders of the Black United Students at Kent State University in February 1969. The first celebration of the Black History Month took place at Kent State one year later, in February 1970.Black history month was first celebrated in the unided Kingdom in 1987.By 1929 The Journal of Negro History was able to note that with only two exceptions officials with the State Departments of Educations of "every state with considerable Negro population" had made the event known to that state's teachers and distributed official literature associated with the event.
