39. Listen a Holocaust Survivor tell his or her story

On March 8, 2009, I was able to here another Holocaust survivor tell here story. Her name is Elizabeth Mann and she told the story about her life during WWII at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles. I actually ended up meeting her in the elevator on the way up to the museum and she asked me to come see her speak.

In October of 2008 I went to my old school Marymount College to hear Laura Hillman, a Holocaust survivor, tell her story. Her story was really good and intense and she has actually written a book about her story called I Will Plant You A Lilac Tree. I was very inspired by this woman and her story. Everyone need to hear Holocaust survivor's stories because they won't be around for much longer.
