Eva Olsson

Imagine being taken away by soldiers. Imagine walking down the street being led by bullies and people are watching you like you were a Christmas parade and not even bothering to help, just thinking "Look at those idiots walking down the street". Imagine seeing your mom for the last time, not even able to say one last "I love you". Well, yesterday, we had a guest speaker who had gone through all of that. Her name was Eva Olsson.

She was taken away by soldiers just because she was Jewish and they hate Jews. That's how the whole Holocaust began. All because of hate. She was taken away to a camp in Auschwitz. She saw her mother for the last time and then everyone else in her entire family as well for the last time. She went through a lot. I felt extremely sorry for her because after everything she had gone through, she found a husband, but he died a short while after that.

The main message was that you should never hate. You can dislike if you must, but you should NEVER EVER hate. She even taught her grand kids to never use the word hate. It doesn't matter what religion you are, or what colour your skin is, or anything. It just matters about how you deal with it. Never judge people by their religion or skin colour. Just be yourself/
