Eva Olsson and the Holocaust

Eva Olsson is a very power full amazing life changing woman who survived the Holocaust. she came into my school to talk to us about her life story and her struggle to stay alive.

At first when i found out htat the first thing we were doing this morning was having someone talk to us about her life story i had no clue that it was happening but didn't really think it was going to be boring consitering the fact that i love history. so when we got into the chapel and sat down they started to talk about how eva Olssen just recently came out with her story about her life in the Holocaust. Once she started to talk i really got into it. 

The part were she started to cry was when she started to talk about her mother. the holocaust started in 1933 and ended in 1945 shwas only 19 years old when she was separated from her mother 19 years old. how would you feel if you were separated from your mother that young with so much responsibilitie but now you have no one to old and get through it.

Not only did she lose her mother but she lost her entire family. 


When the ally forces took over and ended the holocaust she moved to sweden were she married and had two chidren. to make you feel even worse about how sad her life is her husband died at a young age of 37. although her life was tough she got through every day of her hard life. She may not had a smile on her face but she surrvived because she had confidence. confidence that made her want to live her hard life for one more day or more she just knew she had to. Thats why shes here today!
