I've listened to some of the survivors speak of their experience...it's heart wrenching, and I'm not one to let my emotions show!

This is the reason why, whenever I read an opinion from some armchair historian...I tend to not pay much attention to them! Better to listen to those that survived, then someone who read about it!!!

My co-worker's mother was a survivor and absolutely refused to talk about it, so I never went there whenever I'd run into her.
