On the 16th of November 2022, my peers and I went on a trip to the Imperial War Museum. Last half term we were learning about the holocaust, so we went to the holocaust exhibition in the museum, over there we went into different rooms and saw a lot of artifacts from the time period of the holocaust. One thing at the exhibition that really caught my eye was this board game that kids used to play. It caught my attention because in the game you have to kill each other to go to the next block so the game taught children to kill people from a young age. At the exhibition we also saw posters that use to be hung up during the holocaust and they said things like ‘Come join the Nazi’s and your life will be all perfect’. Another thing was the clothes that the Nazi’s use to wear and what the Nazi judges would wear, the Nazi’s uniform was black, red and white whereas the Nazi judges uniform was just black. Another thing that got me very interested was that at the exhibition there were quotes on the walls. I'd say the quote that caught my attention was ‘Hell is still a paradise compared to a concentration camp’. This quote caught my attention because it tells us how badly the Jews were treated. I really enjoyed going to the Imperial War Museum as I did learn some new stuff over there about people's personal lives and it was pretty interesting because the stories told us a lot about people's lives and how they were treated.
