The
following true story about watching a documentary movie in my high school
history class might be offensive to sensitive readers. Thus, reader
discretion is advised.
At Duluth Minnesota East High School, during my history
class, I watched a monochrome movie about the Nazi death camps. The many disturbing and graphic images of
these death camps upset my mind and turned my stomach. I sure was grateful that the movie was made
using monochrome film, instead of color film.
I don’t think I could have kept my breakfast in my stomach if that movie
had been made using color film.
It was during that painful to watch, fifty minute movie
that I determined to never let my inalienable rights be taken from me, or allow
anyone else's inalienable rights to be taken from them. Always choose freedom over slavery and
death. Despite being many years after I
watched that movie, those words and images still have the power to move my
emotions and thoughts.
Besides giving you loyal readers insight into my past
and my current mind, what’s the point of this post?
"Never Again"
"I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too
great a burden to bear."
- American Baptist minister Martin Luther King, Jr.
