Dear Ms. Allan,
Natasha and Kim would like to thank you sincerely. Your lecture was informative and very interesting and very intense. We learned the hardships the people suffered in and out of the camps. The lecture helped us understand and empathize with the struggles the Jewish people (and others, of course!) dealt with everyday.
Thank you very much for coming to speak to our class. We shall never forget it.
Dear Ms. Allen,
Thank you so much for the wonderful lecture you gave our class yesterday. I learned a lot more about the ghettos and feelings of anti-Semitism that led up to them, and I learned more about the conditions in death and work camps. I did not know earlier about the conditions in cattle cars traveling to the camps or the horrible experimnts Dr. Mengele forced innocent people to undergo.
Thank you for such an interesting lesson and great presentation!
Dear Ms. Allen,
Thank you so much for coming and talking to our class about the Holocaust. Like you, I have always found an interest in it, and I really appreciated the lecture. I didn't know much about the crazy doctor, and I found his experiments quite interesting and cruel. Although Nazi doctors did grotesque 'research', we have learned a lot of things in the medical profession from them. You are a wonderful speaker, and thank you for comming to our class.
sincerely,
Emily Schlenker
Dear Ms. Allen,
Thank you for the great presentation that you gave us yesterday. I thought it was very informative and well delivered. I learned that their were more than just jewish people that were exterminated during the Holocaust. I also learned that they were transported to the extermination camps in very cruel ways. Once again thank you.
Sincerely,
Colton Cross
Dear Ms. Allen,
Thank you for coming into our class yesterday and sharing your knowledge of the WWII Holocaust with all of us. The information and your views on different aspects of the genocide were very enlightening and helped me to see parts of this event in a very different light. For instance, I had always heard that conditions in the cattle cars used to transport the Jews and other 'non-Aryans' were horrendous, but your details and description added new dimension to the concept. I also had never taken into account the additional 5 million who were killed along with the Jews. Thank you again for your interesting and illuminating lecture.
Sincerely,

Dear Ms. Allan,
Thank you for coming in yesterday. I found your presentation really informative and and interesting, especially what we learned about Dr. Mengele and the experiments he used to do on the prisoners.

Dear Ms.Allen,
Thank you very much for coming to our classroom yesterday to speak to us about the Holocaust when our teacher, Mr.Ballou, was absent. Your lecture was informative and interesting. Personally, I enjoyed seeing the many pictures from the camps. I learned yesterday that the hair shaved off in the camps when the prisoners arrived was used to make bedding for German soliders. Also I learned the average lifespan of someone living in a camp was only six weeks. I also did not know that prisoners were color coded as they came into the camps and that the colors explained why they were there.
Once again, thank you for taking time from your busy day to come and speak to us.
Sincerely

Ms. Allen~
Thank you for the inspiring and thought-provoking presentation on the Holocaust. I had no idea how severe the transportation to the concentration camps was. Most importantly, however, I was thankful that you did not simply provide us with a multitude of gruesome facts, but also related the Holocacaust to the present. The poem struck me at the end when I realized the duty we have as individuals not to allow the rights of ANY particular group in society to be violated, even if we remain unaffected, because eventually the power of the oppressor will grow and we will find our own rights threatened, and noone to stand up for us.
Jeremy, Aaron, Jake:
Thank you very much for taking the time to come to our class. The presentation was outstanding and very significant to our learning of the Holocaust. We learned a lot of information about the Holocaust that we did not know previous to the presentation. We are now able to understand the severity of what really happened. Thank you again!
I really liked your presentation. Your enthusiasm and tone of voice really enraptured my attention the whole time. I found it really interesting that the prisoners of the camps, when transported, were held in horrible conditions. Thank you for broadening my knowledge and sympathy for the people of World War II.
Ms. Allen:
I appreciated your presentation on the Holocaust yesterday! I was rather interested in the lecture/discussion, and the visuals were a sublime addition.
I liked the stress you put on learning from our/Germany's mistakes throughout the holocaust, and how we must apply them to our lives now.
The most interesting thing, however, was when you were describing Dr. Mengele. He was a rather disturbed individual, and learning about his antics, though they were quite horrific, was an intriguing part of my day.
Thanks again,
Travis T.
Dear Ms. Allen,
Thank you for coming to vising our class. I have a great interest in learning about the holocaust, and your presentation was very informative and helpful to me. I have to admit that I was extremely shocked to learn about Dr. Mengele's expereriments on children. Although the picture of the scarred children wasn't very clear, I could still see the shocking difference in their skin tones. Thank you again for your very informative presentation.
Sincerely,
Heidi Lee
Dear Ms. Allen,
Thank you very much for coming and speaking to our class. Your presentation was extrememly intriguing and thought-provoking. I loved the way you used many pictures to literally illustrate your points and how you told us about real peoples' experiences. I hadn't known how the Nazis used the Jewish hair before, yet it makes sense. I also hadn't heard of the color-coding for different types of prisoners. It was also interesting to see the pictures of the bridges over the ghettos; I hadn't known about those either. The poem did really seem to encompass the situation and I love the last line where it says there was no one left to stand up for him/her. Thank you again for your fascinating presentation,
Katerina Siefkas
Dear Ms. Allen,
Thank you for coming in to teach our class about the Holocaust. Your presentation held many details which we were previously unaware of. Such as Dr. Mengele; His disturbing and disgusting "experiments" were truly some of the most horrific events in the Holocaust.
Once again, thank you.
Dear Ms. Allen,
Thank you very much for coming to our class to speak. You are a phenominal speaker and we can tell you feel strongly on the topic. There were many interesting facts incorporated in your speech that we had never heard before. We learned who the insane Dr. mangele was and some of the specific hardships that the Jewish people went through in and out of the camps. Thanks again!!!
sincerely,
Claire and Janine
Dear Ms. Allen,
Thank you very much for teaching us about the Holocaust and the life of people in Europe during that time period. Your lecture was very interesting and the facts that you taught us were intense. I learned that Dr. Mengele did experiments on children and pregnant women without putting them to sleep or using pain killers. I also learned about the struggle the Jewish people went through in order to escape the concentration camps. Thank you!
Thank you Ms. Allen, your lecture was neato. I learned a lot more about the Holocaust, all because of you. The most interesting thing I learned was the tortures that the psycho doc Mengele did to those kids and the pregnant moms; crazy stuff! well tank tu for coming!
Ms. Allan,
Thank you so much for coming to our class to teach us more details about the Holocaust. I enjoyed your energetic teaching style, which kept me attentive and interested the entire time. I learned many new things about the Holocaust from you. I was unaware that when people were transported to work/death camps in "cattle cars" that their trips could last for weeks at a time. I was also unaware, that jewish families would actually go out and buy the yellow cloth to make the stars to sew on their clothing. I had always thought it had been issued to them. I was also very surprised when I heard that some of the death marches lasted months and could be for hundreds of miles. Thanks again for taking the time to come to our class.

Dear Ms. Allan,
I thought the presentation was outstanding. It was truly informative about the harsh concentration camps. I learned that there were not only Jews in the camps, but others such as gypsies, and people of the government against Hitler.I learned that the different colored stars which the people wore in the camps categorized them as why they were there.The presentation was interesting and fun. Thank you for all your hard work.
Sincerely, Wil Dasovich
I'm very sorry for the misspelling of your name. Thank you Ms. Allen.
Thanks for coming to our class yesterday! Learning of Doctor Mendele and his insanity, including his experiments on pregnant women and children was very sad. The way the Jews were the target of this extreme genocide is baffling. It is interesting how most people only think of the Jews as being massacred but really there was many more people killed including: mentally ill, homosexuals, gypsies, and more...
thanks so much.

Natasha and Kim are very sorry for the misspelling of Ms. Allen. We would also like to add that we learned about the use of the prisoners hair and posessions.
Thanks again Ms. Allen!!
Dear Ms. Allen,
I would like to start off by saying how much of an impact your presentation had on me. Although we had read about the Holocaust before and have been told about it through the years, I had never understood it to the extent that you taught us yesterday. Thank you so much for coming in to our classroom to spread your knowledge on to us. It was extremely well researched and moving. I appreciate what you did for our class. It was one of the best lessons I have been given. I am happy to say that I now understand the Holocaust well.
Dear Ms. Allen,
Thank you very much for sharing with us your knowledge of the Holocaust. I found the stories of the people you interviewed very fascinating. You really opened my eyes to the hardships those in the camps faced every day and the precision of German records. Thanks again for coming in to speak to our class!
Sincerely,
Emily Schuster
Ms. Allen,
Thank you so much for coming to our class and talking to us about the Holocaust. I have personally always found the Holocaust interesting, and I found the information on the experiments on women and children both equally interesting and educating and at the same time sad. I only wish we could have heard the full presentation because I found alll the information fascinating and quite a bit of it was new.
Thabk you again.
Dear Ms. Allen,
i very much appreciate your presentation yesterday on the holocaust. It was much deeper than most presentations I have heard, focusing on the human element of the holocaust rather than the horrors done to the Jews. Rather than simply portraying the Jews as victims, it got into their minds and made you understand how they comprehended and suffered during their internment. This humanity gave the presentation feeling I've not seen before.
Dear Ms. Allen,
Thank you so much for coming into our class to teach us about the Holocaust. I found it very interesting and informative. I learned about the ways that the people of the concentration camps tried to look healthy in order to survive. For example, using blood to make their cheeks and lips look lively.
Thank you again!
Dear Mrs. Allen, ...
Thanks for coming to my class and lecturing us on the Holocaust. It was nice to see you again and I'm doing this because it is required and I learned that the average lifespan of a person in a camp was six weeks. I also learned that people were moved in cattle cars. I never thought about what they were moved in...ya so see you around some time...so Thank You!!!
Marisa...Smith...
Dear Ms. Allen,
Your presentation on the Holocaust was very intresting and informative. I learned a lot more detailed information that I did not know before. The part on Dr. Manellla and his techniques and experiments was my favorite part. I knew that there were experiments done in the concentration camps, but I didn' know how. Thank you very much for you very intresting lecture.
Elizabeth Hou
Dear Ms. Allen,
Thank you so much for coming in and speaking to our class. It was a very informative lesson and opened my eyes to the numerous acts of cruelty the Nazis envoked upon innocent people. I also learned how Dr. Mengele performed his experiments on children. Thank you!
Dear Ms. Allan
Travis and Justine would like to give you a very special thank-you. Your lecture was informational and touching.
it was really interesting to hear all of the stories about life in the work camps and extermination camps. We can't imagine how difficult it must have been to live in disheveled, dirty, close quarters with strangers, believing the only way to freedom was to work. It was a huge shock to hear that Hitler's last will [goal] was to create a gallery of pictures from the 6 million + jewish people he unlawfully exterminated. Thank you for your time and effort.

Dear Ms. Allen,
Jake Saville and I greatly appreciated your lecture on the holocaust. We found the information interesting and helpful in our understanding of the crisis in Germany during WWII. Thank you for taking time out of your day to come in and talk to us.
Ms. Allen,
thank you for spending your time helping to expand our understanding of the holocaust
Dear Ms. Allen,
I would like to firstly say, thank you. I enjoyed the presentation yesterday. The way you presented the Holocaust was spectacular. It kept me awake. *slight laughter*
Anyway, I learned more about it than I knew of before. For example, what happened to children. I never questioned on what happened to the chilren of the Holocaust. Then what fascinated me was the dire luck and will to live that people had to survive these atrocious camps. When you told me about that girl that solely survived due to the guy ran out of bullets three people before her. That is what I call amazing luck. Also, the girl who had to keep those diamonds her father gave to her.
Again, thank you for speaking. I loved your presentation.
Thank you,
Patricia S.
Dear Ms. Allen,
Thank you for the interesting and informative lecture on the Holocaust. I already knew much about the Holocaust, but I did not know about some of the more horrific details that the textbooks leave out. I learned about Dr. Mengele, and the torturous experiments he performed. I also didn't know that the Germans built bridges over the streets to keep the Jews separated from German citizens. Another thing I didn't know was how the Germans labeled the peoples they killed by different colors.
Thank you again for a great lecture.
Sincerely,
Madeleine Steger
Dear Ms. Allan,
I would like to thank you for taking the time to speak to our class about the Holocaust. I personaly learned many things. Mainly, how the children in concentration camps were rarely kept alive, and if they were it wasn't for long.
Dear Ms.Allan,
Thank you very much for coming in and teaching our class about the Holocaust. We thought your presentation was very insightful and educational. The personal stories you told us were riveting and inspirational. We thought it was interesting that the Germans used hair in their mattresses and pillows. Thank you very much for coming.

Dear Ms. Allen,
Thank you so much for coming and lecturing our class about the Holocaust. It was very interesting and we learned a lot. we never knew that the Jewish and Aryan people were seperated by bridges when they wanted to walk the streets. We found the stories very intiguing and it amazed us to hear real life accounts. Thank you so much for expanding our knowledge on this subject!
sincerely, Julianna T., Monica P., and Shannon K.
Dear Ms. Allen,
Thank you so much for coming into our class yesterday and taught us about the Holocaust and how it had many great impacts on many people. I learned about the suffering that people went through. Many had died horrific deaths, and those who survived have to live with the haunting memory of past.
Thank you so much for helping us understand more about the Holocaust.
Dear Mrs. Allen,
Thank you so much for lending us your time in order to give such a moving presentation. It was very informatitve, but made sure not to present the deaths that took place in the holocaust as merely numbers. We never knew how many different types of diseases were present in the concentration camps. Thank you again for providing us with such a heartfelt and interesting presentation.
-Netta and Nimmi
Dear Ms. Allen,
Thank you very much for your great presentation. I found it to be very informative and very interesting. Before the presentation, I didn't know about the cattle cars and the conditions in which they were transported in.
Thank you again for the great pesentation.
Sincerely,
Brandon Gudgel
Dear Ms. Allen,
Thank you very much for the presentation I learned a lot about the Holocaust. It was very informative, and showed me the brutality of the Holocaust. I also learned that over 5 million others died and it wasn't all Jewish people. It was a very hard and undeservede life. I also liked the stories of the survivors. Thank you very much.
Sincerly,
Teddy Brekhus
Dear Mrs. Allen
Thank you so much for taking your time to gives a wider view on the horrors of the Holocaust. It was very entertaining and educational. The presentation was very moving. I will use my new found knowledge of the past to try and create a brighter future. The epoch was an embarassment to mankind and never be repeated.
Although I knew much about the Holocaust from the prior teachings of Mr. Ballou, there were a couple new things that I did learn. For instance, I did not know that the soldiers of WWII broke off their own toes to prevent death from frostbite/gangrene. Another thing that I learned was that the Jewish people had to walk above the Germans on small bridges in the ghettos. Thank you for expanding on the important issues of the past. The Holocaust was horrible time in history and the people of the future should learn from the past to make sure nothing like this ever happens again.
Thanks again,

Dear Ms. Allen,
I appreciate the time you set aside to talk to our class about the Holocaust. I thought that the concentration camps were wicked cruel and the treatment of the prisoners was sad. The subject was very moving and and I hope to learn about it in even more detail. Thank you again for coming in.

Dear Ms. Allen-
Let me start off by saying that you are an AMAZING speaker. I don't thing i've ever been enthralled by one person talking in my life. You captivated my whole mind and painted the picture of the Holocoust so vividly. I wasn't sure if you were even speaking about it anymore, or if I, myself was in Germany in 1945. That's how clear you made it. Your real passion, intensity, and knowledge on the subject were all extremely pervasive throughout the lecture; it was truely impactful. Yesterday was the first time I really learned about the Holocoust.
Thank you SO MUCH!
sincerally,
Jonathan Kemnitz
