I am speaking about speaking and i will tell you what to prompt me. It was an awakening for me when i heard skinheads denying that never happened it was just like a tongue and to my brain to my mind to say hey sonny.

I am a catholic. 14 years old i grew up in wilmington delaware. I am from new york age 13. But i do relate to the jewish people and how they survived the holocaust because they are like a brother religion tourists knowing there was someone who just one person could kill over a 1000000 people makes me feel. Its hard for a good person to stand but that it is what it is but you young people i hope and if you do you will be strong and really stand up for the right things. For the right things because all the bad underline the main thing is not to close your eyes when something is the gong not that i want to. Spend it my mom was pregnant with me and the nurse.

Your age you know when the war broke out there for things. And to see. Witnessing things what i have seen. It is like i say i dont care you hate. I cannot this have to come from a higher board i am not the one to forgive what i see. No but i will not hate because the hate. Will destroy me and now be a hate theyre like them. Your ability to say that youre not ever going to hate. It when youre fighting with will be like oh i hate you or whatever but you dont hate them obviously but even just to say that is just wrong considering the fact that he actually have a reason to hate. And i think it. Says thank you for that. Thank you thank you. Thank you thank you jill. You know. I never thought that really. I had a very good eye for crows back let me tell you that no tail it was really done. And. In the war. When the germans came mean they had they used tailors. To. But here you can see em here by demand sheen sawing. C. C. M. This is the rush of a day. To let it go lets put it. Memories said memory its. Just seeing myself my most walking the biggest. Which was really i would say. It was a. Hand to a left turn right when you were ready to. Specify into camps what it needs. Selection. If. And once more they would still make me smile. We were all day off watching. And no one knows what is supposed to be against. Janet. My mouth to the left and self to. Was merely a morning hi here decide something most of us.

She has impacted me in ways i could have never imagined but like what she was telling us about her mom thats what got to me the most because my mom. Is everything to me and if i watched her walk away from me knowing what was going to happen. I cant even imagine being Strong Enough to go on from that point. Teenagers are really hard to reach now theyre distracted with their phone the internet the social networks and i think that sonia changed that for me at least. She had such a personal message that it was hard not to put yourself in her place and think about what it would be like to be her and i think that that got all of our attentions she made me want to change things the way things are she made me want to make an impact on the world and i think thats why its so important that she keeps talking to people and keeps changing peoples lives like she did mine.
