The holocaust

The people that i researched for this project was Mike and Gussie Zaks. Mike and Gussie Zaks were two holocaust survivors. Both of them were originally from Poland. When they were sent to the concentration camps they were sent to Auschwitz.
They were resilient because they had to go through one of the hardest times in history just because they were a different religion. Them, being Jews, were not thought of as equals to Hitler. During the holocaust they were probably around being teenagers. Now a day they live on to tell the story of the holocaust from a first hand witness' perspective.
The current people were the Jackson 5. The way they connect is because they were both underdog groups of people who stayed strong and got through being criticized. Even though during the holocaust many Jews were killed those who weren't stayed strong!

In this post, you made some very strong points about the Holocaust survivors, but unfortunatly you can barely read anything in the paragraph that is in yellow. If you changed that, it would be so much better!
Good Job :)!
