Group 2 Reflection for Day 3

On day 3, we went to the concentration camp. From this visit, we learnt how to treasure one’s life. This is because we saw gruesome pictures of how the prisoners were tortured and killed. We also learnt we should appreciate the peace we have in Singapore where all races are treated equally unlike in World War 2, where the Jews were treated with discrimination. We were disturbed by the gruesome pictures and we felt very sorry for the victims. The concentration camp served a warning from history to prevent the holocaust from happening again.

Next, we went to the Nazi Rally Site, we learnt that we should set long term goals. Hitler was a strategic planner. He planned carefully the places to hold his rallies to ensure that it was accessible to all. He connected the train routes to the rally site where all his supporters gathered. He went all out to ensure the success of his plans. He was willing to push the boundaries to achieve greater height. The last place we went to was the Palace of Justice. It was where Hitler sends those who opposed him on trials. This taught us the importance of fair treatment of all races.

To conclude, these visits have taught us that we should have a vision to achieve long-term goals but not to the expense of hurting others. Ambition serves as a motivation to reach our goals. We should accept others for who there are and not to discriminate them.
