In my Holocaust memorial project, I showed strength in Social Awareness and Responsibility, especially through ethical thinking. I chose to focus my memorial on the children of Theresienstadt, a camp where many young lives were taken. I thought about the emotional and ethical impact of their stories. The butterfly in my memorial represents how their dreams and voices were trapped by violence and never had the chance to fully “fly.” By choosing this design, I tried to honor them as human with thoughts, feelings, and hope. One area of strength in this project was my ability to see history from the perspective of others, especially children who lived through the Holocaust. I used their own drawings and poems as a inspiration for the memorial. I also thought carefully about how the memorial would make others feel, especially young people, educators, and families of survivors. I wanted the message to be respectful, meaningful, and emotional, not just informative. One area I’d like to grow in is being more confident with sharing my ideas publicly. I had lots written down, but when it came to the small group presentation, i didn’t present much. In the future, I want to use what I’ve learned from this project to become more active in conversations about history, human rights, and standing up for others in real life but not just in school work. This project reminded me that history is more than just learning facts. It’s about understanding people, making ethical choices, and imrpoving the future.
