Peter Fritsch - "Quote"

"The Nazi government was, by our standards, a bunch of crooks and murderers."
My grandpa said this while talking about his escape from Vienna, Austria, and getting out as quickly as he could. It's been sixty-nine years since he fled his home during the Holocaust, and he could not remember much about his feelings regarding the change and being taken away from what he knew. Therefore, this quote seemed the closest to how he felt.


At the end of our conversation, my grandpa added that the Holocaust was "a horrible and very interesting time."

Good explanation! Your blog is very nice and informative.

My only suggestion is that the quote could have been a little longer and more specific. Otherwise, great job!

Hey Sam,

I think that your grandpa must have told you an awesome yet terrible story about his experiences in the Holocaust.

The explainition was short and to the point, but you forgot a very big thing to add. I know that its obvious what he said means but if you added what you thought his quote meant it might have been a better explanation.

Just try the lenghten your explanations more because its kinda unclear what the quote is supposed to mean and how it shows resilience.

Other than that your choice of quotes and the use of 2 quotes makes you description great and keep doing what your doing!

Good Job,
