After many hours of hard and dedicated work, River and I finally finished our project! The project wasn't exactly what we anticipated, but I think it still turned out as an overall very well done product. Next time, I would give myself more time (this tends to happen with every project), and maybe the project could be even better than it is. Originally we wanted to use photographs I had taken, but I'm not sure if that quite worked out...
Furthermore, I learned more than I thought I would about the Holocaust through the process of researching and creating the final product. Due to the creation of our own journal entries, I was really able to get a point of view from what survivors, supporters, and others playing important roles in World War II really felt like. I was able to see the atrocities associated with the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, as well as the experiences in concentration camps. It really makes you wonder what the point of all that was...
I often find that I have the same procrastination problems as you. I'm glad you finished, though! And even if the project wasn't exactly what you anticipated, it's creative and innovative and I'm so excited to see it!! I agree with you. A lot of time all of the hate and bombing seems unnecessary. Hopefully one day we'll live in a world where this just looks like another silly mistake from the people in past generations.
