[] I, Judith Jaegermann, am one of the survivors of Holocaust. When I was young, some stones were thrown form the neighbours’ windows. They threw stones to my house just because we were Jews. Many things in my town were not allowed to Jews like us. Many houses bore captions in larger letters: “Do not buy in Jewish shops” or “Jews get out.” One day, my mom received a printed summon, instructing us to join a “transport” which dragged us to the concentration camps. My family could not use our own names. My mom got 71501, I got 71502, and my sister got 71503, instead of names.

My name is Jong Yeol Kim. I am a survivor of Korean War. On June 25th, 1950, Korean War was broke out. Since I was over 14 years old, I was enlisted with my father. I was sent to the training center, but my father was sent directly to the front. After the training, I was also sent to the front. In my first battle, I was in a panic. I wasn’t ready to kill same human as us. However, after that battle, I realized that if I don’t kill, I would get killed. So, after that battle, I tried to kill the enemies, but I was still horrified. Once when I was injured much, I thought of why we are doing this terrible thing. Anyways, after the ceasefire on July 27th, 1953, the war was stopped and most of people lost their families, houses, and so on. I still remember the horror of the war, and I think I learned many things from the war.
