Imagine Erica, Peter or Daniel's mother are still alive. Pick one of the three characters and ask yourself, "What questions would you like to ask the character?".  Explain why your questions are important to you. Tell the character what you've learned and how you feel after hearing their story. If you can relate her experiences to any conditions facing your generation, explain those connections. Describe for the character what you will do to teach future generations the lessons you've learned from studying the Holocaust.

The character I have chosen is Daniels mother. The question I would like to ask her is "What does it feel like being called a number all the time?" I would like to ask her that question because, if I was being called a number I wouldn't feel like I was in my place as a person. I would feel like just another person that had no reason to be in this world.  Another question I would like to ask Daniels mother is what did you think when Erika died in the holocaust. I want to ask her that question because if I lost a loved one in the holocaust I would  be really sad, and I wouldn't really know what to think if I had lost a person that i loved in the holocaust.I would also ask Daniels mother "What it feels like having to be away that long from your family?" I would ask that question because if I was away from my family for that long I would feel like I didnt really have a family.
