This makes me cry.
So many of them had hope. They hoped to find their spouses someday when everything was over. They didn't even have a little ring to remember them by. That's all they could do. Remember. So didn't make it and now they are slipping in our thoughts as the spouse grows old and dies. Not even a ring or a head stone to remember them by. They only exist by thoughts. This is sad.
Rings were confiscated when they entered the camps, meaning survivors wouldn't have been able to get them back when they were freed. It doesn't mean they didn't reunite later on, y'know? I think of Vladek and Anja Spiegelman. Both Auschwitz survivors, they found each other after the end of the war.
Even if the rings got left behind, maybe the survivors found their spouses when the war ended.
That's what I like to think, anyway. I know the majority of them died.
Is it bad that Hitler is one of my role models? I don't like that he killed all the Jews, gays, gypsies, handicapped, etc, but I admire his determination hard work and ability to pull his country out of their huge economic depression.
the reasons why you like him KINDA make sense but he is the last person to look up even if they are hard working and persuasive.to a person who claims that murder is a good way to solve a problem is bad
if the person you look up to has bad morals you should not be looking up to them in my opinion because you want a good person to be your role model
that last part is my opinion
When I was at the Holocaust Museum in DC, there is this one room where you use a footbridge to walk over a sea of shoes that were accumulated at just one camp. I lost my composure at that point. Shit got real.
What would be darker is that nazi's would melt these rings down, separate the gold from the iron, creating gold bars from the gold, and bullets from the iron.
That's right, they used the wedding bands of their murder victims to shoot Allied troops.
I went to the DC holocaust museum too and they actually have one of those box train things that the people were actually crammed in to arrive at a concentration camp. Just walking in and standing in there gave me chills.

Beautifully put hungergames.
