history is sad

We went on a History excursion today to the Perth Holocaust Institute. Sad, but pretty similar stuff to what we'd been learning in class. But then they had a lady come in, Rosa something something, who had lived through the war. Now, I'd just assumed she was someone who'd lived through it as a commoner, life relatively easy, she was unaffected, maybe an Australian or something who had a basic idea of what happened. However, it turned out she had been a Polish Jew who escaped persecution, hid throughout the years of war from the S.S. Soldiers and finally was liberated, and came to Perth in 1948, marrying an Auschwitz survivor. Fascinating hey? Some people are pretty awesome.

So that was exciting. Well, fascinating really, the stuff she went through.

Music for all Tastes, the most pointless Concert in the whole world is tonight. LAME. In other news, I'm procrastinating, bored, and wasting a lot of time.

OOH! Freo play their final on Friday night :) YAY!
