Recently, I attended Student Leadership Day at the Holocaust Museum. At the conference, we discussed identity and our universe of obligation, the people who we care about. We also toured the museum and discussed how the exhibits we saw connected to leadership and identity. During lunch, we met with witnesses to the Holocaust. The witness at my table was a Jewish girl during the Holocaust, and was safe in France at the time. Later, her parents, who were at a concentration camp, were reunited and found her. We also had the opportunity to hear from Nadja Halibegovich, who escaped Bosnian genocide as a young girl in the 1990s. Her story was very inspiring and showed how everyone can make a difference. My experience at Student Leadership Day was very enlightening and inspiring, and it showed how far the world has come, and how far it can go, and how we, as students, can help.
