If I were thrown into a situation like the Holocaust, I would most certainly be able to rely on my family; not only would I willingly, I would be forced to as well. In a like situation, without a family, it would be very hard to stay motivated and keep pressing on, while with a family, there would be cause to stay alive. This past week I went to South Carolina to visit my grandparents, uncles, aunts, and cousins. This side of my family is a very southern, country group of people, and like many southerners, they are very religious. My grandfather is the head of a "Rescue Ministry" called the Help Out Guys, and on Thanksgiving Day, we delivered turkeys to families who were not going to have Thanksgiving. When we arrived at all of these houses, there were people sleeping on the floor, living in a pile of trash, and other awful and shocking things just so they could stay and live with the rest of their family. Through this, it is clear to me that I would rely on my family an extraordinary amount if I was thrown into an awful situation like the Holocaust.
