                                               New York city


The photo shows the beautiful city of New York whit his lights and the Statue of Liberty.
It was taken in New York during the sunset. In the foreground there is the Statue of Liberty while in the background there are a lot of skyscrapers lit by colored lights. Among the skyscrapers there is also the Empire state building.
In this photo the sun is setting and the lights are turning.
I think that the atmosphere of the photo is peaceful and relaxing.
I like this photo because in the future I would like go there and take the same photo.

                                      Black history month


It is a celebration observed in the United States of America, Canada and the UK to celebrate the importance of people and events in the history of the African Diaspora. The precursor to Black History Month was created in 1926 in the United States, when historian Carter G. Woodson and the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History announced the second week of February to be "Negro History Week."
some famous people of the black history month are: 
Rosa Parksfamous in 1955 for refusing to give up her seat on a bus to a white; and Martin Luther king, that  was a Baptist minister and social activist, who led the Civil Rights Movement in the United States from the mid-1950s until his death by assassination in 1968.

Holocaust


A quotation

" Do not think of all the misery , but the beauty that still remains."
(Anna Frank)


I chose this sentence because Anna , despite the horrors of war , always has a positive 
view of things and a great hope for living.

I chose this photo because the concentration camp ,
 now empty , left only memories and prayers.
