"Speaking the Unspeakable"

Anthony Acevedo, a WWII veteran, was held in a Nazi slave concentration camp. Upon his release from the camp he was forced to sign a paper that sworn him to secrecy. For many years he kept his word, and did not tell anyone about what had happened to him and the other soldiers at the camp. recently however, he has decided that people need to know what had been going on, and he has been going to local high schools to tell students of his experience. Acevedo kept a diary of everything that went on during his time in the camp. He finds it important to speak the unspeakable because people need to know what really happened to him.

Nice presentation of the facts that went on in the paper. Would like to hear a little more about your perspective of went on. All in all it's good presentation of the story.

Your response was very clear and you got down to the main points. You pretty much said everything that needed to be said and nothing was left out. Good job :)
