What does being a witness mean to you?

To me, a witness is a person or a bystander who watches an event take place. This event typically could be a illegal act/crime. A witness sees an incident happing and does not participate in the act, but is still a part of it. Typically like a bystander.


How, if at all, were you transformed by your experience in LA?

I was transformed because I was introduced to more information about The Holocaust and The Japanese-Americans. After going to the museums, I realized even more how terrible these events were. When we went through the two museums,  I learned about the experience they had while living through World War II. My mind opened up and still makes me think about how anything like this could ever happen.
