Part of the article is written in a objective point of view. In the text one of the sentences is ¨But the enormous black-and-white photo facing the elevator shows the charred corpses of more than 50 Jews killed in the Ohrdruf concentration camp.” This part from the text shows objectivity because it is telling you

about something that they did to people at the concentration camps. Another objective part from the text is ¨ "In 1933, there were more than nine million Jews living in continental Europe. Within a dozen years, two-thirds of them would be dead." This is because it is stating that that more than 9 million Jews living in Europe because of the time of the Holocaust. The last quote from the text that is objective is The first phase of the Final Solution involved herding Jews into "ghettos," where they were isolated from the non-Jewish population. This evidence shows objectivity because the text shows you what they did to the Jewish people to get them into the ghettos. Part of the article it is objective and the facts in the article are true and they are very impacting.

One of the quotes from the article is ¨But the most powerful effect is created by viewing the museum's exhibits. It is "a thought-provoking and personally upsetting experience," says Jeshajahu Weinberg, the museum's director, "and so it should be.¨ This shows subjectivity because the author is talking about how it is a personally upsetting experience and that the museums exhibits are the most powerful. Another subjective part from the article is ¨The doors of the elevator close quickly behind you. Inside, the walls are paneled with plain gray steel. You get the feeling that you're trapped, that something bad is about to happen.¨ This evidence shows subjectivity because the author is saying that when the elevator doors close you get the feeling that you are trapped inside. The last part of text that is subjectivity is when it says ¨They cautiously enter the car, touching the scratches on the bare wooden walls, imagining the terror of being locked inside.¨ This shows subjectivity because the author is talking about how the high schoolers at the museum are imagining and thinking about what it was like at the time of the holocaust. Part of the article shows subjectivity and how the author states his opinion makes the text even more impacting then it already
