Response to the Equiano accounts

In this passage, the man is describing his experience on the ship. It is hard to imagine what he is describing because I have never gone through any thing that traumatic in my life. Its hard to get a grasp on it because some of these things described in the Equiano accounts were so inhumane, you can't imagine anyone surviving a trip as long that. When i looked at he images,I thought of the holocaust, because the conditions and the way the people were treated were so similar to what happened to the Jews, except for the fact that these two events were in two completely different time periods. It makes you wonder if time could possibly repeat itself in the future and something similar could happen, or if we should take these events and learn from them so if something like this does happen to occur we could do something about it instead of sit around and let it happen.
