'Looks like Auschwitz' isn't my words. That's a witness quote that my assigned student advocate collected in case we decided to take my school to court. Once I found out someone described me like that, I really understood the degree to which most of my teachers had lacked basic compassion. 'We couldn't know, our hands were tied!' was bullshit.
I know people are always concerned about whether it would be awkward to tell someone what moments like this mean to them. I never realized how incredibly not awkward it would be hear this sort of stuff until I got older and had a kid. If my kid's friend asked me to braid their hair and then thanked me because of something like this? I would never stop crying. I would also never stop hugging them. Which now that I think about it would probably make it awkward...
