History was the one subject I hated the most, but if I ever get a chance to meet someone from the past I would like to meet Subhash chandra Bose and actually will like to follow him around so as to know what actually happened

I like Menachem Begin. He was a Holocaust survivor and he found the Nazis and then the British. He was a hero to me. I also admire Anne Frank from the Holocaust and the book on her and Hannah Senes who flew into Hungary to save Jews and got caught and executed.

I use to hate history, in high school! Now, I love reading about historical truths. My favorite historical figure is Abraham Lincoln, who gave his life fighting, to free the Afro-American slaves. What a wonderful example he became, for us to learn the act of love!

I would probably choose Hitler whose personality I find intriguing and the Buddha whom I would ask if a person like Hitler can ever find enlightenment..
