The Holocaust.  Sounds gory though.  I would just bring loads of food to help the desperately starving and warn them about the things the n***s are going to do to them...(like the gas chambers.)  I'd be their hero.

I also think the same as SunShine above...F*** you Hitler!

Answer 18

I have often dreamed that I was on board the Titanic.  I wake when my body hits the freezing water.  This has happened many times to me, and it comes with an awful terror which reverberates within me for days.  I first had this dream as a five year old.

I would like to revisit that scene.

I would like to see the events of the night of April 14, 1912 - if possible without the personal terror...

(Side note: Ironically, I am the only person I know who actually ran, by mistake, into the last six survivors when I attended a showing of "Night to Remember" at a tiny theater in Brookline Massachusetts - I ended up sitting in the only remaining seat in the theater, at the end of the aisile where all the survivors were sitting.  Colossal mishap?  Maybe not!...)

Answer 19

I would like to visit two events: when Jesus is supposed to come out after being dead (I would just wait outside the tomb to see if it's true or not, if it's not then I would write the gospel according to Amarilis even though I'm sure it would not make the cut for the Bible!) and when the first evolved humans lived.

Answer 20

The cruixfiction of Jesus Christ

Answer 21

I would want to be there for the birth of Jesus. I would also want to be there on April 1, 1984 at Marvin Gaye's house, just before his father shot him to death. Only because I would want to prevent Marvin Gaye, Sr. from killing his son.

Answer 22

for the people who said that they want to see the ''crucifiction and resurrection of jesus'' he asked ''If you could travel back in time'' as in it had to of acually happened.
