Concentration Camps Ben and his family lived in a wonderful, well built home in 1943. The war had just began and there were many people who were getting taken in the concentration camps. Ben and his family did not think they were going to take them, they did not think they would actually do it to them. Well, they were wrong, the Natzis came and took Ben Camm and his family to the concentration camps. On the way there they did not know what to think. Ben and his family were crammed into the back of a carriage that was being driven by the Natzis, every bump was like nails stiking you every time you moved, but maybe it would not be so bad, or maybe it would be horrible. When they got there they began to see people they knew working in dirt and building things for the Natizs and getting hit for not doing what they were suppose to be doing. Ben and his …show more content…
Do you want to get caught?” Natalie hissed.
“It 's important though,” Ben added.
“Okay but is it worth leading them right to us?” Natalie asked.
“Well I really don’t know but it is important to me,” Ben cried.
“Okay, then what is it?” Natalie added.
“Well, Hmmm, Ummm, I cut my finger wide open. It’s getting everywhere,” Ben pleated.
“So you 're saying there is blood everywhere,” Natalie pointed out.
“Yes, that is what I am saying,” Ben emphasized.
“Okay. Wrap it in your handkerchief and get that long piece of grass over there and wrap it tight, you will be okay,” Natalie demanded and then whispered.
Ben was so very scared that something had already happened to his family in the time he was gone. When they got back into the camp they were frantically searching for his parents, while still having faith. Ben finally spotted his dad and brother and ran as fast as he could to give them the biggest hug he had ever given to anyone before and then they went and found the rest of their family. They made the food last but whenever they ran out Ben and Natalie were the first ones to volunteer to go back
400,000 Jews including Ben’s family were crammed into a little space known as the Warsaw ghetto. Over their time there Ben had learned tricks to sneak out of the ghetto to find food for his family. This amazing act of courage gave Ben enough bravery to fight against the Nazis
In December 1939, Poland was being torn apart by the savagery of the Holocaust. Oskar Schindler took his first faltering steps from the darkness of Nazism towards the light of heroism. “If you saw a dog going to be crushed under a car,” he said later of his wartime actions, “wouldn't you help him?” Poland had been a relative haven for Jewish people and it numbered over 50,000 people, but when Germany invaded, destruction began immediately and it was very harsh. Jews was forced into crowded ghettos, randomly beaten and humiliated, and continuously murdered for no reason.
So they tell just to stop disturbing them and go elsewhere, so we did. Ben starts to sit in a corner and cries, I asked him what is going on, so he told me he just really wished his parents were with him and that he really misses them and hopes that they are doing okay. Ben was as sad as the clouds when it rains, so I told him that we’ll get them back soon and not to worry too much, they are very smart and they’ll find a way to survive. Ben tells me that he will be back, he claimed that he was going to go to the camp and give them food and supplies to see if they were okay. I always thought that Ben was as sneaky as a
The Jewish of Sighet are forced to the concentration camps using trains every night. The conditions of the trip to the camps were horrible. Jewish were treated worse than the way they would treat animals. On the way to the concentration camp a woman screams “Fire! I see a fire!
It was just another day on the plantation. A meager breeze rolled through the willow trees, the sun was prominent on a blazing summer day glistening down on John Horbeck as he stood upon his perfectly-painted, white deck in which cloaked his stupendous house. He stood watching, scrutinizing every move of the diligent slaves he possessed. This was his plantation; everything had to be flawless. The bricks had to be made precisely and the pecans had to be picked meticulously.
The Holocaust was a very terrible time. Many Jews died at the hands of Hitler. One of these very lucky children who survived wrote a story about his life as a Holocaust survivor. His name is Eliezer Wiesel.
During World War ll, Germany, led by Adolf Hitler, created many extermination camps for Jews. These death camps had a major impact on European society, and the world. One of these death camps was the Belzec extermination camp. It was established in 1942. How the Belzec death camp was started, how it was run, and how it 's prisoners were exterminated all explain the brutal World War ll death camp of Belzec.
Belzec concentration camp The Belzec concentration camp was built mainly to kill the Jews. Belzec started as a labor camp in April 1940. It was built for the extermination of the Jews. It was the first Nazi camp with stationary gas chambers.
Holocaust Reflection: Hierarchy in Concentration Camps When I think of the Holocaust, I think of constant fear, horrible genocide of innocent people, and terrible living conditions. For twelve years, people were imprisoned for their faith, political views, or where their love lied. When learning about the terrible tragedy in middle school, I was under the impression that every person held prisoner in the concentration camps was treated the same, inhumane way. However, that assumption is completely false. While exploring the provided websites, I read things that I had already learned about the Holocaust in middle school.
Oskar Shindler’s Factory The Holocaust is a dark period of time in history that symbolized more than just death and warfare. Miracles of little characters have been recorded behind all those ghastly wars, and those terrible scenes. Oskar Scindler, a man who diligently used his factory, saved thousands of lives while not been discovered.
During the time The Jews were hiding in there blocks when they realized that the officers left two rations of soup unattended. Then someone crawled to them after opening the block door. As the man was trying to get the soup he died there, then planes were flying overhead and started bombing the camp. “But we no longer feared death in any event not this particular death. Every bomb that hit filled us with joy, gave us a renewed confidence (Wiesel 60).”
Prisoner of war camps were common during World War II. However, the book Unbroken displays the true horrors that were in the Japanese prisoner of war camps. This book captures the life of Louis Zamperini and tells the horrendous conditions that he and other prisoners faced during their time in the prisons. The Japanese internment camps did not fulfill the purpose of the camp, the treatment of the prisoners that they deserved; also the prisoners were given meaningless jobs to fulfill.
The Holocaust was a time of tragedy and painful despair that even now has a strong burden on our society. Memories from that disturbing event in our past still haunt people worldwide. For my exhibit, I chose to showcase images from the Holocaust that illustrate the perspective of children, based off a quote from Age of Innocence: “It’s far more unusual to have the whole story unfold from the child’s point of view” (Age of Innocence, pg. 35). It is hard to imagine the Holocaust from a child’s point of view due to the fact that people assume children are too innocent to be aware of the calamities happening around them. I selected photographs that reveal the Holocaust from several perspectives of children who were placed in various situations.
I do not believe that Oskar Schindler was entertaining the idea of sheltering Jews in his factory when he purchased it at first. In his mindset, Schindler only planned on being a wealthy German businessman. He was very self-centered in the beginning of the movie and was incisive when planning to build his own factory in Poland. During this time, he planned on only making money at first, but since the Jews needed to be protected from the persecution of the Nazis, he gained big profits when the Jews worked for him. Schindler also does not loose, but rather gains money as well since the Jews work for him for free.
POW is short for Prisoners of War. It has been involved for both sides of the war, which are the Allied Power and Central Power. It has said that POW Camps are similar to an internment camp, but was used for civilians. POW Camps were mostly used for soldiers, sailors, marines, coast guards, and airmen, which were more recent than others, of an enemy power that were captured by their enemy after having a armed conflict with each other. Sometimes the camps aren’t that bad, but yet there were still some camps that weren’t that good.
