Daniel’s story is an interesting one. It was written by Carol Matas published in March of 1993. Daniel's story is about a boy in Poland during World War ll when Nazi Germany was declaring war on everyone. He was a Jewish boy so the Nazis were always looking for him and other Jews. I thought the book was pretty good. I really thought it was interesting and entertaining with how it had talked about the things that they were forced to do.

Despite the danger, Daniel remains determined to survive, stating, “I am not going to die. I am going to live.” His unwavering commitment to persevering through the challenges ahead.

Another instance of Daniel’s strength is when he is separated from his family and taken to a concentration camp. Despite the horrific conditions and constant danger, Daniel refuses to give up hope, declaring, “I will survive this place. I have to.” This determination to survive in the face of unimaginable hardship is a testament to Daniel’s incredible inner strength.

Daniel’s relationship with fellow prisoner Rosa exemplifies his inner strength. When Rosa becomes ill, Daniel takes care of her stating, “I couldn’t leave her … I couldn’t let her die here alone.” This display of compassion and empathy is a testament to Daniel’s character, as he chooses to help others even in dire …show more content…

Despite the many challenges he faces, Daniel never gives up hope and remains committed to surviving, no matter what.

Daniel’s story and the Anne Frank play relate by being during the same time period and are forced to go into hiding. Anne is hiding in a hidden annex while Daniel is forced to work for the Nazis in a factory type setting. Anne is constantly being hunted by the Nazis to slip up and someone to reveal their location although the Nazisdon’t know about them still being in the city. Daniel was forced to work with thousands of others, when someone would get hurt they would get shipped off to a kill site where they would be killed because they were classified as a waste of space and no longer useful to the
