How Did Stan Wells Get Correct Choices During The Holocaust

170 Words1 Page

The Holocaust was one of the most terrible times in history. During the Holocaust, 6 million Jews were killed, from very young to very old. Stan Wells was a British prisoner of war, captured by Nazi Germany. Along with his buddies, he made correct choices when he chose to hide a 16-year-old girl rather than turn her in to die. I believe that Stan Wells made correct choices during the Holocaust for many reasons. First of all, he risked his life to save that girl, since if they were caught, everyone would have died. Secondly, he knew how evil the Nazis were and what they would do to the girl, and that’s what his choices were based on. Also, his choices were so good that they were recognized in TWO COUNTRIES!! That’s pretty cool, I think. All
