Shmuel Thesis

Back then there were walls that divided countries, families, and friends. Because of walls, many authors write about the lifestyle of living there. Author John Boyne and Jennifer A. Nielsen both wrote books surrounding different walls. In Boyne’s The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, it takes place when the Jews had no right to do anything because of their religion. It centers around a 9-year-old boy who meets a new friend; the friend lives on the other side of the wall. The side where the jews work all day. In Nielsen’s book The Night Divided, it centers around a 12-year-old girl. She lives on the East side of the Berlin Wall. Her father and brother are on the West side of the Berlin Wall. While both of the writer 's center their stories around

The Holocaust took place during the years 1933 to 1945. It was an attempt to remove all of the Jews, and other smaller groups such as homosexuals and Jehovah's Witnesses, which lived in the country of Germany. The events that took place during the holocaust were lead by a German man named Adolf Hitler. Schindler's List is a film about the Holocaust from a man named Oskar Schindler's perspective as a leader of a concentration camp. The film displays the five stages of the Holocaust. These five stages include when life became uncomfortable for the Jews, violent life for the Jews, isolation of the Jews, removal of the Jews, and “the final solution” in trying to do away with still living German Jews.

During the time Hitler was beginning to rise to power, a huge population of Germany was supporting the newly coming leader Adolf Hitler. Little did they know the horrible devastating mass murder of the Jewish people Hitler called “The Holocaust”. The Holocaust started on January 1933 and ended on May 8, 1945. The Holocaust was made purposely to eliminate the Jews and any other person and religion that got in Hitler’s and the Nazis way. Many ways were used to kill and eliminate the Jews, one of the most brutal ways was when Nazis would shove prisoners of the concentration camps or the death camps and slowly heat them to death. Concentration camps were camps where Jews would be worked and barley fed. Sometimes they would be even starved to death, many prisoners would also often be hung or shot in front of prisoners so the prisoners wouldn’t try to escape from the concentration camp. While on the other hand if anyone got sent to death camp it meant they were there for one reason and one reason only, to die. Inside the death camps were usually huge ovens Jews would be cooked alive in, there would also be giant chambers that Nazis filled with people and spread

Dehumanization is the act of making someone feel like less than a person. Effectively turning them into an animal. Riding them of what separates their own life from that of a animal. This is exactly what took place in the time of the holocaust. Nazis dehumanize the jews in multiple ways and for multiple reasons in the times of the holocaust. The holocaust took place during WWII. At this time the chancellor of Germany know as Adolf Hitler had ordered a crusade against the jewish race. In this time period over 6 million jewish people including men women and children. Families were stripped from their homes with nearly all of their possessions removed from them.After first entering the gates they weren't even allowed the cloths off their backs.Elie Wiesel introduces the theme of Dehumanization in the holocaust by reckoning event of his past life throughout the novel. Dehumanization is just one of the many acts committed by Germany that makes the holocaust one of if not the biggest crime against humanity of all time.

The Holocaust was a devastating event that had outreaching effects on many groups of people and many countries. Although most of this devastation happened to the Jewish Race. There are many books, movies, memoirs, and academic journals regarding the Holocaust, portraying how it affected different people and their stories. One memoir that will be discussed is Night written by Elie Wiesel about his life during the Holocaust. Also a movie by the name of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas will be discussed. Both of these are very powerful tools created by people to really portray the horrible events that occurred and really happened to people in the Holocaust. There are many similarities and difference between the two movies but neither is more or less powerful in getting the point of complete disgust across to the viewer.

The Holocaust was a horrific tragedy which started in January of 1933 and ended in May of 1945, the Holocaust was the mass murder of millions of people. The word was derived from the Greek word that meant Sacrifice to the Gods (Steele 7), also called the Shoan which is the Hebrew word for catastrophe (Steele 7). So many countries took place in this 12-year genocide, including, “Germany, Italy, Japan, Romania, Hungary, and Bulgaria, which were also known as the Axis Powers” (Steele 34). But, although there were all those countries they were all part of one larger group called the Nazis, were the ones who were killing all the different denominations of people. (Bachrach 58). All of this led to the gigantic catastrophe called the Holocaust. The

There are ones to rely on, who will have people’s backs through thick and thin, and display humanity in every step. The dictionary states, “Humanity is the quality or condition of being human or humane” (“Humanity”). This means people are humans because of the way they react to certain situations. For instance, humans have feelings and characteristics such as compassion, sympathy, consideration, and kindness. People’s feelings toward others mark them apart from all other animals. In many stories throughout history, people or characters exhibit humanistic qualities. Humanity is possible in the toughest situations, as shown in the novel The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, September 11, 2001, and our own communities.

The Holocaust was the mass genocide of mainly Jewish people and the “undesirables”. The jewish people were dehumanized by the Nazis. All of the people that were persecuted in the mass genocide were either placed into death camps, work camps, or the ghetto when waiting to get to a death camp or work camp.

Nazi death marches were very deadly and thousands of innocent people died during them. The Nazis had three main priorities when evacuating the prisoners, how far they would walk, how long the prisoners would walk, the environment they would walk in, how many people died and what they did with the dead bodies.

It is true for Bruno, because he 's pretending to be a jew to go with Shmuel. But no body ever told him anything about it, so he really doeesnt know any better. His father wears tht uniform and thinks he 's "all that", and he know 's what he 's doing, and that "it 's for the greater good" (even though it is possibly one of the worst things to happen in history, so i guess its true for him too). All throughout the book people dress up and try to be that person, pretending to be someone else. But they really are all making the wrong choices, the wrong desicisons, but they have no-idea what they are doing is going to scare our world

Take a minute, because that's how long it will take to learn about the horror and brutality of the Holocaust. Throughout the Holocaust, the German SS officers and the Einsatzgruppen were murdering Jews. At least 6 million Jews were dead due to the pogroms and the massacres. From "Night" by Elie Wiesel had a past in the Holocaust. He once had known a boy, Pipel. He was only the age of 12, about 90 pounds due to the starvation. He was hung later on, dying slowly with a rope that was too big for him around his neck, for two hours. The Holocaust had many causes and effects, Germany loses World War 1, and to regain their power back Hitler, a strong speaker and manipulator is chosen as a chancellor, he begins to convince the Germans to discriminate the Jews, and soon he does which begins the Holocaust.

Shmuel’s wants to work with animals in a zoo; we can infer that he and the other prisoners are currently being treated like animals. Shmuel knows who Bruno’s father is, and sees him as a frightening and hateful figure but doesn’t want to start a fight with Bruno, so doesn’t mention what his Father nor Lieutenant Kotler pledge. Shmuel still does little to correct Bruno’s perceptions of reality. Bruno is truly an innocent little boy.

Why are people sad and weak when they go through a rough time? For most people, it can be hard to get through harsh situations or conflict especially when they are at war or being sent to a different country. While many people had suffered through many events, some managed to get and survive through the situation that they were put in. Bravery is one of the best ways to respond to conflict. This shows that a person has enough courage to face the fears that are right in their way. There are three stories which are, The boy in The Striped Pajamas, Dear Miss Breed, and I am Malala. They talk about people that were in a struggle when there was conflict around.

Bruno, a young boy from a rich family living in Krakow, Germany has the perfect life. He has three best friends, and loves his school. As he hears the news that he is going to move, Bruno is shocked. They news breaks out and Bruno’s family moves to Auschwitz. As Bruno is known to be very adventurous, he explores the city and finds a boy as he interprets, “In striped pajamas.” When reading the book, I analyze that Bruno acts stubborn when told that his family is going to move, as he has friends in Krakow. Chapter Two begins with a comparison of Bruno's old home in Berlin to his new living situation. His old home in Berlin was very large and spacious, with beautiful furniture and decorations, as well as many places for him to hide in and explore.

In some cases it is possible to translate a movie title word for word into a target language. Although it is a very common technique of translation it does not belong to the category of the simplest ones. While calquing the title we have to be aware of the fact that not in every case a calqued title would remain the same as the original one. In such case the adaption of the title into the target language is necessary, e.g. supposing that the English expression daily bread is a movie title and need to be translated into Eskimo. When translated directly, would not be understandable for Eskimos. In such a case we need to adapt the movie title into the target culture. Then, daily bread will be translated into Eskimo
