Summary Of Stefania Podgorska's Courage

813 Words4 Pages

Saving someone other than yourself in a terrible situation is not something everyone thinks about doing, but in this case Stefania Podgorska not only saved herself but 13 others, and they all lived. Podgorska didn’t plan to save all those people it was more a spur of the moment thing, and not only did she help them by getting them food she saved every last one of them; and they all lived to see more days. In life, good deeds go unnoticed, the courage and unselfishness of her mind at that time should not be something someone just forgets about it’s a wonderful thing she did and everyone should know about her. By examining Podgorska and her moral courage it is clear that she deserves all the attention given, and or all the respect others show. Stefania came from a well known Catholic family that served the community, and so, when it came to do what she did i’m sure it wasn’t in her mind out of the ordinary/or heroism. She spent most of her younger days just helping out in the community, and being an average kid. “Stefania had to move to a nearby two-bedroom cottage to accommodate them all there were eventually 13 Jews concealed with Podgorska.” (ListVerse #8) With the help of a family friend that had jumped out of a train car they helped keep all 13 Jews healthy, Joe (the family friend) built a false wall in the room, and that is were Podgorska took care of everyone. Good deeds in life happen for a reason, and I believe this event happened because her God knew she would

  • One Survivor Remembers Gerda Weissman Analysis

    305 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the documentary, One Survivor Remembers, Gerda Weissmann recalls her miraculous survival of the Nazi concentration camps. Throughout her survival, Gerda Weissman shows personality traits of courage, perseverance, and compassion. When Gerda Weissmann was fifteen years old Germany seized control over Poland and all Jewish Poles were confined to small living quarters of their houses. Gerda Weissmann’s ability to keep calm and go on living in that situation showed true bravery because a girl her age would surely panic and develop a negative personality. Gerda Weissmann is possibly most courageous when she separated from her family and has to go to Dulag transit camp, while the rest of her family is sent to Auschwitz.

    Waitstill and Martha Sharp were two highly rare individuals. I personally felt very touched and thankful for Martha and Waitstill Sharp because my grandfather was saved by a man with the same righteousness and bravery as the Sharps. Not only were the Sharps not Jewish, but they were also Americans. These two beings had no relation to the people they helped, yet still risked their lives to do so. The church that they belonged to asked for volunteers to go to Prague to deliver aid to the refugees.

    In “The Dying Girl That No One Helped,” there were a total of 38 people who confessed to being a witness of the accident. That is only the number of people who confessed, although many more may have been present. This shows that sometimes people rely on others to save the day, but never see what they can do themselves. A prime example of this is from an article I read online. A girl only 2 years of age was unfortunately struck and injured by two vans.
