The book I was reading was Surviving Hitler, by Andrea Warren. I rate this book 10. Surviving Hitler talks about a young boy named Jack surviving a death camp. Jack was Jewish, his family was not religious but Jack knew little about his religion. They lived in a city and dressed no differently than their mostly Catholic neighbors. In two weeks Hitler took over Poland, Jack’s father, knew that will be sent to a camp so Jack, his mother, brother and sister, went to live with his grandfather which took them twelve-hour. For the next three years, Jack supported them by the pennies he earned. But at age 15, Jack was separated from his family and sent to the first of a series of concentration camps. Jack was determined to survive. He learned how to eat the disgusting …show more content…
My favorite will be when Jack found Moniek because Jack and Moniek were so close but their was evacuation so they had to separate them in order they could be enough space for other men's . So Jack spent all his day looking for Moniek, worst part was that he was weak and worried about fainting. At night, he was worried of getting freezing and he was covered with lice and had no way to clean or even wash his uniform. He couldn't communicate with other prisoners, he had no friend and that moment Jack felt alone and couldn't do nothing from himself or others and he was sure Moniek was dead, he said that he never in his life felt so alone. ( page 104 ) That night, for the first time in Jack experience, the prisoners were locked in their barracks. They could hear Allied planes flying overhead and the bombs blowing up ground targets. Jack knew the camp could be a target and they might be blown to bits but he didn't care anymore, the only thing he care was the "Allies were bombing Germany, and that Hitler would lose the war." The next morning, their was no guards, Jack and several other stepped outside and looked
Also, the main character is a teenager as he enters the camps like Eliezel. Like Eliezel, he tries to be as kind as he can but struggles with the horrors of the camps. Like the Gruener family survive in cramped spaces and many deportations. Both books find that luck finally runs out.
Reiner was not living at the time that World War I began and ended. Reiner’s mother witnessed those hard times and saw how battle affected Germany as a whole. Germany had to surrender in order for the killings to cease, so that destroyed Germany’s pride, as well as a loss of a bunch of merchandise and land to the Allies. Growing up during the Holocaust would honestly scar me for life, especially if I were a Jew. Living in the American South during Jim Crow segregation would have opened my eyes at an earlier age when it comes to racism, because the subject would be right in front of me.
Jack Mandelbaum has had one of the worst childhood pasts then most people. September 1, 1939 was when the town in Poland was invaded by the Nazi’s. He was sent to concentration camps for that reason, even though he didn’t do anything wrong, and he isn’t even a Jew. A concentration camp is a camp for Jews, drug addicts, African American people, robbers, and pretty much any one that Hitler thought didn’t fit society. No, it was not one of those camps where you could have a campfire, have fun, and play sports.
Finally, survival during the Holocaust did not depend on the actions or attitudes of the prisoners because the prisoners would have been liberated by the actions of the solders sent by the Russian command to liberate Auschwitz. Because the war was ending soon, the SS men and the blokowe did not pay attention to the prisoners. This calmed down the situation of the camps because the SS men were occupied by destroying evidence of the camps operations. On the 9th of May the Germans surrendered and the prisoners were freed from Auschwitz by the Russian solders.
The book I read was Refugee. Refugee was about three family's hometown who was transformed into a war zone. All the conditions cause them to flee their home, to try and find a safer place for them to live. Joseph was a character that stuck out to me in the book. Joseph was a Jew whose house was invaded by Nazi soldiers.
These two incidents, through the power of O’Brien’s writing, create a story where what’s considered the extremes of terrible can be almost justified. His narration of them, how they differ and seem similar create “A Perfect War Story.” In a perfect world there is no war, no pain, no death or gore. No moments of loss or dispair.
During a time of war, a british plane carrying a group of schoolboys is shot down over the Pacific, killing all adults and leaving the group of boys stranded on an island. One of the two leaders of the group, Jack, is the perfect character to portray humanity changing from civilized to savage. Jack is power-hungry, violent, and savage. In the beginning of the book, Jack is innocent and carelessly follows the leader, Ralph.
Survival in Auschwitz by the author Primo Levi leads me to believe whether his survival is define to his indefinite will and determination to survive or a very big streak of luck. From the beginning Levi emphasizes the fact that he is aware of the luck that plays in his life. He also starts the novel saying “It was my good fortune to be deported to Auschwitz”, it was because of his fortune and Levi had a chemistry background, qualifying him to spend time of the day during the most brutal months of the winter in Auschwitz in the chemistry laboratory. To survive this concentration camp his required a purging of he’s self-respect and human dignity. Exposure to constant dehumanization inevitably leads to be dehumanized, forcing to a mental, physical, and social adaptation in order to retain metal sanity and life.
The Rabbi is speaking at the funeral of a deceased Jewish woman. She was an immigrant who made the journey from somewhere in Eastern Europe to America via boat. In this passage, the Rabbi means that the journey of her migration was not simply limited to leaving Europe and landing in America, it also encompasses the actual boat ride. Along the way she had to carry all of her traditions and customs to America. Previously, the Rabbi also said that “America the melting pot where nothing melted”.
The true story of a boy who survived in the holocaust is told in the book Prisoner b-3087 by Alan Gratz. the main characters name is Yanek. Yanek was only 7 years young when Hitler came to power. He and his family mixed with other families worked and lived in camps and ghettos for many years. Almost all of the time they were experiencing the worst ways to live and when they weren't doing that they were sleeping in the cold still miserable and sometimes not even sleeping at all.
Reflecting on the young boy who had just been hanged, Eliezer begins to appreciate the little details of life in the Buna concentration camp through self-deception. This deception is evident when he describes the soup as tasting delicious
”14 Jack's history with his abusive father and his own problems causes him to become a danger. Hutz also states that the transformation of Jack shows how a “child victim” transforms “into the adult abuser. ”15This makes him a source of horror as it is a realistic, seemingly uncontrollable

In the early 1940s, Adolf Hitler told Germany the single story of his opinions of the Jewish race. His single story led Germany to blame Jews, persecute Jews, and kill Jews. You would think the nation would stand against wrongdoings, but most were brainwashed by Hitler’s perspective, and the rest, cowards. Germany was manipulated to think a certain way, without caring to hear what the Jews had to say, and ultimately reacted in a harmful way to the Jews. You may ask, why is this important?
Imagine the fear of this being you, even if you were a non-Jewish, upstanding young citizen of Nazi Germany. Many children probably felt this pang of danger. The author Markus Zusak captured a story of one of these kids. Not one who was sent away, but lived in the shadow of possibility of being slaughtered, as many did at that time. In his book The Book Thief, he describes Liesel Meminger, the main character, and her troubles, from the horrible violence of the Nazis to the stinging pain of hunger to the delicious
