Summary Of T4 By Ann Clare Lezotte

I read, T4 by Ann Clare Lezotte, which is about her life as a Jewish, deaf girl who lived in Germany. This was the time period when Adolf Hitler ruled their country, which means they didn’t like Jewish people. In the book, she had said, “when my mother was pregnant with me, she was exposed to Rubella, or German Measles, a common cause of hearing loss in infancy” (Lezotte, 3). I’ve never had hearing loss or anything like that but I did have failure to thrive and a sensory disorder when I was younger, which impacted my life a lot. Failure to thrive is basically when a child is not able to take in, or keep foods in their body. This means that I had to have a tube in my stomach so I could keep the foods in me so I could grow. Also with the sensory

My mom thought it was just me growing but I thought otherwise, so my mom took me to the hospital and I got a lot of tests done on me, which was painful. Just like what Paula said in the story. She said, “Marthe melted a candle in a pot and poured hot wax into my ears. It hurt a lot(Lezotte,14),” Paula also said, “She was yelling and stomping her feet like she was dancing(Lezotte,15)” that would have seemed like they were doing tests on her like they were doing tests on me. On the other hand, Paula had to deal with “The gestapo,” which are secret police assigned to kill people. “They attacked Jews, people of color, homosexuals, and gypsies, among others(Lezotte,21),” See now they were killing certain people. Our terrorists, ISIS, target big groups of people, they also use internet to find targets to kill. Nothing has happened in Sioux Falls, SD, but it’s very possible it could, so it’s just nice to be aware of your surroundings and what’s going on in the

It was the hardest thing I ever had to do, but I tried not to look back(Lezotte,35),” I go through this all the time. My mom and dad split up when I was about 7, I lived with my mom and my sister, and my dad lived in Sioux Falls for a couple of weeks then moved. My dad now lives in Rapid City, SD, which is about five hours away from Sioux Falls. I usually go up to Rapid City for about a weekend then I come back home because I have school. I think it is the hardest, and the worst feeling to have, is to leave your father and then not seeing him for about 7 months. It just hurts when I say goodbye because I don’t get to see him, and of course it’s hard because he’s my dad. I miss him very much and I love seeing him, i’d take any chance to see my dad. I do still loving being with my mom but it’s hard because I love both my parents and I love being around both of them but it’s harder because my dad lives somewhere else. Paula ended up living with someone else for some time while they had their war, so she didn’t get to see her dad either. I feel that a kid should never have to go through this, but unfortunately, it
