The psychological effects included some sort of denial in the form of psychic numbing, derealization, or depersonalization. The senses of the victims became heightened after living on the alert for any danger in the conditions of the camp. One of the ways that the survivors of the Holocaust dealt with the horrors they faced in the Holocaust was by believing that they would eventually be reunited with their families, unfortunately, once the survivors left, most of them realised that their families and friends did not survive. Marriages and recreating families was very common after the victim's liberation, it was seen as a victory against the Nazi’s and the children were usually all named after family and friend that did not survive. In the U.S, the survivors were met by negative reactions because the bystanders felt guilty that they couldn't do any thin, and in turn, felt that the victims were blaming them.

I, like many others, did know about the events of the Holocaust for the longest time and when I did, I gained a feeling of disgust towards everything that occurred at that time.

She teaches them by her actions not by words without ever leaving her own bed. TRANSITIONAL SENTENCE Even though Mrs. Dubose knows how much pain coming off morphine will include, she continues to fight through the agony and suffering.

Zusak demonstrates the idea that a person's survival may depend on the influence of words. Liesel survives in a country manipulated by words, many characters in the book are saved in a way by books. At the end of the novel Liesel is in her basement reading her book, while outside there a bomb raids, words literally save her. “She was still clutching the book.

Instead of Proctor getting his name on the church doors he wanted to die to save his good name.

: This passage is significant to the novel because it reminds the reader that no matter how much pain and suffering Liesel feels, she lives in a safer “world” than characters like Max. But death migrates from Liesel’s pain and travels to Max’s. Max has lost his entire family and faces persecution, but his true pain lies within him. He left his family to die; he is risking another family’s life, and is constantly belittled for being Jewish. This is why this quote is important, it shows the reader not only the physical, but mental pain that the citizens of Germany

The talk the grandmother and The Misfit have between them is mainly about religion, and what was done in the past, the talk leads to the grandmother having sympathy for him. The grandmothers moment of grace causes a terrible reaction from The Misfit.

"I see the eight of us with our "Secret Annex" as if we were a little piece of blue heaven, surrounded by heavy black rain clouds. Now we are so surrounded by danger and darkness that we bump against each other, as we search desperately for a means of escape. . . [The clouds] stand before us as an impenetrable wall; it tries to crush us, but cannot do so yet. I can only cry out and implore: 'Oh, I feel only the black circle could recede and open way for us!'"
