“Wipe out all Jews.” This informs the reader a little about events that took place before the capture and trail of Adolf Eichmann. This is also another form of author's craft; it uses Adolf Eichmans perspective. This is a useful text structure because it gives the reader another view of the story/topic. It is also useful because it will not bias the reader because they only know the story from 1 side, and this text feature prevents this from happening/
Text Structures
Neal Bascomb uses an array of text structures, for example, on page 000 he uses prior events to connect with the current events, he does this by Adolf Eichmann talking about what happened during World War 2 which was before the capture of Adolf Eichmann, but he talks about how Adolf Hitler told him to elimate all the Jews, and that he was just following orders like a normal soldier. Another example of the text structures he uses is on page 000 when the reader transitions from how life was during the holocaust to after World War 2 and the hunt for Adolf Eichmann.
Authors
The last passage in the book, on page 115, stood out to me the most. Elie Wiesel describes the first time he looks at himself in the mirror since he was in the ghetto, and he is stunned by what he sees. This passage highlights how severely the Holocaust affected Elie, as well as millions of other Jews. It had not only separated Elie from his family, who he would never see again, but it stripped him of his humanity. Before the war, and even in the ghetto, Elie had hope, his family, his faith, and his innocence.
This book also uncovers how a few Nazis like Arthur Rudolph were glorified in America. For Example, Although Rudolph contributed the moon landing rocket, he used camp slave labors back when he was a Nazi to build enough V-2 rockets for Hitler. I was very blindsided on what occurred to those who participated in the War Crimes and Holocaust survivors after World War II. The Nazis Next Door really cleared up the confusion and taught me about the Nazi’s contribution during the Cold
Elie Wiesel's memoir, Night, is a powerful testimony to the horrors of the Holocaust. Throughout the book, Wiesel employs various literary devices to convey his experiences and emotions. In this literary analysis essay, we will explore the literary devices used in Night and their impact on the reader. One of the most prominent literary devices used in Night is imagery.
A style device that Wiesel uses to develop his understated style is the use of sentence fragments. He uses these to convey shock from the trauma that he went through in the concentration camps at a young age. An example of this is when he writes, “Spring 1944.” This helps the reader understand that he only knows the blatant facts on the situation. Another example of Wiesel’s understated style through the use of sentence fragments is, “The eight days of Passover.”
Christopher Browning documents everyday experiences and tribulations of Germany men, who were involved in the tragic events of the Holocaust. Browning tries illustrate the reasoning of all the massacres caused by the Reserve Police Battalion 101, so that people could get a clear understanding of what really was going on with these men, physically and mentally. Looking past all the opposing claims of German men, Browning explains how these men were just regular “middle aged family men” who were taking basic orders from higher authorities (1). Throughout the book Ordinary Men, Christopher Browning explains his reasoning of calling these murders ordinary men, the reasoning behind all the massacres, and how these men later on became killers.
During this time period, the Jewish people were taken out of their homes, some were even killed, and put in Concentration Camps by German Nazis. These camps forced Jews to work in very dangerous and unsanitary areas. German soldiers were harsh and brutal to these people and showed no respect for them. The living conditions for the Jews were horrid and due to these conditions, this led to a large percentage of decrease in the population. A quote that was significant to this book is, “in the beginning there was faith - which is childish; trust - which is vain; and illusion - which is dangerous.”
The book Night by Elie Wiesel is an autobiographical account of Wiesel's experience in the concentration camps of the Nazi Holocaust. In the book, the author was a young jewish teenager who lived in Sighet, Transylvania when Hitler began his Final Solution. Wiesel then explained the rapid deterioration of the Jewish lifestyle through accounts of how his family was pushed out of their homes and into Jewish ghettos. He continued to decr being loaded onto a train sent to Auschwitz where half of his family members would die. Throughout the rest of the book, Wiesel struggled with many internal and external conflicts inside the camps, until he was liberated after nine months later.
I. Introduction The Holocaust is one of the most horrific and cruel genocides known to mankind. Adolf Eichmann is one of the many people who took a huge part in this genocide. He thought of ways to transport Jews to and from concentration camps, as well as ways to efficiently kill a great number of them. Eichmann's atrocious thought processes affects millions of lives.
Instead of just stating the horrific acts that the Germans did, Elie developed a book with a clever plot consisting of introspection, dialogue and dynamic characters to communicate his experience in a deeper level. Eliezer an observant Jewish youngster,
Elie Wiesel's memoir Night is a deeply moving and haunting account of his experiences as a Jewish teenager during the Holocaust. In his writing, Wiesel employs a range of rhetorical strategies to convey the emotional impact of the Holocaust on the reader. Two of the most powerful strategies he uses are tone and imagery. Through his tone of sadness, anger, and despair, Wiesel creates a connection between the reader and the horrors of the Holocaust. Meanwhile, his use of vivid and haunting imagery works to create a visceral and unforgettable image of life in the concentration camps.
For example on page 37, Elie Wiesel stated that he needed to become a different person. This shows that Elie is in a situation where he needs to put on a mask and follow what the SS officers say to him. With the usage of specific words, we can depict what Elie Wiesel's true intent was for the situation he was placed in and understand the hardships he had to overcome while in the concentration camp. Another example of Elie Wiesel's specific word usage is on page 39 where after witnessing his father be slapped for asking where the toilet was. Elie Wiesel says that he felt petrified which unlocked the true severity of the problem at hand.
He skillfully uses imagery to develop the central idea that dehumanization occurred. Dehumanization shown through imagery occurs when The nazis had stripped the jews of their clothes, belongings and hair, and anything
This book begins with Wiesel’s communications with his doctor as he learns his heart is failing, not his stomach. Wiesel initially reacts to this news with disbelief and denial. He then reflects on his life with his wife and the things he experienced. Most notably, Wiesel faces his ongoing questioning of God, and where it has lead. I think I should learn more about the Holocaust and the individual impact it had on a person who has gone through it.

People Who Helped in Hidden Ways Topic: Germans that helped Jews during World War II Working thesis statement: Helping Jews was very dangerous in Nazi Germany during World War Two because of Hitler’s bigoted nationalism, yet numerous Germans civilians and soldiers assisted a Jew in some way during the time of war. In The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, Liesel’s fictitious family and friends help Jews in the same ways that real life Germans helped Jews to hide and escape during World War II. Rolling Introduction Introduction Paragraph #1 Introduction Paragraph #2 Religious intolerance and persecution of Jewish people was common in Nazi Germany; however, there were some Germans that helped Jews despite the dangers. Some brave German soldiers and
