241 Words1 Page

Elisabeth Wiese, 52, worked as a mid-wife when she was younger, but that ended when it was found out that she was preforming abortions; which was illegal. She later went to prison after being convicted for various crimes. Once she was released from prison, Elisabeth looked after children who’s mothers couldn’t take care of them anymore; as well as children born out of wedlock. The mothers would have to pay a fee, which would be given to the parents who adopted their child. From time to time, Elisabeth would keep the money and the child wouldn’t be adopted. She would just have to get rid of the child in another way. She would tell the mothers their children had been adopted by wealthy families, but the truth was much worse. Elisabeth would

  • Examples Of The Horrific Events That Changed Ellie Wiesel

    366 Words  | 2 Pages

    I think all of the horrific events that appeared at the concentration camps, especially in Auschwitz, changed Ellie Wiesel, the author of the memoir Night, for the better. I think this because throughout the story Ellie, the main character, is going threw all of these dreadful life or death experiences and everyday thousands of people died. In the book Night, it states that before Ellie went to the concentration camps, he was very religious and was studying kabbalah (Ancient Jewish Bible). Then after months of being in the concentration camps, especially Auschwitz, his mind changed on his religion.

  • How Did Margaret Sanger A Powerful Figure In The Early 20th Century

    Her compassion pushed her to take a stand, and fight for birth control for these women so that they could lead better and more fulfilling lives. Margaret believed that forcing women to undergo life-threatening births, and having children that they could not care for was essentially murder to both mother and children. Ironically Margaret’s mother was a devoted catholic, which in most cases because of Catholic faith often rejects birth control and views it as sinful, and Margaret fought for it to be allowed in the United States. Margaret noticed while working as a nurse that if women became pregnant and realized that they could not afford the child, they would seek abortions in unsanitary clinics and often became injured or worse in the process.

  • Ethical Decision Making In The Case Of Elie Wiesel

    222 Words  | 1 Pages

    I believe that Elie Wiesel was correct in saying that one person or story can cause to have a whole new outlook on our choices and the world around us. In my case, Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton’s (1757-1854), co-founder and deputy director of the first private orphanage in New York City, life story has not only influenced my thinking about ethical-decision making but inspired me to make better decisions. Although being born into money, Eliza decided to marry for love causing her to marry poor, orphaned, immigrant Alexander Hamilton. After the tragic deaths of her eldest son and husband, Eliza founded the first private orphanage in New York City. She continued to work there and help the children who reminded her of her late husband who was also

  • How Does Elie Wiesel Hide Her Personal Identity

    153 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the excerpt from Night by Elie Wiesel, the main character meets a “french girl” that is also hiding from the Nazis to avoid being sent to the concentration camps. Through her natural spoken language, she connects with the communal identity as they both speak german. However, she also reveals her private identity by exposing her as a german who is faking to be Aryan. Since the character has to hide her personal identity, speaking german in public could be dangerous and possibly fatal as it would cause others to be suspicious of his jewish personal identity. Finding this out could lead to her being sent to concentration camps and possibly being murdered.

    1607 Words  | 7 Pages

    Discrimination can arise when arriving in a new country/area, or by simply having a gender that is not preferred in the dominant society. Consequently, it may result in one left feeling unappreciated or unequal. When discrimination occurs, one may choose to fight back or stand by and allow anything to be said and done. Night by Ellie Wiesel explores Eliezer's experience with discrimination first hand by presenting his remarkable self control, and patience while viewing harm being done to his father. Similarly, in Disappearing Moon Cafe by Sky Lee, Mui Lan patiently deals with the discrimination she faces at the hand of her own her own government.
