1094 Words5 Pages

The documentary of Kitty Hart-Moxon’s experiences, “Day in Auschwitz”, is all about what it was like in the Auschwitz camps she was in, how brutal times could be, and how she became a survivor. Auschwitz was designed as a factory of death and no one was intended to survive or let the world know about it’s inhumanity. In both Kitty’s story and the book “Night”, both were taken to Auschwitz at a young age and both were ripped from family. Kitty was only seventeen when she went to the camp and one of her first impressions when she got the was the ghost like figures with shaved heads, staggered, in tattered clothes with great big eyes, screaming in all languages being beaten.

A person may share their story for them self. I know when I something big has happened to me, I like to write. A person may write to express them self and use writing as a way to lift weight of their shoulders and relieve stress and feelings. Sometimes people share theirs stories solely because they think people need to know. People need to know what happened. People need to understand what others are capable of when in power and how people aren’t going to care if they don’t pertain to their life no matter who they are. For Ms. Hart-Moxon and Wiesel, I think they decided to share their stories to let people know an insider's view of what happened and to help history from being
