Daniel’s story is an interesting one. It was written by Carol Matas published in March of 1993. Daniel's story is about a boy in Poland during World War ll when Nazi Germany was declaring war on everyone. He was a Jewish boy so the Nazis were always looking for him and other Jews. I thought the book was pretty good.
What does a girl ripped from her home and placed into seclusion and a boy seperated from most of his family and faced with death every day have in common? The answer lies not with their experiences, but within the emotional effects of the aftermath of their traumatic experiences. Jeanne Houston writes about her life in a Japanese-American in her autobiography Farewell to Manzanar, and Elie Wiesel shares his story of the Jewish concentration camps in his autobiography Night. Both of these intimate books reveal truly horrific events and details about the crimes against humanity that went on during WWII, although one author clearly had experienced more appalling episodes. While both Jeannie and Elie suffered heavily and lost family connections

The Holocaust was a big tragedy that started on January 30, 1933, and ended in 1945.These twelve years affect a lot of people around the world differently mentally, physically and emotionally. There are some people who actually went through this horrible time period and was able to tell their story and some people who left her diary behind for others to tell their story. One book I read that stood out from other books During the Holocaust was The Girl in the Green Sweater: A Life in Holocaust 's Shadow by Krystyna Chiger. The story was told by Chiger herself.
This year in English, I had to read Night by Elie Wiesel during the time in class we were learning about Holocaust. The memoir was about a young teenager life in Auschwitz-Birkenau Camp during the Holocaust. While reading this book, I learned many things like how some people did not give up, how Nazis dehumanized prisoners and how Eliezer and many people were changing throughout the Holocaust. While reading Night, I also learned how some people did not give up including Eliezer.
“The Holocaust was the state-sponsored persecution and mass murder of millions of European Jews, Romani people, the intellectually disabled, political dissidents and homosexuals by the German Nazi regime between 1933 and 1945.” With all this horror going on, the innocent people who were trapped in these camps tried their best to keep their faith in God and find hope in times of despair. A Book that shows finding hope in times of despair is Night by Elie Wiesel. This book summarizes the Holocaust and the innocent people trying to find hope and keep their faith in God. The Memoir Night has numerous examples of finding hope in dark times.
