Sonderkommandos who by Primo Levi standards were in a league with the SS officers, were the ones to put a stop to the horrors of Treblinka II, it made me question Levi’s testimony and question if his judgment was clouded by his opinion instead of facts. One thing that I know for sure is that Sonderkommandos may be viewed by many as perpetrators, but no one can question that they were heroes for having destroyed Treblinka II and stopping the killings of Jews by thousands. It’s essential to grasp the concept and understand the importance of The Shoah not only by a survivor or someone who was directly affected by The Shoah, but to learn about it by a second party. The reason it’s important to learn it from a second party is that they bring an outside look that is not affected by emotions or
She had to be escorted to and from school to avoid people harassing her. This didn’t just affect her, it affected her whole family. Her father lost his well paying job, and her mother Lucille couldn’t go to the grocery store in peace. As her family suffered, many other people were empathetic for them.

(). Shortly after that, she was taken away to America to become a slave. Where this leads to a lot of her descendants hating white people and the injustice that
Instead of pitying herself, she decided to be courageous and do her duty- to almost any extent. For example, she was once caught by the Confederate army for spying, and was sentenced to death by hanging. Even so, she stayed calm, never gave up, and improvised her way out. She used her previous acting experience to pretend to be sick. The court allowed her to get better first, but after she had “healed”, she acted weak at court.
I have lived a Thousand Years Growing up in the Holocaust This book is written by Livia Bitton Jackson and is a historical recollection horror. It’s about Elli Friedman the author of my book review when she was thirteen. The Nazi forced her and her family into a Jewish ghetto during the World War II in March 1944. As a survivor she has chosen to write down her own experiences of the Holocaust.
In the novel Night, Elizer Wilson experiences traumatic events during the Holocaust, and constantly describes him, his father, and the other Jews as objects multiple times in the book. From these camps, Jewish people weren’t as human, giving the Jews the belief that they were nothing more than “things.” Thanks to this, the Jews believed that they were no more than animals, or objects thanks to: cattle cars, identities stripped away, and forced migrations between camps. The cattle cars were used to transport the Jews from camp to camp during the Holocaust. They would stuff Jews into these carts in very cramped numbers, making the ride unbearable for the Jews.
Eve Bunting created an allegory that expressed the holocaust through an extended metaphor and indirect/direct characterization in the Terrible Things. The extended metaphor that is conveyed through Terrible Things is relating the forest and all of its animals to the victims of the holocaust/those that did not help. Every single animal is taken by the Terrible things except for little rabbit. The Terrible things can be inferred to be humans through indirect characterization of them having nets and blotting out the sun. This is similar to how they trapped and took Jews in the holocaust.
In a span of 10 years, the Holocaust killed over 7 million people, that’s just as much as the population of Hong Kong. In the book Night, by Elie Wiesel, Wiesel shares his experience on how he survived the Holocaust and what he went through. How he dealt with the horrors and even to how he felt of his dad’s death and how he saw himself after it was all over. As he tried to publish it he was constantly turned down due to the fact of how horrid and truful it was. He still tried and tried until it was finally published.
She was worked so much that after a while she started to become deformed from being a doffer for so long. She was still required to work even though she was deformed which just shows humanity how much child labor laws were needed to be enforced back in the 1800s. Because of the fact that child labor laws were not enforced back in this time many children had to suffer the abuse of the workers over working them and they also had to suffer growing up with deformities and not being able to grow up strong and healthy like kids should
Reiner was not living at the time that World War I began and ended. Reiner’s mother witnessed those hard times and saw how battle affected Germany as a whole. Germany had to surrender in order for the killings to cease, so that destroyed Germany’s pride, as well as a loss of a bunch of merchandise and land to the Allies. Growing up during the Holocaust would honestly scar me for life, especially if I were a Jew. Living in the American South during Jim Crow segregation would have opened my eyes at an earlier age when it comes to racism, because the subject would be right in front of me.
