many ways, they suffered before the Holocaust, in the Holocaust, and after the Holocaust, if they were even lucky to survive. Thank god the Holocaust is over but, I feel bad for the people that suffered in it. It is hard to believe that long ago Jewish people and other innocent people were forced to go into concentration camps. There was an estimated 6 million

“Being a hero doesn’t mean you're invincible, it just means that you're brave enough to stand up and do what's needed, “says a sagacious man named Rick Riordan . Often times you see heroes on television who have super strength of flying powers, but heroes come in many different forms of people. Irena Sendler for example, was a great hero. Not many people know the name of Irena Sendler, she had done something big that impacted and saved the lives of many jews. Some heroes may be fictional as well

Nationalism, what comes to our minds when we hear this such word? This one could mean when the inhabitants of the country wish to fight for the nation rather of a certain group? Does it mean that this particular person wanted freedom from which they still fight on from the oppressors of the land? When we say nationalism, it is a feeling of devotion to have pride in one’s country. But how this nationalism reaches its people in order to be free and, consequently become patriot in the country. For

Satire is the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people’s lack of intelligence, particularly in politics and other topical issues. In Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, the author criticizes the South before the Civil War using satire through slavery/racism and religion/superstition. Mark Twain uses satire through slavery/racism in the South to expose and criticize human failings. The black professor who is smart, wealthy, owns white clothes, and has

Elie Wiesel expresses his feelings about the existence of God in page 175 of his novel Night, he states: “Some of the men spoke of God: His mysterious ways, the sins of the Jewish people, and the redemption to come. As for me, I had ceased to pray. I concurred with Job! I was not denying His existence, but I doubted His absolute justice.” Although I have had some rough times and have felt hopeless just like this author, I have

The flag of the United States is such a beauty. Wouldn't you agree? In this report, I will introduce the history of the United States Flag, the symbolism shown by the flag, and why there are many different versions of the Stars and Stripes leading up to our most current one. The flag of the United States has many different symbols that have a great impact and influence on the United States, but all the symbols eventually lead to patriotism because that is what the flag, as a whole, represents. So

Milkweed was wrote by Jerry Spinelli. This is a story of an orphan in 1930s Poland who is very naïve and knows nothing. Not who he is, who other people are, nothing of the world around him. He knows only that he is small and fast and able to snatch food right from under the noses of the people it belongs to. He is eventually taken in by a gang of orphan kids, and becomes the special ward of one in particular, Uri. I really loved Uri's character. He's generous, kind, wise beyond his years, in tune

Throughout Heart of a Dog and Heart of Darkness, Joseph Conrad and Mikhail Bulgakov depict the dehumanizing effects of oppression––specifically slavery and discrimination––on both the oppressed and their oppressors. Dehumanization, as portrayed by these texts, is the unjust stripping (of oneself or others) of human dignity and respect; it is also a subjugation to needless attack, physical or verbal. In Heart of a Dog, Philippovich is dehumanized as he descends from a state of prestige to bumbling

He wrote the book as a way to tell his story of hope. One way he did that was by not losing hope in his religion. The entire book was about his survival through the concentration camps. He became imprisoned in these camps because of his religion, Jewish. But, he managed to still hold his faith while in the camp. Some examples of this were still praying at times of great fear, before meals, and trying their very hardest to celebrate their custom holidays. There were times when he questioned his religion

Temple. Two themes of Jewish history are persecution and perseverance since no matter how much they were persecuted and hated, they always found a way to persevere and continue their faith. The way the Jews and another group of people were treated

Not everyone was Jewish that died in the Holocaust, when people think of the Holocaust, they often only think of the Jews that perished. Between 1933 and 1945, more than eleven million men, women, and children were murdered in the Holocaust. Only approximately six million of these were Jews. A lot of people were killed, about 280,000 Jews and 11,000 Roma, (or Gypsies. All of these people were killed during the pro-fascist regime of dictator Marshal Ion Antonescu. Romanian’s today are banning the

the rise of World War I, in 1915, the Ottoman Empire set a plan to eliminate the Armenian race and portray it as a “threat” to the development of the Turkish nation. Over the course of just 3 years, this plan annihilated over 3/4 of the Armenian population in the Empire, or 1.5 million individuals. This devastating historical event might sound familiar, because just a few decades later the most large-scaled genocide in the history of humankind conducted by the Nazis took the lives of around 6 million

Australia is a country located between the South Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. It has a population of over 24 million people. Although Christianity makes up over 60% of Australia, there are only roughly 110,000 Jews in Australia whose History dates back to the 18th Century and has kept growing ever since. Today, the Jewish community in Australia, which only accounts for 0.5% of the population is very active and it is still a big part of Australia. This was the first documented time that

hearing what he did to those Jewish people in the building would have mind- blowing and extremely appealing to me. I would have either said “no” or just walked away. This is a big thing that happened after the Holocaust, the Jews were left with this horrible experience and lifetime of sorrow while some Nazi’s felt extreme bad for what they did. Some Nazi’s wanted to forgive the Jewish people for the heinous acts they committed, but the majority of the Jewish population would never forgive the Nazi’s

In “The Mysterious Stranger,” Mark Twain expresses his ideas and versions relating to the moral sense. He portrays a society that can never stand out. Twain held that the majority of the citizens seek guidance from outside sources. Indeed, the citizens can rarely use their independent thoughts. He believes that the resilience is ruining the Eseldorf’s citizens and their lives. Satan emerges to explicate the citizen’s irrational behaviors. One would believe that gone are the days of foolish thoughts

Transition to a Jewish Adult "Are you ready?" questioned my mother before I stepped onto the bimah, or the dais, to chant my first torah portion. I have been to many Jewish bat mitzvahs, however, having my own bat mitzvah was a completely different experience. All of this preparation, and the whole day came and left by the blink of an eye. The process leading up to the day was more important than the actual event. This coming of age taught me many things, including responsibility, determination

Nature is the predetermined traits that people are born with, while nurture is the influence that affects people after they’re born. The debate surrounding Nature V. Nurture is how much of a person’s traits is predetermined and how much is influenced by the environment. Mary Shelley's believes in nurture more than nature. Victor Frankenstein has certain traits that he’s born with. Frankenstein is born into a prestigious, wealthy family. Being born into prominent family means that Frankenstein is

The Grand Inquisitor, as described by Ivan, puts himself in a very pessimistic attitude toward human nature, he states humans are in essence weak and they need to be controlled through miracle mystery and authority. On this thematic I chose the following quote, “That day must come when men will understand that freedom and daily bread enough to satisfy all are unthinkable and can never be had together, as men will never be able to fairly divide the two among themselves. And they will also learn that
