Personal Narrative: Paranoid Personality Disorder

When Hitler was a child, his mother was ill and she was healed by a Jewish doctor. Years later, when Hitler came into power and started the genocide known as the Holocaust, he gave that doctor and his family safe passage out of Germany. Although he spared a couple of Jews, he still murdered 6 million of those people. In the memoir, “Night”, written by Elie Weisel, he shares his Holocaust story. In the end though, there inevitably are groups of people to blame for these horrific events.

This did not last for long as mama announced that papa needed to speak with me. I went back to my room just for a moment, in order to get my clothes I was drawn to the sleeping strange man. I went to the bathroom and threw on my clothes in a haste. Luckily, I ran into papa by the doorway. Papa is usually both cheerful and calm, but today, he was neither of these things. He said that he needed to tell me something. Although, I already knew he was keeping something from me, I did not hurt any less. Papa explained to me that the strange man was the child of a Jewish man that saved his life during World War I. This was the same man that gave papa his prized accordion. I always had wondered why he kept it since he barely made any money playing it at bars. papa made a promise with the soldier's wife to protect their son if he needed it. Andhe did need us. It was then that papa held my hand, whether it was for mine or his own comfort; I do not know. Moments later, papa brought up an old promise we made on Hitler's birthday; I swore to keep a secret for him. I clearly remember papa's daunting message that followed, since his voice suddenly became deep and mature: " 'Liesel if you tell anyone about the man up there, we will all be in big trouble...At the very least mama and I will be taken away...For starters, I will take each and every one of your books-- and I will burn them... I'll throw

If you were to see me walking down the street you would never guess that I was in foster care. I dress and act like your everyday 17 year old, and in a way I am. Except I was placed in foster care when I was 15 years old. Scratch that I put myself in foster care when I was 15 years old. I bet you’re asking “why”? “Why would you do such a thing”? Well my mother was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia also known as disorganized schizophrenia. Just in case you don't know disorganized schizophrenia is characterized by incoherent and illogical thoughts and behaviors, so when you are 15 that's not a good situation to be in. My mother couldn't keep a job therefore she could not support us.

As I faced the world of adulthood, I felt lost and unsettled. I was then diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and living with this disorder is my biggest weakness in life. Some days I am fine, others I am constantly worrying about the tiniest of things. I am overcoming this disorder, everyday might be a battle, but I will not let it define me.

That was the phrase that had been assaulting my ears for the last half an hour. Although it wasn’t odd that someone was telling me that specific phrase, this time it was different. My grandmother, whom I thought had understood my problems, had just proven to me that she actually didn’t. At the age of 12, I was heartbroken.

Anger billowed up inside me and grew with every step I took. I headed home, hoping my parents would be upset for how the Jews were being treated. They never liked Hitler or the things he stood for, but they had never disobeyed the Nazis either. I resented them for not standing up to the Nazis. I hoped that after hearing this news, they would become outraged and try to help the innocent Jews. I had always thought to myself, that if I were ever in their shoes at this point in time, that I would at least try to help the Jews, and maybe even hide some of them.

He was a very nice guy, an average person who deserved to live. He talked and talked about his wife Anja, I could tell by his eyes he desperately wanted to contact her. That’s when he had asked if I could pass on a letter to her, of course, I had said yes. His face lit up with happiness, as truly in that moment he was happy. It was as if at that moment all the guilt I had felt for the holocaust had gone anyway, I was a good person. Slowly all the bad memories started fading away, being replaced by the faces of those I had helped. I had admired them, all of them, the ones who had gotten this far and not given up because I would have. Yes, it was a risk and some people would call me crazy, but I not only helped multiple Jew’s hold on hope, but I was able to forget about some of the traumatizing events that I experienced. The Jew’s weren’t the only victims of the holocaust I was one as

Do you know who Adolf Hitler was? Many people calm that they do, but they only know the name. I am here to tell you who Hitler was, and why he hated the Jews. When I was researching I found out a lot of things about Hitler that really surprised me. One thing that I found when I was researching, is that Hitler had people take pictures of him practicing his speech, so that he knew what he looked like. Do you want to know more about Hitler? If you do then you might find my paper satisfying.

“They undress you. They give you new clothes. They shave you. They divided you. My parents, my sisters, my brothers — they go to the gas chambers,” he said. Riteman was spared because he was selected for hard labor. But he lost his entire family: his five brothers, two sisters, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. This is the true story of The Holocaust was the systematic murder of over 6,000,000 Jews. Adolf Hitler, Germany’s leader at the time, was the reason why all these innocent people were murdered, he and ultimately committed suicide on April 30th, 1945. However, his evil spirit still lies, with all those people that still live to tell the tale of the atrocities they experienced, beyond words, in his concentration camps. The way one can speak the unspeakable horrors of their experiences in the Holocaust is through repetition, symbolism, and imagery.

Tragic events strike the world in many different forms; from simple shootings to ethnic genocides. Although theses acts of hatred sound widespread and diverse in the cause; it is the indifference and ruthlessness that an individual portrays. This sort of behavior accommodates society and encourages people to accept and follow its routine and principles, such as the events that took place during the Holocaust. During the time period of 1933 to 1945, Adolf Hitler, an Austrian World War I veteran, decided to partake in twisted behavior. Hitler believed that in order to do his nation justice, the nation needed an ethnic cleansing. This ethnic cleansing involved choosing to degrade and torture the lives of millions of people, using Jews as his

On our way up the stairs to our unit, a girl named Jada came up behind me. “So why are you here?” I was thrown off by the personal question she asked so casually. Only an hour prior I had arrived at the facility and was introduced to the other eleven teenagers.

Adolf Hitler struggled greatly with his psychological problems. After several decades, a historian has discovered a paper documenting a workup of Hitler’s mental health. This paper displayed Hitler’s many symptoms from epilepsy and a clear diagnosis of paranoia (“Inside Hitler’s Mind”, 2012). These symptoms include feeling anxious, depressed, irritable, fearful, and panicked. Hitler was not of sound mind and amplified others’ flaws to mitigate his own. It is clear Hitler’s

I've struggled with Generalized Anxiety Disorder for years. It started when I was 11 years old...I bean over thinking things and became increasingly scared of social situations. In high school, it escalated quickly. I knew all too well the horror of anxiety attacks and many times I was too afraid to even get out of bed.

They say we die twice, once when our last breath leaves our body, and again when the
