I only knew him as Grandpa. My sweet, adoring Grandpa. My hero. For many others, Karl Kalassay was a hero too, but for a different reason. Unable to join the Army due to poor eyesight, in 1939, when he was twenty-two years old, Karl was hired by the Office of War Information. His job was to read newspapers and telegrams from Hungary and develop details of what was going on inside the country as events unfolded in the European Theater. He read newspaper reports about seemingly mundane events, but that actually contained valuable information important to U.S. war intelligence. For example, he may have read something like this: Private Kalman of the 1st Royal Hungarian Bicycle Corps visited his parents in Budapest while on leave from his
My Jewish holocaust survivor is a man named Solomon Radasky. He was born in Warsaw, Poland on May 17, 1910. Out of the 78 people in his family, he is the only one to survive.
David Jon Kassan means by saying “drawing the eye without drawing the eye” that he doesn’t start drawing the eyes with lines. Instead, he starts the eye with dark shadows of the eye to set the shape of the eye. I think the process of going from basic to the specific details is an interesting way to draw the eye. Using charcoals, in general, is challenging because it’s not easy to lighten an area once the area is dark. For example, when I use charcoal I start first with the dark areas or shadows and after that, I go to the lighter area of the figure. David Kassan used a white chalk pencil that helped him with the lighter details which helped his because the pencil was not powdery so it did not smudge. I think the process worked nicely for him
Karl voluntarily joined the Hitler Youth because he was naive and lack of life experience so that he was convinced by false information provided by the Nazis easily. Karl joined the Hitler Youth when he was twenty one years old. Before that he did not care much about the world around him. As he mentioned, "Otherwise all I knew about the Jews was what came out of the loudspeaker or what was given us to read. We were told they were the cause of all our misfortunes...They were trying to get on top of us, they were the cause of war, poverty, hunger, unemployment..." (The Sunflower 40). Radio news, propagandas, newspapers provided false information about the Jews so that the Germans will treat the Jews badly because they all
As hunters across the state venture out into Alaska's forests and tundra in hopes of filling their freezer with moose meat, hunters in the Lower kuskokwim have bit the bullet and hung up their rifles. They are entering the first year of a self-imposed five-year moose-hunting moratorium they hope will significantly improve their moose hunting in the future.“The main stem of the Lower Kuskokwim is one of the few places left in Alaska that has outstanding moose habitat and extremely low numbers of moose,” said Roger Seavoy, the Bethel area biologist for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
(Nazi German Schutzstaffel) unit in Austria that controlled emigration. This unit was well-known for their Jewish looting and throwing Jewish individuals out of the country. (Brager,1) He was in charge of Jewish affairs for eight years and was not the chief of department IVB. This department was in charge of executing Adolf Hitler’s final solution. Karl was the head of all of this, he was executing these plans.
Sergeant First Class Patrick Skulzacek is a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom. After one year of deployment, he realized he was already a changed man, battling against different symptoms of PTSD, which include night terrors. So, his son Tyler Skluzacek introduced something that will help his father, as well as other veterans suffering from the condition.
Herschel Schmoeckel Pinchas Yerucham Krustofsky is the cynical, burnt out, addiction-riddled smoking clown host of Bart and Lisa's favorite TV show, The Krusty the Clown Show.
For the research on the “messengers of the Holocaust”, that I am now completing I am going back to Karski of 1940-1944, following him from Poland through London to Washington, D.C. I am following his path through the archival record: what he knew, what
The description written on the flaps of Skorzeny's Secret mission stated "(It) is a battler warning to Americans who habitually underestimate the strength and determination of our ruthless enemies". This statement does great justice to Skorzeny, one of the most decorated and achieved leaders in the Nazi Regime. He aided in the recapture of Mussolini, headed the "Secret Army", engineered the overthrow of the Hungarian government, helped lay out plans to bomb New York, and had almost won the Battle of the Bulge with his troop of commandos. Skorzeny gave his first hand accounts of several missions and even several personal encounters with the Fuehrer himself, Hitler. He had mostly focused on what had actually happened, he did include some of his personal frustrations when the government had not aided him with more supplies, but this was a quiet undertone as compared to the rest of the book. The only sharp spikes of emotion that showed through were when he recounted his meetings with Hitler, where he expressed his awe and nervousness at the encounter.
Karl and his family knew what they were doing were wrong, yet they said and did nothing, Apathy, one of the worst things in the world alongside Violence and Loneliness, all things that Jews could have experienced during world war 2…. Even worse though, punishments, “The Nazi authorities soon closed in, and on February 5, 1942, Helmuth Hübener was Arrested. The Gestapo Tortured Helmuth for two days. They refused to believe that he had acted alone. Finally, he broke down and mentioned Karl and Rudi.
Although he is a Nazi, Oskar Schindler stood up against the Nazis because he was swayed by the brutality of the Nazis on Jews (although it is actually unknown why he really did it) and saved around 1,200 Jews from death from Nazi concentration camps by bribing Nazi officers to free Jews, employing Jews in his factories, and spending all of his money on anything that ensures his Jewish workers are fed and cared properly.
Schindler’s List “The list is an absolute good. The list is life.” –Itzhak Stern. This quote describes the 1,100 Jews that Schindler save. The list gave all 1,100 Jews life, after 6 million others were killed because of Amon Goeth and the SS Soldiers.
Oskar Schindler is a hero for saving over one thousand Jews, he used his position and money to save the Jews. Nobody really knows why he saved the Jews but they are happy that he did. We can’t imagine what all the Jews went through.
Tuesdays are without doubt spectacular. I gets to spend these special days with 13 spontaneous two year old children. They begin to arrive around 9:15. There are the few who never put up a fight or fuss, the few who are unpredictable and the many who need to be surgically removed from moms’ hip. I zip around serving as a fruit loop dispenser, a diaper changer, a nose wiper, a singer of songs and a live Barbie doll. Not to mention a wrestling match referee and a rescuer of stranded mountain climbers who despise coming down. In the midst of all the pandemonium there is structured play. The children who have a plan and a goal. The most common plan for this age seems to be “If I follow the boy with the truck long enough
He doesn’t look like one but the guys that bully him found out somehow. In this book there is a lot of action that makes you want to keep reading. In the book a lot of stuff happened but 3 of the main points was Karl taking boxing classes, the Nazi finding out he is Jewish, and Karl and his family escaping to America. Karl was going through a lot and seeing stuff no body his age should have seen or experienced. He would see cut open bodies outside on the way home, most of the bodies would be people he knew.
