Risk Takers During The Holocaust

Choiceless Choices Throughout history, many people have made choiceless choices. A choiceless choice is when somebody makes a decision without thoroughly thinking it through. A time when this happened a lot was during the Holocaust. During this time, the jews had to make a lot of choiceless choices which could either mean life or death depending on their decisions. They usually made choiceless choices to decide what to say or do when they were getting to the camps.

A hero is someone who is willing to worry and think about others before themselves in tough situations. There are many heroes in the story, but there are only three who stood out the most. The first hero is Rudy Steiner. The second hero that stood out was Liesel Meminger. The last hero who stood out the best and didn't care for himself was Hans Hubermann. A hero might also sacrifice their life to help others.

What makes a person a hero? Is it their job? Their race? Their behavior? Well, a man named Leopold Socha proved that none of that matters and being a hero is just someone helping others out of the kindness of their heart. This is who and what Leopold did for 21 Jewish people when the Lwów ghetto was being taken over by the German army.

During the war and for many years after the Jewish people have been hiding. Many hid in forests after they escaped camps. And others hid anywhere they could find, like farms for example. Ruth tells about how before her and her family got taken away, they would hide in the floor boards. One of the children in Ruth's group tell her a story about how they hid in a sewer for years before it was safe to leave. The Jews also hide in other ways, like hen they disguised their ship as a British ship. Ned how when they got to Palestine they hid among the locals by dressing like them and mingling with

Who Made Bad Choices During the Holocaust? It’s not always easy to do the right thing, especially when someone who is respected is telling people to do the wrong thing. This is what happened to the Minor Nazi soldiers who carried out extermination orders, in addition to the SS officers who executed the “Final Solution” during the Holocaust. Furthermore, the Nazi soldiers and the SS officers respected Hitler although he told them to do the wrong thing. Besides Adolf Hitler, minor Nazi soldiers who carried out the mass extermination orders without questioning their superiors and Top SS officers who designed and executed the “Final Solution” for Hitler were the most responsible for the Holocaust because the Nazi’s negative power expanded when

Many of these secret homes were on busy streets that Nazis patrolled frequently. Anne Frank’s family was one of these Jews and took up residence in the hidden rooms above her father’s former office. As the end of the war neared, Nazi soldiers began to get worried and cared less about apprehending Jews than they did about killing the ones they already had taken as prisoner.

During World War II Raoul Wallenberg made an impact to Hungarian Jews. A hero is someone that is known for their courageous experiences. A hero shows that they are capable of doing what others might not have the courage to be able to do. After they have completed the action of protecting, saving, or helping others they will be known by only a portion of people. Raoul Wallenberg, a man who saved an amazing amount of Hungarian Jews was a hero to many.

Jews had to find places to hide from the Nazi. They hid in attics and cellars.The Jew had to keep quiet with other survivors and other religions. “Thousands of Jewish children survived in hiding.”When the children tried to keep themselves busy they had hobbies like building, writing, drawing etc. Many Jews had more survivors than expected.

During the Holocaust, there were many in need of rescuing and there were many people that would risk their lives to save others. The Holocaust was a time of horror and depression for

What had happened to the Jew in the holocaust happened very slowly and it was very quiet when it happened almost no one had known about it. The people had packed all of their stuff and was told to go out in to the road where almost everyone was there. Everyone in the road or streets was Jew or was part Jewish and the officer or the people that where telling the Jews what to do where German soldier that had orders to find them. After that lots of the Jewish people had lost their freedom, like the ones that had stores, their stores where broken into and stolen from and the got treated bad from all of the German people.

It was extremely difficult for survivors to rebuild their lives back in their home town. This is because “Jewish communities no longer existed in much of europe”(United States Holocaust Museum). And when the survivors tried to return to their houses most “just didn't feel welcome”(United States Holocaust Museum); “ they found that in many cases, their homes had been looted or taken over by others”(United States Holocaust Museum). On top of their houses often being stolen from their possession, there had been “anti-Jewish riots [that] broke out in several Polish cities” (Levine). Struggling with PTSD and attempting to find their lost relatives and friends that were more times than not killed in the holocaust, survivors really did not have a place to call

The Hardships of Living During The Holocaust By:Anali Moreno There was many things going on in the beginning of the 1930’s - the 1940’s. This was the time of the biggest murders of the century have begun. If I lived during the 1930’s - 1940’s in Germany I would be careful of the people I would talk to,the sickness and diseases,and the kidnapping of the Jews. To begin, a lot of people in Germany had to be very careful and suspicious about the people around them during the Holocaust. According to “The Book Thief” page 85 it states,” Toward the end of 1939,Liesel had settled into a life in Molching pretty well.

When the ghettos were first developed, the Jews presumed it was a safe place free of the oppressing outside world: “In Poland, the Jews . . . resigned themselves to the establishment of ghettos and hoped that living together in mutual cooperation under self-rule would make it easier for them to overcome the period of repression until their country would be liberated from the Nazi yoke.” (Berenbaum 3). Most of the Jewish people were cooperative, believing they would be freed soon: “If within the ghetto, they presumed they would somehow be safer, as they would no longer interact with non-Jews in quite the same way and be freed of daily humiliations and dangers.” (Berenbaum 4). They tried to live their normal lives as each day passed by. Tragically, the Jews had no idea of the Nazis true plans for them. When the truth of the “final solution” for the Jews was revealed to the community, revolts against the police and officials

When one thinks of heroes, names such as Ghandi, Martin Luther King, and Mother Theresa often come to mind. These people had done a lot of favors, courage, helps, and more of things for the people who needed them. The true definition of hero is a man of distinguished valor. Bravery, courage, intrepidity, boldness, daring, and prowess in war are a hero’s characteristics. However a hero is understood to be different to everyone. Upon closer examination, many different qualities than these become apparent. The definition of heroism changes with the context and time. Heroes of the past are not necessarily heroes of present time and vise versa. A person can be a hero for saving the life of one or of millions.
