(Page 6-10) Eva had a brother she was very close to, his name was Heinz. At the age of 9, Heinz had a problem with his left eye which had him blind in that one eye. Heinz always made Eva cry, telling her stories about him dying. They both lived with their dad, then Mutti and their pappy. They ate with other families in a large dining room, both German and Jews. (Page 11) They were Jewish, but over eight years Eva had spoken German, now her and her brother were taking French. (Page 12) November 9, 1938 7,500 Jewish shops were burnt down. (Page 13-14) Mutti didn't like that they didn't own their home by themselves anymore. (Page 17) Since 1933 lots of Jewish families lived in the same area, and their children would always play in the same area. (Page 21) Wearing the Star of David was a very important thing in this time. (Page 20-21) It was very interesting that Jews had to go to Jewish schools, not mixed with other students and they couldn't be taught by Christians. What I do not like is, all Jewish people cannot intend any cinemas, trains or anything that people will notice them. They also had to go to their own Jewish stores, which is not fair. (Page 21-22) Germans will arrest other Jews, just …show more content…
It's fun and awesome to find out how people actually died in the past. You want to know what happened to people who suffered, so if it happens again you can be prepared for it. This book tells you everything that has went through the camps, and If someone reads this book, they should definitely share it. If someone talks about the Holocaust sometime in their life, then you would know somethings about it, if you read this book. If someone likes biographies or realistic books, this is the book to read! Reading is fun, when you know you're finding more out about the world. It is really great, when you know the answers to something, from just reading a book... So read this book! I recommend it to
In view of the officials wanting their religious celebration to be over quick because the Germans arrested the leaders of the Jewish community and how their first edict was “Jews were prohibited from leaving their residences for three days”(wiesel 10). It clearly shows how the jews were even not being able to have peace on studying their religion. In addition, was when Hungarian police was kicking all the jews from their house. When the police start saying “All Jews,outside!Hurry!”(wiesel 16) it conveys how the police are not being fair to the Jews.
I choose this book because anytime I have to read a nonfiction book, the only nonfiction books I can read and enjoy reading the book are about Holocaust for some reason. I’m not sure why though. I got it at the school library, and my friend Elaina recommend me to read this book. The title appealed to me because it
When Hitler first came the people in her town didn't believe that he would invade them. When he did, they were all shocked. The Jews were then treated like trash. Eva says she will always remember one day and that is because the Nazis made them walk all the way to the town square. Once they made it, there was a fire in the middle of the ground.
The book Hitler Youth: Growing Up in Hitler’s Shadow (Hitler Youth) will teach readers so much they probably didn’t know about the holocaust. It is filled with so many interesting facts and the descriptions are so detailed that they will make the reader feel like they’re there. This is a great
Another book I read that taught me about life and facts about how Jews were treated during the holocaust was Night by Eliezer Wiesel. Night was about Eliezer who liked to be called Elsie and his memory as a teenager going through stages of his life where he thought he was going to die and how he overcame those obstacles. Before reading I had to get in a mindset that this book will be different from others and probably more graphic. While reading this book I imagined myself back in the 1940s and imagine what was going on, like being on the train and smelling the different things there. It was also hard imagining myself getting separated from his family and hearing them screaming trying to get to me. Throughout the whole story it was hard to

The story is a documentary but in a cartoon, comic type of way and is like an adventure that makes you just reflect about your life and back then. LIfe was a struggle to survive during the war if you were a Jew for they would hunt you down. Also it just reflects on feeling of how you would feel if you lost your family and all you had, even if you were rich and wealthy you would be treated like less than a human. The book leaves you thinking on many concepts and it's true how could a human be treated as less just because of your religion.
When Germany invaded Holland during the beginning of World War II, the Jews were the German soldiers and Adolf Hitler’s main targets. Jews were required to wear a yellow star on their shirt, and if they walked around town during the day, they risked being taken into captivity by the German soldiers. This, among other racism against
studying the holocaust opens peoples eyes to the danger of prejudices and ignorance.It allows us to apply the lessons learned from such an event to our everyday lives so as to keep any similar occurance from happening
“You have all these human rights no matter what your race, skin colour, sax, language, religion, opinion, family background, social or economic status, birth or nationality(2). In page 20-paragraph 9, it demonstrates low tolerance, and discrimination towards the Jews. “When three days were, there was a decree: every Jew must wear the yellow star.” This was a wristband that classified the Jews as a lower class. “But already they were issuing new decrees. We were no longer allowed to go in restaurants or cafes, to travel on the railway, to attend the synagogue, or to go into the street after six o’clock.”, page 21, paragraph 6, The Jews were forcibly taken away.
The Daily Lives of Jewish Children and Youth in the “Third Reich”, the title of the fourth chapter focuses mainly on the daily lives of the children. In April 1933, the “Law Against the Overcrowding of German Schools” was created, in essence establishing a quota of 1.5 percent total enrollment for Jews. Where Jews made up more than 5 percent of the population, schools could allow up to 5 percent of their pupils to be Jewish. Exemptions included Jewish pupils whose fathers had served during World War I, children of mixed marriages (with no more than two Jewish grandparents), and Jewish children with foreign citizenship (94-95). However, for the Elementary school, the Volksschule, attendance stayed the same. Like the other laws, the actual number of exemptions shocked the Nazis. School teachers and administrators barred Jewish children from schools events, inside and outside of school. When movies were shown, Jewish children weren’t allowed to attend them but afterward they had to listen to the other children discussing the film (95). I could not
If you want to learn about a period of history, there are many things you could go about doing to get the information you want. You could read a nonfiction book, or you could read a historical fiction book. If you specifically wanted to learn about the Holocaust and the treatment of the Jewish people around WWII, you could read The Nazi Hunters by Neal Bascomb- a nonfiction- or Something Remains by Inge Barth-Grözinger - a historical fiction. In this case, one of the options is the better one, and that better choice is The Nazi Hunters. The nonfiction is better than the historical fiction because it goes into more detail and is not hindered by plot. The Jewish people suffered greatly during the period of World War Two, as they were subjected
Imagine yourself being born as a Jew in the time of the Holocaust. Being forced to go into hiding, and go every day not knowing what will come next, living in fear of being captured by the Nazis and sent to a concentration camp. The Holocaust was a time in period when a guy named Adolf Hitler came into power of being the leader of the Nazis. The Nazis rounded and relocated nearly 1 million Jews from all across Europe to forced labor camps and extermination camps. There were different ways they got rid of the Jews. A quarter of the Jews were worked to death. The rest were sent immediately to gas chambers to be killed. Literature helps us remember and honor the victims of the Holocaust by reading and seeing all the suffering they went through.
The Holocaust was one of the most tragic events in history which ended many innocent Jewish lives. Six million Jews plus many more were completely wiped out due to the effects of the Holocaust. It is still unforgivable for the things the Nazi party did and is still a very questionable subject on how they were able to accomplish such devastation. To be able to organize the removal of an entire population of people based on their religion not only takes high intelligence, but most of all takes a very twisted and demented outlook on life. Learning about the holocaust and the people involved is very important, as well as how it has affected our world today. There are many very fascinating things about the holocaust but three
Learning about the Holocaust is important because it is a big part of world history. It teaches us about the traumatic events of World War II (WWII). It also shows us how people suffered, starved, and even died. Another thing it shows us is what events can occur when there is an abuse of power. The word Holocaust means, "sacrifice by fire".
