It was 1942 in Frankfurt, Germany and you could almost make out the smell of the cold winter air. World War II was uprising and the Nazis were scattered all over Germany, they were taking hundreds of thousands of Jews each day. They were being taken to camps that no one ever returned from. The only people who did end up surviving, were those who escaped, and the stories that were being told by the escapers were a living horror story. In a small house, which was a faded blue color with missing roof pieces and slightly cracked windows, was a Jewish family of six with only two bedrooms to share and a living room that could barely fit three people. The parents, Claudia and Bruno, had both lost their job. They barely had enough food for two meals …show more content…
The children had no parents to make them meals or to wash their clothes. They had to survive on their own with little money they found around the little faded blue house. After two weeks without their parents Karla began to worry about them getting caught by the Nazi and taken away to the prison camps. The kids were almost out of food from around the house and there was no way they could leave and not get caught. Karla found a hiding spot in the basement of the faded blue house where they would go if there happens to be an emergency. It was a big spot under the wooden floor in the basement, they piled the rest of the food in there and added some blankets and pillows for sleeping because there was no way they were coming out of that anytime soon. Four weeks had gone by hiding in there and all that was left for food was one small potato. Lilo had started to become sick and grew very weak . That night Karla snuck out the house with the small amount of money she had to her possessions, she knew a small bakery around the corner that her parents old friends own. She sprinted to the brick bakery and snuck in, in the back …show more content…
It had probably been about an hour or so after they had woken up, they had nothing to look forward to like school, sports or even playing outside with their friends- they hadn't been outside since their parents left, except for Karla- all there was to look forward to was eating once a day. No one knew what day it was or what time it was but it was probably in late January, they had missed Hanukkah. It was then about 10:00 pm and all the kids were sleeping besides for Klara, she was looking around in the dark, small place in the basement, she was wondering if she and the kids would make it through World War II, if they did where they would go (because for all they knew Claudia could have been dead) and how would they live. A pounding sound on the floor above startled Karla and she lost her train of thought. Her heart pounded harder as the pounding got closer and closer to the basement, then her life started to fall apart after one single second. One of the officers lifted up the top of the emergency room door and there he was, a tall man with perfectly jelled brown hair and dirt ugly brown eyes that matched the ugly off green uniform they wore. Karla sat up and stared right up at him as if she had never seen anyone like that before, he stared right back at her. "Get up and get out of there this instant!" demanded the officer. Karla obeyed the

Because Lucek was 14, he had to register himself telling his name, age, address in the ghetto, and vocation. I believe that the first sign of violence in the ghetto was when a Jewish man was locked outside the building and shot by some Germans right then and there. One day- the day that changed everything- Manek and Lucek went to the labor office and 4 Germans in their brown SA uniforms started taking peoples Kennkarten’s.

Sacrifice by fire. The Greek definition of the word Holocaust still serves as a haunting reminder of the tragic campaign waged by the Nazis during World War II, and their “systematic, state-sponsored persecution and murder” of six million Jews and others who didn’t fit the specific vision or “perfect race.”
Over the last two and a half millennia, the Jewish people have faced hardship and intolerance from various groups living beside them. A number of historians however believe that of all the atrocities committed against the Jewish people, none parallel the Holocaust. While these historians believe that the Holocaust was a unique occurrence, history rejects this notion of Nazi anti-semitism being an special incident.
The Holocaust began on January 30, 1933, when Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany, to May 8, 1945, when the war in Europe officially was over. About six million Jewish civilians perished because of it. There were some people that survived. What impact did the Holocaust have on its survivors? When the Holocaust ended, all survivors suffered from different emotions because they survived the tragedy. The survivors lost loved ones, and they had to keep that memory of the event with them for the rest of their lives. As a result of these emotions, they coped in many negative ways. Survivors of the Holocaust experienced guilt, isolated themselves, and suffered from a mental illness.
The Holocaust was a terrifying time, it brought to light how important it was to fight for each other. Men and women either sat and stayed quiet out of fear or they got up and fought for what they believed in no matter the cost. These brave souls risked their lives and the lives of their families to save those prosecuted by the Nazis. They weren’t afraid to stand up to the Nazis. Some hid Jews in their homes, other snuck into ghettos and other places to help people in need. Some even falsified documents in order to help Jews escape. Individuals like these stand out in history for showing that standing up to oppressors can be done, and that it is the right thing to do as a part of the human race.
In the period of 1942-1945 eight jewish people had gone into hiding due to the Holocaust. There was nearly 11 million people that died during the holocaust, and 6 million of them were jews. But the eight people struggling to survive in the most brutal conditions. During the two year period the characters moods change and relationships change throughout the unsparing period.
I’ve seen many people die over the spain of my time here. Boxed into trains like roddents with no rights, no voice. It was another reguglar day here in the ghetto daily deportations, daily check ups at the factories. I Dan a worker here at the factory fear the day when I am no longer able to work for these, these devils. The word around here is that when theyre done with your you’re shipped out to a camp to die. Many say theyre ready to fight back against the Nazi’s i will never speak of them as soldiers because soldiers fight for their country not prison the ones that live here.
The Holocaust is not an enjoyable thing to talk about, but it was sadly a big part of History. If you think about it the only thing the Holocaust did was just to kill millions of innocent people.Sadly, those people just suffered most of their lives.
