A Long Journey Home By Lucy Lipiner

The Holocaust was an extermination of Jews. Adolf Hitler, a powerful dictator, tried to wipe out the entire Jewish population with his Nazis.

This was also the people that would kill them and make them do horrible things.These were the people that didn't make them feel like people. “75 to a car... no toilets... no doctors ... no medication”( Leitner 7) Isabella is talking about how they were moved place to place in these little cattle cars and how horrible the conditions normally where.

During one of the most horrifying times of Gerda’s life, she managed to survive due to the friendships she had and gained along the way. Ilse was her best friend during these times, even if Ilse didn’t make it to see liberation, she always was optimistic and kind-hearted toward everyone she met.

It was the second week that Edith woke in the horrid concentration camp. The acrid smell of burning bodies did not mix well with the biting cold. At any moment, the guards would arrive, ushering the half-asleep prisoners out of their barracks to start the arduous work day. After what felt like ages, the guards finally arrived, bursting through the doors of the barrack.
