Agudas Yisroel Convention Analysis

I have to admit that I had lost contact with my dear Jew friend, Aaron Bauer. It was unfortunate, but I sincerely believed that our decision was to lift each other’s burden and to protect this friendship. Integrating with one another had been a grave danger for both my wife and I, and Bauer understood our situations. I was no longer part of our secret Communist cell, for most of our Jewish members had dissolved into their separate ways following the aftermath of the Nuremberg Laws. Moreover, my wife and I had been busy with our full-time employment in the Volkswagen factory, for the KdF had promise us many trips and also the “People’s car.” There was time when I was excited about the KdF, but I immediately direct my thoughts to my Communists

Chaim Shapiro was born in Lomza, Poland. On September 1st, 1939, the Germans invade Poland, quickly annihilating many of the people, including his younger brother Nosson. Soon after the Soviet Union signs a treaty the Germans, giving over Poland to them. Out of fear that he would lose his religion under atheist communist rulership, his mother pleads with him to leave, saying the fateful words “Go My Son.” He leaves war-torn Poland for Vilna, Lithuania, joining with the rest of the Kamenetz Yeshiva. Because of the frequent casualties of war people were forced to move from place to place for safety, because of which he eventually finds himself alone on a train bound Moscow, deep within the Soviet Union. Upon arrival he is sent to work

Before the war started Solomon Radasky was living in a small town in Warsaw called Praga. “I had a very nice life there, I had my own shop. I used to make fur coats”(Radasky). The last week in January in 1941 his Mother and his older sister were killed. “One morning I was caught by the jewish police on the street and they forced me to keep the trains running and to keep the snow off the tracks, one day I was returning from work

During World War II and the Holocaust, morality collapsed. It was no longer easy to differentiate between what was good and what was evil. With a world filled with starvation, dehumanization, and dictatorship, Jewish children had a rough life. They were not free to run away and play; instead they were either in hiding or a camp. The three sources that will be analyzed in this essay demonstrate how the Jews and Gentiles risked their lives to help save innocent Jewish children.

A majority of the exhibit was technology based or was made up entirely of dioramas. It was very interesting to discover that the museum uses a mediated based approach to inform their audience of the events that happened during the time of the Holocaust. To heighten the experience, the museum hands out cards with pictures of Jewish people who were affected by the Holocaust. At the end of the tour, there is a scanner that will reveal the fate of the person on your card. I received Peter Freistadt. Peter Freistadt was born on October 13, 1931, in Bratislavia, Czechoslovakia. With the arrival of anti-Semitic laws in the 1940s, him and his family had to wear the Star of David on their sleeves and a brand. The star branded them for all to see that they are jewish. They were required to hire a non-Jewish man to overlook their family owned business. They were forced to leave their home. Peter Freistadt was one of the lucky few to escape the ghettos, and the horrors that followed. There was one section within the exhibit called "The Hall of Testimony". This is where you can hear the stories of Holocaust survivors. This provides live testimony of the events from the period and semi fills the void that was caused due to the previous lack of artifacts. The Museum honors the survivors in a permanent exhibit titled “Witness to Truth”. The

Because of not having encountered the repulsions of the Holocaust like their predecessors did, second era Jews regularly since they should show their regard and thankfulness towards their seniors. Obligated to the past era, these Jews scan for courses in which to respect those ancestors who lost their lives 50 years prior (Park, 2011). The courses in which this era pays homage are very various. According to Park, others are completely committed to the association of crusades with a specific end goal to secure equity for the sake of Jewish families whose belonging were seized by the Nazis amid WWII and put away in Swiss banks.

By analyzing Rose Cohen’s autobiography, “Out of the Shadow”, it uncovers the various social and economical hardships that Russian-Jews faced living in America. Even though adapting to a new life in America came with many obstacles for Jews, Rose’s story shows that many of them made it through their hardships and ultimately overcame their adversities. Rose Cohen’s autobiography serves as a great resource as to what Jewish life was in everyday America during the late nineteenth century and early twentieth century.

The chapter starts out describing the terror of war and the beginning of what would become known as a tragic time period in history. Germany invaded Otwock, Poland on September 1, 1939. Early that morning bombs were dropped awakening the frightened yeshiva students of Otwock (p38). The students rushed to the Rebbe for instructions on what to do from there and he instructed them to leave for Latvia, which was a neutral country nearby. In addition, he informed them to not be afraid because God will always protect them (p38). This context of the reading shows how people looked up to the Rebbe by coming to him for

Millions of Jews lived in eastern Europe, and then Germany invaded Poland in 1939, more than two million Polish Jews came under German control. German’s invaded the Soviet Union

Rosicky realizes that cities "built you in from the earth itself, cemented you away from any contact with the ground. You lived in an unnatural world, like the fish in an aquarium who were probably much more comfortable than they ever were in the sea" (243). He begins making plans to become a farm hand in the west, doubtful that he would ever own his own land. His Old World experience makes this seem impossible since "his people had always been workmen" and "nobody in his family had ever owned any land,--that belonged to a different station of life altogether' (243). For Rosicky the idea of owning land really is a dream, and once he attains it he believes that "to be a landless man was to be a wage-earner, a slave, all your life; to have nothing, to be nothing" (247).

It bears mentioning that the ardent advocates of Jewish proselytization are not pious Haredim—men who spend their days poring over the timeless texts of tradition—nor are they of the Modern Orthodox persuasion, a coterie who attempts the Sisyphean task of synthesizing values both ancient and modern. No, these zealous purveyors of Judaism have emerged from the lonely pews and desolate temples of the more progressive Reform and Conservative movements, a truth which is acutely revelatory.

The group that will be discussed in this paper is that of Jewish Community Services’, Rehabilitation Education Division. This is the division

First, I want the members of my community, the elders, the parents, educators, as well as the learners, directly involved in delegating the type of Jewish education that will be implemented. I can foresee this creating issues

Amal Amireh is a Palestinian-American who migrated from Palestine when she was young. Her parents were both Palestinians, but her dad left in the 1950’s to go to America to earn his citizenship, but he left Amal, her mother, and her brothers in Palestine. Her father would come and visit her time to time. Her family lived in a town in the West Bank. Amal felt when living in Palestine that she was “in prison” always being occupied and not feeling that her life is normal. Amal grew up with the feeling of Israeli occupation, always watching and keeping them under control. She felt that she had a lack of national rights as a Palestinian and was always there when she was growing up. The issue between the Arabs and Jewish she feels is a “national conflict” with two groups.
