Analysis Of Daniel's Story By Carol Matas

A multitude of books, both nonfiction and fiction, have been published with the main focus of or setting during World War II. But specifically, on members who experienced the Holocaust. In the words of Elie Wiesel, “Novelists made free use of [the Holocaust] in their work…In so doing they cheapened [it], drained it of its substance. The Holocaust continues to be a hot topic, fashionable, and guaranteed to gain attention and to achieve notoriety…” Public fascination with the despicable acts of Nazi Germany promotes novelists to write more stories about it. One such book is Sophie’s Choice by William Styron. Critically acclaimed and deemed a classic, his book has never been viewed as trivializing the Holocaust in the manner that concerned Wiesel.

In the book Escape Children of the Holocaust I learned about how important the Jewish legacy is, how difficult the holocaust was on Jewish children and families and how brave Hanci, Halina and Gideon were. I hope the Jewish legacy goes on forever; you can tell they lived a long hard life and they need an ovation. The book gave me a very accurate account, in my opinion, of the Holocaust. It showed me how the Jews lived during the Holocaust in an actual first person perspective. I admire Hanci for her bravery and endurance to hide in the snow while Nazis searched for

What if you were a holocaust survivor and asked to describe your catastrophic experience? What part of the event would you begin with, the struggle, the death of innocent Jews, or the cruel witnessed? When survivors are questioned about their experience they shiver from head to toe, recalling what they have been through. Therefore, they use substitutes such as books and diaries to expose these catastrophic events internationally. Books such as Maus, A survivor’s tale by Art Spiegelman, and Anne Frank by Ann Kramer. Spiegelman presents Maus in a comical format; he integrated the significance of Holocaust while maintaining the comic frame structure format, whereas comic books are theoretically supposed to be entertaining. Also, Maus uses a

In the book Daniel's story it is the story of death, and survival, of desperation, hope, evil and also lots of love. The story is told from Daniel’s perspective as he is experiencing the atrocities of the holocaust for jews in central Europe. When the story starts, he is a fourteen year old boy, riding on a train while looking at his pictures in the photo album. Daniel uses a photograph album to spark back his memory of the events from when he was six years old until the day he and his family are forced on to a train bound for the lode of ghetto. But after spending two and a half years in ghetto, Daniel is riding on a train again, but this time to Auschwitz labor/death camp and he has a few pictures with him that tells the times when he was in ghetto. He took pictures of

This book was effective and achieved the purpose of describing the Holocaust in a personal and relative manner. I do not think anyone who reads this book does not finish it with a better understanding of what the victims of concentration camps experienced. This book

The Holocaust was a traumatic event that most people can’t even wrap their minds around. Libraries are filled with books about the Holocaust because people are both fascinated and horrified to learn the details of what survivors went through. Maus by Art Spiegelman and Night by Elie Wiesel are two highly praised Holocaust books that illustrate the horrors of the Holocaust. Night is a traditional narrative that mainly focuses on Elie’s experiences throughout the holocaust while Maus is a comic book that focuses on the relationship between Art and his father and the generational trauma Art is going through as well as his father’s experiences during the Holocaust. Night and Maus are very different styles of

Hannah’s background as a Holocaust survivor is important for understanding the experience of the Holocaust. Her story provides unique insight on the Holocaust outside of concentration camps, dispels myths, and captivates the emotional aura of living during the Holocaust. Hannah’s story is one of resistance, danger, and the importance of family.

This novel I would recommend to any person who just doesn't really like to read a plain simple book, the book is a comic based on a true story during the holocaust and it's amazing. The comic lines are creative for some how it was made in mice instead of humans and it show a symbol of how Jew's where less than the Germans who were cats and just a whole different perspective and it's

Daniel's story was about a boy named daniel, daniel was a jewish person that live in the time when hitler was sending jews to concentration camps also know as the holocaust. The holocaust was very bad it took jews away from their homes, jobs and families and friends. hitler hated jews because they took away jobs and they weren't actually germans.hitler killed about six million jew in a couple of years. they way he would kill them was to poison the air or burn them. they never could escape until the U.S. stopped the camps after the war.

The Holocaust should be taught to 8th graders. The story of the 6 million lives that were lost need to be told. It is very evident at this point that 8th graders are able to understand and process the Holocaust. There is no reason not to teach the Holocaust, and every reason to teach it. This paper argues that the best approach is to teach children about the holocaust early on, because it’s in the interest of everyone that their first encounter with the Holocaust isn’t random, through a TV show or the internet. “...better...to help them navigate what they will learn about

During our Holocaust unit, I chose to read Paper Hearts by Meg Wiviott. Paper Hearts is a non-fiction book about two Jewish girls and how they survive Auschwitz. While I was picking my book for our Holocaust unit, Paper Hearts got my consideration due to the book's plot. This book is good. I am not a big fan of books that are Historical fiction. Even though it was a historical fiction book, it was still easy for me to stay interested in the book because the book is in free verse. I like this book because it shows how their bond with each other helps them survive Auschwitz. Despite the fact that, both Frania and Zlatka has lost everything they still both discovered friendship with one another.

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

The book I read was Never To Forget The Jews of the Holocaust by Milton Meltzer. The book is written by Meltzer’s true story of the. It tells the story of when over five million Jewish people were massacred. The book has no characters. From beginning to end the book takes place in Germany. It only tells the straight forward account of the Jewish Holocaust. He writes the story in an interesting view point because he is an old American Jew, watching events of the war from newspapers and radios. Writing the book in informational facts. The first chapter is entitled “History of Hatred.” It describes the horrible conditions Jews had to endure prior to the date January of 1933, Hitler comes to power. It also explains how the Jews were enslaved

The passage of Scripture being discussed in the following paper is Daniel 7:1-14. This chapter consists of three literary sections, first, chaos by the sea (7:1-8) followed by the heavenly courtroom (7:9-14), concluding with the visions divine victory and interpretation (7:15-28) which will not be addressed in this paper. The Christian canon locates the book of Daniel within its prophetic writings, however, the Jewish canon includes it within, “the Writings.” The book of Daniel doesn’t necessarily fit in either category, as it is widely considered within the literary category of apocalyptic literature which the subsequent sections of this paper will explore further. Daniel can be divided into three sections, based on language: a Hebrew introduction (Ch. 1); an Aramaic section (Ch. 2-7); and a Hebrew section (Ch. 8-12). Within these three language divisions exist two literary sections, first, the Tales (Ch. 1-6) followed by the Visions (Ch. 7-12). These two sections, though existing within the language divisions appear to have no corresponding connection.

Daniel has much written in it about prophecy that correlates with the End Times prophecy in the book of Revelations. Daniel 9, in particular, talks a great deal about the seven years’ tribulation, otherwise known as the prophecy of seventy weeks. Daniel 9:20-23 says, “And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God …the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, …informed me, …I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.” Daniel has already learned that Jeremiah’s prediction that Jerusalem would become and then continue to be stark and dismal for seventy years.
