In the selection, “Isabella Katz And the Holocaust: A Living Testimony”, by Richard L. Greaves, the author tells about the Holocaust, the destruction of the Jews by the Nazis and the terrible experiences of people who were there.

The book also shows the hardships people face while trying to the right thing in a place ruled by fear with an iron fist; being brought out with the brutality and hatred the Nazis showed toward the prisoners in both the Jails and the Concentration camps. The book also shows the importance of doing the right thing, even if you have to break the rules a little.

Initially upon reading this book, I found it to be very strange. The progression of the story doesn’t follow an exactly linear path and the narrator often digresses and goes in circles. This makes the story very hard to follow in the beginning. However once I had adjusted to this style of writing, I found the book to be quite interesting. Despite the fact that this story is about war, it manages to be humorous at times, and all of the characters are well written despite the fact that they were very exaggerated. This story caused me to actually react emotionally at several points, especially at points when certain characters like Mcwatt or Nately died in such tragic ways. I remained interested in the story the entire way through, and was only disappointed by the fact that not a single character who acted and an antagonist was punished in any way.

While it may seem useless for one person in every hundred to resist, if those two in two hundred people work together to cause damage to the Nazi system, it could just make that much of a difference. While there were many resistance efforts in the Holocaust that made a difference none were as tragic as Anna Heilman’s. Anna was born into a middle class Jewish family to two deaf parents, although all of their children had normal hearing. Anna and her family lived in what would later become the Warsaw ghetto after the Nazi invasion of Poland. Her family was one of the last to be sent to Maidanek where her parents were killed immediately

Being forced to sit in a cold dark interrogation room of the prison, Verity or better known as Julie was a trapped prisoner made to write codes. Verity was a Scottish spy taken in by the Nazis getting fed very little and sleeping none. Verity wrote the entire thing the Nazis asked her to write but, she wrote them in a story told from her friend Maddie’s point of view. As her time was over, she went to a real concentration camp then part two came in and Maddie was alive. Maddie was on a determined to find her best friend Julie (Verity) but then it just went all downhill. In “Code Name Verity,” Elizabeth Wein creates a historical fictional piece taking place in France, Julie (Verity) showed her real self and let secrets out she was guile, gritty, apprehensive, bitter, and mischievous illustrates the real smart “alec” Julie (Verity).

“‘KISS ME, HARDY! Kiss me, QUICK!’ Turned her face away from me to make it easier. And I shot her” (Wein 285), desperately yelled Jullie in Elizabeth Wein’s book, Code Name Verity.
