Today is September 1st, 1939 in Holland. Right now I’m going to be writing a book, it is going to be really good. I wish it would be published so that lots of people could read it and enjoy it. Once I’m finished with my book I will lend a copy to my good friends the Franks. The Franks are, Otto Frank, Edith Frank, Margot Frank, and Anne Frank. So it’s 1:00 in the afternoon and while I was in the middle of writing my book I was interrupted by a loud, BANG! Then there were even more loud noises and I started to think that they were gunshots, so I looked at my window and i saw a Jew laying on the ground dead and next to him was a Nazi with a rifle. I quickly ran over to the Frank’s House to see if they heard the shots and they did. Every single one of us started wondering why they would kill Jews. We knew it was because of Adolf Hitler, he is in control of the Nazis. Everyday now for the past week there has been at least one killing of a Jew. I started to think that we were going to be in a war with the Germans. The next day seven Jews were shot and killed and lots of people were being taken to a place called Concentration Camps. It is a horrible place, they hardly feed you, it is just a complete disaster. The Franks are going into this hideout called the Secret Annex, the Secret Annex is hidden in Otto Frank’s business place. The Secret Annex entrance is covered by a moving bookshelf. Also I have to take care of my family too, my son and my husband. So everyday someone has
My book report is for A Night Divided by Jennifer A. Nielsen. I chose this book because it describes the life of a twelve year old girl during the Great Berlin Wall. This book is about a young girl named Greta who is separated from her father and brother because of the Berlin Wall. One day Greta gets a message from her father. She thinks he wants her to start digging a tunnel. Greta finds and old abandoned building where she starts digging. Greta and her brother Fritz work long, tireless, never-ending days digging. One day there was someone of the other side of the tunnel, it was Papa. Once the tunnel was completed they set through it, escaping the treacherous East side, to the colorful bright West.
Night by Elie Wiesel was one of the best books I have ever read. Night is the story about Elie’s horrible time spent in Auschwitz and Buna the death camps. This story impacted me the most because all of this is real. Elie’s mother and sister were murdered as soon as they arrived. The story goes on telling his unimaginable experiences with his father in 1944 during the Holocaust.
Ready Player One hits some of the same situations as in the holocaust or for the book that we read “Night” like taking people spread out over a good area and combining them into a small dense area. They both also touch on the topic of how when someone is killed or something is blown up now one raises an eyebrow or if they do no one does anything about it.
Only about 3,546,211 people survived the Holocaust. Adolf Hitler was the main leader of the Holocaust, he did this because of his discrimination of Jews. There were more than just Jews killed, there were gay people, priests, gypsies, people with mental or physical disabilities, communists, trade unionists, Jehovah’s Witnesses, anarchists, Poles and other Slavic peoples, and resistance fighters. The Holocaust happened between 1933 through 1945 in Germany and Poland. Night, is an autobiography written by Elie Wisel who was involved in the Holocaust. Auschwitz Death Camp, it is a video documentary of the death camp including Elie Wisel and Oprah Winfrey. The truth about the Holocaust to me is horrendous, all the torturing they had to go through
Night, by Elie Wiesel, is a story about a Jewish boy growing up during World War II. The main character in the book, Eliezer Wiesel, talks about the different experiences he had during World War II. He started off by talking about how everything was normal, and no one was too worried about the war that was going on. One man, Moishe the Beadle, was taken off to another country, and when he managed to get back, he warned everyone what would happened if they did not leave. A few people listened to him, but not Eliezer’s parents. A couple years later, when the war sounded like it was almost over, Germans entered the town that Eliezer’s family were living in. After this, the
No one likes being treated poorly. Throughout history, countless wars have been fought, whether they had a reason or not. Many people have suffered due to these wars. People have become POW’s (prisoners of war), have lost their homes because of the conflicts, and have even had to leave their homelands. Take this more relevant example in Syria, for example. Thousands of Syrians are leaving their households to escape the everlasting conflicts of war. Just like in history’s past wars, many civilians have been forced to leave their homes in order to stay safe. Modern and past wars seem to repeat themselves in a way. The theme of Elie Wiesel’s book Night is to show that through dehumanization, there is more silence, less faith, and an eternity of night.
In the beginning of the bible, the world was dark. Then God created light in order to make it brighter. However, when the God is not here to protect the light, Night overtook. It is a time of darkness. It is also a place where people cannot see and help each other. Because of the faith in God, the darkness, hopeless of Night, and the period of Night, Elle Wiesel’s famous short novel is called “Night”, which is very significant for Elle Wiesel as well as the Jews during World War II.
By Elie Wiesel In the book Night by Elie Wiesel, Wiesel portrays a horrific story of the holocaust and of his struggles, not to lose his faith while in the concentration camps. When Elie first started to learn his religion, he was thirteen, he didn’t know his place in the world and was too young to understand life. Throughout the story you see Elie questioning God and questioning his faith, as he endures punishment bye the hands of his oppressors. Elie is forced to grow up fast or die.
The book I’m reading is Night by Elie Wiesel. This book took place back in the Nazi days when Adolf Hitler was the ruler. The Nazi killed and punished the Jews for not obeying the rules or not believing in what Adolf Hitler believed in. Elie Wiesel was a regular young boy who wasn’t going for bad. He lived a normal childhood life until the Nazis started capturing the Jews and killing them. He was a young boy so he didn’t know what was going on at that moment.
With more people passed than survivors of the Holocaust, we rely on the survivors to give us insight on what the Holocaust was actually like. In the autobiography Night by Elie Wiesel, thousands of people learn true facts about what the torture and the pain was actually like for the ones who were unfortunate to suffer from this event in History. Elie gives specific and horrific examples of what he suffered and saw while he was at camp. Elie’s goal is to teach others the importance of human lives and why no human is replaceable and anyone is capable of doing anything. This book is highly recommended by myself, and many others such as: book reviewers, other authors, teachers, and students.
November 25, 1944 Soviet soldiers begin to approach the German area so Heinrich ordered for the destruction of Auschwitz. I felt relieved but I came to realize that I jumped the gun. The Nazis weren't freeing the Jews but getting rid of the evidence and they went through any means to do so. The Nazis made sure to kill anyone who couldn't pick up the slack either. I tried my best not to hurt anyone but I eventually was forced to. I have been nothing but helpless in this catastrophe and I am hurting more than I am helping. I sicken myself.
Remember the refrain: We always build on the past; the past always tries to stop us. Freedom is about stopping the past, but we have lost that ideal-Lawrence Lessig. This quote is helpful to remember. We should always keep our head in the present but never forget what happened in the past to bring us here today, and be grateful for our current status.The holocaust was an important event in the past that we shouldn’t forget. There are many stories, biographies and autobiographies written about it today. Night by Elie Wiesel, an autobiography about the holocaust, should be a required high school reading because it is an important event, of many, that show us why we should be grateful for our current state.
Night can be interpreted literally and figuratively because the night is a dark time just like it was for the Jews. Night is all they felt because the darkness overcame their lives. The darkness took a toll on all of the Jews during the holocaust. These people were beaten and tortured just because the Germans wanted to without reason.
