The Holocaust affected people mentally and emotionally, but some success in advanced technology came out of their retainment. In particular, Curta Herzstark and his talents in designing a mechanical calculator that would help him survive one of the darkest moments in world history is just one of many.
To give a brief overview of Mr. Herzstark, my short story is for those who are ready to geek out, while leaving them skeptical of what the calculator looks like and its functions. Knowing that my intended audience may be heavily influenced by history, it was my goal to include a bit of background information on who Curta was and his path towards success. Writing a short story meant finding ways to condense my information into one paragraph by summarizing important events.
As one may wonder about the Curta calculator, those involved in technology can really see the way that mechanics and mechanical design heavily influenced the model. I wanted to include an adult size hand that way my audience could get a sense of its compact design. The image allowed color to create emotional attachment to history and to depict its great features. It also gives great character to my short story.
Now that my article and image have got the attention, a friend interested in background research - regarding past technological advancements - is very

Depending on my audience, one piece may be more appealing than another and that is why I saw the need to include a drawing and different forms of writing. I also learned that some audiences won’t appear until you have reached out to the general public. For example, my friend wouldn’t have emailed me about her interests in learning more if I hadn’t put up my short story. All this ties in with future writing assignments because it is always important to target a specific audience and make sure that the content fits the
When Irene Safran was only twenty-one years old, her carefree life ended in the face of the Holocaust. Born to two Jewish parents as one of ten children-- four girls and six boys in all-- in Munkachevo, Czechoslovakia around the year 1923, her world changed in early April 1944 when she and her family were transferred to a Jewish ghetto. For the next year, Irene's life was a series of deaths, losses, and humiliations no human should ever have to suffer, culminating, years later, with a triumphant ending. Her story is proof that the human spirit can triumph over all manner of adversity and evil.
The first piece of writing was called “Two Questions” by Lynda Barry. The visual story is about a girl who finds it hard to make quality stories like she uses to. She gets very stressed out and overwhelmed. She feels that people negatively judge when she makes a “bad” writing piece. So, she stops. Then, one day she feels that she wants to start writing and drawing again. She then realizes that its okay to become stressed out by writing and that it's apart of the process. With that in mind she embraces it and gets her writing mojo back. I think that the visual story tries to convey the theme of never giving up on writing. This story speaks clearly to confused English students.
Fritz Haber was a Jewish scientist that used his knowledge of science in ways that effected our world. He led the push for inventing chemicals that he thought would be beneficial for Germany to use during WWI. He is known as the “father of chemical warfare”, “scientist of death” or the “immoral scientist” due to the tremendous amount of pain, suffering and death that he caused. Haber’s immense sense of nationalism led him to making many ambiguous decisions. The long-term effects of Haber’s inventions were negative and many people lost their lives because of him.
Both the Stanford and Holocaust experiments are psychological experiments that were conducted in order to realize the behavior of the prisoners and the prison guards when they are in prison and the kind of psychological and physical treatments that the guards offer to the prisoners. The Stanford prison experiment took place in the year 1971. In this experiment young men were used whereby, they were divided into the roles if the guards and the prisoners. Both were put in an environment that resembles a prison at Stanford of university.
The Holocaust, where over 6 million people mostly Jewish died in concentration camps. Inside the camps, people underwent inhumane experiments in the name of scientific research. However, the Nazis discovered ways to help society and the future.
A laissez faire, only certain heroes seemed to break through the continuous flow of hatred which was a main factor that inspired the Holocaust. Out of that select group was a hero named Witold Pilecki, also known for volunteering himself into the barbaric camp known as Auschwitz. Ever since Witold Pilecki was born he had a fierce sense of justice to those who deserved it, hence why he devoted his life to becoming a soldier. Finally, Witold was presented with an importunity he thought he wouldn’t regret; it was to offer himself up to the evil and learn about what was going on inside the infamous camp Auschwitz. Once Witold entered into the prison all he had to do was observe and report anything/or secrets behind the barbed wire, though, his superior officers were not prepared for what was in store after they read Witold’s witnessed cases.
A: This paper will address the question How accurate is the depiction of the 'holocaust’' in the film 'the schindler list? This topic arouse my attention because the second world war is one of the most famous events in history and there are a lot of movies about that but most of them are inaccurate and the only thing they do is create false facts. Also I want to analyse this story because every time we learn something about the second world war we learn how people got killed or massacred this is a story about how people were saved. The report from a legitimate source to have a point of comparison between the movie and the real life facts use this source to investigate this with an evaluation of their purpose, origins, values and limitations. I then go to analyze the movie “the Schindler's list”, and then evaluate and analyze until what point makes a good source of information of the holocaust.
Gas chambers and bombers dot the imagination when one thinks of Holocaust science, as do lies. The rise of pseudoscience marked the intellectual period in German science that in part led to the Holocaust. Villainous figures such as Nazi scientist Josef Mengele exemplify the method in which Nazis masked racist propaganda under the veil of ethos of scientists. However, during the period where fake science was so prominent, real discoveries were also being utilized and ignored in Germany, and thus it must be concluded that it was through both pseudoscience and the availability of new technology that the Nazis executed their infamous genocide.
In September of 2008, I received my 6th grade school supply list. As I read through the list, I noticed that it consisted of some basic school supplies that I needed for previous years such as notebooks, pencils and pens. When I reached the bottom of the list I noticed something that I didn’t recognize from my previous supply lists; a TI-84 calculator for my Algebra 1 class. I purchased the calculator the next day and I have been using it for every math class that I’ve had since then. Although many people may view a TI-84 calculator as just an instrument that can be used to help them do math problems, it serves many other purposes and they will be discussed throughout this
Without technology, the Nazis would have never ever been able to even pull off the Holocaust, let alone start the entire war. The Nazis use of technology in transportation, chemical use, which also lead to experimentation, heavily helped them into making the Holocaust a success. Without the usage of either technology, implementing the Holocaust would have been a tougher task.

The purpose of this interview is to distinguish the learning between a high school student of today’s date with a student back in 80’s. The methods we use today for our math solving problem is very different as we rely more on calculators. Does it really going to help us remember it after almost 15 years from today? Will we be able to solve a math problem without a calculator use? I also wanted to analyze the misconception that both groups had regarding decimal division and multiplication.
I was really fond of the symbolism in this project, and that is partially why I decided to do it. The other reasons were that I did not think a painting, drawing, or any other sort of two-dimensional art form could really encapsulate what I wanted to represent, especially since I wouldn’t know how to show these ideas on paper.
Storytelling has been both a form of entertainment and expression for a large portion of human history. Storytelling has become a massive part of our culture and with that has evolved more and more into a true form of art. Just like paintings and drawings have intricacies that make them truly unique such as texture, contrast, density, and the like, storytelling has elements that are necessary in perfecting the art. Perhaps the three most important, as demonstrated by Tim O’Brien in The Things They Carried, are the ability to keep the audience engaged, spark the audience's curiosity, and give great attention to detail.
