Holocaust Choices: The Book Thief By Hans Hubermann

Mrs.Frank and Margot are both related to Anne Frank and lived in the annex with her. They both had courage, compassion, and they had a little sacrifice.

We have learned many different things relating tot he Holocaust. The first thing is Hitler's Rise to Power. Hitler was a powerful and convincing speaker. He attracted lots of German's, especially unemployed people, young people, and lower middle class people that wanted change. In January 1933, Hitler was assigned to be head of the German government. Adolf Hitler's party was called The National

The Author came out with a strong out look on the situation of Anne Franks Development. Anne Frank was a little girl who lived in Amsterdam with her Father, they lived a normal life until the Holocaust took place and for forced Anne into hiding. Sadly the Nazis found out about the Franks hiding and who they were staying with, Otto Frank was they only one who survived. Anne Frank knew that she would even be living a sad and scary life. "Anne’s Voice. I expect I should be describing what it feels like to go into hiding. But I really don’t know yet myself. I only know it’s funny never to be able to go outdoors . .

Among the on million of the children killed was Anne Frank. Anne was a Jewish, teenage, girl who's family went into hiding. They stayed hidden for over two years in their Secret Annex. Over the course of these two years, she kept a dairy that has now been published. Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl had been translated into over 60 languages and is read and studdied world-wide. She began the dairy at age thirteen and wrote her last entree at age fifteen. The majority of her diary talks about her time spent in the Secret Annex which was the back part of a spice warehouse owned by her father previous to the Neurenburg Race Laws. The Franks lived with another family, the Van Dann's, and another man named Dussel. On August 4, 1944 German officers stormed the Annex and arrested all families. They were then taken to a transfer camp called Westerbork. They spent roughly one month there before being moved to Auschwitz, a consentration camp. Once off the train men, women, and childern were all separated. That was the last time Anne saw her Father, Mr. Van Dann, Dussel, or Peter. This is when the dehumanization began. People working the camps strped them of glasses, jewlery, shoes, and anything else that made them a individual. In addition to this the Nazi cut their hair and put them all in uniforms so tthey all looked the same. After anther month of

After a lot of the rules for the Jews were set, Gerda was sent to a hard labor camp. During the Holocaust Gerda weighed 68 pounds and she was almost 21 years old, she was overworked and not treated with any sort of respect. Gerda was very strong but was definitely not treated right Just because she was a Jew shouldn’t mean that she should have to go through all this, June 8th was the last day she saw her father which is hard enough and then she got taken away on June 9th which she was taken from her mother also so she was pretty much alone, also she was only 15 years old. When Hitler began his mass-murdering many families that were Jews had to go into hiding and in this case that is exactly what Anne’s family did. “...daddy began to talk of us going into hiding… “We don’t want our belongings to be seized by the Germans , but we certainly don’t want to fall into their clutches ourselves. So we shall disappear of our own accord and not wait until they come and fetch us.”” (Frank 12). Hitler has pushed many families into hiding because if they didn’t they would risk their lives even more of getting taken away and overworked or killed. None of the Jews were treated well and they all would eventually get taken to a concentration camp or the gas chambers unless they were left unfound in

The Holocaust was the systematic killing and extermination of millions of Jews and other Europeans by the German Nazi state between 1939 and 1945. Innocent Europeans were forced from their homes into concentration camps, executed violently, and used for medical experiments. The Nazis believed their acts against this innocent society were justified when hate was the motivating factor. The Holocaust illustrates the consequences of prejudice, racism, and stereotyping on a society. It forces societies to examine the responsibility and role of citizenship, in addition to approaching the powerful ramifications of indifference and inaction. (Holden Congressional Record). Despite the adverse treatment of the Jews, there are lessons that can be learned from the Holocaust: The Nazi’s rise to power could have been prevented, the act of genocide was influenced by hate, and the remembrance of the Holocaust is of the utmost importance for humanity.

The Holocaust in the eyes of historians all across the country reiterate the importance of the Holocaust. As the first mass genocide so major in a group of people, it’s relevance continues to make a stand. Taking place in 1933 all the way until 1945, the Holocaust changed so much in so little time. Amass, 5-6 million jewish people dying from either being worked to death for taken to gas chambers and killed quietly. Though nothing about the Holocaust was quiet, as it’s name and hitler's wishes were spread across germany in its time of need. An event short enough to be considered just a blip, tacts itself up as one the largest genocides in history. It begs the question among educators and parents alike, whether schools should be teaching the Holocaust. But, the Holocaust is something that cannot be left untaught. The Holocaust should be vocalized to students because they have a right to an education and because it boosts their understanding of society and forms them into better civilians. Also because the side effects of bias in classrooms

From the character of Adolf Hitler in The Book Thief, “Can you see that this enemy has found its ways -- its despicable ways -- through our armor, and that clearly, I cannot stand up here alone and fight him?” (254). To analyze this quote, Hitler is talking to the crowd about a Jew, Max Vandenburg, who he has just previously lost to in a boxing match. However, he is not just talking about Max Vandenburg; he is talking about all of the Jews in the world. Hitler believes that the Jews are too powerful to fight alone and thinks the entire German society needs to band together to defeat them. However, somewhere in the midst of the German society, some are in opposition to this thought. This small group of individuals is the one who stands up

Throughout The Book Thief, Max and Liesel’s friendship is developed amidst war and suffering. Given the circumstances of the time and Max’s background, they still manage to develop a special bond between the two of them. This is made evident several times in the novel including when Max gives Liesel the book, The Standover Man for her birthday. This story that Max writes himself defines the significance of their friendship, as he says in the story; ‘Now we are friends, this girl and me’. He illustrates and expresses his love and friendship with Liesel by comparing their dreams with each other as they

The Franks were a Jewish family who were living during the Holocaust. They went into hiding because Margot had gotten a letter and she was going to be taken away to a

The Holocaust was a very traumatic event in history. Every year in school from about middle school onward students learn specifically about Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party’s cruel treatment of the Jewish culture and people during World War II. The same general knowledge is given to us from middle school up until the ending our high school history careers. We are taught to believe that Adolf Hitler was a corrupt man, who sought control of Germany in the 1930’s. Even though we are given background information on this event, and there are things being told to us, no one knows what actually occurred during this time, except those who lived through it. In the book Night published by Elie Wiesel, he explains the things that happened to his family and the people in his community named Sighet before, during, and after the Holocaust. There is more than what meets the eye to this occurrence. No one sees the bigger picture when it comes to this event because of the fact that such a tragedy occurred in the first place. Although the Holocaust was a very unfortunate event, the Holocaust did benefit the United States in a plethora of different ways. Without the Holocaust, World War II would have never happened, and World War II brought countless positives attributes to America. A myriad of things came out of World War II. For example, women earned the right to attain jobs because of the war. Also, America became a global power due to the fact that the Allies (United States, Britain,

Everyone knows about the holocaust, but very few people truly understand the damages done and the extent of it. Since a detailed, first person account of the holocaust will teach us about history, Night is the most powerful book on the holocaust. It is the most important book because of its gresome detail, how the holocast got started, and how it shows the complete and total breakdown of a human thorugh the years.

Many people were hurt by Adolf Hitler's plans and one thing he achieved was killing six million Jewish people including children. Anne Frank and her family were one of them. They lived in a secret and tiny annex where Otto used to work. They started off just going to stay there for a few months till the Allied Forces could invade Holland but that didn’t work out. In the drama wrote by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett eight people crowded into annex for 2 long years not being able to go outside. Many historical events were impacted in the drama Anne Frank. Even though these problems took place outside of the secret annex it changed the mood and relationships of the character.

•The most famous book in the Holocaust was written by a 13 year old girl, and it has been read by 10 million people.

During the devastating time of World War II, a Jewish teenage girl wrote a diary about the gruesome events she witnessed, this diary was named, Diary of a Young Girl, Anne Frank. Anne Frank lived in Holland and went into hiding when her sister, Margot, got a letter to go to a reception camp. The Franks faced terrifying moments during hiding. They witnessed war outside their window and stayed in the same house without even going outside for about two years.To add on, the Franks had to keep in mind how every day they could be arrested or even die. Sadly Anne and her family are arrested and are sent to Auschwitz, a concentration camp where she would later die. While in hiding, the Franks and the Van Daans, who were also in hiding with them,
