How Did Rosa Survive The Holocaust

Some of the people on the cart thought she was going crazy, because they couldn't seem to see the fires at all. I think that one of the reasons that people in the cart didn’t want to believer her was, because she had gone soulful after she had been separated from her husband. All she would do is sit in the corner of the cart and cry and moan and wasn't able to control it at all. When they had finally got to Auschwitz

The guards needed to make more room in the camp for new workers they were receiving that day. The guard decided that Rivkah would be one of the Jews executed. Chaya put on Rivkah’s cap in order to fool the guards. I think that during the Holocaust the Nazi guards were attentive and would have noticed the difference between Chaya and Rivkah and decided to put them both to death. Although, I think this happened in this particular film in order to successfully finish the plot.

The Holocaust was the attempt by the Nazi regime to systematically exterminate the European Jewish race during World War II. The Holocaust was a reference to the murder of around six million Jews and other minority groups such as homosexuals, gypsies and the disabled (Wiesel, 2008).

Now even though Anne Frank and Gerda Klein were different people and they had different personalities, their lives had things in common. For example, They were both taking to a concentration camp and they were both planning what they were going to do once they were saved. They both had high hopes for their future, like Anne wanted to be a great writer who would be remembered even after she died. Both of their friends either died or were killed at the concentration camp. They were both surviving on little or no food for years. Gerda was a human skeleton when she was found by the american soldiers. These were just a few of the major similarities that I found.

Miriam Korber and Alice Ehrmann have many similarities as far as their experiences during the Holocaust. They both see unthinkable horrors in the form of “hunger, cold, illness, filth, death, humiliation, and despair” (Korber 245). Unlike the six million Jews killed by the Holocaust, Alice and Miriam both survive, which led me to examine how their different experiences and personalities help them survive. They both face their emotions directly and use their diaries to vent which may be part of the reason they survive. On the other hand, Anne Frank always has hope and is naive to some of the horrors that others are experiencing. In this horrible time Anne Frank has privilege compared to Miriam and Alice who don’t have a support system or

The Jews cried silently because they had been broken. They were humiliated, stripped, and objectified. IV. Comparison Sara Nomberg-Przytyk’s Auschwitz reminded me of The Diary of Anne Frank. Though both novels take place during WWII, Sara experienced being imprisoned in a Nazi concentration camp for majority of the war.

Officers took them and two of the helpers away, the Jews to concentration camps, helpers to be interrogated. Though they had been captured, Anne was actually feeling joyful to be outdoors once again. All eight were taken to Westerbork, where Anne, always social, made friends. Otto was separated from his family, though they were still able to see each other in the evenings. Then, all were sent to the infamous Auschwitz. Here, Otto saw his daughters for the last time, before they were seperated. For once, Anne was silent. Anne and Margot were selected to go on to Bergen-Belsen, but Edith was considered to old to continue on. She was devastated as she watched her children leave. At this point, Anne’s relationship with her mom was much stronger than what it had been it the annex. After their arrival at Bergen-Belsen, they found Anne’s old friends from Westerbork, and celebrated many holidays with each other, trying not to remember they had lost family. Later on, Anne found a friend she knew even before going into the annex, who threw extra food to her. Life surely wasn’t good, but Anne was okay now that she had her friends and sister, some extra food, and hope that the war was ending soon. Suddenly, Margot had become sick and Anne refused to be without her, so they both went to the sick bay. Soon, they

The holocaust is also known as the Shoah. It was a genocide in which Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany and its collaborators killed at least about six million Jews and the victim comprised are 1.5 children and represent about two-thirds of the nine million Jews who has raised in Europe. Some definitions of the Holocaust take account of the additional five million none Jewish victims of Nazi mass killings, bringing the total to about 11 million. Murders took place throughout Nazi Germany and German occupied territories.

The holocaust was the systematic killing of over 6 million Jews by the Nazis and their partners. Although many Jews were killed, many were also able to survive the gruesome times ahead of them, such as the Brichta Family and the Grossman Family.

The soldiers do not feel any remorse, or pity for any of the prisoners, seeing them all as if they are not human beings. The German soldiers do anything to the prisoners if it means that they will get their way. They will yell at them, brutally abuse them, and kill them if it means that they will get what they want. The soldiers have no regard for the Jews only hatred towards them, which is shown through the treatment they are given. This process that Sarah went through at the camp is the exact same process real prisoners during the War went through: “Before letting any of the prisoners go anywhere either to the doctor, gas chamber, or barracks they were searched and stripped of all of their personal belongings” (“Holocaust”). When Jewish people were sent to the concentration camps, upon arrival they were searched and all of their personal belongings were taken, exactly how Sarah witnesses it first hand. Sarah and her family experience true historic events that real life people had actually experienced themselves, making the novel more than just a

That made living in hiding different for them was there break small amount of food offered for them. Because they couldn't leave the annex mr. crawler and me but food for them all. Mr. crawler and meet word generous people who were helping them through the Holocaust. The small portions of food where a struggle for them because everyone was always hungry and they didn't know when the next time they could receive more food. Also it was different because there was no sunlight right except for one room and limited water and there hygiene was not the greatest. While living in the Secret Annex they were stolen from all of their freedom. They had a hard time celebrating for holidays because if they were too loud they fear somebody would hear them. these tough times but they down fall because they could not represent what they believed in. they were labeled and ordered to be put to work or die just because they were Jewish. Life in the annex got boring at times especially for the young teenagers because they were deprived of their personalities and their Hobbies. The hardest thing that came up on the family Fallen hiding was the fact that they didn't know what would happen to them at any minute somebody could give them up. They were locked away in a room unknowing of what could happen to them all they knew what was inside of that room and what was on the

How Krystyna got out was that she sneaked into the sewer with her family. Also Krystyna lived in the sewer for 14 months. The way Pavel got out of the ghetto was he died.

In the play, Anne, a thirteen year old girl, had to pack up her stuff and go into hiding. She did not get to say goodbye to her friends and everything she used to take for granted was restricted, all because she was Jewish. “You could not do this and you could not do that. They forced Father out of his business. We had to wear yellow stars. I had to turn in my bike. I couldn't go to Dutch school anymore. I couldn't go to the movies, or ride in an automobile, or even on a streetcar, and a million other things.” This provides a list of some of the many things that Anne can't do, which proved hard for her because she was such an outgoing and bubbly. Bruno, an eight year old boy, had to pick up his entire life and move to a home near one of the concentration camp. Bruno had no friends to play with and nobody to help him understand what was going on. Both kids had to deal with not completely understanding what was happening to them. Anne had the cusp of her teenage life ripped from her grasp because of problems out of her control. Bruno didn't get to enjoy his childhood because of the war. Though neither child was at fault, both lives were dramatically impacted by the war and the choices of other's. In this way Anne and Bruno were very much alike, taken from their home and forced to be isolated from the rest of the

Within the time period of the Holocaust, Jews would have to face many hardships like death, and being captured and led to a concentration camp. Daily, the Nazis traced each hidden Jew and hunted down each fugitive as well as constantly murdering them. Victims of the Holocaust suffered more than anyone should ever be put to, putting daily life in an unlivable state. (Boas 176). Although Anne was in hiding and did not have to experience the pain of actually being captured, she lived in the Secret Annex with a fear of being captured everyday. This fear was very similar to what Jews constantly felt. Not to mention the Ghettos, which had revolting living conditions (The Ghettos). Day to day life was changed dramatically during these harsh times, and people had to adjust to

Rosa Luxemburg was a revolutionary and agitator in Germany during the late 19th century. At an early age, she already displayed a high intelligence and an interest in politics. Her own desire for freedom from the inequalities linked to gender, poverty, and racism. Seeing such disparities fueled her desire to join the Socialist movement so that she could work to enact change. Kate Evans, a cartoonist and artist depicts Luxemburg’s activism in the graphic biography, Red Rosa. Throughout Red Rosa, Luxemburg is portrayed with a longing for something more—freedom not only for herself, but for others. Evans examines how Luxemburg’s desire for better conditions and activism in the socialist movement mirrors the universal desire of those in oppression for liberation from the injustices done to them. Luxemburg’s story also provides an inequality is fought against fight for the socialist movement. Inequality forces people to long for freedom and the many rights that accompany the privilege. Evans uses symbolism and imagery to convey the inequality and prejudice the Jewish people faced in Germany and how that leads to people yearning for freedom and rights.
