How Does War Affect Lizzie's Life

Leona Tamarkin’s Dear Lizzie: Memoir of a Jewish Immigrant Woman showcases the experiences of Leona when she was a young girl and woman, growing up in World War I and the later on the Great Depression. Leona wrote this piece for her family, as a testament of the story that was so hard for her to describe verbally without being visibly shaken, as well as the young girl that she once was, and had to grow up too fast. This can be said for any child or young person at that time, but Leona’s experience is unique in respect to her being female. Her experience will be vastly different than that of a young man in Eastern Europe, who is more than likely fighting on the front lines. Or that of a young boy or older man, trying to hold their homes together while the soldiers are away.

Frank 's memoir explores a lot about childhood till adolescent development. Out of the family relations Anne Frank had as well as her physical development in an extremely difficulty environment, one can effectively analyze her life in the context of several child development theorists and concepts (Frank, 1997, p. 45). Powerful as well as poignant diarisitic memoir, Anne Frank’s work during her time with her family hiding in a little attic when Amsterdam was under Nazi occupation in the 2nd World War is highly regarded globally. Although Anne 's diary is often considered as an important document of childhood growth as well as discovery of a teenage girl, it has had an enormous effect as a narrative which details the difficulties Jewish citizens faced under the Nazi Party amid the most horrible years of the 2nd World War. Her honest portrayal of time in hiding, placed against the background war, offers a straightforward view into the most tragic period of human history.

After reading The Children of Willesden Lane, one can see how Lisa Jura changes and grows throughout the many events. These include on Kristallnacht, the night of November 9-10, Nazi gangs attack Jews throughout Germany and Austria, on September 1st, Britain declares war on Germany, and when the German air force begins the massive bombing of Britain known as the Blitz. In these events, she learned lessons and teachings which encourage her growth within these events.

“That sounds fine with us,” everyone said in unison. For the next few months the two families would stay here, hiding from the Nazis, and hoping that they would not get caught. As the war waged on, the conditions of the attic became worse. Mrs. Johnson became very ill, and due to this, they needed supplies in order to keep her stable, which was difficult

“Inge Auerbacher was born December 31, 1934, in Kippenheim, Germany. Her parents were Berthold and Regena Auerbacher” (Children During the Holocaust). “Her father was a textile merchant and was also a German soldier during WWI” (Inge Auerbacher). Her life was quite peaceful until one night, November 9, 1938, when every single window in her house was broken. Her Mother, Grandmother, and herself all had to hide in their backyard, but her Father and Grandfather got brought to Dachau Concentration Camp. Once they got released, Inge’s family then moved in with their grandparents. Sadly, in 1942, there would be no way to avoid

Book Thief Author’s Craft Essay by Sydney Paunan World War II was one of the darkest periods of time in human history. This is a fact widely known and accepted by most people, and this era of history is studied very often in schools so the horrors of the past may be taught and not repeated. But how did this two-front war affect young German children? They were growing up in a wildly violent time whilst being told that the horrible crimes committed by their country were justified, though this view of the war is often overlooked. Though The Book Thief does not tell a true story, it is very possible that the events in the story were the reality for many young children growing up in Nazi Germany.

Personal recounts of events can be more insightful to the details and facts than what can be found in the average history textbook. Testament of Youth by Vera Brittain is one of these personal recounts. Her own story of her experience as a woman from Britain during World War I confirms previously known facts and brings new aspects into light. When Britain first entered there was a massive amount of support and volunteers to join the military. Both Vera’s brother and boyfriend were among the first to enlist.

In the opening remarks of the first chapter, Ernst Junger describes the idealistic origins of many of the soldiers called to action. Most of the soldiers drafted into the war were students and factory workers, all of whom lived a fairly sheltered life beforehand. Being drafted was seen as the adventure of a lifetime. They “shared a yearning for danger, for the experience of the extraordinary.” Much like his comrades, Junger had the same sense of adventure, seeing the war as merely a new challenge to conquer. After his first real experience with war however, his enthusiasm is quickly dashed. The harsh reality set in that this war was not, in fact, an adventure. Junger and the former schoolboys and craftsmen quickly learned that life in the trenches was a challenge of endurance. As the war persists, reality slowly sets in and Junger learns the true violent nature of the war and the constant threat of imminent danger through which he must persevere. Ernst Junger’s accounts in the memoir Storm of Steel show the reality of a soldier in World War I and the taxation of enduring such great trauma.

World War II was one of, if not, the most destructive conflict in all of human history. Over sixty million soldiers and civilians lost their lives due to the war. However, were lives the only thing lost in the war?. In the novel A Separate Peace, by John Knowles, Devon School offered the boys a place shielded by the war. When Leper Lepiller enlists in the army after watching a film about ski troops, a direct link was established between Devon School and the war. World War II suddenly became much more real than before.

99) Along with other narrators, Bromberg has “little to report about the next phase [1932 through the beginning of World War II] until they are directly affected by the war through military conscription or Allied bombing raids on their home town” (Bessel, p. 101). Herbert’s recurring theme is that “’Quiet’, ‘normal’ times, then, clearly leave behind few experiences that are imprinted on the memory and recalled in the narratives; ‘disturbed’, ‘bad’ times are filled with unique and extraordinary experiences, and come up at corresponding length in the life stories” (Bessel, p. 101).

World War I changed the landscape of Europe, particularly France, like no war had ever before. The memoir, A Life of Her Own, depicts the experiences of Emilie Carles, a politically active French women. The memoir depicts the country’s history throughout, not only World War I, but most of the 20th century. Carles brother, Joseph, was caught in a German Prisoner of War camp for a good portion of the war. While there, he would write to the Carles and documented the horrors of war. The article A Republic of Letters: The Epistolary Tradition in France during World War I accurately demonstrates the letters exchanged between Joseph and his family throughout the duration of the war. The French economy needed an influx of workers to cope with the departure of abled bodied men while the war took place. For example, The Carles had to sacrifice any leisure time they had to deal with losing another worker on the family farm. These workers were replaced by immigrants. The impact of these new laborers is documented in Workers in France during World War I. The story of Emilie Carles and her family was just one of many examples of families that were dismantled emotionally and economically due to World War I.

In 1796, Edward Jenner created the first vaccine, but his discovery was an accident. Even though his discovery was an accident, Jenner’s discovery had revolutionized the medical world, and since his discovery, many more vaccines have been created. These vaccines can be very beneficial, so people should get vaccinated because it prevents diseases, stops outbreaks, prevents isolation among people, and exceeds the risks associated with vaccines.
