Irena Sendler Research Paper

The Germans were deporting 5 to 10 thousand Jews a day at the Umschlagplatz. Were the Jews would be tightly packed in cattle cars and shipped off to death camps like treblinka were they would be sent to labor or the gas chambers were you executed. Death camps would try to hide what’s really going on. The death camps would say turn in all your valuables so you can be delouced but what they really are doing is sending you to your death.People that are war profiteers would sell some of the valuables that were collected at the death camps. So Irena was terrified when they started deportation she was afraid that all the kids that she put in the orphanage in the ghetto. Several days after wards there was tremence fire fights that broke out all over the ghetto. So Irena sprung into action thinking that the Germans would be distracted from all the fighting so that Irena can smuggle more Jewish kids into the Aryan side. Irena looked at danger straight in the face and smuggled kids through the sewer. Once the Nazi got wind of people smuggling Jews through the sewer they started putting posing the sewers so in anybody went down there they would die. That day Irena smuggled almost 200 kids throughout these

Yet those who did not accept their fate, took control of their own destiny during the Holocaust. These heroic individuals never had indifferences and took matters into their own hands. Three teens know as “The White Rose” decided to spread the word of possible “freedom by creating and distributing pamphlet”(“PROTEST OF YOUTH”). Yet upon the guards discovering of their plans, they were sentenced to death for their crime they have done. This correlates to Wiesel speech which all “gave into indifferences” including his own “God”(The Perils of Indifference). With no form of guidance and hope driven from others to show human emotion, the teen’s came to the realization that the only way they may be able to stand a chance seeing freedom from the camp was herself. Thus, with the knowledge of the teens fate, we must come to a understandment that to see hope for a future world without indifferences.We must learn showing a helping hand in signs genocide such as the holocaust and not wait.

Her and Pola were best friend they talked a lot about their dreams in life. After she had been living with Pola for a while someone told the germans that a Jewish girl had been staying there. Pola’s uncle was there at the time when German officers came and told Sima to run but Sima had very quick reflexes and grabbed a hoe to act like she was going to work into the field. The officer though she was German and asked her about if a Jew was working there. Polas husband let the German and Polish officers to come in the dining room and he told them that he was a rich farmer that he would never risk hiding a Jew. After they left Sima new it was unsafe for her to live there so she left. She ended up getting married and being a nanny to a family of five.

In 1939, Germany began to invade a few countries, and in 1940, the Tripartite Pact, unifying Germany, Japan, and Italy, was signed. Also in 1940, Holland was invaded, which is where the inspirational story of Anne Frank comes in. Though only one of over 1.5 million children killed during the Holocaust, her story is one that we can all relate to. She is the same age as many of the students that should be taught about the Holocaust, and her age is not her only aspect that we can relate to. Over 30 million copies have been sold, and she has touched the lives of millions of poeple by teaching us the sheer terror they wer licing in, the isolation, and the desperate longing for the war to be over.

Stefania Podgorska was born in 1923. She grew up in a small village in Poland, was born into a catholic family, and was the third youngest of nine. At the age of fourteen, she then moved to Przemysl for work and met a Jewish man named Joe who later became her husband. When the war first started Joe and his brothers were sent to the ghetto but because Stefania wasn't a Jew she was able to stay in town and keep her apartment. Later Podgorska heard that the SS was going to empty the ghetto soon. She knew she had to do something in order to save any Jews she possibly can. Although it wasn't easy, she moved to a bigger apartment and hid thirteen Jews in her attic for about two winters.

The Holocaust was a devastating genocide that killed about six million people. It is commonly believed that the nazis targeted only Jews, however they also targeted Gypsies, Poles and other Slavs, people with physical or mental disabilities, Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexuals, the dissenting clergy, Communists, Socialists, asocials, and other political enemies. Many righteous gentiles include brave individuals such as: Miep Gies, Stefania Podgorska, Raoul Wallenberg, Chiune Sempo Sugihara, Oskar Schindler, and Johann George Elser, who tried to assassinate Hitler; as well as many groups including: The European Union, The White Rose, The Solf Circle, The Catholic Church, The Rosenstrasse Protest, Kreisau Circle, and Red Orchestra.

Imagine being separated from your family when you’re only eight years old. Imagine spending seven months in a 4x6 hole in the ground while being chased by Nazis. This is what Lola Rein endured during the Holocaust.

In the opening chapter, Paul Baumer, the narrator, recalls how schoolteachers, such as his own, persuaded their bright-eyed students to put on the German colors. Paul’s teacher, Kantorek, taught his students the importance of the war as he instilled in them the values of nationalism and patriotism. Everyday, he sprouted war propaganda at them in “long lectures” (Remarque 11). He glamorized the war telling his students that they were “the Iron Youth” (Remarque 18) and that “duty to one’s country is the greatest thing” (Remarque 13). Consequently, his students left class enlisted in the war one by one “until the whole of the class went” (Remarque 11). When the students left the comforts of home to volunteer for the war, they valued their country above all else and were prepared to face their own death as doing so lined up with what they believed in.

After the World War II life did resume for Irena Sendler, but not in the same way. When she came out of hiding, after the war, she received some shame from people because she had aided the Jewish people. It wasn’t until about twenty years later that her work began receiving awards for her work. In 1965 she received righteous among the nations award from Yad Veshem in Jerusalem. Part of the reason people had not acknowledged what she had done right away was because the work was very secretive and it stayed that way after the war. Even though Sendler eventually received praise for her work she stayed very humble and wishes “[she] could have done more and this regret will follow [her] to death” (Sendler). In 1999 few people knew of Irena Sendler

Therefore, this film is not only a testimony about the German past but also the German present. It displays the irrational annihilation of six young Germans at the end of WWII, summoning up a very agonizing recollection of Nazi Germany’s futile effort to turn back the Allied invasion by hurling teenage boys into the
