Suddenly my eyes flew open, the coldness slowly lingered away. My body felt warm. Almost as warm as how my mouth felt the last time I had sipped on my grandmother's tea. My grandmother always told me to have faith and to believe in the end everything would be alright. I felt the frigid saltwater against my skin. “Where am I?” I thought to myself. I couldn’t quite recall what had happened nor where I was. All that I could recall was hearing screams of innocent children and parents trying to comfort

Dachau was the first concentration camp ever built by the Nazis. It was built on March 30, 1933, 10 miles away from Munich. In the beginning of the The Third Reich, Dachau was built to hold the political prisoners. As the years went by there were Jews, and later on there were more people brought in from different countries and races. When Dachau built new buildings it could have fit 5,000 prisoners. By 1938 Dachau was finished, it had 32 barracks and was able to fit in 6,000 prisoners. There was seven watch towers around the camp, along with electrical fences. Later in 1942 Dachau built gas chambers.

Hello my name is Anne, my father just found me this diary for me to wright in all the stuff that happens in my life. A lot of stuff is happening in Auschwitz Germany because of this Jew thing that is going around they made me turn in my bike and I had to be transported to this other school just for Jews. Father said that we are going into hiding i'm not really sure where bit he said some thing about his old place he used to work at.

It’s my first time Im writing in this diary. Here's what happened to me and my faimly. It’s been a tough time. I’ve had to deal with many horrific situations, but I got through it. Not many people made it through the Holocaust. It was really hard for me as a jew myself, there were times I thought I would never make it through. But I surprisingly I did make it, but my family did not. I had two younger brothers named Markus and William. William was 8 and Markus 10. I as the older sister was supposed to protect them, help them, and stop them from getting hurt. But I couldn’t save them, I did all I could but couldn't help them. As on to my parents, I had a mom named Martha and a dad named Aron. He was named after his great, great grandfather.

Everyday is a risk now. All we do is hide and try so hard not to get caught. But sometimes i just feel like there’s no hope and we’d get caught. Mom tries to comfort us by saying “it’s gonna be ok everything will be fine”. Me and oliver go along of what she’s saying so we don’t make her think more about the possibility of losing us.

There was a particular Friday in February the year I was in the third grade that had me out in the snow a little bit longer than I had intended. The bus ride home was prolonged due to all of the ice on the roads and I was pretty anxious to get inside where I knew there would be a set of warm pajamas waiting for me. When I finally reached my stop, unfortunately the last one on the route, I ran as fast as my snow boot clad feet could take me. However when I arrived at the front door of my home there didn't seem to be anyone there who wanted to let me in. I knocked and knocked but there was never an answer. Determined to get inside and somewhat in denial that this was happening to me, someone who just wanted to get to a nice mug of hot chocolate, I started my way to the back door.

Throughout history, there have been dark moments that have stained the stories of civilizations. Whether it is a natural disaster, war or disaster at the hands of a leader, events change the way that we interpret history. Without question, one of the darkest periods in history was put into effect by the Nazi’s during World War II. The Holocaust was the systematic killing of over six million Jews. The Holocaust has been the topic of many books and has been explored from many different viewpoints. It has been studied from a historical perspective for the Germans and the Allied forces; Hitler and the Third Reich as well as, firsthand accounts from survivors of the horrific death camps. Some of the greatest books of our time are the stories of survival. The Diary of Anne Frank, a well-known story of survival, is one of the most read books of all time. I Shall Bear Witness: A diary of the Nazi years, by Viktor Klemperer, is the story of Viktor and Eva Klemperer living during the reign of Hitler and the Third Reich. The diary describes that not all Germans believed in Hitler’s plan. The book follows Klemperer from the time Hitler came in to power as chancellor in 1933 until 1941, three years into the war. I will examine two themes that are presented in the book; the Klemperer’s survival strategies and Viktor’s understanding of his “German-ness”.

My answer would be no to the Nazi soldier. I would stand on this firmly because I am faced with a dilemma I have some norms that are clearly colliding here and I have some law that I am breaking not only biblically but the laws of the land as well. So, as I think of Moses in Exodus with the commandments and I think of Paul and Pete telling me to obey the local authority I am going to lie to the Nazi soldier. I am lying to him because I am preserving life and that is much higher than to tell the truth on the theory of hierarchicalism, even before reading about these theories that would have been my answer. There are countless examples in the bible where godly people have lied in order to protect or for some other good. I am saying lying is

I could already feel the heat of the sun on my big fluffy jacket. I slowly took my fluffy jacket off. I already new that the sun can out and all the kids locked me out, not telling the teacher. I leaned on the warm jackets that were being heated be the nice warm sun. Soon as i just got in a comfortable in the warmness of the other heated jackets I just started to feel the warmness slowly go away. Then I heard a door close very fastly. I suddenly heard little cries of children from far away.

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,

How is everything down there? I can say that down here things are getting better. We won the British in the Saratoga battle today. It is mainly a battle where we had the opportunity to stop the British various times and got them to surrender. You will probably will be jumping with me as I was when I noticed that we were steps and steps closer to getting our freedom. We would not have been able to do that if it was not for the commitment and hope that our leaders have in us. We are finally able to say and hear that the British’s plan to cut us off has failed.

The morning sunshine seeped through the cracks between my shutters, lighting up my room. I could hear the clock ticking and the rays of sunlight bouncing off of my eyelids. I barely got any sleep last night because I was ecstatic that tomorrow was, my birthday! I jumped up out of bed, how could I have forgotten that it was my birthday? Suddenly all of my drowsiness turned it into excitement and I jumped up, throwing the red gradient quilt off of my bed. I slowly walked out of my room, making very little noise, checking to see if anyone else was awake. I peeked through the intricate staircase railings and tried to spot anyone downstairs, no one was in sight. I tiptoed down the cream coloured stairs, reached the bottom and got startled when my mom yelled, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!”, her voice bouncing off the walls of house. A grin so big spread across my face, I couldn’t believe I was turning four years old!
