Role Of Euphemism In Passover Seder By Hannah Stern

I choose this book because anytime I have to read a nonfiction book, the only nonfiction books I can read and enjoy reading the book are about Holocaust for some reason. I’m not sure why though. I got it at the school library, and my friend Elaina recommend me to read this book. The title appealed to me because it

In The Devils Arithmetic, Hannah Stern is a Jewish teenage girl from New Rochelle, but when Hannah went to celebrate Passover with her family, she was chosen to open the door for the prophet Elijah, she traveled through time to Germany, around the time, 1939, (during the Holocaust.) where she is put in a concentration camp. She struggles to remember what she has

Do you know what happened in the holocaust? Hannah is a girl who at first hates her “stupid” religion. This young 16-year old’s attitude is very typical for most girls her age. Hannah from the “The Devil's Arithmetic”m has many experiences. Hannah values also change. She learns a lot too.

Imagine being a thirteen year old enjoying Passover with your family, until your transported to a Polish village in the year 1942. In the book The Devil’s Arithmetic by Jane Yolen there is a thirteen year old, Hannah, or known as Chaya by the people in the village. Hannah is confused why the people are calling her Chaya. During a wedding in the village she is captured along with everyone else. They are all taken to to a concentration camp.

The central idea of this book is a little girl and her struggle in concentration camps the author shows this by “ tomorrow is deportation”( Leitner 3) . This happened on May 28, 1944 where she started her journey in the camps. She explains her feelings and fairs of them too and how she's not ready to leave this place called home because she was living in hungary and she ends up having to move away. Something else that is showing Isabella’s struggle is ”Every since childhood,I remember them with terror in my heart.” (Isabella Leitner 5). In this quote she is talking about the people that heard them like cattle and stuff. This was also the people that would kill them and make them do horrible things.These were the people that didn't make them feel like people. “75 to a car... no toilets... no doctors ... no medication”( Leitner 7) Isabella is talking about how they were moved place to place in these little cattle cars and how horrible the conditions normally where. Imagine being shoved in

The memoir Night by Elie Wiesel showed me that people will use self-preservation in drastic times. Jews were friendly people who helped each other out before they went through the traumatic experience. Once in camp they became more reserved and started to think about themselves and only their survival, not caring who they had to pass through. In camp there were no friends and no

strange 1940’s world. Hannah soon realises that she’s in the time period of the Holocaust.

Together they formed the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. Although many Jews were lost their lives, the amount of Nazis that were killed made a point that Jews are not weak; instead they are just as human as every other person on the planet. The determination of the Jews brings out a theme of resilience in the novel. They are starved, beaten down, and mentally distressed but when they realize what is happening to their friends and family outside of the walls, they realize that they must stand up for their morals. As a group with a purpose, they have the courage and the ability to make a statement that changed the course of history

The main character’s name is Hannah from New Rochelle and she doesn’t want to go to her grandparents house for Seder. In both Nazis kill many of the Jews in the concentration camps and the Jews must also be separate from the opposite gender. Hannah tells the others stories about the future to give them hope. Some jews try to escape because they don’t want to live in the concentration camps any longer, but the escape fails and they get punished. In the book and the movie the Germans torture many Jews and leave them to die. Several of them tried to escape and live a better life. The only way to survive was to have hope.

60). What stands out to me is how the story progresses to where Elie meets the girl after the Holocaust and the girl explains how she forged to be a “Aryan” and worked as a laborer instead of a prisoner. I would want to strive to be similar to this girl during desperate situations such as the Holocaust. There was no mention of her family along with her and I really think that she is a very brave individual for achieving the necessary components for her survival along with having no family members to support her through those tough times. Even more, she risked her life speaking German with Elie (Wiesel. 61).

The men and women are separated, and put to work. There is a Commandant who hates them, and they are slowly killed off(The Devil’s Arithmetic) per commandant’s orders. Working daily, Hannah and her camp companions steal things such as scarves to get warmer during the frigid days and gelid nights. Some young men form a plan to escape, but of no avail, even when they change their course of action. Next, they are caught and killed in a merciless manner, as is expected of the horrendous Nazis, who are currently killing more Jews daily than ever, probably due to the fact that the Allies are winning the war. Soon after, Rivka(Hannah’s friend) is chosen to die, to Hannah responds by taking Rivka’s scarf and going in her place to be killed; when she arrives at the chamber, the mysterious power that has transported Hannah to a seemingly dream past grasps Hannah

The suffering of the Jews is so greatly intense that their faith in God becomes secondary. The Nazis successfully degraded the Jews by taking away from them their faithfulness in their religion and forcing them to only act according to the rules of authority, depriving them further of what was left of their individuality. Additionally, after going through the selection process and arriving in Auschwitz, the prisoners were forced to line up

The Diary of Anne Frank is a remarkably moving book about the short life of a young girl and her family. The Holocaust was a horrible time for Jewish people and Anne and her Jewish family’s lives were completely turned upside down as a result. The war resulted in the deaths of countless people, mostly innocent people. Before the invasion on D-day and the end of the war not too long after, the rest of the world didn’t know the real disaster going on over seas. Anne Frank’s once secret diary has introduced the immense suffering and horror that occurred during the Holocaust.

The setting of the book is in World War II where many people were forced to abandoned their homes because of the holocaust. Like Max, many Jews had to hide or be forced to concentration camps and leave their families. Liesel has to grow up in period of fear, hate, and guilt. An example of this is when Hans gives bread to a dying Jewish man and is beaten and called a Jew lover. This example illustrates why Jewish people had so much to fear.

The Holocaust becomes the center of this. Whether it be at his Hebrew school, where Jewish history shaped not only the curriculum they learn. But, also as a collective identity shared by a new and contemporary Jewish generation. While still being connected to the past. This is a struggle for Mark, who does not even identify himself as Jewish for most of the story, He is continuously challenged with where to place himself in this new world, as a second-generation immigrant to Toronto. For Mark, being a young Latvian Jew is not easy.
