Samuel Willenberg, the last survivor of Treblinka, the Nazi death camp where 875,000 people were murdered including his two sisters, has died in Israel at the age of 93. Treblinka is unlike other camps where some Jews were assigned to work before being killed. Nearly all Jews brought to Treblinka were immediately gassed. Usually only young men like Willenberg, who was 20 at the time were spared from immediate death and were told to work instead.
On August 2, 1943, a group of Jews stole weapons from the Nazi soldiers and shot down as much of the camp that they could. Hundreds ran but most were shot and killed or captured by villagers who returned them to Treblinka. Only 67 people were reported to surviving after fleeing from the camp. Willenburg
The person I am doing for my essay is Wesley Isenhour (my dad). He has a wife named Liane and two kids named Macy and Maddy. He works for the United States postal service and does reviews on post offices all around North Carolina. The reason I chose my dad is because he always makes people smile and makes everyone's day better. He is one of the best people in my life and is always there for me. I hope you enjoy my essay on Wesley Isenhour.

From July 1942 through November 1943, the Germans killed between 870,000 and 925,000 Jews at the killing center. Treblinka I, the forced-labor camp, continued operations until late July 1944. While the killing center was in operation, some of the arriving Jews were selected and transferred to Treblinka I, while Jews too weak to work at Treblinka I were periodically sent to Treblinka II to be killed. During late July 1944, with Soviet troops moving into the area, the camp authorities and the Trawniki-trained guards shot the remaining Jewish prisoners, between 300 and 700, and hastily dismantled and evacuated the camp. Soviet troops overran the site of both labor camp and killing center during the last week of July

A reader can gain much knowledge from just one book. Willa cather is an amazing authors that can transform the way you think , and your outlook on the subject. Williams states, “ The early years of young Willa's life left a memorable impression on her and formed the basis for many of her stories and characters. The Cathers travelled west across six states landing in Nebraska, Webster county, in 1883 to live at her paternal grandfather's farm” In “My Antonia” by Willa Cather, is one of America’s great love stories. Her main characters face challenges but yet still find a way to live. Also by Willa Cather, “A Wagner Matinee” is also a very informational text. In this piece, A woman leaves her home and sees what she is missing in life. SHe realises the grass is greener on the other side, and never wants to go back. The three things that I learned about the West from Willa Cather's “My Antonia” and “A Wagner Matinee” are beauty is in the eye of the beholder, change is a good thing, and love is eternal.

Well-known for her detailed works about life in the frontier like, ‘O Pioneer’ or ‘The Song of Lark’, Willa Cather thrives in illustrating Nebraskan life in her novels. Arguably one of her best works, is the novel ‘My Antonia’ published in 1918 (Jewell). The novel holds elements of romanticism such as the glorification of nature and the frontier, and hints of nostalgia. Willa Cather’s work is a great example of some of the lesser used elements of romanticism in American literature.
The field of voicework is a manifold craft, comprised of such occupations as narrator, voice actor, and radio announcer. These occupations vary in their responsibilities and purposes, yet all share a common component that lies central to their accomplishment. Voice. In particular, a warm and confident voice. In the year of 2011 one such voice was found in a most unlikely place. It was in January of that year that a seemingly innocuous video was filmed and posted on the internet. The subject of that video was one Ted Williams who, at the time, was bereft of a home. Williams was possessed of a noticeably deep and striking voice which soon led to an explosion of popularity centered around the video itself. With this popularity came a recognition of talent, and soon enough he had found himself afloat in a proverbial sea of opportunity.
