Short Story Of Eliseo

In the story, the people believe that they're being sent on a vacation. They think while they're gone that the Nazis are going to rob them of their things. Little do the Jews know they are not going to be returning to their homes but that they are going to be sent to a concentration camp where they will fight to survive. This is quite the opposite of their idea of a vacation.

Elli, her mother and all of the prisoners they meet all have to undergo numerous physical and psychological hardships when they are forced into the concentration camps. They are treated like cattle on their way to the slaughterhouse when they are taken from their houses to the ghetto, then to the synagogue, and eventually to Auschwitz, the death camp.

Soon after Eliezer and his family were shipped out of their hometown they were being separated, men went to the left and women went to the right. Eliezer soon found out that he would never see his mom and sister again. Then as they continued on their journey to Auschwitz, Eliezer witnessed children being burned to their death and

As they move into their new house, that has wire fence surrounding their property, Bruno has a feeling that something is up and feels unsafe. He looks out his room window and sees many kids and adults all wearing the same striped outfit on the other side of the fence. Without knowing his family moves into a residence near the concentration camp, Auschwitz.

Then the Nazis take over Hungary and start to put the Jewish people in ghettos. Then they were loaded into cattle cars, in the car a lady goes nuts about a fire she sees in her mined. After they get to Auschwitz Eliezer is separated with his father from his mother and his sister and never sees them again. Eliezer and his father had toile about there

The government didn’t care if they were sick, starving, alive or dead. (Roy 45). Because they had to live in the ghetto, the Nazis controlled everything they did such as how much food they got to eat, which wasn't very much (Roy 11, 20, 33 and 50). Many people were very thin, and very hungry (Roy 50). Jews were normally very cold, with no heat and had to huddle together to stay warm (Roy 20). Lots of children, including Silvia couldn't come out of their home or be seen by anyone, or they would be taken away and put into concentration camps (Roy 20). The Nazis were very harsh to the Jews and treated them like animals and not like humans.

This brings out the beauty in where they live, which is what Guido is all about. When they arrive at the camp, all around them is dark and gloomy with no color at all. The Nazis also make everyone change into the same uniform, which takes individuality away from everyone and giving the Nazis a sense of more control

The story begins with Sara occupying a concentration camp called Stutthof. Though things at Stutthof are not anything close to freedom, they do not compare to the torture inflicted on Jews at Auschwitz. At Stutthof, the prisoners struggles to portion the food equally, until a convenient compromise is made. Prisoners are then placed on a train that they are unaware is heading to Auschwitz. On the train the SS men treat them humanely.

"It was crying and praying. So long we survived. And now we waited only that they shoot, because we had not else to do" (267). This quote from the end of the novel ironically describes what the Jewish people endured after the concentration camps. Vladek Spieglman among other suffered through traumatic experiences; though Vladek certainly did survive the holocaust, old Vladek did not. Post-Holocaust it is revealed by Spieglman that his father, Vladek, develops two personalities—before and after the concentration camps. Vladek’s post-holocaust life was haunted by the horrors he witnessed while being in the concentration camps; he went from a young, handsome resourceful man to a miserable, old man who does nothing but complain.

WWII and the Holocaust is a time of horror for many jewish people across Europe, families were separated into concentration camps where they were treated like nothing. The tragic event resulted in many deaths. The novel, The Diary of a Young Girl translated by Mooyaart-Doubleday and the movie, Life is Beautiful directed by Roberto Benigni, explains the story of two different people and their experiences through the Holocaust. In her diary, Anne Frank explains her experience of hiding from the Holocaust. In the movie, it explains Guido´s experience of the Holocaust and how he had to protect his son during the event. Throughout their experiences, Anne and Guido have many differences and similarities. In both the book and the movie, Anne and Guido demonstrate their similarities in how they are nervous, how they comfort someone and how they both have hope. Although they are very similar, Anne and Guido have differences as well. For example, their personalities are different, their opinions are different, and their experience during the Holocaust is different. The Holocaust is a painful experience for people across the country including Anne and Guido.

-He gets taken to a prisoners of war camp and he meets Paul Lazzaro and Edgar Derby. Lilly and Edgar are sent to Dresden where they live on an old slaughterhouse.

I say this because while Guido and his family are in the concentration camp, they are separated from one another. Guido and Joshua stay together and Guido’s uncle and Dora get separated. This is what happened in real life because in the memoir Night by Elie Wiesel, Eliezer and his father are separated from his Mother and Sisters. Also in the film, it is shown that the children are executed without hesitation. Again in Night by Elie Wiesel, Eliezer and his father see some babies that are being burned alive by the Nazis. “I told him that I did not believe that they could burn people in our age, that humanity would never tolerate it . . .” This was a quote from the memoir. The film is also useful in showing the severity of the Holocaust when it shows the death of Guido and the cruelty of the Nazis. In Night, Eliezer and his father see a child being hanged. In the movie, the cruelty of the Nazis is also shown when Guido is killed. With all these reasons and the comedic effect the film has I believe that the film would be a good fit for showing younger viewers the horrors of the

Joshua's father is doing the right thing by using his comedic genius to trick his son into believing the concentration camp is just a game. His action is justified by him being a good parent and putting his child before himself. Even though Guido unfortunately dies right before the concentration camp is shut down, he has saved his son. He keeps his son's head up through the entire ordeal and when he becomes older and mature he realizes what enormous sacrifices his father made for him. Joshua grows from the experience realizing what a great man his father is and how he is able to make it through the horrific event alive.

The film opens with a depiction of barbaric executions of Jews by Nazis in which the Italian protagonists are forced to consider their own culpability as Italians, Germany 's allies in the war. Wertmüller, like Benigni, was criticized for profaning the Holocaust in the scenes of Pasqualino 's copulation with the camp commandant and Pasqualino 's later insistence on procreation as a means to ensure survival (V. Pezzetti 1-20).

1) In Maus, Art Spiegelman tells the story of his father’s survival of the Holocaust. Vladek narrates his experiences for his son, while the book takes pauses to examine relationships between the family members, and shed light on the impact the Holocaust has had on their personal lives decades later. Vladek’s story begins with him living as a young, well-off man in Sosnowiec, Poland, and marrying Art’s mother, Anja Zylberberg. When the war breaks out, he is drafted into the Polish army and taken as a prisoner of war by the Germans, all while anti-Semitism is spreading throughout Europe. After finally being released from the POW camp, he returns to Poland, a time during which Jews have begun to be deported to concentration camps. He, his wife, and their families are relocated to a ghetto, followed by Dienst Stadium, from where a majority of their relatives are transferred to the camps. They send their son Richieu off to live with an aunt in another city, but eventually the Jews there are also deported and killed. From then, Vladek and Anja go into hiding at a farm near Sosnowiec, and meet a group of Polish men who promise to smuggle them into Hungary, but turn them into the Gestapo, which transports them to Auschwitz and Birkenau, where Vladek is able to survive through his resourcefulness, knowledge of languages, and work as a tinman and shoemaker. After a year, the Allies begin to approach, and the Nazis send the remaining Jews alive to Dachau, then to the Swiss border,
