Sister Angus And The Holocaust

Elisabeth Abegg took an important role in saving the Jews. She offered them temporary accommodation in her own home and directed them to hiding spots all around.

Anne and her family has very hard lives during the Holocaust. They treat you so poorly in the concentration camps. The fact that they hid for a very long time instead of registering, made them prisoners so they were treated even worse.

First of all, Anne Frank is only one of a million Jewish children who died during the slaughter and she represents the lost potential of all the children. However, she is one of the most recognized victims because of her diary. Only a small amount of children persecuted during the catastrophe wrote diaries that have survived. Her diary reflects a varied and complex view of a young girl who lived and died during the mass murder. Her diary is one of the best-written diaries authored by a teenager living and hiding during a catastrophe and details a

It is just one of many stories of ordinary people taking the heroic call for action upon themselves. For example, Anne Frank was a young Jewish girl whose family was hidden for years in the annex f oan office building with the help of the family's friends and coworkers. Many Jewish people’s choice Anne Frank and her family had little choice about their lives simply because they were Jewish. Anne Frank’s family was forced into hiding to avoid being sent into concentration camp and to avoid Anti-Semitic practices. Members of the Assisi Network believed that all refugees should have a choice: in what religion they practiced, to not be discriminated against, to have a life and personality outside of their race and religion. Gertruda Babilins was the nanny of a rich Jewish family and saved the boy who had she cared for when the war began. She worked very hard to give him a good childhood because she thought that the Nazis had robbed him of that. Gertruda wanted Mickey to practice Judaism even though she was a Catholic and he was immersed in Catholic culture. Even though it was hard for her to pay for his Jewish schooling. Just like those of the Assisi network allowed the people they rescued to practice Judaism even though it made the hiding process more

Jews have perished because of their beliefs since the beginning of time but never have so many Jews been persecuted worldwide as they were in World War II. Anne Frank’s diary reaches a place within all of our hearts because it reminds us how easily the innocents can suffer. Sometimes we may choose to close our eyes or look the other way when unjustifiable things happen in our society and Anne’s tale reminds us that ignorance, in part, claimed her life. Sadly, her story is but one of many of those who died in the Holocaust and as with other Jews, her fate was determined by the country she lived in, her sex and her age.

Among the on million of the children killed was Anne Frank. Anne was a Jewish, teenage, girl who's family went into hiding. They stayed hidden for over two years in their Secret Annex. Over the course of these two years, she kept a dairy that has now been published. Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl had been translated into over 60 languages and is read and studdied world-wide. She began the dairy at age thirteen and wrote her last entree at age fifteen. The majority of her diary talks about her time spent in the Secret Annex which was the back part of a spice warehouse owned by her father previous to the Neurenburg Race Laws. The Franks lived with another family, the Van Dann's, and another man named Dussel. On August 4, 1944 German officers stormed the Annex and arrested all families. They were then taken to a transfer camp called Westerbork. They spent roughly one month there before being moved to Auschwitz, a consentration camp. Once off the train men, women, and childern were all separated. That was the last time Anne saw her Father, Mr. Van Dann, Dussel, or Peter. This is when the dehumanization began. People working the camps strped them of glasses, jewlery, shoes, and anything else that made them a individual. In addition to this the Nazi cut their hair and put them all in uniforms so tthey all looked the same. After anther month of

In a New York Times article the author summarizes that, “As a member of a commission appointed by Gov. Thomas H. Kean, she helped write a 1994 law mandating the teaching of the Holocaust and genocide in all elementary and high schools in New Jersey.” This quote reveals that Sister Rose is a hard-working and that she can speak out unlike any other individual and change the rules. I find it inspiring to see how one women can do this and I believe I can do the same to further stop discrimination.

The article, “The Girl Who Lived Forever”, by Kristen Lewis, describes the hardships of Anne Frank, a Jewish girl, and her family, who like millions of other Jews, perished at the hands of the Nazis during WWII. Anne Frank lived during one of the most terrifying and horrific historical events the world has ever seen, the Holocaust. She and her family managed to survive for 2 long years in hiding, by living in a secret annex behind her father’s pectin factory. In August of 1944, the SS captured Anne and the others hiding in the annex. All but Otto Frank, Anne’s father, perished in the Nazi concentration camps. Though they lived through unspeakable and unimaginable challenges, Anne, her family and their friends showed a tremendous amount of courage trying to defy Hitler and his evil regime.

“I believe in the sun even when it is not shining. I believe in love even when I cannot feel it. I believe in God even when he is silent”. These are the words that were carved onto a German jail cell wall by a Jewish prisoner during the Holocaust. The mentality of knowing God would watch out for the Jewish people affected by the Holocaust was really the only reason for staying hidden throughout the two year span that the Holocaust lasted. One of the Jewish survivors of the Holocaust, Jeannine Burk, could be a perfect example. Jeannine hid from the Nazis for two years, and the urge to see her family again was what drove her to keep hidden and go through such a difficult experience with confusion blinding her every move.

Don’t you hate it when your family and strangers treat you in a harsh way. Anne Frank was treated harshly by some people in the secret annex people would yell at her call her spoiled lazy and was always telling her what to do. But some people treated her nicely like Peter VanDaan and her dad in a way that made her feel loved by some people around her. Anne was a twelve year old girl when she was forced into hiding because she was a Jew in Nazi territory during WW2. Anne is treated by the people in the annex in many ways and that effects her character in such a way that changes her character.

The Terrible Things is an allegory to the holocaust by Eve Bunting. This allegory is comparable to First they came for the communists, and the excerpt from Elie Wiesel’s Night in the sense of that they all convey a message of how ignoring people who are trying to warn you, or just not doing anything to warn or help other people/creatures, will eventually get you all taken away in the holocaust. Throughout the story, not one animal speaks out, or tries to help another creature when they are being taken away. Little rabbit constantly asks why a certain creature was taken away. Big rabbit simply replies, “The Terrible Things don’t need a reason. Just be glad it wasn't us they wanted” (Bunting 1). Eventually, there are no creatures left in the

Their role in the Holocaust played an important part in not only saving lives, but inspiring others to be upstanders and take action for what is right. After learning about the Sharps, they showed me how to be an upstander and how I can provide support for the lesser community. Also, they showed me that any normal girl or boy can do anything, as long as they try, work hard, and have the desire to accomplish their goal. Most importantly, everyone can learn to show integrity and do the right thing, even when no-one is watching. With all the bullying around me, I should make an effort to change how I react, rather than being a silent witness. By being an upstander at school and at home, it will lead me to have virtuous morals and always be kind and helpful to others. Any of the choices I make will eventually impact someone and inspire my peers to make a difference. As for the Sharps, The powerful and courageous sacrifices they took is what defines them as upstanders. Not everyone can risk their life to go to war-torn Europe and save the lives of others, but Martha and Waitstill Sharp’s legacy prove that all future generations are capable of being as courageous and noble as they

     The Jewish female is like the ovule of a flower, it spreads its seeds to create future generations. It is known that the true root of a Jewish person lies in the hands of his/her mother. As it was once said by Golda Meir, “To be successful, a woman has to be much better at her job than a man.â€? (Golda Meir Quotes par. 1). And in fact it is true, that women had to be better than man to survive the holocaust, but not only to survive the holocaust but to live on to tell the stories, and to spread Judaism. Although every Jewish person was equally a victim in the genocide of the holocaust, the Jewish women were one of the main targets. This is because the Jewish women were connected to

For this reason she remind us the lesson that must be needed to learn from the events of the holocaust. Such as nobody should feel afraid to speak their mind or follow what they believe in nor should they feel obligated to do certain actions that neglect their beliefs. No matter what race, religion, skin color you are or even where you come from should control what people think about you and your beliefs nor should they think that either. Not everybody is going to have the same beliefs or desires, but people need to understand that you need to respect one another's beliefs, especially when it comes to

An abstract is a brief summary—usually about 100 to 120 words—written by the essay writer that describes the main idea, and sometimes the purpose, of the paper. When you begin your research, many scholarly articles may include an abstract. These brief summaries can help readers decide if the article is worth reading or if addresses the research question, not just the topic, one is investigating.
