Skorzeny's Secret Book Report

The powerful and gripping novel The Boy Who Dared, written by Susan Campbell Bartoletti, is a Newbery Honor book. The novel is based on Helmuth Hubener who lived during the Holocaust when the Nazis were rising to power in 1933. Helmuth was one of the very few young boys who tried to expose Hitler to the people of Germany. Hitler was torturing the Jews and declaring wars on countries just because he wanted war. He also ruined Jewish shops and destroyed their futures. The Boy Who Dared shows historical accuracy in many ways, especially as it focuses on Helmuth’s life, the

Cameron Morgan is not a normal girl. She goes to spy school, speaks fourteen different languages, and knows how to kill a man seven different ways with her bare hands. She’s basically prepared for everything, except for love.

Mein Kampf was a key symbol in the novel, it helped Max with his struggle plus it helped Hans with his image. Mein Kampf shows how powerful words can be and how words can have such an influence on people’s decisions. Hitler’s struggle helped Hans and Max in their own struggle, without his knowledge. I read some of Mein Kampf and I was astonished to see how well he wrote. Obviously he knew what he was doing and how to do it. I was shocked while hearing the tragic stories during the Holocaust when I visited Europe this summer.

Yeah, it’s hardly gone unnoticed, hasn’t it? I think that what the Nazis did was absolutely terrible and will hopefully never be repeated. I really do understand why people get upset when I describe the Nazis as human beings, but that’s what they are: human beings. I wanted this novel to be as realistic as possible. This novel is a manual for understanding the process of resistance, not a political

It is clearly written to be more amusing to attract a larger audience. Obviously history buffs will not get as much out of this book as they would with a concrete World War II novel, but O’Reilly and Dugard try their best to appeal to both audiences. For instance, real anecdotes regarding important historical figures interest both parties. One such anecdote regards Joseph Stalin’s strict orders of his bodyguards never to enter his room under any circumstances. To test them, Stalin screamed one night on his bed and his bodyguards came rushing to his room. It was all a test and each man was executed due to not following orders (O'Reilly and Dugard, ch.

I didn’t see this book as a historic book I actually saw a different meaning behind the actual history behind it and saw the moral of the story that pain is conquerable and that everything will be okay if you are motivated to achieve it. I found this book incredibly inspiring and It benifited me to fine a better meaning in life. Group Response; The book was fantastic and it was an incredible story. It has helped immensely because before the book we only knew facts about World War II and this book actually brought a bigger picture as to what really happened behind the facts and showed an actually story of what happened in World War

All these men above died from what they believe and were making progress to their countries, now these are the bad guys that get killed or got away. This is Hitler's assassination and considered the legendary murder in the 2nd World War. The field mission to assassinate Hitler as Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, a German nobleman. Stauffenberg is also the chief of the reserve forces in the Nazi army, but thought against Hitler. In fact, the plan to assassinate Hitler is prepared for a long time and is set to perform on July 20, 1944. According to the plan, Colonel Stauffenberg placed the bomb in Hitler's conference room, near the sitting position of the Nazi bosses.

They taught me about this terrible event in history.The two books Rose Under Fire by Elizabeth Wein and Night by Elie Wiesel both told glorious and agonizing stories about their past that needs to be brought up and learned about. I've learned that all the characters in the books Night and Rose Under Fire share the same experiences in some way or another. They aswell have differences such as where they were brought and their background. I learned that their experiences mean a lot more than just words on paper. The Holocaust was a horrible time period yet we survived it but it is not something we will ever be able to forget. Rose and Elie share their true stories on their experiences in the

Short story series “America’s Book of Secrets: Presidential Transportation” season 1 episode 6, written by Brian Coughlin and first premiered, January 21, 2012. This episode highlights the transport of the president. The book of secrets breaks down how the president safety is key in his transport to various destinations. Upon the completion of this video review readers will understand how the president travels and the steps taken to ensure safety.

The most intriguing part of the story was that the author provided detailed facts on how the plan was organized for the rescue. There was an intense feeling that occur when it came to confronting the SS and the Nazis. It was enjoyable how it mentioned that the Jews were full of excitement when they reached safety. The author kicks in descriptions and detailed moments throughout the way of the journey. It was amazing how actual German Officers became involved in the rescue to help the Rebbe escape Hitler. The book, Rescued from the Reich was well documented and thoroughly explained. The author, Bryan Mark Rigg, displayed data from back in history that was not known, which makes it impressive.

Ultimately, the most significant use of Nazi data was to prove the actual holocaust. Nazi’s were able to hide their mass killings from other countries. Besides survivor accounts and rumors, was no quantifiable proof that Nazi’s had committed genocide in Europe. However, with the Nazi defeat, and the liberation of concentration camps, Nazi’s were unable to hide the evidence needed to convict there organization of genocide (Kimel). In addition to photographic evidence documented by Americans, there was an endless supply to prisoner files, and data of concentration camps. (“nodak.edu”). This evidence is what was used to prove genocide against the Nazis. The true significance of the Nazi data is that the Allies, after the war, had trouble proving the Holocaust. However, the information used by the Nazis to slaughter millions was now being used against them to convict them of their crimes. Nazi’s kept the data because this data was Hitler’s way of proving to the world what he had accomplished: His dream to eradicate “inadequate” races from Europe, and preserve his Aryan race. In a way, he succeeded. He proved that he was responsible for genocide. After his suicide, ironically, his information was now being used to convict his entire staff and country.

1) The author shows friendship between the characters, Georges and Safer. In the book, Liar and Spy, Georges gets involved with this spy club where he and safer track this man called Mr. X. Although, if any kids in Georges' school were to find out that he was going to the spy club he would be made fun of. Also many times in the story Georges goes to Safer's house to eat dinner and once Safer teaches him how to cook eggs.

I personally think that The Wave is important to read because it shows how easy it was for Hitler to grab the German's attention and loyalty. In the book, many of the characters in Mr. Ross’s class felt exhilarated after his experiment. They were so attached to The Wave that they wanted to continue on with it. Reading the book has made me realize how the Nazis came to be. The students of Mr. Ross’s class felt like they had a leader because of how abrasive he was. For example, when one of the students didn’t follow one of his directions during the experiment, he would yell, tell them to sit down and try again. Sometimes, he would even slam his hand on the desk. I think everyone should read The Wave.

In short, Hitler’s book Mein Kampf shares the authors belief, sparked a great reaction from the world and was full of purpose, giving it a reason to be a popular subject among the citizens of the world. Mein Kampf offers the views of Adolf Hitler and his plans for Germany, and his story was read by a vast amount of
