Stuffed Animals Analysis

Animal imagery in Henrick Ibsen's play, A Doll's House is a critical part of the character development of Nora, the protagonist.

The main characters are people who want to survive but there is a long and difficult way in front of them which they will have to conquer. However, they have already adapted to this kind of life and they are survivors. This page is interesting and admirable because of the middle panel where the readers can see Anja and Vladek from behind going in the unknown direction. They are singled out because other survivors seem to know where they are going because one of the people says: “We’ll be hiding at this address. When you find a safe place, try to contact us, Vladek” (Spiegelman 125). The survivors care about the well-being of one another. Anja and Vladek are depicted from the upper angle which implies their vulnerability and the fact that they have no shelter. There is nowhere to go and the only path is through the road in the shape of the swastika. It is clear that they are the survivors of the Holocaust, but it does not mean that they have solved all of their problems. They are alive and they have to find new life now which is going to be difficult. It can be observed from the panel that they are elegant and brave people and they are Art’s parents. They are holding hands, because their intimacy is all they have and they are probably wearing all of the clothes they possess. It is obvious that they were people who were not poor, but the Holocaust happened and made them lose their

Both readings give the daily life of a child during the time of the Holocaust.

Chapters 3 to 5 express the many pains that all Jewish people alike were subjected to. Many’s perspectives, moralities, etc changed, but what was the Germans to gain for this? Did this benefit their agenda at all? In chapter 3 of Night, by Elie Wiesel, many Jewish people are stripped of their humanities through the processes of assigning numbers in place of names, shaving off body hair, removing gold dental work, and wearing the same clothing in concentration camps.

Being that the version of this book I read did not have illustrations but on the front, I would not say that there was anything stereotypical about the characters in the illustration. They were dressed just as the people photographed in the pictures from Auschwitz: hanging, dirty striped clothing, some with shoes, some without, shorn haircuts and starving. The stereotype (and what rallied most of the Germans against their Jewish neighbors) was that the Jewish community was far more wealthy than themselves, especially during a socioeconomic crisis. Much of the community was well-off, being that many owned their own small businesses, but were not greedy and conniving as the stereotype went. They were no more rich or better off than their German counterparts who did the same work. However, when war is ready to break, one looks for and finds

Has it ever dawned upon you how a twelve year old boy might have experienced the Holocaust? In the memoir Night by Elie Wiesel, Mr. Wiesel told his story, leaving us with an astonishing and vehement view to what it was like to be sent to a concentration camp at the young age of twelve. To enhance the powerful effect of the book, a multitude of motifs were utilized, although one was undeniably conspicuous: The dehumanization of the Jews. The book was a full chronicle of one young man’s experience of the Holocaust, which included multifarious occurrences of the horrors Jewish prisoners were put through, ultimately removing the essence of their humanity. Symbolism was incorporated into this motif, in which Mr. Wiesel showed how one’s eyes not

In the article, “Teens Who Fought Hitler” by Lauren Tarshis illustrates the challenges and the courageous things Ben Kamm, a jewish young boy and other jews had to go through during a frightful event in the years that will forever dent the universe in such a big way. Ben Kamm lived during a scary and frightful time in the years: the Holocaust. Ben had lived in a place called the ghetto most of his life and managed to take care of his family. He discovered a place that killed their enemies, so he decided to join it. After a few months of joining he heard his family was in trouble.

After reading two excerpts and a poem about children experiencing life during the Holocaust All the children had very different and similar experiences.The two excerpts are named “Until Then I Had Only Read about These Things in Books..” and Milkweed.The poem is named “The Guard”.

A man with a camera came to the mother of Miriam (Rot) Eshel and told her that if she gave him her bread, he would photograph their family. The man photographed them and her mother announced to her family that she will bury the picture, and who comes home will dig it out. They feared that they would never be able to retrieve it. The Holocaust was an unreal period in history, that changed life in a number of ways, and thanks to the experiences of people that lived through it we know why. The stories of Rosa Marie Burger, Irene (Blász) Csillag, and Miriam (Rot) Eshel relate to the geography of Europe because they inform us about their movements, locations, and experiences during the Holocaust.

In Porcupines and China Dolls Robert Arthur Alexie writes of hard hitting, serious issues that Aboriginal communities across Canada face but that are rarely spoken of. Alexie writes with blunt honestly aimed at an older audience who can handle the frank discussions of alcoholism, domestic violence and sex, both consensual and not. While the pace lags at the beginning it does successfully build the bleak world of the novel and the people who reside in it. Hard hitting topics, some of which are more fleshed out than others by the end, leave the reader thinking and wondering about the everyday challenges the victims of residential schools face.

While there are many surviving documents from the Holocaust, arguably the most important sources are witness testimonies, which are accessible to us through the medium of art. In chapter one “I am a Camera” in Depiction and Interpretation: The Influence of the Holocaust on the Visual Arts, Ziva Amishai-Maisels discusses two categories of artists: “inmates” who were actual witnesses to the atrocities, and “non-inmates”. In this essay, I will explore and contrast the ways in which inmates and non-inmates represented the Holocaust and the Jewish people; for inmate artists, their stylistic choices were influenced by their motivation to resist dehumanization and maintain their dignity by using these works to affirm their life, and non-inmate subject matter reflects themes such as anger towards Hitler and Jewish resistance. I will contrast non-inmate artists Max Weber and William Gropper with inmate artists Bedrich Fritta and Leo Haas to argue that while some may feel that there is no way that Holocaust art can represent what life was like for those who lived through the Holocaust, art by inmates is able to provide an in-depth understanding of Holocaust experience in ways that non-inmate art cannot.

The next photo is very underexposed. It shows Father’s store, but this time the windows have been smashed, and it shows people leaving the store, arms filled with merchandise. These people were looting his store, carrying away whatever they could. They were Father’s customers. People he trusted. It is the day after Kristallnacht, “the night of broken glass,” called that because all night you could hear the sound of glass breaking, the glass of synagogues and Jewish stores and homes and prayer halls. Under the picture is the date November 10, 1938.

In both cases of the post-Holocaust German family and the German-Israeli Jewish family, family album is an important site of the reproduction of family ideology. Unlike a single picture, family album provides a common context to a set of photos, engaging memorial fragments stored in each picture into dialog, and weaving them together under as a coherent narrative under what Marianne Hirsch called “the family gaze.” Despite the fact that Hirsch in her milestone work Family Frames mainly analyzes individual photographs, she suggests the significance of family album at the very beginning of the preface, where Hirsch talks about the family albums collected by her grandmother: “family pictures depend on such a narrative act of adoption that transforms

Along with this postcard one can also find handkerchiefs, children’s dolls and suitcases all of which were left by some such Bela Gondos, who survived the war due to Kastner’s actions. The halls filled with belongings in Auschwitz are innumerably larger as they hold the personal objects of those who perished. The micro­narratives, and traumas were very different across the entire Shoah, albeit the common themes of loss and despair seemed to loom everywhere

Even though his family comes from wealth they don’t receive any special privileges and they are forced to basically live on top of each other in 2 ½ rooms. This symbolizes how little power even the most wealth Jewish people have because the Nazis are taking over. On that same page in the third panel the image shows a sign that states, “REWARD: For Every Unregistered Jew You Find: 1 Kilo of Sugar” (82)! This is extremely powerful because the Nazis bribe other people to expose Jewish people in order to receive rewards. Now, the Jewish people not only have to live in fear because of the Nazis, but also because any non-Jewish person could turn them in for a
