Summary Of Speech To The People Of Auschwitz By Elie Wiesel

Ever played a game of hide and seek? Well it was slightly like that for the Franks (A Jewish family living during the Holocaust) except they were forced to play, and if caught the consequences were deadly. The theme of Anne Frank is human growth involves pain, this is the theme because life can’t flow smoothly without a few bumps, there's always a few things you have to get past first. Anne Frank and her family were forced into hiding because they were Jewish, and Jewish people were discriminated against and killed in concentration camps during the Holocaust.

You mostly see good vs. evil in fairy tales and in fiction books. Have you ever witnessed good vs. evil in the real world? One of the themes displayed in The Diary of Anne Frank is “Good vs. Evil”. The good vs. evil is displayed in three different levels, level on is the society as a whole during WWII. The second level is the eight people hiding in the Annex, and the last level is the character of Anne. These show how people were affected during WWII and how others treated others.

¨The Diary Of Anne Frank¨ has its own main idea or central.The book is based on the holocaust.Anne Frank is a Jew and in the 1940s Hitler hated and mistreated Jews.Jews, like Anne Frank had to hide so they wouldn’t get beaten up or killed by Hilter’s followers.Also in those years the World War 2 had began.

Elie Wiesel’s book “Night” shows the life of a father and son going through the concentration camp of World War II. Their life long journey begins from when they are taken from their home in Sighet, they experience harsh and inhuman conditions in the camps. These conditions cause Elie and his father’s relationship to change. During their time there, Elie and his father experience a reversal in roles.

Millions of people were killed during the Holocaust. They suffered from diseases and starvation, labored to death, and murdered in concentration camps. In experiencing the terrors of the Holocaust, Elie Wiesel describes his dreadful experiences as a Jewish boy under Nazi control. Everybody goes through situations and experiences that affect them in some way, perhaps even change them. This intense story not only indicates the horror of the concentration camp experience; it shows many important examples of literary devices and reveals certain themes of the excerpt. The way Wiesel uses these devices and themes help create an overwhelming effect on the story. Wiesel talked about the camp using pathos to express how their lives were full of darkness. There were many quotes that gave readers a sense of sympathy. For instance, the quote “I witnessed other hangings. I never saw a single victim weep. For a long time, those dried-up bodies had long forgotten the bitter taste of tears” (572). This particular quote shows that they were hopeless about everything and their lives were never getting better. The way Wiesel specifies this emotional feeling is definitely the strongest, without a doubt. It appears to be practically unreasonable for a reader not to cry about the way Wiesel describes the things he goes through.

In 1933, the nazi took power in Germany, which cause depression to a lot of people. At the beginning, Nazi defy the Jews, Gypsies, and the disabled. In March 1933, the first concentration camp was built and later on more concentration and death camps were made. A family named the Franks went into hiding with the Van Daans in Amsterdam. In “Anne Frank” the characters face adversity and conflict like man vs self, man vs nature, and man vs man that makes the “Diary of Anne Frank” a wonderful story.

The Holocaust is one of the darkest and most saddening events in European history. The concentration camps in Europe, like Auschwitz, were places of torture and murder where millions of Jews were exterminated. As a Polish citizen myself, I have heard stories of the Holocaust that were passed down from my great grandmother who lived in Krakow, which is a small town close to where Auschwitz was located. My great grandmother and many high school history classes only ever mentioned the horrific treatment and extermination of Jews in Auschwitz. However, in 1944 Elie Wiesel’s account of Auschwitz in his memoir, Night, describes being transported from Auschwitz I, which was SS headquarters, to Auschwitz II, which was a killing centre, and then finally to Auschwitz III, which was a slave labour camp. My interest of Auschwitz’s three camps from reading Elie Wiesel’s memoir has led me to research and write about the different concentration camps, Auschwitz I, Auschwitz II (Birkenau), and Auschwitz III (Buna), that Elie Wiesel was taken to and discuss their purposes.

1.1 million. That is the number of people exterminated by the Nazi regime of Adolph Hitler at Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp between 1940-45. (Auschwitz-Birkenau museum online) The raw number itself absolutely staggering, too large for any human being to wrap their minds around. It is a large enough number to inspire skepticism, disbelief, and outrage. To this day, decades after the fact, there are still those who deny that any of it ever happened because the numbers are just too big. It is better to think of this tragedy in more personal terms: as in 1.1 million families physically ripped apart, 1.1 million dreams snuffed out, and untold numbers of survivors left scared forever. Human faces need to be attached to the raw numbers, or else the numbers become a point of data, something which can be spun to serve up moral or political advantage in today 's society. We must remember what happened in Auschwitz-Birkenau, and the other Nazi concentration camps. All of humanity must remember or we are surely doomed to one-day repeat this dark chapter in our history.

The Holocaust was one of the most horrifying crimes against humanity. "Hitler, in an attempt to establish the pure Aryan race, decided that Jews, Poles, Soviet prisoners of war, Roma (Gypsies), and homosexuals amongst others were to be eliminated from the German population. One of his main methods of exterminating these “undesirables” was through the use of concentration and death camps. In January of 1941, Adolf Hitler and his top officials decided to make their “final solution” a reality. Their goal was to eliminate the Jews and the “impure” from the entire German population. Auschwitz was not only the largest concentration camp that carried out Hitler's “final solution,” but it was also

To begin, Anne Frank was about thirteen years old in 1942 when she and her family went into hiding because they were jewish and during that time all of Europe was being taken over by a dictator, named Adolf Hitler. Anne had a diary that she kept with her through the holocaust and it describes on first hand what dreadful fears she had and what ghastly things she eventually went through. The opening of her diary was a world where there was not much trouble. Jewish people had some restrictions, but they weren’t life threatening. After a few entries she begins to write about a dark world, a world that was now filled with fear of eveeryones life. Anne and her family were eventually betrayed and Nazi soldiers took them to

The Diary of Anne Frank is one of the few books that really showed people the daily life of a person who was Jewish during World War II. The Diary of Anne Frank is about her and seven other people going into hiding once they hear the news about the Nazi’s. The people that were in the annex were Anne Frank her family, The Van Daans and Dussel. Anne Frank becomes more mature during the time she was in the annex. You can really tell this when she turns fifteen years old. During that time she talks about how she feels and she now understands how people feel and think. She also wasn’t getting in trouble as much.

For me this book has a theme of facing reality because it fits, its like when your are building a puzzle and you find the right piece, well I found the right theme. Facing reality is the correct theme for me to this book because Anne Frank has a normal life just like you and me but when things got bad with the Jewish Holocaust, she faced reality as it was, she was a adventurous, agile, brave and specially, a really intelligent girl. When she just faced reality and adapted to life is seamed extraordinary, normal people cant even adapt to life when they did not like their hear cut. In Anne Frank when she realizes that Hitler and his army were looking for jews in Amsterdam she freaked out a while but after that she was in her secret room making

One of the earliest lines reads, “Each day/ each Nazi/ took, at 8:00 AM, a baby/ and sautéed him for breakfast/ in his frying pan.” (Lines 4-8) One of the easiest things to note is the use of past tense verbiage such as “took” and “sautéed” which indicates the events in the poem occurred after the era of Jewish concentration and death camps as the title suggests. In regards to metaphors, something thing that seemed odd about this line was the

I have learned a great amount of information throughout this novel, including life lessons, human capabilities, and most importantly Anne Frank’s life. Life is truly unpredictable as for Anne Frank. She had planned her life after the war, but sadly died before she reached her adulthood. As of now, I’m very lucky that I’m not involved in such tragedy, like oppression and war. I am very content with the way my life is going on as of now, hoping that nothing like the holocaust will happen. It’s truly remarkable that Anne kept up during the hiding. She had multiple thoughts of ending her life or giving up, but until the day she was captured to be killed, Anne held her head up. Before I had read Anne Frank, she was a nobody to me in terms of influence. But now I consider her one of the most influential and admirable people in my life. “I don’t think of all the misery, but of the beauty that still remains.” This famous quote by Anne Frank thus made me think more positively. Beauty still remains in this world, even though there is

I will begin by telling you about one of the most well known diaries. The Diary of Anne Frank is about the Frank family hiding in an annex during world war 2. Anne Frank who was 13 when she started her diary writes about her daily life living in the annex while they were hiding in the annex. At the beginning of her diary Anne writes about how they snuck away at night with all their clothes to the annex and the note they used to trick the Nazis into not searching for them where they were. At the end of Anne’s diary was on August 1st and two days after her final entry they were found by the nazi soldiers and taken to separate concentration camps where everyone but her dad died who found her diary and decided to publish it. Anne’s diary shows an aspect of how her and the people she was in the annex with might have seen the war and what hiding actually felt like.
