The Article ' Teens Against Hitler ' By Lauren Tarshis

“The future of the German nation depends on its youth and the German youth shall have to be prepared for its future duties”

The article, “Teens Who Fought Hitler”, by Lauren Tarshis is about how a boy named Ben fought against Adolf Hitler, who wanted all of Germany’s 9.5 million Jews dead. Ben’s family was forced into a ghetto, Ben broke out and joined the partisans in hope to save his family. He fought against the Nazis but unfortunately his family was killed, so Ben went on and fought by sabotaging the Nazis supplies. Ben went through many challenges and fought with courage.

It took courage because if you had to be stuck in the ghetto for days you would starve.¨Warsaw ghetto for two days, sneaking in and out to steal food for his family. He considered taking his brothers back to the forest with him¨ (10) This takes courage because if he didn't have the courage to do that then his family could of starved. Even though he could of got caught he did it for his family and his life. Another thing that took courage from Ben always did things that could be dangerous and that are dangerous. According to the text it shows that ¨Ben volunteered for dangerous missions blowing up cargo trains carrying supplies to German troops¨ (10)This also takes courage because he could have died in the dangerous things that Ben did. He sacrificed his life for everything he did. Lastly, they were protecting the community from the German troops. In the text it states that ¨...after the Nazis murdered their family.The brothers fought German troops and ran sabotage missions,though their focus was protecting a community of around 1,200Jewish men,and children.¨ (9)If they didn't protect the Jews a lot of people could of died but it took courage to protect them because they could of got

The Jews had been invaded by the Nazi’s and got killed by gas chambers .The Jews were being slathered by Adolf Hitler ,the leader of the Nazis and Ben Kamm was one of the survivors, out of 60,000 million people who died from world war II, this is the Holocaust. Through Ben Kamm’s experiences during the Holocaust he became physically stronger, emotionally stronger, and a fighter.

During his dictatorship, Adolf Hitler spread his antisemitic views all over Germany. Susan Campbell Bartoletti, writer of “Hitler Youth: Growing up in Hitler’s Shadow,” explored in the article how Hitler used education to devise methods of brainwashing and puppeteering. Three methods Hitler used were the standardized school curriculum, the pressuring teachers, and the creation of a youth group in order to spread antisemitism. To start, Hitler used the standardized school curriculum to his advantage. Hitler believed that education should be used for molding children into good Nazis.

Life in the Hitler Youth was scary for the young kids. How Hitler Youth was scary will be in this essay. It was an organization that schooled children and forced them into the military.

Adolfo Kaminsky, an 18-year-old who lived in 1944-Paris as an immigrant from Argentina, during the 2nd World War, was no different. But his riskiness was accompanied with a sense of responsibility for the millions of lives lost in the Holocaust. Adolfo, himself, was born a Jew and had once been sent to an internment camp; but the Argentinian government opposed this action against their citizens, which saved his life. It might be this experience that caused Adolfo to empathize with the Jews who weren’t as privileged as he had been. His journey began as a child when he worked in a cloth dryer’s. Later, his experience with inks got him recruited in a Jewish Resistance Group who was responsible for saving the lives of thousands of Jews who would have otherwise died in the camps. In the New York Times article, ‘If I Sleep an Hour, 30 People Will Die”, Adolfo states the reason, “I saved lives because I can’t deal with unnecessary deaths-I just can’t” To put this in other words, he risked his own life to save others. He would not have lost anything if he had just ignored the unfortunate Jews; but he didn’t, which makes him a better human from those he

The story “Teens Against Hitler” shows the bravery of some daring Jews willing to risk their lives after Hitler took almost everything from them. They were living in a terrible period in time, when Adolf Hitler was working to eliminate all of Europe’s 9.5 million Jews. And he might have actually succeeded, if it weren’t for the Partisans. In the text it states: “They blew up factories, sabotaged railroads, stole weapon shipments, and upset the flow of supplies to German troops.”(pg. 8). This shows how they had to do some really challenging things to accomplish their one goal: stop Hitler and the Holocaust.

Although the Nazi’s goal during World War II was to exterminate the Jews, many Jews share their survival stories today, because one man changed the course of history and saved over one thousand innocent people.

Our society study literature to help us learn about what caused events in the past because it’s important we know how those events happened and how to prevent them from happening. For example, the Holocaust. To this day we still don’t know what made Hitler snap and want to eliminate all the Jews of the earth.

Do you know how many Jews died in the Holocaust? Only an estimated 37% of Jewish people survived Hitler’s horrible reign. There are only so many people out there willing to risk everything they have and everything they stand for, all to spare others from pain and misery. But the feeling obtained from helping others is pure satisfaction. Both Werner Klemke and Ernie Feld learned that hard work can save lives

The abhorrent educational practices used by Hitler to influence Germany’s youth was not limited to schooling. Many middle and upper class families who were affluent enough to own televisions would often be exposed to children’s cartoons that taught youth about state sanctioned anti-semitism and ultra-Aryan-nativism. In one Nazi cartoon, produced in 1944, was aimed toward the French in an attempt to convince French children that the Allied forces were violent, repressive, and that the children of Europe were the key to preserving the lives of their families. The minute- long cartoon depicted a man with stereotypically Jewish caricatures screaming into the microphone along with inaccurate anti-American stereotypes such as how dangerous they were and why the children should oppose them

Hitler also persuaded "his" children into thinking that, since Hitler was their "father", this also meant that he also cared about them, and about their future. Of course, Hitler actually only cared about one man -- himself. Hitler's Youth were just his "pawns" in his great political and military scheme to take over the

Nazi education schemes part fitted in with this but hitler wanted to occupy the mind of the young minds in germany and even more. A young german must be as educated as all the adults , greyhounds. The youth can avoid doing this active service if they all pay their subscription. The nazi party would not have been so terrible if the decisions or actions taken weren't so harsh.

Officially beginning in 1926, Hitler sought to win the children of Germany to his side through the enticing program Hitlerjugend, or Hitler Youth. As its popularity grew, the Nazi Party initiated new groups. The Bund Deutsher Mädel (BDM) for girls aged 14-18 began in 1930. The Jungvolk and Jungmädel provided a place for boys and girls aged 10-14 years old. Only sworn in on April 20th as a birthday to Hitler, children entering the Jungvolk chanted “QOUTE”. To enter these programs, the Nazi party required children to be proven “Ayran” and could not be burdened with physical defects, disease or mental disorders. Physical fitness remain a high standard during the course of the Hitler Youth for both young men and women. They competed in sporting
