The Life Of Lise Meitner

I'm going to tell you a little story about Lisl Winternitz and about her life.”some non-Jews hid Jewish children and sometimes, as in the case of Anna Frank,hid other family members as well”(myjewishlearning.com). Lisl Winternitz was born in may 7, 1926. She lived in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Lisl was the youngest of two children born to a Jewish family in the Czechoslovakian capital of Prague. Lisl’s family lived on Karlova Street in the karlin district of the city. Liesl's father owned a wholesale business that sold floor coverings. When Liesl's was 12 she went to school and her teacher shouted at her, “You dirty, filthy Jew!” and then spat at her face. They weren’t allowed in any public place and their ration cards were stamped with a red

One of the famous painters of the 17th century, the Dutch painter Judith Leyster, and the first female artist admitted to the Guild of St. Luke of Haarlem. This electromagnetic picture shows what is beneath the top coating of paint. The portrait on the easel was originally a self-portrait of Leyster. However, she transformed her observance and painted the violin player over it because her most fruitful and gainful paintings were scenes of merrymakers, a type of picture very popular with customers. She must have decided that this painting could advertise several messages at once: I am a successful woman, I am sought-after painter, I can draw great portraits, and I am skill at painting lively scenes of people.

“It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.” (Anne Frank) Anne Frank was one of the many children who fell victim to the Holocaust during the World War II. Anne’s story is nothing short of a tragedy; she died at the early age of fifteen from Typhus while being held by the Nazi Regime, in the concentration camp Bergen-Belsen. Before dying, Anne and her family went into hiding and lived secretly in her father's office building in the Netherlands. While living in the “Annex,” a secret hiding place, she developed many interests such as reading and writing. Anne is famous because she is one of the best-known victims of the Holocaust, her story has been shared with millions in a publication of her diary, and through her writing’s she introduces many people to the massacre and its horror.

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.

Elisabeth Lesuer was a very faithful, and intelligent woman in the late 19th century early 20th century. Being brought up in the upper-middle class, she was able to be educated privately in languages, arts, and literature. She has also studied much of the Catholic Faith. She meets the love of her life Felix Lesuer in 1886 while he was attending the University of Paris. The two married in 1889. While going to the university, Felix quits Catholicism, but the two had an agreement that Elisabeth can remain faithful, but Felix did not practice in the faith at all. Later in time, though, Felix started giving Elisabeth readings against Christianity weakening her participation in Christianity; One day this backfired on him when handing her Earnest Renan’s History of the Origins of Christianity, the first volume of which, The Life of Jesus, denies Christ’s Divinity. After reading this, Elisabeth does research on this matter, and experiences deep adult conversion, and returns passionately practicing the Faith,which she saw as the truth. Begins writing her spiritual journal in 1899 called Journal et pensées de chaque jour. The journal just showed how committed she was to that faith, even though her social society was against it, and how she would get by being faithful, without making Felix mad, and anyone else against the Faith she knew in her life. Elisabeth’s journal explained why she was so faithful, and how she would study, and pray the Faith in ways that didn’t upset those

Although ambition is deemed as being the leading factor of preventing self-discovery, fear is along the honourable mentions. For example, in the novel it presents the character of Marie-Laure, a girl who is blind, literally, and lives a life in fear. Now the word fear is one where most people tend to avoid it, reason being is that fear is the very essence of something that is believed to be harmful, destructive, and painful. It is an unknown variable whether being physical, emotional, or spiritual in which it can frightens one’s self of self-imagination, or even their own very reality. To continue and explain on how Marie lives in a life of fear, she is firstly blind. Being unable to see the physical animate objects in front of you only leaves

“If, when you’re older, someone comes knocking on your door asking you some heated questions that you’re not sure how to answer, just stop and say “I want an attorney” and they’ll have to provide you with one as a basic right,” she stressed.

After her husband Rudolf got killed, she lost her job because of the communist party. As long as the communist was running things she was not allowed to have a job. Thrown out of every house she moved to because the party controlled that as well, this goes to show that they truly had control over everything. She studied how the people act under a system of government that is centralized and dictatorial and requires complete subservience to the state. “Loss of Father , loss of Husband , loss of honor , loss of Health , Loss of Employment and opportunity to complete education “ (Kovaly pg.174) all under a party that her and her husband joined, the had to let it be known that the party wasn’t going to do anything that they

Early Life 1929 the 12th of June, a child is born, and that child is Annelies ‘‘Anne’’ Marie Frank. Anne Frank is a Jewish girl who grew up during WW2 and the Holocaust. Throughout her childhood, her and her father Otto, her mother Edith, and her older sister Margot, lived generally carefree lives in the German city, Frankfurt am Main. Growing up she was raised as a liberal Jew, and her and her family typically didn’t follow all customs and traditions of Judaism, the religion that Jewish people followed. When Anne was born, the family lived in an apartment like building called Marbachweg 307, where they rented out two floors. In 1931 when Anne was around the age of three, they moved into Ganghoferstrasse 24 in a modern, liberal area called Dichterviertel. When Hitler began his reign in 1933 the Frank family had moved out of fear of their lives, and were among the 30 000 Jews who had managed to escape Germany. When the family moved to Amsterdam, Anne and Margot were immediately enrolled in school. Margot was enrolled in public school, while Anne was enrolled in a Montessori school, a type of education focused mainly on observation of the child. During her years at her Montessori school Anne showed great aptitude for writing, and her friend Hanneli Goslar even recalls Anne writing a lot when they were younger, though she never let anyone read her writing and would shield it with her hands and refuse to tell anyone about it. In 1940 when Germany invaded the Netherlands, Otto

The turning point in Gertrude's life that pulled her to the field of chemistry was ......t Kristine Larsen, a professor at the Central Connecticut State University, writes within her article "Encyclopedia: Gertrude Elion," about the death of Gertrude's grandfather due to stomach cancer. After witnessing the pain her grandfather had to endure, Gertrude realized she wanted to find a way to fight cancer. She was also very opposed to the dissection of animals, so she immediately ruled out biology. It was after these realizations that she chose the path of chemistry (Larsen II). Additionally, Larsen writes that she attended Hunter College in the fall of 1933 and graduated in 1937 with highest honors, obtaining a bachelor's degree in chemistry (Larsen III). Unfortunately, the gender discrimination that plagued society .......... came in the way of Gertrude's

Although the author’s grandmother joined the Nazi Party as part of a leadership group and wanted to restore Germany, it is difficult to believe that her grandmother was completely unaware of the Nazi party’s actives. Additionally, it is understandable that the author had a difficult time presenting her findings, since she was tormented by her discoveries of her grandmother’s past. Overall, I think Shattuck had a great lesson to share, which is to know the “importance of knowing better” (Shattuck
