The Sheep Car Complex By Thane Rosenbaum

The memories also play a dual role as they make the man hopeful yet they also scare him because he is afraid that through remembering things again and again he might taint his memories of the good times forever. “He thought each memory recalled must do some violence to its origins. As in a party game. Say the word and pass it on. So be sparing. What you alter in the remembering has yet a reality, known or not.” (McCarthy 51). The boy although carries on hoping even though all he has are memories of the polluted grey ashes that have always been falling from the sky, the ashes that he was born into. The child has no memories of a past world that held beauty and color and so he relies on his father’s accounts and stories of the past to imagine a world that was anything but the bleakness that he is so accustomed to. But the father, although mostly indulges to the child’s wishes, sometimes cannot bring himself to tell him made up stories of the past because as much as he wants to he cannot remember a lot of it and when he does remember it, it reminds of a world that is no more and that he does not know will ever come back into existence or not. “What would you like? But he stopped making things up because those things were not true either and the telling made him feel bad.” (McCarthy 22). Where at first the child believes the father’s accounts of heroes and stories of courage

“No matter how much you revisit the past, there's nothing new to see,” ~ author unknown (“Deep Quotes”). People think they could change what happened during WWII and the Holocaust by revisiting it. In reality they can’t, they have to live with what happened in the past. For example, Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto made a choice to start an uprising. However many times they look back it can’t change. The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was a deadly part of WWII that has many secrets that people don’t know with nothing being able to be changed.

Through its survivors, memories of the Holocaust live on today. During World War II, Nazi Germany was destined to exterminate all Jewish communities in occupied Europe in concentration camps. The remembrance of the Holocaust is resurrected in Elie Wiesel’s Night, where he proves to lose faith in God by evoking his feelings about the corruption of humanity.

Dzungar, Holodomor, Rwandan, Cambodians, Armenians, Circassian, Ottoman Greek, and the Jewish. All too many genocides. When will it stop? When will we learn? When will we stop forgetting about the past and when will the history books end the patterns of war and death? When? The survivors share their stories, but do we listen? Elie Wiesel was a fifteen year old boy with the a life ahead of him, when his religion, following Judaism, made him a target in Adolf Hitler's extermination plans. He was only a boy. He had done nothing wrong, absolutely nothing, yet his life had been ended before it began. From Auschwitz to Birkenau to Buna to Gleiwitz and Gleiwitz to Buchenwald. Wiesel endured separation and starvation, to survive the brutality of the Jewish Holocaust that left millions of others dead. Individuals with lives, with hopes, with dreams, suffering with no end, and losing everything upon survival. Adults, children, elderly, everyone one of them innocent. As individuals living without these threats we cannot empathize for the horror stories we hear, since we have no personal connection, we can only sympathize for them. With no personal connection to the events, it is sure that we will forget Wiesel, but why do we forget? Because humans are imperfect beings? How do we stop erring and forget the mistakes that have preceded us? Humans struggle to understand that the mistakes of one individual do not define those similar to them. If human can attempt to

Writer, Elie Wiesel in his metaphorical speech “The perils of Indifference” argues that the future will never know the agony of the Holocaust and they will never understand the tragedy of the horrific terror in Germany. Wiesel wants people to not let this happen but at the time many modern genocides that are occurring and people shouldn’t be focused on just the Holocaust, they should focus on making this world a better place; moreover, Wiesel expresses his thoughts about all the genocides that has happen throughout the years. He develops his message through in an horrifying event that took place 54 years ago the day “ The perils of Indifference” was published. Wiesel illustrates the indifferences of good vs evil. He develops this message

Events in the past are preserved through photographs, writings and libraries. Can memories conserve the historical occurrence to the present? The theory of memory transmission states that a “massive trauma experienced by a group in the historical past can be experienced by an individual living centuries later who shares a similar attribute of the historical group” (Balaev 151). In the story “Cattle Car Complex” by Thane Rosenbaum, Adam Posner is a second generation survivor of the Holocaust. He displays symptoms of post-trauma when stuck in an elevator. Mr. Posner’s parents were prisoners of concentration camps and their memories transmit to him “so deeply as to seem to constitute memories” of his own (Hirsch 1). The Holocaust is a “Nazi Judeocide”

Dolly the sheep was cloned by Ian Wilmut and partners at Roslin Establishment. Dolly was conceived on the fifth of July in 1996.Dolly was made through a procedure called Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer.The procedure of somatic cell atomic transplant includes two distinct cells. The first being a female gamete, The second being a somatic cell. The nucleus of the donor egg cell is expelled and disposed of, making it "deprogrammed." The nucleus of the physical cell is likewise evacuated however is kept the substantial cell is disposed of. What is left is a solitary physical nucleus and an 'enucleated egg cell' or a cell that has had it's nucleus removed. These are then combined by embedding the somatic nucleus into the nucleus. In the wake of being

Lastly, another fascinating thing about the Holocaust is whether or not people have moved on from the Holocaust and considered it ‘old news’ in today’s world. Many people believe that in today’s world, we have moved on from the holocaust and considered it ‘old news’. In my opinion we have definitely not moved on or forgotten the Holocaust, how could we? The Holocaust was such a catastrophic event that changed the world forever. It will never be forgotten. In many ways the Holocaust is so disturbing but I’m glad to know about it. Hitler was wrong for killing the Jews because all people should be treated the same. It’s horrible how no one back then knew anything. And even though some did have their suspicions, they never did anything...the whole thing is sick, horrible, and terribly sad. Centuries from now people will still remember the Holocaust because it was a major event in history when millions of Jews and others were murdered, there for it will never be forgotten. We need to remember the

Ultimately, the effects of the Holocaust will never be forgotten. The souls of millions were never

At the age of ten, I was honored to light a memorial candle at the New Jersey Statehouse during its Kristallnacht commemoration. As I walked down to light the candle, I tried to grapple with how the Holocaust impacted me. I was quite aware of my Mother’s study and teaching of the subject. Additionally, I knew of the semi-distant family members who were killed during the Holocaust. Despite this understanding, it was extremely difficult for me to truly understand the horrors of the genocide. Even when I performed Holocaust research a few years later, it was still difficult. The concentration and death camps alongside the ghettos were monuments of the horrors of a distant history. While only more than half a century old, there seemed to always be a distance between myself and what occurred. My knowledge and experience did not elevate the Holocaust from being a subject of study to shipping my basic fundamentals.

Dolly the sheep was the world's first mammal cloned from an adult cell. This instantly sparked controversy in the science community. Although the creators of this fuzzy friend had the intentions of manipulating a genetically young celled animal, Dolly had the older cells of an adult. When Dolly was 6 years old, she needed to be euthanized. Concerns were raised that lung disease was being caused by her older cells; she also had premature arthritis, which usually only shows up in sheep that are 11 or 12 years old. What if instead of animals we replaced Dolly with a human. Would this be the same issue? This then brings up the argument on whether clones are diminishing the uniqueness of an individual, not letting people develop socially, or if the

formed into what the adult sheep was causing the word to lose its mind over

Whether Mark likes it or not, The Holocaust becomes central to how he comes to term with how his own personal identity, and how it is to be shaped. It later becomes the enforcer of the

Through times of pain and suffering a will to do good is born and as long as the Holocaust is remembered we can always hope it will never happen again. Lessons to be learned from the Holocaust are only a few of the lessons that history can teach us. But it’s not the lessons that can be learned that are important, but the lessons that are learned. The lessons listed are but a miniscule amount of what the Holocaust can teach though the lessons that a person learns depends not on what is taught but who the subject is taught to. Everyone is different and it being so everyone shall be able to find something different in the history of the world that they believe is a lesson of great of importance to themselves and the people around

The Holocaust has ambiguity in holding lessons, which appear endless. It is a reinforce the justification of the idea that the past holds lessons to learn. It enforced the idea that if we do not learn the lesson it is at our peril. However, this is no universal lesson to glean from the Holocaust, that is convincing enough to justify the current obsession of studying it. Rather, it is the collective memory of oppression and the specter of comparison, that has made us chose to believe that is a universal lesson to be learned.
