Hitler was like a god in her eyes, though a stab of jealousy shot through her heart at the thought of his reuniting with

During her talk, Ethel Sternberg said that it made her very happy when students took her memories and stored “it in the back of their heads.” Her words directly relate to Charlotte Delbo’s differentiation between common and deep memory and how this impacts readers of the Holocaust. Common memory refers to works that are a factual retelling and more importantly, leave the reader undisturbed by the work. On the other hand, deep memory leaves an impression and affects the reader in some capacity. One

Luck seems to influence many parts of people’s lives. However, without making smart choices at the right time, luck does not happen just by chance.

There were many leaders in the Waffen-SS, such as Heinrich Himmler, Joseph Dietrich, Paul Hausser, Theodor Eicke, Felix Steiner, Kurt Meyer and Joachim Peiper.
