Concentration Camp Diary Analysis
Being quiet during the time periods has gotten me thinking. Over my years not in hiding, I’ve talked and played with many people and never thought that all of that will be taken away from me. I should have written a diary for every event that occurred or my thinking, so that I would remember them clearly. Not only write it when my father gave me a diary. The only thing I remember was my best friend Jopie De Wall. She played Ping-Pong with me on of our tiny dates. It was very fun and I wished I still do it, but I can’t or else I can get transferred to a concentration camp. In case the Nazi finds us (I bet they won’t), I want to thank you Jopie for being there when I needed someone to play with. There is no way to repay the friendship you had

    It was January 2nd 1940, in a town called Berlin. The second World War has just started, and both sides were ready to fight. My family and i were hidden in sturdy attic tucked away from the Nazis, who were attacking us because we were jews The man who is letting us stay here is a “non-jew”, he seems very stern, but is actually quite nice.

My family and i are grateful, we know he is risking his life to protect ours.…

    Earl G. Harrison the commissioner of the INS was on a mission to find the perfect location for the establishment of the very first family camp. In his searching he came across government owned land in rural and isolated Crystal City, Texas. This old migrant camp was geographically the ideal location for the establishment of the family camp. The location was both strategically far enough from both the East and West Coast, and it was close enough to house the transported families from Latin America. On December 12, 1942, thirty-five German families that were being held at Ellis Island and Camp Forest entered the unfinished camp in Crystal City, the camp was officially opened.

    The Andersonville camp was an awful, murderous place for Union soldiers to be held prisoners in. It was established in Andersonville, Georgia by General John H. Winder and nearly 13,000 men died over the fourteen months the prison had been in operation. These Union prisoners suffered in the nasty condition of the camp and had little to no clothes, food rations and medical care. At the end of the Civil War, Captain Henry Wirz was questioned in court for committing crimes against humanity and was later executed after being labeled guilty by the court. However, Captain Henry Wirz did not commit any crimes against humanity in the Andersonville prison camp and should not have been punished with death due to the fact that he was only following the inhumane orders of General John H. Winder.…

During World War II over 140,000 prisoners were kept in Japanese’s camps. These camps took away the prisoners clothes, food and anything they have been carrying through-out the war. The prisoners who lived in these camps were contained by guards, the guards were cruel and abusive mentally and physically. These type of camps were often kept as a secret to the rest of the world. Prisoners were given jobs to do during the day to keep the busy and at the end of the day the lack of protein provided in the food is unreal.

    That also worked well in 1939 when we sent ships full of Jewish refugees, including Anne Frank, back to Germany to their deaths. Timothy McVeigh killed more people in Oklahoma than were killed in Paris. Did we put all white male gun nuts in internment camps? All of the French attackers were European Nationals, not Syrian refugees. France knows this, that's why they're taking in 30,000 Syrian refugees. I think I've got it. Christian good - non-Christian bad, white skin good - brown skin bad. Hang in there Mexicans, we'll get back to…

One reason that is stated is that “All Japanese look very much alike to a white person...” (Carnes 97).…

After being in the trenches day after day having the same thing happen over and over again you build a thick skin.…

    In many parts of America, there have been the controversy of who should be considered American. After listening to “Who is an American?” podcast by LatinoUSA, it brought attention to many listeners like myself of what it is meant to be an American. As stated in the podcast, “as identity begin to continue to evolve, many are left out of the picture”, in other words, there are many identities that may once been a part of a specific culture, but as time progress, they may not affiliate themselves with that culture anymore. A great example would be China and Taiwan. Taiwan was once part of China; however, they decided to separate themselves from China and become a country themselves, yet speaking…
