    The ghetto was where the Nazis send all the remaining Jews to live in. It was located on the outskirts of Germany. Most Jews had to watch their families and friends die in front of them. They were done watching people getting killed in front of them. On September 1942 the United Partisan Organization was formed in the Vilna ghetto. They built a secret headquarters and weapon factory in a basement that was hidden from the Nazis, mapped all alleys and cellars while traveling without being detected. They stocked guns and taught new members on how to fight and use a grenade. A little while later they gathered more than 200 fighters. Near the beginning of September, 1943 the Jews heard that the ghetto was going to be destroyed and decided to attack when the German soldiers arrive. On September 23rd, 1943 the Nazis…

    The Holocaust was a very tragic and horrifying event in history that changed human minds forever. Millions of Jews died in this event, because of mass murders and death camps. Adolf Hitler was a very cruel, but persuasive leader of Germany. He turned many people against the Jewish by blaming the loss of World War I on them. Adolf started to send Jews to concentration and death camps, so Jews hid. Many Jews went into hiding, such as, Jeannine Burk. During her childhood she hid for two years from the Nazi. However, she hid by herself in a stranger’s house and didn’t receive attention and love. Jeannine had to stay away from her family, and the only friends she had were imaginary.

    During the late 1930’s the world was contaminated by the Second World War and the Holocaust. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, Holocaust is defined as follows: “a sacrifice wholly consumed by fire.” During the Holocaust, the Nazis, under the command of Adolf Hitler, liquidated over six million Jews. There is one Jewish survivor whose story especially touched my heart and changed my attitude towards life for the better. This amazing woman is Krystyna Chiger. Krystyna and her family escaped the Nazi liquidation by living in sewers for fourteen months (qtd. in “The Girl in the Green Sweater” 5). Accordingly, thorough assessments of my personal experiences according to the life lessons of Krystyna Chiger descriptively visualize the Holocaust and its everlasting impact on society.…

    The Ghettos were temporary housing provided by the German government, used as a barrier between the Jews and the rest of the population. The living conditions were miserable. For example, Warsaw, the largest Ghetto, housed over 400,000 Jews but only covered 1.3 square miles. Usually the houses were very small and filled with multiple families. The law enforced strict curfews and laws resulting in death if broken. The housing was filthy and unsuitable for adequate living, which usually resulted in large numbers of death by disease. The Nazis saw the Jews as inferior and treated them like animals. The Ghettos emphasized how much the Jewish people were affected by dehumanization.…

    April 19, 1943 marked the beginning of The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, the first civilian revolt against Nazis in occupied Europe (“A fighter” N. Pag.). The Warsaw Ghetto was one of the largest Jewish ghettos and held 400,000 Jews (“A fighter” N. Pag.). Intended to be a birthday present for Hitler, German forces aimed to kill all of the Jews residing in the ghetto (“A fighter” N. Pag.). This uprising began small, but thousands of valorous Jews joined once the revolt began. The ghetto fighters knew they did not stand a chance, as the Nazis’ weapons were more effective, but the Jews managed to hold off the Germans for thirty-three days (“A fighter” N.Pag.). On May 8, 1943 the Nazis burned down hundreds of ghetto homes including the resistance headquarters…

    In several instances, as Vladek recounts, the Nazis would leave notes or make announcements about certain groups of people that would soon be transported to another area, or that needed to be “registered.” These notes given to the Jewish families made the area a specific group would “relocate to” seem magnificent--an obvious lie for readers--but these so-called relocations all led to the same place: Auschwitz. For example, when the Spiegelman’s receive a notice from the Germans, they believe that those over seventy-years-old will be relocated into a nice home, “‘All Jews over 70 years old will be transferred to Theresienstadt in Czechoslovakia on May 10, 1942…” “It doesn’t look too bad!” “Like a convalescent home”’ (86). After sending Vladek’s wife’s grandparents away, the Spiegelman’s heard that “they went right away to Auschwitz, to the gas” (87). This approach of suppressing the Jewish populations demonstrates a type of divide and conquer. The Nazis were able to take certain Jews and supervise them, before being taken to their deaths. Ultimately, this division of families caused great agony and anguish among each family member. Anja, Vladek's wife, bespeaks this suffering and distress upon understanding that her nephew will be transported to Auschwitz next as she cries, “‘My whole family is gone! Grandma and Grandpa! Poppa! Momma! Tosha! Bibi! My Richiev!!…

    Growing up, Kinski lived a life of poverty as the youngest of four children, and was forced to steal in order to feed himself and his family. He was in constant trouble with the law, which caused him to develop a lack of understanding and disrespect for authority. Living in poverty also festered a troubled familial structure and background. As a young boy, Kinski’s mother constantly threw screaming fits due to being unable to deal with the hardships of her family’s abysmal living conditions, many times to the point where she would literally collapse. At one point, after his family was evicted from an apartment due to his mother’s sewing machine causing too much noise, Kinski’s mother took an overdose of sleeping pills. Fortunately, she survived the ordeal, but only after having her stomach pumped out. Shortly thereafter, when Kinski was still only a child, his father abandoned their family, leaving him with his mother, brother, and two sisters.…

    Throughout history families have been negatively impacted due to political oppression. Similarly in the case of The Chrysalids families that have a member with a deformity, are often forced to either kill their loved one or move to the fringes. The religious prejudice that people have on blasphemies, changed the life of Sophie Wender; a young girl that has six toes since birth. Sophie was forced to leave Waknuk and start a new life in the fringes, after her secret was revealed. Negatively changing her entire family’s lifestyle. This incident is identical to the holocaust. Near the early 1940s many Jews went into hiding for years, trying to save themselves and their families from the wrath of the Nazi’s. This had a negative impact on their lives, similar to Sophie, as they were forced to leave their homes and start a new life from nothing. Both cases show how lives change when a family is forced to flee into hiding.…
