Personal Narrative: The Holocaust

My family and I hear banging and yelling at our door as we know who are visitors are, the Nazi’s. We are violently being pushed around as the soldiers yell into our ears making me feel almost deaf. I’m pushed away from my family as I see their faces of fear. I can see children crying and begging to soldiers for their parents as parents yelled and screamed back. We are taken to the camps that will be our new home for now. I finally get to meet up with my mother again as she puts her hands on my face. I hug my mother as we then are taken to get our new looks. My mother and I are taken to get our new clothing. Then they shove us to get our hair shaved off. A buzzer turns on and soon we are shaved. It’s so hard for me to look at my mother cry
The tattoos hurt as if ton of needles are jabbing into your skin. We then arrive in our camps we’re we are forced to lay while blankets rest on the floor. My mother and I hug each other for warmth and fall asleep on the cold hard floor. I have a hard time sleeping as I have so many thoughts running through my head. We are awaken by loud whistles and foot stomping as we have to get up to start working out in the field. I can see my mother having a hard time as she is not used to the environment and harsh work . The only thing that I can think about in the moment is the rest of my family. I can see other jewish woman like myself struggling but trying their best to not collapse on to the floor and start letting out their tears they have been holding in. best to not collapse on to the floor and start letting out their tears they have been holding in. We are taken back to our camps as I see a couple of men coming our way. I’m not sure of whom but I start to fear that something bad might happen to me and my mother.

The soldiers don’t seem to worry much as we then just stand waiting for them to take a move. This is a very scary moment for me and I all I could think about is if I were going to make it out here alive. They start to shoot as we take cover. They scream insults waiting for us to start shooting back at them. A Partisan stands up not thinking about his actions beforehand. He waits for the tall soldier to scream an insult at him as he points his gun at his head. Before the Partisan member could even shoot at the soldier, the other soldier was too quick for him and shot him right in the chest. This is the first time witnessing a death Aright in front of my own eyes. He fell to his back as his eyes opened widely and shut when he hit the floor. A puddle of blood formed around him when he hit the ground. That was a shocking moment for me. Before any other soldier tried to kill one of us, Ben stood up killing the soldiers all in a row. They all laid on the floor dead like the partisan that was shot in the chest.

Soon after the attack by the soldiers we made it back to the camps. We arrived as people jumped at us saying the war was over and Hitler committed Suicide. I was more then happy to hear the news I got. But I still did not feel right. I already know what it was that was not making me feel right. It was my family, they are the reason.
