Once arriving to America they did their best to assimilate my grandmother had no idea that her parents where not American until she was a teenager.

    Elli: Coming Of Age In The Holocaust

    The book Elli: Coming of Age in the Holocaust provides much information on what happened during this time. It is a biography by Livia E. Bitton Jackson. Livia Jackson was thirteen when she was taken to Auschwitz. After liberation, she completed high school in displaced person camps in Germany. In 1951, she traveled to the U.S. on a refugee ship and completed her higher education, later receiving a Ph.D. from N.Y.U.

    Holocaust Memorial Museum: Parallel Journeys

    Parallel Journeys was a book that I bought several years ago while attending the Belfer II Conference at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. At the time, I was in the process of trying to develop a syllabus for a Holocaust Literature elective course at my high school; and, after speaking with many Mandel Fellows, I decided to purchase certain books (at their recommendations) to review as possible inclusions for my course. As we know, time tends to be something precious and fleeting, and this particular book remained on my shelf as a "want to read." Eventually, I read Parallel Journeys, reviewed the book for the Mandel Fellowship Program, and now offer my perspective as a rural North Carolina high school teacher.…

    World War II: Jewish Children's Struggle

    Although life was bad for Jewish adults during WWII, it was harder for children to survive. They were forced into hard labor, put into hiding, and were the victims of of horrendous experiments. The Germans killed almost 1.5 million children in total, including a million Jews, thousands of Romani kids, and mentally and physically disabled children. Children were killed when arriving in camps, killed immediatly after birth, were hidden in camps, put to work in hard labor, used for medical experiments, and killed during anti-partisan operations.…

    Anchor Babies Research Paper

    Many people feel it’s not fair that these "illegals" are receiving federal and state benefits that they don't deserve. When this child is born, the child automatically receives many benefits if he/she is an anchor baby. Their parent is illegal and cannot work and so they apply for food stamps and many other governmental programs. These anchor babies are a burden on schools, hospitals, taxpayers, and so on. "If there's abuse in the system where , pregnant women are coming in to have babies simply because they can do it, then there ought to be greater enforcement," Said President Bush "That's [the] legitimate side of this. Better enforcement so that you don't have these, you know, 'anchor babies,' as they're described, coming into the country."…

    Personal Narrative: My Visit To A Jewish Synagogue

    Religion is one of the factors that help to maintain balance in the world. There are many religions in this world. Every religion has its own beliefs and ways of following it. Religions may vary in many aspects. While some religions may have the same beliefs, some will have the exact opposite beliefs. I come from a place where even though there are many religions found I get to observe and practice only my own religion. Even if people are open about different religions, one religion being involved in another is not acceptable for my society. This is one of the reasons why I have always been curious about other religions and their ways of following and practicing it. This is why when I got a chance to go to a Jewish Synagogue as a part of a religious service…

    Personal Narrative: Being Born In A Third World Country

    In conclusion, being born in a third world country is burden for most but I use it to my advantage. It has given me a better understanding of the world. When I moved away from Ethiopia, I constantly thought about my family. I felt like I had lost something that was a part of me. As time went by, I became somber thinking about all the things I took for granted. I constantly thought about all pleasant things that I had the pleasure of enjoying in Ethiopia that I no longer get to. But over time, I learned how to use that wistful energy to become a driving force for my success. I have so loads of dreams and I aspire to do great things. No matter what, I will never forget my birthplace. I can tell you my quest wasn’t effortless, but I have to keep…

    Jewish Diaspora

    The early modern period was a definite time of transition for the Jewish community. As they were being expelled from major countries in the west such as Spain and Portugal, the Jewish diaspora travelled east. Poland-Lithuania soon became a new center for the Jews that were infinitely better than other areas of settlement such as the Ottoman Empire. There are three distinct reasons that separated Polish-Lithuania from other areas in Europe. First, the Jews experienced some sense of religious freedom and tolerance. Moreover, the Jews quickly became an integral part of the economy creating a niche in which they were valued and indispensable. Lastly, because of their education and economic skills, they were able to form their own community equipped with a quasi government system. Because of these factors, Poland-Lithuania was viewed “as good as it gets” in the early modern period.…

    Holocaust Deportation Analysis

    “I glanced around and saw no familiar faces. Handcuffs strangled my wrist. I am being transported to a place that I know I won't survive. Danger surrounds me. My intense fear is enough to consume me into the nothingness.ーNothingness is starting to feel familiar because on the way here that's what I’ve been told I am, nothing. I still do not know how this happened. One minute I was living my dream and the next minute they want to get rid of me for something I can not control. Everything is bunched up in my brain and I can't tell what year it is. Can you help? Is it 1993 or 2017?” ー These are the thoughts that might linger through the minds of those that are being deported. History took on a different form and made its way into our current reality.…

    Personal Narrative: The Immigrant Child

    The day started off as any normal day. My mother woke me up and said “we must go.” Her voice sounded very urgent for what I thought was just a trip to the grocery store. My mom laid my outfit on my bed and packed by book bag; that’s when I figured out that I was starting school. I wasn’t entirely oblivious to the fact that I was going to familiarize myself with a completely different environment, but I just thought I had a little more time to prepare. Well, it turns out that I was wrong. You see, I wasn’t your average pre-schooler who was nervous about making friends. I was the immigrant child who had never spoken a word of English.…

    Judaism Essay

    “Jewish would have to make offerings to God for many things. For the Sin offering, you must bring a bull with no defects and present it to the Lord at the entrance of the Tabernacle, lay his hand on the bull’s head, and slaughter it before the Lord. Then the high priest will take some of the bull’s blood into the tabernacle, dip his finger and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord in front if the inner curtain of the sanctuary. The priest will then put some of the blood on the horns of the alter for fragrant incense that stands in the Lord’s presence inside the Tabernacle. He will pour the rest of bull’s blood at the base of the alter for burnt offerings at the entrance of the Tabernacle. Then the priest must remove all the fat of the bull to be offered as a sin offering.”…
