The Imagination In Ms. Bernstein's Life
The imagination I come across all starts with Ms. Bernstein’s, her whole life is pretty much what the book is about not just the Holocaust. In my opinion it made her personal experiences so real. Ms. Bernstein’s talks about her childhood, schooling, family and how she traded. Ms. Bernstein’s was very detailed about her tragedies. The only thing I didn’t like about the book was that Ms. Bernstein was very detailed during her horrific experiences. The pain in my daughter’s eyes that I encountered the nights I would see her get broodily beated took such a tool on me. If you can only imagine the pain and embarrassment I felt by not being able to help Sara while they beat her made me feel so much less of a person the soldiers made us already

    Binjamin Wilkomirski's Fragments Book Report

    “Wilkomirski has conducted virtually no serious research into his past in Switzerland--- which is indeed amazing in light of his claim of an exchange of children on Swiss soil” (*author’s last name267). Everyone has a rough sense of what happened during the Holocaust. From a normal reader’s perspective, the most interesting parts of the book are the details of life and mental activity of the survivor during the Holocaust period. However, Wilkomirski didn't give us reliable facts, and he does not even have basic research, which hurts the reader’s feelings significantly and lowers the value of the…

    AP World History Book Report: Elie Wiesel's Night

    Elie Wiesel's Night is a terrifying account of the Nazi death camp horrors that turned between 11 to 17 million people into agonized witnesses to the deaths of their families and friends. I chose this book to read because I had heard from numerous people that it was "the best book about the Holocaust I could ever read" . I read it and found out that it went into much more detail than some of the other Holocaust books I had read. This book was extremely powerful as it awakened me to the terror that many people went through during the Holocaust at the concentration camps. I found the book to be incredibly addicting and easy to read.…

    Summary: Important To The Fury

    “Never shall I forget the little faces of the children, whose bodies turned into wreaths of smoke beneath a client blue sky” he experience the violence first hand himself going through the camps and hell to this very day he still had that number that defined him on his arm reminding him of the horrid every time he looks at it (Wiesel 1). Mass human suffering occurs in every generation, thousands of people all over the world trying to capture every moment. Most would believe the books written will be all nonfiction giving out straight facts of the world event. It will have unrealistic people who actually went through the event but will give you a real life example of what actually may occurred or occurred to those people or environment. The…

    Book Review: The Henna House

    The Holocaust was only the biggest one yet. I believe that the author was trying to point out the other anti-semitic motions during the 1940s building up to the Holocaust. It was way for her to say, “This wasn’t the first time.” I also believe she was trying to put an interest in the Holocaust again. After all, we must remember history or it shall repeat itself. Today, I think that we have already began to stop talking about the Holocaust. After all, when was the last serious discussion happened about it? 3rd grade? After all, “to forget the Holocaust is to kill twice.”…

    Identity And Family In Milkweed By Jerry Spinelli

    Misha finds friends and an adopted family, then loses them all one by one to the Nazi soldiers he once admired.Misha has never known his own family, but is adopted by a band of boy thieves, then later by a young Jewish girl and her family. These relationships enrich his life, but also put him in danger and give him a heartbreaking firsthand view of the cruelties of the holocaust. The ending gets a little strange as the adult Misha seems to lose his mind for a while, but I think it's probably how most of the survivors were like. Identity and family are strong themes in the book, and in the end Misha finally finds both. Although most of the characters in this book are fictional, Dr. Janusz Korkzac was a real person. He is a very minor character in this book, but knowing his full story really makes the brief mentions of him interesting. Dr. Korkzac was a highly respected psychologist who ran an orphanage and published a mountain of work on how children in any situation could be raised with love and dignity. Although he was not Jewish, he refused to leave his orphans when they were sent to the ghetto, and later to a concentration camp where his life was ended. It's a touching story, and one that should be told more…

    Perception Of The Holocaust In Elie Wiesel's 'Night'

    The book Night by Elie Wiesel has changed my perception of the holocaust. For example in the book when Elie Wiesel ,a major character in the book, and his family were ordered to walk to the station, where a convoy of cattle cars were waiting for them.(pg.22) The hungarian police made them climb into the cattle cars with eighty people in each cattle car with very little food and water, is when my mind changed. When I learned that there were eighty people in a cattle car it first sounded impossible, then I felt even more sympathetic for holocaust victims . Another example in the book of when my perception of the holocaust had changed is when Elie and his father were put into cattle cars for the second time, they could fit a hundred per car.…

    Use Of Repetition In The Holocaust

    Authors on multiple occasions use variety of techniques to grab the audience's attention, or they either just try to simply keep the reader entertained at all times. Authors use techniques such as repetition, symbolism and also the use of emotions. With these techniques not only are they engaging the reader in what they are reading but also they are giving suspense towards what will happen further on in the story. I deeply believe that authors use these techniques to engage the reader's attention in the happenings of the holocaust.…

    The Pianist Analysis

    The film is based on the memoirs of Wladyslaw Szpilman, this is a true story of what this man went through during Hitler’s reign. I feel like the plot of this film immediately sets it up to convey the information in a factual but emotive way, although because it is a memoir it also leaves it open to withhold a lot of information that might not be know and because they didn’t want to make parts of the story up they left the audience with quite a few unanswered questions.…

The planes symbolized that there is no safe place if your country is ruled by an evil dictator that wants war with everyone. But when Helmuth is with his friends he feels better and not in much harm.

    Personal Narrative: Life After World War II

    It was the year of ‘39 and I was at the train station awaiting my train, being transported to the training camp. I remember the constant feeling of shaky legs as my mother kissed me on my forehead. As her little boy was getting deployed off to an unholy war, she weeped. She weeped as she held my hand to the station, and she weeped as she wiped my tears.…

    Museum of Tolerance

    The whole story of the Holocaust is a very sad and depressing. When you first enter the museum, each person is given a passport with a picture of a child on it. Each child was involved in the Nazi rule and had their life forever altered because of it. As you go through the exhibits, you learn about the child and what happens to them throughout the Holocaust. At the end of this exhibit, you put your passport into a machine, and it tells you what happened to the child that you had. The one that I had was only six years old, and she didn't make it. There is one exhibit that is called "The Hall of Testimony". This is where you can hear the stories of the Holocaust survivors. There are also artifacts and documents that this museum withholds. It has actual copies of letters from Anne Frank. It's amazing that there are actual real documents that were able to be saved from this time. There are also images of the bunk beds that people were ordered to sleep in while they were in the death camps. The living conditions weren't by any standard, reasonable. The whole section of the museum made me appreciate the life that I live.…

    Journey To America Analysis

    This story has made me think about all the people have made many sacrifices to serve and protect this country from within the military. It makes me think about all the brave men and women who took a leap and choose to enter the military to give their lives to service and who are willing to enter a war to protect the freedoms that we pride ourselves upon in this country. It makes me reflect upon the hardships that those who are fighting to protect this nation are facing and what they must overcome to accomplish the missions they were sent out to do. This story shows that life for them isn’t easy and there is struggle, tears, and bloodshed that comes with their job. It reminds me how thankful we should be for what they do and how much of their…
