The Wailing Wall Book Report
This story is a one that is heartwarming to me. I am happy for Mr. Moshe and his fellow Holocaust survivors to have be able to go through a important celebration in Jewish tradition. Many of these people had their childhood taken from them too early, and now they are finally able to celebrate this. I thought the fact that the Israeli soldiers had saluted the survivors was touching. The survivors got to have their bar and bat mitzvah in jerusalem, at the Wailing Wall, which is a important city in Jewish religion. When Mr. Moshe shared his story, and the teddy bear, i was tearing up a bit.

    How Does Elie Wiesel Change In Night

    In the memoir “Night” by Elie Wiesel, a young Jewish boy during the time of the Holocaust talks about all of his experiences during these horrific events and everything that he has gone through, being stripped from everything but his father and barely managing to survive everyday in the harsh conditions. He was separated from his family and from his friends too, most of whom he will not see after the first separation of men and women, ever.

    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…

    Summary Of The Bielski Brothers: A Family Of Jews In The Holocaust

    Where they would make them do hard work, so much that they would die. And if they didn’t died working, either way they would killed them, without a reason. That was the perspective from what the Germans did, however I didn’t knew how hard the Jews fight for their life, and all the things they did outside the concentration camp in order to survive. For example, they even had to cross a lake that was immense, they didn’t know how deep it was going to be, or if there would be something in the water like some type of snake or something. The only thing they wanted was to survive, and they were able to go across the lake, with all the bags and weapons they had. Also how all of them worked together to survive, for instance, when they crossed the lake, they tied all the belts together. Therefore they were able to grab it and go all together, so they wouldn’t get lost, or drown. How the Jews were able to build houses, nurseries, and a school into the woods, and live for more than two years there. They had to overcome many things in order to survive, and they never lost hope. Last of all, this story changed my perspective of the Holocaust, to that the Jews were really strong, all the things they went through, and how they were able to overcome many of their…

    ¨How does one mourn for six million people who died? How many candles does one light? How many prayers does one recite? Do we know how to remember the victims, their solitude, their helplessness? They left without a trace, and we are their trace,¨ (Elie Wiesel). Millions dead, 1.5 million were children; they were tortured and starved to death. Some say that nobody really died, that the genocide didn't happen, that the Holocaust didn't exist. However, Evidence proves those few people wrong. The Holocaust did happen, and went it ended it took millions of people down with it. Scarred for life, the survivors have shared their war stories and have shared their grief with the world. Never again will they be able to close their eyes without seeing…

    This amazing story of survival and dysfunction, of imagination and rationalization, and of shear ingenuity is a testimony to the flexibility and beauty of children. Jeannette Walls’ true story flashes back through a childhood with crazy addicted parents (the father to alcohol; the mother to art and idealism and the father) who raised three children in spite of recurrent poverty, nomadic tendencies, and a heritage of rebellion.…

    My grandparents were both in Auschwitz and barely managed to survive, loosing almost all of their relatives and family members. Overall in the Jewish community, the Holocaust is told through a purposive narrative as well, meaning it is taught and talked about to an almost excessive manner. It is most widely recognized through the story of Anne Frank; through her personal journey and experiences, people are able to connect with the violence on a deeper level after having seen a young girl experience it, thereby generating a sense of empathy from those who fail to be able to fathom the occurrence. Another example of this can be found within multiple museums in the United States, Israel, and Germany that display shoes of victims, their names and pictures, as well as the saying "Never Forget." By creating such a strong narrative about the atrocities of the genocide, it attempts at mourning for the lost while projecting a bright hope for the future in the belief that people will never forget what happened, therefore never allowing it to occur again. Israel can be seen as the homeland that all Jews strive to visit or live, which is a supportive structure as depicted in the purposive narrative by Skultans. “Making habitable memories out of inhabitable truths” (Warren Lecture…

    From this lecture, I learned more than I thought I would. I knew some things from the holocaust since I took German in high school, and have covered the holocaust in other classes I’ve attended. However, hearing a personal story from someone who experienced the holocaust first hand was eye opening. I know my attitude towards the situation would be more hostile than what the Bornstein family was. Overall, I can say the event and watching the film has given me more of an understanding of the whole situation between the Nazi’s and the…

    How Did The Holocaust Affect Society Today

    For many people, the Holocaust caused them to lose their friends, families, homes and jobs and for most others, it cost them their lives. We know that the first generation of survivors actually experienced the Holocaust and lived through the hardships but what many people don’t know is that the Holocaust still lives on today, in the stories held in people’s hearts, told to them by parents or grandparents. Another question we must ask ourselves is the youth of today being told the Jew’s story? Are they aware of the devastating event that took place in the years between 1933 and…

    The Holocaust taught us that we need to remember the ones that we have lost. It is important that we do remember them because if we don't it will happen again. The Holocaust is one of the worst things that has happened in Human history. We all have lost someone important to us. We don’t want any more innocent lives to be taken for their own religion and faith. As Elie Wiesel said, “To forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second…

    Dehumanization In Elie Wiesel's Night

    The Holocaust, what is the true depth of the word? As sad as it may seem, it affected the lives of millions because of the hate inside of one certain group of people, the Nazi's. Dehumanization is to deprive human qualities such as individuality or compassion. Victims of the Holocaust went through dehumanization simply to make the killing of others psychologically easy for the Nazi's.…

    Children of Gaza

    The war at Gaza affected so many innocent lives, including the children and also the pregnant women. After watching the interview I felt really sad for the children who got killed and also for those who got injured/wounded. Knowing that there were hundreds of children that died in Gaza, hurts me so much.There were over a thousand children living there before, but now it's only down to less than 350 children. The people in Gaza cannot take refuge in other countries, they are just stuck in their own country where death is almost a part of their everyday lives. Pregnant women couldn't even get the medical attention they really need. The hospitals are always full of injured people and sometimes they are lacking the room for pregnant women who needs to give birth. Another issue is that the power outtage happens often, the babies who are supported by machines are also in great danger. The children, pregnant women, and the babies are all affected by the war. The children shouldn't be affected by this, they can't even play, watch the television or even get a decent education. They don't have anything to do than to hide from all the danger that the outside world brings. The sad thing about this is that almost everybody will have this experience with them throughout their entire lives, they will have to live with it. I hope that the people in Gaza, and especially the children, can get through this and I hope they can recover. My prayers are always with…
