It reunited the family on Saturdays in the afternoon, Leah sits in front of her family, Aaron and his wife, Ruth, Issac and Martha his wife, her grandchildren and her brothers Elias and Jacob.
Aaron says to his uncles, Elijah and Jacob:
Yesterday afternoon I brought to mom this box I found in the antique furniture inherited from Aunt Ester. ¿Why Aunt Esther kept all this time and almost hidden this box? The reason of this mom don’t tell and
¿what importance had the objects inside the box? -And asked:
Are those objects related to your life in Paris when were children? – !! Yes uncles! -Grandma! Please, tell us how it’s your life in Paris, exclaimed Ruth- Aaron, youngest daughter.

The events occurred years ago, and for myself isn’t a forgotten history.
Save or discard memories I haven’t chosen; just the reminiscence of that time hidden in my memory. ¿Why reason we’ve never talked over this? ¿Why Aunt Esther hid this box?
At the time of our flight from Paris, we’re children, after the arrest of the grandfather and our mother. When arrived to Geneva and Aunt Esther and her family surrounded us with love and tried to forget what ourselves passed, for them and for us discuss it’s both too sad and

Our family life in Paris, it’s a forbidden topic, required to hide. We never speak and discussed within the family of Aunt Esther and Uncle Samuel our life in Paris before the War. The horror, fear and anxiety suffered when fled, wandering half territory of France, abandoned, with the only hope of being able to reach Geneva. Maybe for them, we’re only children and don’t understand or realize what happened. The box with all those objects of us that Aunt Esther kept all this time almost hides is to attempt to erase from our memories the painful episode of our childhood.
Now the situation has changed the world for decades has realized the immensity of the Holocaust, and the French government has acknowledged its responsibility to deport the French Jews. Perhaps late, it’s time, to tell my sister Leah my nephews and their families over what happened in Paris and our struggle to survive the Nazi persecution.
Let me tell you my account without hatred or resentment, rather with love to the family of Aunt Esther and Uncle Samuel that in 1944 received us and since then they loved us as their children. With gratitude to people who by their love, courage and generosity helped us escape from the

    World War II was and still is the most deadly war of all time, leaving 60 million people dead and countless others injured. It involved several nations, but left an impression on almost all nations worldwide. One word that often resonates from the thought of World War II is “holocaust.” It is something that, to this day, is taught in schools and is an important, yet tragic part of history. There are multiple famous pieces of literature that capture just how horrendous this war was, and some of the most impactful pieces are the ones written at the time of the war from someone’s perspective. Readers are able to view Paris just as it was during World War II through Irene Nemirovsky’s Suite Francaise. This book depicts what life was like in France in the 1940s, and…

    I have a couple of questions that had not been answered in your marvelous book. How did your experience from the Holocaust affect your life today? What was your reaction when you saw yourself in the mirror after you were liberated? Do you ever wish that you can seek revenge on the Nazi’s who performed these awful actions towards the Jews? What is the one thing that you regret doing while surviving the Holocaust. After surviving the Holocaust, what is your current view, opinion, or thoughts about other genocides such as the situation in Rwanda? My final question is, At what moment in the concentration camp did you ever feel like you were sure to die? Thank you very much for your effort and time to read my letter. Overall, your bravery during the concentration camp and strive for survival conveyed in your book has affected many lives in a positive…

    The Jews had to endure so much for many years. They were separated from their families, starved, and beaten. Even today, we keep all the Jews who lost their lives in the Holocaust in our hearts and in our prayers. I hope this paper was a good source of information on the Holocaust, and about the brave survivor Agnes Tennenbaum. We will continue to tell the story of what the Jewish had to endure, and of the tragedies of the…

    After bringing us into the peaceful settings of a child’s world, both authors send us plummeting into deep thought. Dove does so by abruptly letting us know that this grandfather is no longer alive but his memory or “hands” still exist in our minds as it did when it was written in this 5th grader’s autobiography. What does this say about her grandfather’s existence and death? Perhaps that recording it through a photo or even the writing of a 5th grader, it has become eternal. This pushes us to think about the sheer power of writing our…

    I am not sure if you recall who I am. My name is Maria your former servant. I am writing you this letter regarding the offer I made you about having you and your family being able to stay and live with me while the holocaust is going on. I have a safe secret place where you and your family can take refuge at. Don’t worry about needing to supply food and water for your family, I am willing to provide it. The reason that I am offering you this is because you and your family were wonderfully kind to me while I served you. Also if I don’t offer a helping hand I fear that you and your family will go through horrific situations and be separated just as other Jewish families were.…

    The Younger’s believe that family is important whether they say it out loud or throughout their actions. In the story Ruth finds out that she is expecting a baby. She contemplates an abortion, not because she wants to, because she worries about the extra burden she would bring to the family that she already has. Mama does not like the idea, her children are her life; she refers to them as her "harvest." So when Ruth tells her what she plans to do Mama understands, but discontent with Ruth’s decision. Mama eventually convinced Ruth to reconsider her decision when she reveals that she purchased a ‘new beginning’ a home. Ruth recovers from this revelation and regains her earlier radiance, shouting, “GOODBYE MISERY” (page 94) and expressing her joy at the prospect of leaving the cramped apartment. Holding her abdomen, Ruth recognizes the possibility that the “life” she is bearing “pulses with happiness not despair” (page 94)…
