Gretel's Diary From Benedikt To The Nazi Party
a On March 15, 1942 There is a farmer with an undying loyalty to the Nazi party. When he was a small boy he had a very wealthy family. When the war broke out and it made lots of propaganda for Germany to influence. The propaganda influence them to sell the majority and give it to the Nazi party for support. They had to work on a farm and had radio for news. He was known as Benedikt. They lived in the woods farming for money. “Hey get your clammy hands off me sis!” Benedikt said. “Why you can’t handle mud from how delicate you think you are,” said Gretel. “No I just don’t like you touching during im working on the farm,” Benedikt barked . “You're just angry that we lost everything we had before,” Gretel snarled. “No I love the …show more content…

“You're the only good thing that happened to me after this,” Benedikt stuttered. “ I love the Nazi party but what my family did, and I love you Schmuel but just the other day I saw Nazi police and they killed a freezing Jew and left him. Benedikt said. I wish they didn’t keep things away from us. Well see you Schmuel.”

He walked over to his house and ate supper. He said goodnight to his parents and went to bed. He took off his overalls and put on his striped pajamas. He woke up on his daily duties and keep on talking to schmuel again and again until 2 weeks passed. One night he saw Nazi kill another person. He was very interested in what is happening so he decided to follow him. He moved silently through the moldy woods following the Nazi. He made sure to not get him alerted. He saw them walk into a camp of some sort. It made him very curious on what is inside. All he could he could see is that they were there with people in little shacks holding many of them. He thought they were staying per night. He decided to come back the night afterwards. He decided to come the day after to find out what is happening. He went back through the moldy trees and went back to his perfumed home. He went on to his daily duties and did many things for the family. He made sure to not forget to feed his pet mule. He told Schmuel about his plan of going out tonight and figure out what they are doing there. He didn't plan his

He had a plan to break in and try to help the people. After dinner he waited 2 hours and make it so that no one will know he is going out. Benedikt left the house with the shovel and went to the camp. He started to dig but then a Nazi came and grabbed him thinking he was a Jew because his pajamas look like the garments of prisoners. He took him in but before he did, he gave him a big beating for doing what he was doing. He was left with a black eye and badly hurt arm. He was put into concentration camps doing work. He was forced to sleep with them that night. When he woke up by the loud screams he was forced to get up and work for free like a slave.

“When did you get here a young boy like you,” a person said “I got here last night to see how it was and I wanted to help you out.” Benedict exclaimed. “ Why I thought you were trying to make us suffer with deep despair,” the random person stated. “ Why would we do that we were told Jews were bad they never said anything about killing them and making them into slaves,” Benedict puzzled said. “ Were all tired, the food is cold, it's not even fresh, and everyone here is oily,” said the person. “ What a terrible place to live like that it must be horrible living in these types of conditions for quite a while,” Benedict

    “News of the German defeats filled the Jewish prisoners with both hope and trepidation. Many feared that the SS would soon liquidate the camp and its remaining prisoners so that all evidence of their heinous crimes would be destroyed.”9 Those who were in the camp wanted a way to escape and tell someone of the war crimes that the German’s were committing. The revolt was staged by the “Organizing Committee,” which consisted of Dr. Julian Chorazycki, “camp elder” Marceli Galewski, former Czech army officer Zelo Bloch, Zev Kurland, and Jankiel Wiernik, a carpenter who worked in the extermination area.”10 Samuel was unaware that the staging of a revolt was about to occur. How Samuel found out was in a truly remarkable way. While he was stationed with an Austrian guard, and elderly man walks into the room he is in, already stripped down and about to be executed, pleaded out that there is a conspiracy being planned to escape, but the Austrian guard couldn’t understand him and proceeded to shoot the man in the head. Leading up the revolt, the committee was faced with a major setback. Chorazycki, who was charged with the task of acquiring arms from outside was caught by the deputy commandant and would eventually commit suicide to prevent any other information from escaping. After hearing news of a revolt in the Warsaw Ghetto from prisoners coming off the trains, their morale’s and…

    In his memoir, Night, Elie Wiesel showed that the Jewish people of Wiesel's hometown, Sighet, held on to illusions that gave them a false sense of hope and safety before their arrival at Birkenau. An example of this is when foreign Jews were expelled from Sighet crying, but the people of Sighet rumored that the deportees “were in Galicia, working” (6) and “were content with their fate” (6). When Moishe the Beadle, one of the deportees, managed to escape and come back he informed the people of the horrific fate the foreign Jews had endured under captivity of the Gestapo, German secret state police, who “shot [the] prisoners” (6), but people wrongfully concluded that “he had gone mad” (7). The Jews of Sighet also thought that “Hitler [would] not be…

    | The idea that the Germans weren't always harsh during that time baffles me. I always thought that the Germans were constantly beating down on Jews, and, even though they were for most of this historical time, this quote proves me wrong. There were times when they could be civilized and tolerant human beings. There was a belief during this time that the Germans and followers of the Germans believed that Jews were aliens, but I actually believe the Germans were the aliens. How they could go from being decent individuals, as stated in this quote, to being madmen who slaughter people for no good reason is utterly beyond me. The aliens must have taken over the minds of the Germans at this point in time. It's the only logical explanation...…

    The Nazi’s were ruthless executioners, although, when the Nazi’s first came to Sighet they were rather reassuring. They were housed in local homes and were welcomed into the Kahn’s, Elie’s neighbor, home. The Germans were seemingly polite and charming to their hosts, and, on some occasions, smiled at them. Then on the 7th day of Passover, the German’s turned on the Jews and arrested the Jewish leaders of their community. They forced the remaining people in the community to stay in their homes for three days. If they left, the penalty was death. Moishe the Beadle had warned the town’s people of this. He had told them stories about the horrors the Germans had committed, of being taken away into a forest and barely escaping death. Yet, when he came back to Sighet, no one believed him and disregarded his warnings. He had come running to Elie’s house and reminded them that he had warned them, and then left without a response. That same day, the Hungarian police burst unexpectedly into every Jewish home. They were told that Jewish people could no longer possess gold, jewelry, or any valuables. In the following days their merciless attacks on children, women, and the elderly fueled everyone’s anger. They were promptly forced to leave their ghetto to go to the small ghetto, and from there they were herded into cattle cars. There were at least 80 people per car, and the conditions of the cars…

    Imagine yourself being trapped in a small metal box that gradually constricts your body. It squeezes you until your very being caves in and you breathe one’s last. This is how isolation in concentration camps transforms your tranquil soul into a raving madman. Night, a memoir by holocaust survivor and professor, Elie Wiesel, paints the horrors of isolation and how its knives will carve away your flesh and hope until there’s nothing but a vile corpse. In order to avoid the assured effects of this ‘solitary confinement’ in the concentration camps, having loved ones were beneficial because they needed one another to talk to, keep each other strong, and predominantly to keep each other sane.…
