Hope I Homesick Anne Frank
For many year people have shown multiple ways to be heartless to other groups of human beings. Many groups of people have been mistreated horribly because of the way they look or what they believe in. Things like enslavement and capturing Jewish people is what history has made itself all because certain individuals wanted everyone to be as perfect as they think they are and if they weren't the should deserve the worst. It was a shameful thing to do to humans because of what they were but there was hope inside some of the mistreated groups of people. People like Anne frank and the child from the homesick poem had hope during those dark times. There was fear inside both these people but hope made it fade away.

The poem is told by a child that is unknown but they said on line 21, “But no one must give up.”-homesick poem. The author believed that we have to work hard and not give up we just can't and that's what made him hope for the best. Even though on line 18 where the author states “A place of evil and fear”, is what they live in. He didn't give up even when he states he lives in a place of evil and fear. On line 23 is say, “Yet we all hope time will come when we’ll go home again.” Mostly everyone in the concentration had hope that they would soon leave that horrible place filled with nothing but fear and evil.

Hope is not stronger than fear because more people would've fought back and standed up to each other. Fear was not the reason no one fought back the Germans took everything away from the Jews, what were they suppose to fight with. They had nothing not even a house to live in they were kept in camps where they were too weak to fight. Its only hope that kept them alive. People like Anne frank and the author who wrote homesick had hope in everyone. Anne had hope that they would soon leave that annex and the author from homesick had hope in

    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…

    While outside factors could play an important role in enhancing survival chances, many internal mechanisms played their part to allow the prisoners to deal with the trauma and horrors of their daily lives. No matter what phase of his experience a prisoner was going through, these mechanisms were used. One of these mechanisms was apathy that desensitised the prisoners and allowed him to cope with punishments and the terror of concentration camps. Other mechanisms, similar to apathy, detached the prisoner from his surrounding or distracted him from his suffering. Without these mechanisms a person's suffering would have been unbearable and would have lead to his certain death. While finding a meaning in life was important to survive and to withstand the trauma a prisoner experienced, other factors and mechanisms also played a very important role in the struggle for survival that all prisoners of concentration camps…

    People faced with cruelty still find a way to be kind. The Nazi’s targeted people who were different. September 15 1935 Jewish people were striped from freedom and from there lives due to the Nuremberg Laws. Hitler thought the Jews were the reason that Germany lost WWII, so he gave orders to build death camps and ghettos. The jews had it worse than any other criminals because only jews were sent to the death camps. The presence of intolerance can inspire people to treat others with kindness as seen in the Diary of Anne Frank.…

    Chapter 7: I felt sorrow and helplessness. All those men were dying for a small piece of bread. And they were only doing so for the pleasure and amusement of the SS men. How cruel. This must be the end of concentration camps, because if it is not, there will be no more people to kill. Too much people died already. They can’t go through another camp or even a selection for that matter.…

    The Jews who once helped and cared for each other, turned against one another, and the Germans only gained more and more from it. The Nazis were fueled with power and terror. This was shown a lot in the video Night and Fog. Jews have the face of fragility; Nazis, control. In the video, the Jews look so weak, to the point looks like is a thin layer of skin covering their bones. Their facial expressions look emotionless, yet it looks like they're crying out for help all at the same time. The Nazis on the other hand look empowered and show off a face that contains no mercy. Jews and Gypsies and the disabled were all killed by one group, yet they showed no concern for anybody but themselves. In another part of Night and Fog, the video shows what the Nazis do with the remains of the victims. The Nazis, instead of disposing of the bodies with care, used the corpses for their own benefit. Hair was used to make rope and mattresses, while the bodies were used for soup that would be fed to others. There was no thought of love or caution, only complete destruction. The Nazis only gained more when they did this, igniting the flame of their control. They were built up, and it seemed as there was no hope for the good in the world, for evil has taken…

    There were plenty of warnings and signs that could have saved them from the sickness, beatings, and even the death of Chlomo. The step by step process to try and kill every single Jew, all starting with the yellow star; the one that “won’t” kill you. Then the tragic decision of of leaving the camp, when they could have been saved. The holocaust was a very terrible time, about six million jews were killed. “The holocaust illustrates the consequences of prejudice, racism and stereotyping on a society. It forces us to examine the responsibilities of citizenship and confront the powerful ramifications of indifference and inaction” Tim Holdon. Today in the modern world, racism is either a joke or not at all. Kids and other play around and say offensive words that are funny, but they are only funny to them. To other people that are of different race, take it very personal; it can start something huge and someone can get very hurt. Things are so different in today's world I feel like if anybody tried to do something like this again our society would not let it happen. There will always be stereotypical people and people who don't think certain people have the right to live comfortably and peacefully. But it has changed enough that they wouldn't let something like this happen again, not willingly. When I read this book it definitely made me cry, I would have the book with me and people would warn me about it. Like Elizer said in the quote in the beginning “Night is purer than day; it is better for thinking, loving, and dreaming. At night everything is more intense, more true. The echo of words that have been spoken during the day takes a new, deeper meaning” Elizer Wiesel. This quote may not directly come from the book but it has a deep connection to his personal experiences. Other holocaust survivors wrote about their personal experiences; but the people I wish I could've heard from are the people who died in the…

    In the past, human nature has deprived humans of reaching their goal of equality. Human nature makes people prejudice and tend to judge people as something that they are not. One example is the inhumane treatment of the Jews, especially during the Holocaust. Between 1939 and 1945, nearly six million Jews were killed (McCarthy). During this period of time and even after, many adults and children wrote books and poetry about the sufferings they witnessed and endured as they forced to undergo horrific conditions. One poem written about this horrendous time period is "Remembrance" by Tawnysha Lynch. This poem was written after an obviously heartbreaking visit to the remains of the deserted Auschwitz. In her poem, Lynch expresses her thoughts as she witnessed the setting where millions of people were killed for being Jewish, homosexual, and even handicapped (Soudakoff).…
