    I was sitting with my family at the breakfast table drinking milk and eating a piece of burnt toast; that was when I heard the feint sound of sirens coming from the east end of the block. My dads face grew pale and my mother quickly stood up and grabbed my brother and mines hand. She guided us towards the back of the house through a small opening in the floor. Once we reached the hole, she took my brothers hand and placed it in mine, telling him to watch over me. We were put into the hole and she kissed our heads, then covered the little light we had with a rug. I started to panic, unaware of the destruction and persecution that lay before me on a silver platter. We spent a week in that ditch, although it had felt like a lifetime. All the while, I thought of my parents: where had they gone; would they soon return? One day while we were there, with cramps building up in my legs, I heard footsteps coming from above my head. My brother hoping it was our parents returning to save us from the forever darkness that we faced slid the rug over and peered up with squinting eyes. The rough man standing above us, however, was not our father, but a man I would soon come to know as, Nazi soldier. The reasons of our taking were not because of crime, but because of my ethnicity, the way I looked, the way I spoke, and even my religion.…

    Why The Holocaust Was Bad

    It’s simple to say that the Holocaust was bad. I don’t think it was third grade and I already knew that. In A Good Day from Survival in Auschwitz, an autobiography by Primo Levi, and Night, an autobiography by Elie Wiesel, I learned the very different first-hand experiences of two young men who dealt with persecution from the Nazi Officers, during the time of the Holocaust. Now although these stories are very different, in truth, they both share similarities as well.…

    Fictional literature of the Holocaust the reader opens a diverse number of stories about this tragic and gruesome historical event. Fictional stories explore a sensitive topic with respect, it gives honor to the survivors of the Holocaust by informing new generations of the adversities the Jewish people experienced. Fictional Nazi genocide stories solve the limitations present in autobiographies and survival testimonies about the Holocaust; Anna Richardson mentions one of these limitations in The Ethical Limitations of Holocaust Literary Representation, "survivor testimony can never express the full Holocaust experience, as by definition those who survived did not go to the gas chamber"(7). In reality, the authentic stories about the holocaust…

    During the Holocaust, 1.5 million children were killed when they arrived in cantankerous killing centers; killed immediately after birth, dying after not decorous medical experiments, dying from starvation and diseases. Many have survived because of the help of people or because of their own strength. Many innocent children had been involved in the Holocaust. Some had been on Kindertransports, some have died in camps, and some had been in orphanages. Children who were kept away from the Holocaust were called “Hidden Children”. A nine-year-old girl, Judith Pinczovsky, survived the Holocaust because of the strength of her mother. After the war, children had to start their lives over with parents or without.

    Bystander The Holocaust

    Many people looked on, others watched from a far in a tree or another hiding place. But, many didn’t intervene with the affairs of the Nazis and German Officials as they rounded up their friends and neighbors, put them into ghettos, and ultimately killed them. Few people tried to save the unfortunate Jewish people, and some prevailed, while some met the same fate. This wicked act of Jewish extermination not only occurred in Germany, but it effected places all over central Europe. With this in mind, a priest named Father DuBois ventures far to uncover the eye witness accounts of the devastating attack on the Jewish population and publishes in 2008 a book called: A Priest’s Journey to Uncover the Truth Behind the Murder of 1.5 Million Jews, The Holocaust by Bullets.…
