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…

The movie was about a group of P.O.W.s and their attempt to escape a German prison camp, or Stalag that was created to hold the most troublesome inmates.…
I had known for a long time the sort of horrors and torturous things went on at these camps, but what this book does teach is the horrors and tortures of one. The book tells of the emotions and experiences through the eyes of one who has actually experienced those terrible times.…
This specific subject had been used throughout the whole book, creating an image of what a series of concentration camps was like for a Jew, but there are only a couple of instances where it might relate to the theme. One example is when Eliezer was warning a young man about the dangers approaching, as said by Moishe, and it states this: “At last he understood. He got out of bed and began to dress automatically. Then he went over to the bed where his wife is sleeping, and with infinite tenderness, touched her forehead. She opened her eyes, and it seemed to me that she was smiling.” (Wiesel, 15). The man cared enough for his wife to warn her, while gently waking her up as well.…
This film takes place during the time of WW2. It shows how some families didn’t even know what their husbands were doing in the war. It also shows what goes on in their homes and how the soldiers treated the Jews. Also near the end it depicts the inside of the camp. It shows that the Jews really didn’t know what was going to happen to them when they went to go get gassed.…
Both showed several examples of human ugliness and transcendent beauty from the cruelty of the officers and quietness of the many prisoners. Many saw the smoke in both camps, early in the mornings and late in the day. The characters were thin and frail, showing signs of being beyond malnourished. Many prisoners died in the camp from being beaten as well as starved to death. Both camps surrounded by electrified fence. The demise of Magda at the end of “The Shawl”, was heart wrenching to read as was the death of many prisoners at Sobibor, from the barbaric…
It shows how gruesome the situation that these people were put in. Borowski says how when they step off of the cattle trucks they will split two ways, left and right. The ones to the left will go to their execution, the ones to the right are healthy enough to be forced into labor but they do not skip the execution. Once they cannot work the standards that the Nazis are expecting they will be executed. He says that he sees the camp as sanctuary safe haven because even though people are dying, someone is surviving.…
To start off with, one of the filmic elements in the film is interviewing actresses, victims and the advocates. In the beginning of the film, several celebrities are interviewed, including Mary Robinson, the President of Ireland, and Hilary Clinton, the United States Secretary of State. Interviews are more effective in raising the awareness of women abuse in the movie because the use of this element bring out the knowledge of these professionals, producing the meaning of the oppression of women, making the theme more convincing. There are tension in the atmosphere of the scenes of human trafficking and sexual abused. The movie tells the stories of the girls, and then splices in interviews with the actresses, victims and the advocates. To me, it is helpful to have the victims and the girls expressing their opinions and ideas about what they are witnessing, and…
5. Heck says that when he was captured and arrested as a military youth he was shown films of concentration camps but he did not believe they were real.…
Inhumanity is a huge and horrid theme in these stories. The people in these camps were subjected to verbal attacks, being beaten, whipped, shot, burned, gassed and pretty much anything else you can think of. The Jewish people were treated like they weren't even people, as they were often referred to as dogs or even swine! What is more humiliating than being assaulted physically, verbally, and even mentally. Frankl said in Man’s Search for Meaning, “The most painful part of the beatings is the insults they imply.” (Frankl 24) The beatings the prisoners took were malicious and probably stuck with them for the rest of their lives. “I no longer felt anything but the lashes of the whip… He took his time with the lashes. Only the first really hurt.” (Wiesel 57)…
Elli, her mother and all of the prisoners they meet all have to undergo numerous physical and psychological hardships when they are forced into the concentration camps. They are treated like cattle on their way to the slaughterhouse when they are taken from their houses to the ghetto, then to the synagogue, and eventually to Auschwitz, the death camp.…
The film is based on the memoirs of Wladyslaw Szpilman, this is a true story of what this man went through during Hitler’s reign. I feel like the plot of this film immediately sets it up to convey the information in a factual but emotive way, although because it is a memoir it also leaves it open to withhold a lot of information that might not be know and because they didn’t want to make parts of the story up they left the audience with quite a few unanswered questions.…
“We were completely tortured, horrified, and, and…” said Sonja Bullaty incompletely, she was downright traumatized. As were most of the survivors as we noticed them come out of the camps the day after.…
The second stage is response by individuals, institutions, rescue, rebellion, and nation/resistance. In the train ride when Ruth was taken to the hospital to get her hand looked at she was racial discriminated because they knew she came from a concentration camp. When Ruth was in the camp, they only way she kept hope was by writing her poems and hoping to see her family back together. On other hand, Werner father had a great job as engineer in a big company. But, because he was Jewish he lost his job. The family immigrated to Zagreb Croatia (Yugoslavia) Werner was arrested by the Gestapo and taken to jail.…
