Why I Like The Holocaust
One of the reasons why I like the book is because it was very sad and very descriptive and must of took a lot of time and effort into that.
My second reason that I like the book is because it lets me make my own mind movie and I can create and design my own characters and it had no pictures so it was really easy to imagine my own things.
My third reason why I like the book is because as we were reading the book it was getting more and more sad.
But by the time we were done the book it was a little more happier because it was done and we did not have to worry about all the sad parts anymore.
2. I would recommend this book to a friend because, it is a very sad time, and I feel that other people need to know what happened during the holocaust

I learned that the Nazi’s really hated the Jewish and that if the Jewish people in the concentration camps did not listen they were shot or sent to the gas chambers. I also learned that we should not treat other people differently due to their skin colour or different religions.
In the book hidden girl, the girl lola was taken in by a lady and was put in a barn with a hidden space under the barn where there was another family in there. There was a little girl, mom and a dad. From this, I learned that there are many people that tried to help hide the Jewish people during the holocaust. One other thing I learned was that many Jewish people were hurt and killed by the Nazi’s, which left every Jewish person in Germany scared.
4. We have many rights and responsibilities in our world such as the right to equality and the responsibility to treat others the way everyone should be. Essential human rights are the right to water, food, shelter, and religion. We have the right to freedom of privacy from the government, organizations and people. This allows people to participate in civil life without being discriminated against.
5. The people who hid Lola, took the civil responsibility to protect her from the Nazis. One time I took a civil responsibility was when I helped my friend when they were being

    Do you really know what went on during the holocaust well Jane Yolen wrote a special book about how life was like in the concentration camps which later turned into a movie. There are many different things that go on in between the book and the movie like how there is a major age difference and how Rivka ends up being her cousin. That is some but there's also many similarities like how Hanna still tells her stories to keep everybody together and how Hanna still sacrifices herself for Rivka. Well I think that differences or not they still both teach that valuable lesson that one after one the deaths were adding and one after one they were disappearing.…

    Throughout the Holocaust the Nazi implemented unfair and unjustified laws to affect Jews and took away basic human rights from the Jewish people. For example in my packet on page 85 it says “ boycotts against Jewish [...] from [...] government related jobs” this limited the amount of jobs Jews could have, which meant these Jews would struggle to earn money and provide for there families. In doing this Nazi’s caused Jewsto give up their careers and their passions, which caused Jews not to be able to bring in money for their families, which meant they had to live with less life essentials such as food, clothes, etc. These people had to learn to survive with little rations of supplies people need to live because of thee lack of income they had…

    I highly recommend this book; not only is it well-written, but it is a sublime memoir. It informs of the Holocaust and gives you a different (but better) perspective on the horrid event. It is much better than any history book. I wouldn't say the book is life-changing, but it has definitely impacted me and changed my way of thinking.…

    In fact, this is an extremely difficult book to read and it's not the kind of book you want to read when you're feeling down or having a bad day. Essentially, it's a personal account of a Holocaust survivor, Mr. Elie Wiesel. It's his autobiographical story of struggle for survival while in Auschwitz, the largest of the Nazi concentration camps.... and after reading it, I'd say it's a miracle that anyone survived at all.…

    During the holocaust, Jews were brutally mistreated by the S.S. Soldiers at the concentration camps. Dehumanization was one of the many things that was done to the Jews. “Strip! Hurry up! Raus! Hold on only to your shoes and your belt.” “ Their clippers tore out our hair, shaved every hair on our bodies.” Execution is also portrayed in the book Night. Small children(babies) were thrown into the fire pits, because they were too young to do anything. The Jews civil rights were taken away from the them when the German soldiers came to force them out of their homes, and take them to the concentration camps. “ During the passover celebration of 1944, however, German soldiers arrive in Sighet, arrest jewish leaders, confiscate the valuables of Jewish…

    I really enjoyed the book, because I think learning about the holocaust is very interesting, especially learning from the experiences of an actual survivor. A strength of the book was that it had good details of her experiences. A weakness of the book was that it went too fast at some parts, and the book was very short. I learned that Blima was a very strong person. It is important to know about Blima, because we can learn from her about how to be strong in tough…

    In 1933 it was the actions of Adolf Hitler and his followers that led to the Holocaust. Hitler began the Holocaust in hopes that it would create a perfect society of only Aryans and Germans. He hated Jewish people especially and anyone else who he believed would ruin his idea of a perfect society because of this he forced horrible actions on these people and millions were killed. Even though these actions were inhumane and horrific many people still conformed to Hitler’s beliefs and helped him carry out these actions. There are many reasons as to why people might have conformed to Hitler and why people conform to society in general.…

    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.…

    The Holocaust was a horrific event in human history, but why do we need to learn about it when there have been so many other horrible events where people died because of their religion or race? Although there have been other atrocious events, the Holocaust is a modern day example of how hatred and discrimination can hurt so many. People will do things that they wouldn't normally do when their society says that it is the right thing to do. Also, discrimination against someone because of their race, culture, or religion can cause hatred towards that person, even if it doesn't start that way. Lastly, when people need someone to blame for their problems they will turn to anything or anyone, even if it isn't the best thing. These are all things that can and need to be learned from the Holocaust, and they are why we should learn about the Holocaust.…

Jewish families were run out of their homes, schools, and shops. Jews were expelled from German schools and forced to go to all Jewish schools. Their once friends were now prejudice against them. Terrible things were done to innocent children for something that they could not…

    These stories are now captured in many written forms around the world. But, the stories live on and are told by families and friends directly effected and impacted by the activities that took place during the Holocaust. However, there are those in denial that the holocaust has never occurred and that it is a conspiracy. In Germany and some of the areas surrounding the country the Holocaust and the atrocities committed against the many people persecuted and killed was denied for decades. The need for the stories of the holocaust to be shared is so that such a tragedy never occurs again in the world and that the ideas that spurred the genocide are publicized as a way of prevention. People from all walks of life are moved by the endurance of the Jews and their resilience. As a way to guarantee that stories of the Holocaust are told, in many areas around the world, there is a law passed requiring the topic be taught. In researching this topic and gaining an abundance of knowledge, there is an even greater appreciation for the need to have the Holocaust taught in every school around the…
