Holocaust Testimonies By: Carlos Chavez October 18th, 2008 In this powerful book there were many testimonies by numerous people and of course they were all different. Joseph Preil really found the core of the Jewish community and their feelings towards the happenings of the Holocaust. In the book survivors share some of the most horrific stories that not even the worst of horror movies can compare to. The way some of these people were treated and what they had to go through is just unbearable. I think it takes a lot of courage for the survivors to tell some of their stories because there is not doubt that it was a painful memory for them.
April Johnson English 095 April 26, 2012 “Difficult Decisions” Artie Spiegelman, who wrote Maus: A Survivor’s Tale VI & VII, is a book of a certain family enduring hardship with the misery after the effect of the Holocaust. The book of Maus for me was hard understanding graphic details from not just words but pictures, as well. Between both stories, the extended walks had a big effect on our people. The placement camps in these stories show how cruel, unpleasant, and uncaring many people can be for how they treated the Jews and Navajos with the amount of diseases going around during both wars. The U.S Colonel Kit Carson was sent towards Canyon de Chelly to gather and bring the Navajos to Fort Sumner like Adolf Hitler when he assembled
Circumstances Leading to the Holocaust The Holocaust happened in very resent history. Yet it almost seems fanciful that an event to that magnitude could have taken place in recent history, hardly sixty years ago in a “civilized” country nonetheless. It is hard to pinpoint when the intentions of the Holocaust and extermination of millions of Jews happened. There are many circumstances that compiled to allow for the world to be able to completely ignore what was taking place in these death camps and for the German soldiers to carry out the orders. Germany was in a poor state at the time in it’s economy and it’s morale.
Daniel felt guilt and remorse while he was in jail and It was just a mistake that couldn’t be undone. A longer sentence wouldn’t bring back the lives of the dead.

English II PreDP 17 March 2015 Shooting Stars Analysis When people learn or think about the Holocaust, victims of the tragedies of the time are often grouped together as one, as are most groups of people in historic events; consequently, each person’s individual story and feelings are not deeply enough pondered. To change this common understanding, the speaker tells how he or she feels when taken to a concentration camp, discovered alive, raped, and the witness of a child being shot and what happens afterward. Carol Ann Duffy, the author of Shooting Stars , builds the theme of individuals’ suffering as victims, especially of the Holocaust, through the use of symbolism, imagery, and structure. Upon hearing or seeing the words ‘shooting stars’, the brain will usually compose a portrait of a small meteor zooming across the stars and possibly a child making a wish underneath the sky, which will give the reader a pleasant and purposely false vision of what will follow. This misleading original thought is given to the reader to symbolize that bullets fly through the air as shooting stars fly through the sky.
11/02/11 Reflection of Service Learning St. Baldrick’s Event At the St. Baldrick’s event I learned about the many effects of many different types of cancers. This experience influenced me in many different ways. It made me want to give help to everyone because anyone could need it but sometimes you can’t physically tell how. It made me feel like offering help to everyone. It made me happy for the survivors but also sad that they had to be put through such a traumatic life experience.
These three events had the biggest impact upon the USA. The assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. was a very surprising moment in 1968. The news of his death had an effect on almost everyone. After his death his message seemed to sink deeper into people’s thoughts and hearts after his death who agreed with them. For the most part blacks and whites would put their differences aside, but some blacks grew very angry and riots
These stories don’t really go into the aftermath of the families and such, but you can imagine how terrible it was for them to hear it. Realize that just one person being killed has a huge impact on many people. Imagine how many people die every single day of these things. So have a
Holocaust Journal Entries Makayla Zonfrilli June 29, 2011 through August 4, 2011 Personal feelings of the Holocaust The Holocaust is most likely the most devastating event to have occurred throughout the world’s history. An estimate of six million Jews perished in the Holocaust along with fourteen million more other people. However this catastrophic disaster is not renown. Countries such as the Philippines, India and Thailand along with parts of Germany itself know nothing of the Holocaust and others have been convinced that it never took place. I learned this fact from three of foreign exchange students that had attended Chestnut Ridge high school alongside me this past year.
