Later, Corrie would recall watching her father as Jews were loaded into a truck by German soldiers. As the Germans dove away her father said “I pity the poor Germans, Corrie. They have touched the apple of God’s eye.” At that time Corrie never doubted of whether or not she would risk herself and her family to help the Jews. The Beje (home) soon became their hub which formed into the underground movement to hide the Jews until they could escape the country. On February 28th, 1944 Corrie and her family were arrested after nearly two years of fooling the Germans.
Abdul did not fully understand what had happened to his mom; all he knew was that she was lying in a “box” on a stage as he called it. After the funeral and Abdul found out he would be going to a foster home that is when his appalling journey of his life began. Abdul watches his mother die from AIDS and barely surviving the time he spent in a hellish foster home. Later on, Abdul found himself in an orphanage staffed by pedophile priests, after he was previously beaten and raped by one of the boys of his foster home all before he turned 14. Well along, abandoned to a welfare system that made him brutally aware of his powerlessness without helping him overcome it.
On 20th December 1944, a social worker had urged the foster parents Esther and Reginald Gough, to call for a doctor to see Dennis and in her report; Miss Edwards recommended the immediate removal of the boys (Dennis and his younger brother Terence). Neither Newport Borough Council nor Shropshire council acted on her advice; instead, the report was left for another staff member to deal with on his return from annual leave on 10th January 1945. Dennis died the day before his return. The enquiry that followed highlighted poor record keeping, failed appointments, lack of partnership working, weak supervision
At the funeral the directors would not let Miriam see the body, leaving her without closure and wondering what really happened to him. As Miriam tells her story it is evident to both Anna and the audience, that her life is still broken. Anna interviews numerous victims throughout the text, one being Frau Paul. Before the Berlin Wall, Frau Paul’s son, Torsten, was born with a ruptured diaphragm and stomach, along with other severe conditions. Needing continuous medical attention Frau Paul took him to a hospital in West Germany.
Since Mr. Wiesel was a victim of the Holocaust, he learned about indifference through experience. Personally, I stand behind Elie Wiesel and his beliefs about indifference. In 19944, when Mr. Elie Wiesel was a young Jewish boy, he and his family were deported from their small town to the Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration Camp. His father and he were sent to the work camps while his mother and two of his three sisters were immediately sent to the gas chambers upon arrival. In his speech to the president of the United States, Mr. Wiesel described how he personally felt about the topic of indifference.
That was the last time Elie Wiesel saw his mother and sister Tzipora. The men had to then go and say their age and profession. If the profession was of no use then you would be put into the crematoria. Luckily Elie and his father was put into the group to work. This was the beginning of Elie's life in a concentration camp, little did he know that the pain and horror would last for 4
It was in this period that Bonhoeffer produced his book “The Cost of Discipleship” and that Bonhoeffer first became widely known. In 1938, his brother-in-law, Hans von Dohnanyi, introduced him to the group seeking to Overthrow Hitler. Bonhoeffer continued his work for the resistance movement under the cover of his employment in Germany's Military Intelligence Department, which was a centre of the resistance. In 1942 he flew to Sweden to tell British government the conspirators' proposals for a peace; these proposals were unfortunately rejected. Bonhoeffer was arrested on April 5, 1943, and imprisoned in Berlin.

He also blamed Germany’s difficulties on the Jews but did not tell the people his true intention was to exterminate them. Thus he created an atmosphere of hatred in Germany that later would be proven by his draconian measures towards the Jews. The first real brutal attack against the Jews came in June 1934, when Hitler had about 1,000 people murdered in the Night of the Long Knives. He then introduced the Nuremburg Laws which were as follows: all Jews had to wear the Star of David, they lost their professional careers and property, Jews could not mingle with the German population, and ultimately the Jews lost their citizenship. These laws passed without any resistance and should have been a sign to the world of things to
Baba never discusses her with Amir, and he doesn’t appreciate the qualities she passed down to her son “That was how I escaped my father's aloofness, in my dead mother's books” this being a disgrace to baba as he wished for a masculine son "Real men didn't read poetry-and God forbid they should ever write it!” this effectively showing baba’s disinterest in Amir as Baba believes a real man is interested in sports. One interpretation to explain his lack of conformity to the ideal model of manhood could be due to his mother as she feminizes him even though she's almost
