In 1944, at Chelmno, mass cremation and burial of corpses began. Many of these burial pits are still visible today. In a further effort to cover up evidence, the Germans dismantled the gas chambers of Sobibor and Treblinka. Yet, they were unable to work quickly enough to destroy all of the gas chambers at Majdanek and Auschwitz-Birkenau. The remains of the gas chambers and crematoriums are visible, but in poor condition.
There are Anti-tank mines and Anti-Personnel mines. Clearly in this story the young boy was hit by an anti personnel buried landmine. Witnessing someone die right in front of you in a split second from an explosion is unimaginable. Just that last sentence I said is not something you ever see put down in words. This story touches on something that I can really relate to.
The reason why he left is because he knew what really happened when Thomas parent's house got burned down. He burned it himself. After having quite a few drinks, Arnold was playing with a type of fireworks that gave off sparks. He was yelling at Thomas's parents in an excited way at their house. But in the meantime, a spark hit the inside of the house and caught on fire.
Due to David Olére witnesses and being involved in the extermination, the images painted by him would have been what he had witnessed and experienced at the time. Source B gives us an idea of the horror and misery the Jews who were being gassed went through and an idea of what it would of looked like to see the remains of the dead bodies after they were all murdered. In the corner of Source B you can see a container labeled Zyklon B, this gives the viewer an idea into what extermination phase they were going through at the time that David Olére was there. In sources A, C, and D, it gives us an idea of what horrible jobs the Jews were given at the concentration camps. This can be extremely useful to a historian.
In the main frame of the picture you see soldiers and children fleeing the fire inferno. In the background you see out of control fires and a
On February 20, 1943, a farmer near the town of paricutin was startled by a column of column of smoke rising from the middle of his cornfield. Thinking he had somehow started a fire, he rushed to pu it out, he found out that the smoke was coming from a small hole in the ground, not from an open fire. The farmer thought about how for a moment to smother he fire, and he decided to plug the hole with a rock. Later, when he checced back, he was alarmed by the increased escape of dense, black smoke. Recalling that the ground trembled recently, and noticing that the soil felt hot under his bare feet, he hurried to town to tell the mayor and to bring some people back with him.
Lastly, Elie watched a young boy being hung. [“Behind me, I heard that same man asking? : ‘Where is God now?’ And I heard a voice within me answer him: ‘Where is HE? Here He is----He is hanging here on this gallows....’ That night the soup tasted of corpses.” pg.62] This proves that his faith in God had vanished more. He had
The soldiers died immediately as they came in contact with the flames, surely the same would happen to the three men. When King Nebuchadnezzar looked in the furnace he saw an amazing sight. The ropes that bound their hands and feet did not bind the three men any longer. They were walking freely in the blazing hot furnace. King Nebuchadnezzar asked those around him, “Didn’t we throw three men into the fire?
Jews were also separated from their families based on race, age, and sex; some were forced into slaves. Others were sent to the crematorium to be burnt. "Something was being burned there. A truck drew close and unloaded its hold: small children. Babies!"
This event stood out to me the most and the reason why was I was completely blindsided by it. When I grew up learning about the holocaust I was only told about the concentration camps and how they got them there, I had no idea what other events took place. To me it’s hard to hear what directly happened and what people remember while I was reading this I started to cry and even had to put my book down and take a minute before I could continue reading. The events left me thinking what I would do if I was in their possession and I’ve decided I would have thrown my jewelry in a spot the Germans would never see. After I went and disposed of my jewelry I would have gone with a smile with my face so the Germans couldn’t get a satisfaction of shooting
