Hidden child from the holocaust

Blog 1- paragraph 1

Hidden child of the holocaust by Stacy Cretzmeyer. What I really found interesting was that in the book is divided in to two parts. And the first part is what really caught my attention because in most Holocaust books that i have read none say anything about non-jewish people accept jews. But in the book it really gave a good and realistic picture of how the Germans were. In the beginning of the book is where its talks about how most non-jewish accepted the jewish but most people who accepted the jew hated what the Germans were doing and would risk there own lives to save the life of others from being killed or send off to the concentration camps. “It was my turn to confide in ruth that as a fifth grader I had heard the personal account of a catholic woman who had sheltered Jewish families during the early years of the war. She wand her husband had smuggled many families to “safe houses” and eventually attracted the attention of gestapo agents. The  woman had been tortured by the Nazis in an effort to force her to disclose the whereabouts of her husband. Her fingernails were torn out one by one by her Nazi persecutors but the woman never confessed.Unfortunately her husband was eventually captured and murdered by the Nazis.” This shows that people really did not like what the Nazi were doing people sacrificed themselves to save the life of many others.

Blog 1 paragraph 2

I think that the author wrote this book because she wanted to let people know that what Nazi were doing was bad and that its unacceptable to hurt people just because of there religion. Another thing people really like talking about the Holocaust because you can just write about how you feel and if you agree on the the teller.  Also Stacy wanted to know much more about how her teachers past was. But some past are just better left in the past and maybe thats why it gave Stacy wanted to study about the holocaust and how the teacher made it out alive and away form the Nazi. Stacy really wanted to know about the teachers past so she went to France to see if there are still people alive who would accept the jewish or if there was nuns cause most nun accepted the homeless jewish kids and change there religion so the kids didn't get killed.

Summary 

I finished ready the book “Behind the Bedroom Wall” By Laura E. Williams. At first of the book it only introduced the main characters like Korinna Rehme and Rita Korinna’s best friend and the Nazi. Korinna and her parents are hiding jews behind Korinna’s  bedroom wall. This all happened in world war 2 when Hitler wanted power. They were doing this because they don’t like how the Nazi were treating the jews so they would hide a family behind Korinna’s room walls. And Rita’s brother Hans a Nazi solider was sent to search Korinna’s house and Eva another of Korinna’s friend told her that to night they were going to search her house only because someone told the Nazi that she and her parents were hiding jews. Korinna after school came home to warn her mother and the jewish family to go hide somewhere else to hid e because they were going to search the house. When the jewish family left Korinna filled her room secret wall of Hitler’s posters. And to know what happens on the end you will have to read the book. 

Tough Question

Korinna was wondering if Rita was the one who stole her notebook and was she the one who told Hans about Korinna’s parents hiding the jews?  This makes me wonder that Rita was the one who took the black notebook because Rita was the only one else who knew where it was besides Korinna. And also she really wasn't a friend by stealing and telling Hans. I was really upset with how a best friend could do this to someone. And you wouldn’t expect to punch your sister’s best friend’s dad. I thought that, that was really rude. I just want to know if Rita really was Korinna’s friend  

Behind the Bedroom Wall by Laura E. Williams

Behind the Bedroom Wall Summary:

I when i was reading "Behind the Bedroom Wall" really like how it was written because it has a lot of emotions so you really get into the book and you can just imagine it. IN the story it starts by talking about how they were hiding some jews. And how it was not good to talk to jews anywhere. But towards the middle and end its where the best parts are at. In the middle they are about  main characters the  first Korinna main character second Rita Korinna's best friend, third Hans, Korinna’s parents, the Nazi, and the . Korinna’s parents are hiding jews behind Korinna’s bedroom walls. But her parents have reached her not to hate anyone. But sometimes when  Korinna is home she treats Rachel the little jew girl really bad  because she was playing with her cat. Korinna wants to tell the Nazi that her parents are hiding jews and she starts to think about the consequences so she doesn't tell the Nazi. Rita kept insisting to come over Korinna’s house and Rita found a notebook and a few days later the notebook went missing and Hans Rita’s brother who's a Nazi solider came to search Korinna’s house because the Nazi her that they were some jew in this area and Hans beat up Korinna’s dad. And thats were I left off

Contrast and Contradiction

I am reading the book called "Behind The Bedroom Wall". When I was reading this book what i saw happened was a contrast and contradiction when she was in school they would teach her to hate the jews. So she would but only outside of home she would hate them but in her house she feel sympathy for them but in the beginning she feels hatred to Rachel a little girl who is hiding behind her bedroom wall who is also jewish. I thought that is something that really got my attention.

Holocaust Blog

When I was reading about the holocaust I felt like, why didn't anyone help the jews, but then I got into reading a bit more and I might understand why they didn't want to. I personally think that I  would be an up stander by moving to the country side and hide some Jews or where it's not so populated and away from the Nazi or even send them to a different country and risk my life to free these people. Also  if I saw some people suffering rom the Nazi I would help them and cure for them. I read a passage about the Schinler 's List story and I thought that, that was a really good idea and very nice of him to risk his know life to save millions. I felt like if others did the same thing as Schinler than maybe 6million jews wouldn't be dead. I think that if people weren't so afraid of Hitler or the Nazi than the holocaust wouldn't happened. I feel really bad on how people where treated. When I heard about the gas chambers I told my self how could anyone have a heart filled with such hatred. I think that what really made the citizens be afraid about the Nazi was how they started slowly and people just kept things to themselves I think they thought that things would stay the same. I think I would do the same on quiet cause I wouldn't know what was happening but I think that I would do anything just to help these people. I just want to know how would it be if Hitler was not a dictator or was not that evil?

Paragraph 1 and 2 about the article and poem

Paragraph 1

The Sweatshop

In my article that I read its basically about how people don't feel like there humans any more but as if they were robots and they just did the same things over and over again. What I found that helped me back up my claim " that I often forget who I am. I get lost in the frightful tumult. My self is destroyed, I become a machine. I work and work and work endlessly."These four sentences help me figure out what the article is about a. I don't approve about these working condition because what i read its letting me know that people where when they work lose of a human has  like feeling. When I read this article I was surprise know that people that aren't being treated like humans. Basically they are breaking rule number 23 they are not being treated fairly because they don't get breaks even it says that some time they feel like if they were  slaves.

Paragraph 2

Simone Weil: The Year Of Factory Work (1934-1935)
By Edward Hirsch

I the poem that I read its almost the same as the article but this one was about how people in this factory are like a slave. I know thinks because in the poem it says that "The irreducible slavery of workers. To work. In order to eat, to eat in order to work." I think that reading a article is much better than reading a poem because in the article the writer gets to right in as much feeling as they want to and they get to not worry much in about how a poem is written. This really did not effect the way I read both poem and article because  either way i understood what they were trying to say but in the poem i thought it was a bit trickier to understand what they were trying to say. I thought that reading the poem it helped me understand a bit more than what the writer was trying to say.
