The Holocaust

The holocaust occurred during World War II when Adolf Hitler was the dictator of Germany. The holocaust is basically when millions of Jews were murdered during WWII and were intensely discriminated by Hitler and the Nazi’s. However many of the Jews had resided in parts of Europe and many of them were residing in Germany but many of them were once again murdered by the Germans because Hitler plotted on disappearing all the Jews that were in the country. This reminds me of how Ms. Gruwell from freedom writers encouraged her students to learn and investigate about the Holocaust because not all of them knew about it or even believed it even happened and she wanted them to have confidence and knowledge about it that way they can become intelligent with the history of the event. But some people never believed that the holocaust existed and others actually did. Therefore, a network of over 40,000 facilities in Germany and occupied territory and was used to concentrate, hold and kill Jews and other victims. In addition after the beginning of WWII, the Nazi’s began ordering Jews to live in certain areas of the cities in where many of them weren’t allowed to leave at all. Also many of the Jews were held prisoners and had to be forced out of their residing locations and follow the orders of the Nazis or they will have to face death, but the Jews faced death anyways and about 5 million children were also killed during the holocaust due to Hitler’s orders. Also the first victims of the holocaust were homosexuals and people with disabilities and these victims were one of the first to be murdered during the event and there were also approximately more than 5 million non-Jewish victims living in Germany during WWII and as we said before the majority of them had to evacuate their places and relocate different areas. In addition there were different kinds of camps such as ghettos, concentration camps and even extermination camps where all the Jews were sent and were never free from any of the camps, and the majority of all Jews had to suffer being trapped in these places where they would be tortured and harmed intensely and later on face death due to their residence in the country where they weren’t respected and treated kindly by the Germans and especially Hitler. Also the Jews were the scapegoats of Germany collapsing after WWI meaning that the Nazi’s blame the Jews for the damage that has occurred to the country and Germany wanted to gain more power in order for them to become a more powerful strong country.

Anne Frank Diary

Anne Frank was a young girl that wrote every detail in a diary in her life of the Holocaust. She was sending a message to everyone or to whom that finds the diary. I believe that she had a messenger, to tell her what was going on outside. Anne Frank was born in June 12, 1929, in Frankfurt, Germany. She was born as a Jew, and bringing a Jew was a very bad thing in the 1920’s because it was during World War I. She was hiding because herself and her family didn’t want to get killed so the hide for a while in a tiny place. I don’t understand why would they do this to this poor girl and her family, that didn’t do anything wrong? Why hurt the Jews? What did they do to get killed?

Change of the Freedom Writers Should It’s amazing how the Toast of Change of the Freedom Writers has succeeded. From a group of students who didn’t care about school and becoming someone important in life, to becoming someone better in life and helping other freshman students to do the same. Most of the Freedom Writes shared the same story. They didn’t care about school; they only care about surviving another day in Long Beach without getting killed. Most of the Freedom Writes are teachers now in the area of Long Beach. Many of them graduated from colleges, others are part of the Freedom Writers Foundation. They should be the perfect example of success to most teenagers in High School. The reason why, is because it was then when it all started. From failing, ditching class, gang violence, poverty, and other domestic violence at home, to SUCCESS. For the most part, most of them are doing very well. They are teachers, professors and other important positions someone can have. They are living the toast of change.

 * Summery Frank, 1985 from SOUTHLAND By Nina Revoyr

Victor was on the phone and that Alma was the one that wrote to Victor. I think Frank felt heartbroken because of this but she wasn’t anything to him. Alma has died from cancer and no one knew about it until the end. Victor at first didn’t want to go to the funeral but he knows that Frank is going to make plans to go. Franks wife Mary didn’t care about Alma because Frank spent so much with Alma and Curtis, so she was feeling left out. Frank left and went to the funeral but didn’t want to see Alma but he rather see her alive. And it sounds like Frank was in love with Alma because it hurt him when she left and hurt him even more when she came to pick up Curtis. Frank and Alma had a kid and he passed away and no one knows that that was Frank’s kid. He couldn’t take the pain anymore so he went to a bridge and wanted to die but he stopped and started thinking about his other family and he wondered if he dies what will happen to them so he decided to stay.

 * Quote

Page 299 on the book SOUTHLAND By Nina Revoyr

“But he loved her, he’d loved her almost all of his life, and the terrible thing about failing someone is that you keep on failing them, no matter how you try to make it up for it.”

I love this quote because it talks about Love and how we all get heartbroken for the ones we truly love.
