This Monday morning in South Bay Tech Academy I read a book called “Life and Death In the Camps”, I read about how the factory workers stole parts to make secret radios, they would listen to the news and religious services. For sleeping, the prisoners had to sleep in bunks that looked like shelves. They usually put three to four people in a bunk. They bunks had straw mattresses. The washrooms and toilets, when the camps were in use, they would have been full of people trying to use them. Prisoners only had a short time to use them first thing in the morning. People were so desperate for food that they got the “Camp Soup”, they were so hungry they would eat it from the floor. Since many of the people didn’t have strength to do anything because they didn’t eat right, so some Kapo gave them sugar cubes for them to suck on so they could get some strength. The SS would get drugs from I.G. Farben to test these drugs on the prisoners. They would only test the Jewish people because they would see them as the most worthless of all the people. These drugs had really bad side effects. They were very sick with these drugs. Prisoners that were too weak to work were given tin cans and then they were told they were going to pick berries and they were shot on their way there. Beatings took place every day.
I think that they did al they could to survive. They tried everything just to stay alive. It was hard, but many did it.
+Art, Music, & Writings from the Holocaust
+By Susan Willoughby
+A few of the pictures show drawings of the victims, paintings of the camps liberated, Hitler & the Nazis, the ideal Germans, and other paintings from different artists. Between 1941 & 1945, thousands of people were sent from Eastern Europe to concentration camps. They were forced to travel by trains in over-crowded cattle trucks for many days with very little water and even less food. This book contains pictures of the most horrible scenes of the Holocaust. Around 2,500 writers fled Germany in the early years of Nazi rule.
+I learn more and more as days go by, and I still feel the same about the situation; I feel horrible.
Reflection-3/26/07
Jewish survivors who had been set free in postwar Europe had experienced years of indescribable suffering. Under normal circumstances, they would have celebrated their freedom by eagerly returning to their lives. These had not been normal circumstances, however, and they soon realized that it would not be possible to pick up where they had left off. Profoundly damaged themselves, both physically and emotionally, they soon learned that they had lost all or almost all their relatives and close friends as well as their homes and properties. Their towns and villages had become mass graveyards; their community life and their rich culture had been obliterated. Everything in their cities and towns and villages would remind them of years of humiliation, of unthinkable atrocities, of tragedy and irreparable loss. For these reasons, few survivors attempted to return to their homes, and most of those who did stayed only a short time. It would be impossible, they soon understood, for them to live in places so closely linked to their childhoods, and it would be impossible to build new lives and new homes on these ruins.
The book I read is called “art, music, and writing from the holocaust” this book is about people expressing their feeling of what they saw I the holocaust. I’m just continued reading the book of the blog from today. The Nazis also did their art and one of the picture one of the Nazis did was a picture a men given candy to two kids. The picture mean that the kids have to go with the men because he give them candy. It show the Jew as a threat to Aryan children. It was deliberately designed to encourage children to fear and hate Jews. The Nazis wanted to killed all kind of Jew that knew how to make art but when David survived he made a lot of art describing what he past on the holocaust. He made a picture of himself when he got his liberation. It show himself writing a illustrating a letter for which he was rewarded with a crust of bread. One of the prisoners made a picture of a prisoners that did a painting. The picture show how he is along in a room and a world with him but he is just crying because he can get out. He was no place of refuge anywhere in the world. He also made a picture of his wife and son with him their expressing is them trying to hide fro the everything it says that that’s the last thing he picture of his family together. When I see all this things that the survivors did it make me feel bad and sad because of everything they suffer. When I see the pictures and the poems it makes me think in all the things they past through.
Section title: The children we remember
Picture description-the picture is describing that there are children that lived in towns.
Summary-This whole book was about how the children would go to school they had a small room were they barely fit. They would sit on benches were the wood there was very old. when it was free time they would get with their friends to play. Or some of them would just sat alone by themselves. Then the Nazis came to make the Jews sew patches on their clothes. They had closed the Jewish stores and schools, they even burned the synagogues this place was when the children had to pray. They took away their homes so they were left alone in the streets. Families were forced to live in the streets. When the children were cold they wrapped themselves in rags.
As soon they got to the camps the weak, old, and young were sent to the gas chambers to die. They did that because they didn’t need them because they couldn’t work. Hitler was born in Austria, in 1889. After World War 1, he became involved in politics. Not all the Germans were with Hitler. Many lost their lives trying to stop the SS. The ideal race in Hitler’s point of view, was white, blond hair, and blue eyes. The Germans would show Jewish people doing bad things in children's book so they could fear and hate the Jews. Some people would paint only so they could survive. Ann Frank was a Jew that was in hiding. They found her diary and published it. Jewish people were sent to ghettos. Many people were killed for drawing things that the SS thought of wrong.
Hitler youth
Picture description: wounded Hitler youth fighters stand at attention during a ceremony in 1943.The Nazis prohibited this photograph from appearing in newspaper.
Summary-The battle of Berlin was fought by the Germans against in invading allied armies. Among the defenders of the capital city of Germany were five thousand members of the hither youth. Most of them were fifteen and sixteen years old. Only five hundred of the five thousand were left alive when the battle was over. From childhood they had been well trained to obey orders, no matter how inhume. They were thought to obey orders since they were 10 years old. But only the boys were the ones that had to follow orders, the girls also had to but they had different orders
The name of the book that I read is survivors of the Holocaust. The book starts out by talking about how they estimate that 5.7 million Jews died. The book also talks about how most of the survivors wouldn’t talk about what happened to them when they came out of the camps. Then after a while the people would be brave enough to talk about everything. The only people that knew what happened in the concentration camps were the Jews and people that were on it. Another way that they found out about what happened is trough pictures that the Jews hid. Even thoe the Germans tried to get ride of all the proof there were still pictures and letters found by people that died. Mostly the people that survived were people from big family and young. Some of the survivors were lucky to have a family member that survived, and most of them weren’t use to real life. The survivors were so used to being treated like animals for a long time and felt guilty and unworthy. Most of the survivors said that they survived because they had loved ones they were strong and they believed that they were going to survive but none of this count if you were in a group with a cruel SS officer. This are all the things that I read from my book.
