Recommended: The courage of soldiers

I am claiming that some of the people in the annex showed hope and courage and not just saying something and do something about it. The people in the annex are showing courage. The way mr frank was showing courage was when they heard a person down stairs doing something they weren't supposed to do. out of all people mr frank went to go see what was happening. Then i realized even if he was to get caught he still almost risked everyone's life if the robber had to have seen him there family would have got caught earlier than they did and killed. Mr frank also risked meip and everyone else that was helping hide them. Mr Frank asked Mr Kraler how was it left? and what did you tell him?Mr frank was asking all those questions because he knows that the man was the stealing the stuff that ran when they heard him. The only reason he asked for more money is because he knows about Mr Frank and his family living in the annex and if they don't give him what he wants he is going to tell the german so all of them …show more content…

    Pollan’s article provides a solid base to the conversation, defining what to do in order to eat healthy. Holding this concept of eating healthy, Joe Pinsker in “Why So Many Rich Kids Come to Enjoy the Taste of Healthier Foods” enters into the conversation and questions the connection of difference in families’ income and how healthy children eat (129-132). He argues that how much families earn largely affect how healthy children eat — income is one of the most important factors preventing people from eating healthy (129-132). In his article, Pinsker utilizes a study done by Caitlin Daniel to illustrate that level of income does affect children’s diet (130). In Daniel’s research, among 75 Boston-area parents, those rich families value children’s healthy diet more than food wasted when children refused to accept those healthier but

    Lives were taken, the happiness and peace was robbed from the town and the people within, and relationships saw their last day. The impacts of these sacrifices are results that we have no control over. We could all be thinking that a decision we made was vital to the situation, but it could actually just cause more hardship. In the grand scheme of things, the most crucial question is: what sacrifices are actually worth

They participated because they thought it was the right thing to do. They, in the most real sense, put their asses on the line, including their physical safety and their social standing, for the cause. And, we don’t even know their names. Those are allies.

    ... which would increase morale of both the troops and the population. He also uses a metaphor and emotive language to slightly exaggerate the forces victory but it makes the evacuation sound such as an extreme success with the language emphasising the men’s ability to hold their morale; which was shown in source C where the men were firing upon enemy aircraft. He also focuses on the men’s lives rather than the major losses of equipment, which although gets a mention it is encompassed mid-sentence since it is not seen as much of a failure as the men’s lives being saved is a success, this is important as it is the major deliverance that Taylor was mentioning in his quote. He also claims that the forces refused to accept defeat, however this claim is entirely contrived since the evacuation was a final resort after defeat to the German forces in Europe

  • Summary Of David Wayman's Abandonment Of The Jews

    Wayman states how Roosevelt refused safety to Jewish refugees, in example, he failed to order the bombing of railway lines leading to Auschwitz. This is an example of an opportunity Roosevelt could have seized. Wayman states, “America's response to the Holocaust was the result of action and inaction on the part on the many people. In the forefront was Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose steps to aid Europe's Jews were very limited. If he had wanted to know, he could have aroused substantial public backing for a vital rescue effort by speaking out on the issue. If nothing else, a few forceful statements by the president would have brought the extermination news out of obscurity and into the headlines. But he had little to say about the problem and gave no priority at all to rescue” (Wayman 311). Wayman is stating that even speaking about the topic and being public about it can lead to

    Through the Holocaust and through the fighting, the hunger and the fear, those persecuted managed to hold on to hope, the one thing no Nazi could break. Though the camps were liberated in 1944-1945, the horrors had already been committed. The death counts of the Nazi prisoners go as high as 13 million, but even with this the Jews still held out hope, still kept fighting, even as they were dragged from their homes into the Death Camps that awaited them, And it is for this reason that none will ever truly forget all the atrocities, horrors and, most importantly, the victims.

  • How Does Elie Wiesel Keep Memory Alive

    640 Words  | 2 Pages

    Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel gave a speech called, “Keep Memory Alive.” This speech shares the message: “Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormented.” Which basically means that staying neutral, or silent helps the “bad guy” or “bully.” And if we keep silent we are encouraging the silence of the victims. Elie Wiesel is a Romanian-born Jewish writer, professor, and political activist. He spoke this speech in Oslo on December 10, 1986. Elie speaks about how someone should not stay silent in any wrong doing. He speaks not just for himself but for the survivors and the children of the survivors. He himself is a holocaust survivor who doesn’t want people to forget what him, his family, his friends, and even complete strangers had to go through, therefore, he created the speech “Keep Memory Alive.” The writer illustrates his theme of this speech by giving a memorable tone using a flashback with a young boy and his father going through the tragedy of the holocaust.

    Opposing views claim that people during the Holocaust should of gone with the flow and should of let the Nazis push them around. Others believe that if the victims would of went with the flow they would have mixed in; however, they would have to do what the Nazis told them to do. Some commodities they were told to do included manual labor, walking the death marches, and to go without eating for days. Even though these people had to do these things, they would have blended in, and it would of been less likely for the people to get hurt or killed by the terrible Nazis. Believing that you could sit back and not deal with the situation is not the way to stand up for yourself. The people should have fought back and fought back powerfully!

Their employers evacuated so there was no job left for them, no money. The police weren’t helping them get to safety. They could wait for hours to get provided rations but waiting that long meant death for some and these conditions were harsh on the children. Watching them drag a dead body away was heartbreaking because so many people could have prevented this but nobody thought about the working poor, those that didn’t have
