In the novel, Sarah’s Key, the main character, Sarah, locked her brother in the cupboard to hide him from the French police. I believe that Sarah is definitely not responsible for her brother, Michel’s, death. The reason being that she is only a child and she did not know what was going to happen to herself and her family. She thought they were only leaving for a little bit and then she would be able to return back to her home to let Michel out of the cupboard. She never meant any harm by leaving him behind because she was only ten years old and no one knew exactly what was going on or why the French police were rounding up all the Jews. Sarah tried to be like her father and to make the right choices, so she thought he would be safer in the cupboard by himself, than being taken by the French police and the Germans. Hence, I feel that Sarah was only trying to protect him from the Germans, and was not responsible for his death. Because Michel was locked in the cupboard all by himself, I felt his suffering was more inhumane in the cupboard, rather than going to the internment camp with his family. I believe that Michel suffered more …show more content…
However, it was not her fault because she was only trying to protect him. Anyone would do the same because they would want them not to suffer, but she didn’t realize that they weren’t coming back for him. Also, the reason why I think that being alone is worse than going to the internment camp with family is because I couldn’t imagine being all alone without anyone to rely on. I would rather go to the internment camp because then at least I would have someone to comfort me and so I wouldn’t have to be trapped in a place with no escape or any hopes of survival. Thus, I think that Sarah was not responsible for her own brother’s death and that Michel died a worse death by being trapped in the cupboard
The twins were in a different part of the camp than the rest of the prisoners, and they were treated differently too. Regular prisoners were overcrowded in their three-tier bunks made ...
How would you react if you were taken from your friends and family? Both Elie and Anne had to experience their family being taken away from them, possibly forever. Even though their most loved ones were taken, they still stayed strong. Elie and Anne had similar situations at the concentration camps when they went there.
3. The abuse that I thought was the most difficult was the gas chamber. He had to sit in the bathroom with the ammonia and it was really hard for him to breathe. The only reason he survived was because there was a vent in the bathroom. I think that I could have also survived this because I am good at getting myself out of bad situations. I can think quickly.
Sarah was the sixth child. Even at a young age she showed great independence and focused many of her efforts on justice. She was very intellectual and because of this, her father paid particular attention to her over the other children. He is said to have frequently declared “if she had been of the other sex she would have made the greatest jurist in the land” (Birney, 1970, p 8). Sarah was also very personable, empathetic and car...
A child is known for having innocence, and bad experiences strip kids of it. In Sarah’s

This is an Interview that I conducted when checking the historical accuracy of the story. Not only was this a helpful source to that but also explained how she saw the Holocaust in her eyes of a young girl that was only a year older than Sarah. Though she was young and at times it was hard for her to talk about or even remember, there were not many gender defining roles that she
Sarah was quite a bit older than the core accusers and afflicted. However, her relation to Mary Walcot connects her to Ann Putnam Jr., one of the most relentless in her accusations. Shortly after Abigail Williams and Betty became afflicted, Ann Putnam Jr. would join them. Ann’s involvement as an accused links Sarah to the group of accusers. Whether it be guilt or fear, Sarah’s affliction appeared to subside. Due to the decline of her afflictions, the other girls quickly turned on her. She was now being accused of, “Signing the Devil’s book.” Sarah now stood accused of the crime she once accused her employer of. In order to save herself, Sarah confessed that her master George Jacobs and his 17 year old granddaughter Margaret Jacobs forced her to. Sarah accused George Jacobs of leading a, “wicked life.” Her accusations do not stop there. Sarah also goes on to include that George Jacobs and his granddaughter Margaret forced her to, “Sign the Devil’s
...Gertrude should have received life in prison without parole. The three boys who went to prison should have been given a longer sentence; I would want around seven to 10 years in prison. They committed involuntary manslaughter, and they should not be given a slap on the wrist; they need to pay for their actions. The other kids should be given half a year in prison because they played a role in Sylvia’s death, and they should learn that this kind of behavior is wrong.
I believe that Jeannette survived emotionally by her parents since she believed that her upbringing was a normal upbringing. It made her proud of her parents and family despite the neglect. I believe if she did not survive emotionally she would have become just like her parents when she gets older.
...read. Again, Mr. Wiesel avoided this by deciding to not even try and fight for any food. Although the worst brutality would be knowingly and willing abandoning family members such as mothers, sisters, fathers, and brothers, any family member for that matter. Yes the prisoners had to survive by themselves, but it may help them live through the pain and fear knowing their family is still alive. It most likely helped Elie because no matter what, he always attempted to stay with his father helping keep at least some humanity. Therefore all of this proves that when forced and thrown into horrible situations with cruel treatment decent human beings can come out being not as decent as they were but they do not become brutes whatsoever.
Throughout his essay the author shows, that the prisoners are treated like animals. We see this when the author is describing the cells, he states, “We were waiting outside the condemned cells, a row of sheds fronted with double bars, like small animal cages.” We also see this evident when he is describing the way it took six guards to escort a “puny wisp of a man.” He says, “It was like men handling a fish which is still alive and may jump back into the water.”
Dachau and its sub camps were awful places in general, but living as a prisoner in these camps was even worse, just as the marches were. The physical characteristics that made up Dachau and its sub camps were horrifying. The prisoners that had to face the extreme conditions of camps were certainly not oblivious to everything that was happening. Marches were a significant part of prisoners’ lives during the later parts of World War II. Lives of prisoners during World War II were horrendous throughout. This was the life Max most likely endured after he left th...
I understand many people believe it was morally wrong to leave her children behind, but the truth is that Anne-Marie was the one who cared for the children and nurtured them. The children where left in good hands and Nora acknowledges that by telling her: “You Anne-Marie, you were a good mother for me when I was little” (Ibsen, 73). She knew she had raised Nora herself and that she would do the same with her own children when she was no longer
