The Book Thief and The Devil’s Arithmetic both focus on the prejudice Hitler had on different types of people during World War II. Liesel and Hannah both lost someone they had dearly loved. Liesel lost Rudy and Hannah lost many members of her family. In a time of fearfulness, both had told stories to the people surrounding them. Although both were not seen as equal in the eyes of many during their time, I see them as courageous and brave heroes after what they underwent.
Throughout the book, apart from describing her experiences of living in Auschwitz, Livia Bitton-Jackson focuses on presenting certain ideas to the reader. The three main themes are: hope; taking risks; and growing up.
During the Holocaust six million Jews lost their lives, while others lost their friends, family and dignity. Helen Waterford discusses her survival in the novel Parallel Journeys . Through Helen Waterford’s journey to hide, survive, and rejoin society, she realizes that she cannot dwell on what has happened to her but learn and become wise from what she has endured.
“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness,” Desmond Tutu once said (“Desmond Tutu Quotes”). During the Holocaust, the Jews were treated very badly but some managed to stay hopeful through this horrible time. The book Parallel Journeys by Eleanor Ayer shows how Helen Waterford and Alfons Heck who had two very different stories but managed to stay hopeful. Helen was a Jew who went into hiding for awhile before being taken away from her family and being sent to a concentration camp. Alfons was a member of the Hitler Youth where he became the youngest member of the German air force. To him, Hitler was everything and he would die any day for him and his country. As for Helen, Hitler was the man ruining her life. The Holocaust was horrible to live through but some managed to survive because of the hope they contained.
The Silber Medal winning biography, “Surviving Hitler," written by Andrea Warren paints picture of life for teenagers during the Holocaust, mainly by telling the story of Jack Mandelbaum. Avoiding the use of historical analysis, Warren, along with Mandelbaum’s experiences, explains how Jack, along with a few other Jewish and non-Jewish people survived.
In the movie Hannah is chosen by her Aunt Eva to open the door to the prophet Elijah. When she walks into the house she finds herself in the presence of Rivka and Rivka’s mother.

Wisps of burnt-out curtains drape over shattered window frames, fluttering helplessly like a bird with injured wings. Pieces of wood collapse snapping once they hit the ground. Smoke swirls around in the wind. No sound can be heard except for the occasional sobs escaping the chapped lips of people visiting what is left of their homes. The once busy city of Amsterdam is now nothing but a city of forgotten souls. In 1942, the Franks and the Van Daans moved into a warehouse located in Amsterdam to escape the perilous world outside, where the Holocaust was taking place. Jews like the Franks and the Van Daans had their rights taken away from them. The Gestapo, the police working for the Nazis, rounded up people to be sent to concentration camps, where people worked to death. Margot Frank was one of them. Many Jews had to leave the country to escape, while the two families, and later on a man named Dussel, lived on the top floor of the warehouse called the Secret Annex. Living in such a small space and having sparse food with so many people was not easy. On weekdays, not a noise was to be made otherwise the workmen below would hear them. Food and other items had to be brought in by Miep and Mr. Kraler, who risked their lives to help the members of the Secret Annex. To keep herself company, Anne Frank wrote in her diary almost every day. Later on, her diary was published, and two authors decided that they would write a play based on the published diary, named The Diary of Anne Frank. Goodrich and Hackett created memorable characters in their play. Among these people, Otto Frank stood out, who emerged as a good leader because he put himself before others, made rough decisions when problems rose, and stayed positive and optimistic even dur...
... was nicknamed Chaya meaning life. Hannah's Aunt was confused as how Hannah knew what her best friend and her had gone through when the nazis came and exactly what happened terrified her Aunt. Hannah's Aunt just hugged her feeling terrible that Hannah knew all this. So in conclusion this story tells the story of the Holocaust the best because it goes through the life of someone who lived through the Holocaust very detailed and to the point. The part that makes the Story even Better is that it shows the way someone had lived in the Holocaust in someone else's body. Basically the story of the Holocaust was told by the soul of someone else in another's body with the same name.

It was a sunny day with a sweet aroma of blooming tulips. The sunlight glittered on their faces as the breeze rattled the chestnut tree above. There was an occasional giggle as they talked, but there was also a hint of discomfort and awkwardness between them as they peeked at each other’s face and recoiled when the other looked up. When the bell rang twice, I saw them say goodbye and walk away from each other. In the darkness of the crowd, a glimmer flashed into my eyes from Hannah’s cheeks.
The play version of The Diary Of Anne Frank tells about the life of a teen girl while she and her family are hiding during World War I. In this play, Anne struggles to live her life to the fullest and finding her independence while in the annex with seven other people. While the play remains widely read and watched today, a new movie version of Anne’s life has adapted the features of the play to create a modern way of telling it. In this movie, the audience sees Anne go from her regular life to a very abnormal life stuck in an annex for over two years. Although, the play and movie versions of Anne Frank’s life differ in their organizational structure, both works focus on the same central conflicts and the same way of presenting all of the information needed.
The people holding Rebecca hostage expect a jew to be selfish and only concerned with his own safety but through Isaac’s bravery the reader sees the competition he has for his daughter. Scott creates a stark contrast between what outside characters expect of Isaac and what the reader expects of him and the contrast creates empathy for Isaac in his struggle. Another way the contrast in the way Rebecca and Isaac’s relationship is perceived helps to show both people as more human is with the love each character has for each other well other characters feel they are nothing more than selfish Jewish peasants. The morality and courage that
On June 12, 1929, at 7:30 AM, a baby girl was born in Frankfort, Germany. No one realized that this infant, who was Jewish, was destined to become one of the worlds most famous victims of World War II. Her name was Anne Frank. Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, by Anne Frank and B.M. Mooyaart, was actually the real diary of Anne Frank. Anne was a girl who lived with her family during the time while the Nazis took power over Germany. Because they were Jewish, Otto, Edith, Margot, and Anne Frank immigrated to Holland in 1933. Hitler invaded Holland on May 10, 1940, a month before Anne?s eleventh birthday. In July 1942, Anne's family went into hiding in the Prinsengracht building. Anne and her family called it the 'Secret Annex'. Life there was not easy at all. They had to wake up at 6:45 every morning. Nobody could go outside, nor turn on lights at night. Anne mostly spent her time reading books, writing stories, and of course, making daily entries in her diary. She only kept her diary while hiding from the Nazis. This diary told the story of the excitement and horror in this young girl's life during the Holocaust. Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl reveals the life of a young innocent girl who is forced into hiding from the Nazis because of her religion, Judaism. This book is very informing and enlightening. It introduces a time period of discrimination, unfair judgment, and power-crazed individuals, and with this, it shows the effect on the defenseless.
“Well, we have to, Hannah. This is going to be our new home.” She tried to smile but I could tell it wasn’t her usual bright smile. I shrugged it off though and kept just putting one foot in front of the other. Everyone had slowed down as they realized that we were almost to our destination.
