  • Sarah's Key Social Injustice Quotes

    1692 Words  | 4 Pages

    Sarah and her mother are sought out by the French Police after an order goes out to arrest all French Jews. When Sarah’s little brother starts to feel the pressures of social injustice, he turns to his sister for guidance. Michel did not want to go with the French Police, so he asks Sarah to help him hide in their secret cupboard. Sarah does this because she loves Michel and does not want him to be discriminated against. Sarah, her mother, and her father get arrested for being Jewish and are taken to a concentration camp just outside their hometown. Sarah thinks Michel, her beloved brother, will be safe. She says, “Yes, he’d be safe there. She was sure of it. The girl murmured his name and laid her palm flat on the wooden panel. I’ll come back for you later. I promise” (Rosnay 9). During this time of inequality, where the French were removing Sarah and her mother just because they were Jewish, Sarah’s brother asked her for help. Sarah promised her brother she would be back for him and helped him escape his impending arrest. Sarah’s brother believed her because he looks up to her and loves her. As the story continues, when Sarah falls ill and is in pain, she also turns to her father for comfort, “at one point she had been sick, bringing up bile, moaning in pain. She had felt her father’s hand upon her, comforting her” (Rosnay 55).

    1497 Words  | 3 Pages

    Jews have perished because of their beliefs since the beginning of time but never have so many Jews been persecuted worldwide as they were in World War II. Anne Frank’s diary reaches a place within all of our hearts because it reminds us how easily the innocents can suffer. Sometimes we may choose to close our eyes or look the other way when unjustifiable things happen in our society and Anne’s tale reminds us that ignorance, in part, claimed her life. Sadly, her story is but one of many of those who died in the Holocaust and as with other Jews, her fate was determined by the country she lived in, her sex and her age.

    Just like in the novel prejudice changed many people’s lives, “They would swagger and pick on outsiders and persecute anyone who didn’t speak as they did” (9). When you do not get to know people, it feels unjust to treat them as if they did something terrible when in reality they did not. Unfortunately, things like that still happen. Not too long ago there has been news on policemen acting violently towards people of particular races because they might be afraid or prejudice against them. America is a great free country, but there are things that still need to improve and that is an aspect of our lives that are still connected to the time in history illustrated in the novel. Finally, just like Jeanne and her family, many people are still being sent to concentration camps in modern day. “Gaps showed between the planks, and as the weeks passed and the green wood dried out, the gaps widened. Knotholes gaped in the uncovered floor”(15). In different countries people are still put into camps like this, most likely in the same terrible

  • Auschwitz Cruelty

    894 Words  | 2 Pages

    ... inferior. Auschwitz is the most notorious concentration camp there was. Two things this camp had that others didn’t was the Gas Chambers and Dr. Mengele. His experiments took on a whole new meaning of cruel and the gas chambers were just another way to kill people. This paper gives me a better understanding of Night because sometimes it’s easier to understand what someone has gone through if you know the extent of the situation. Through my research of Auschwitz I found the extent of cruelty surpassed even my imagination. One thing Elie Wiesel said has stuck with me throughout all of my research on Auschwitz “To forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.” (book's introduction xv) It made me realize that we need to remember the Holocaust and the Genocide that took place during this time because letting it happen again is just as bad as forgetting.

  • The Unimaginable Experiences In Elie Wiesel's The Survivor

    563 Words  | 2 Pages

    For those who survived the unimaginable experiences from concentration camps have come out with extraordinary stories to tell. These survivors share their stories through abundant amounts of literature ranging from diaries, novels, and documentaries. Their testimonies allow us to know the truth and what really occurred behind closed doors; history was developed. The book called The Survivor by Terrence Des Pres describes stories of what men and women had to endure while being held in a Nazi concentration camp. The world to which “survivors speak is very much a part of their condition as witnesses. They speak for someone, but also to someone, and the response the evoke is integral to the act they perform” (Pres 41). Holocaust survivor Viktor E. Frankl describes a time where he would be laying in his bunk while overhearing another prisoner having a nightmare but wouldn’t wake them up because “he knew that no matter how bad the dream might be, the reality was worse” (75).
