Fragments Of Isabella by Isabella Leitner Is a book that is about a girl and her family. Her and her family are jews and they start off in a place in Hungary called Kisvárda. They get deported to a concentration camp in Auschwitz. Where a lot of her family died like her mother one of her sisters and her older brother. You learn that her father went to America to try and get them immigration papers but by them time he got them it was too late for most of his family but a couple of them. The central idea of this book is a little girl and her struggle in concentration camps the author shows this by “ tomorrow is deportation”( Leitner 3) . This happened on May 28, 1944 where she started her journey in the camps. She explains her feelings and fairs of them too and how she's not ready to leave this place called home because she was living in hungary and she ends up having to move away. Something else that is showing Isabella’s struggle is ”Every since childhood,I remember them with terror in my heart.” (Isabella Leitner 5). In this quote she is talking about the people that heard them like cattle and stuff. This was also the people that would kill them and make them do horrible things.These were the people that didn't make them feel like people. “75 to a car... no toilets... no doctors ... no medication”( Leitner 7) Isabella is talking about how they were moved place to place in these little cattle cars and how horrible the conditions normally where. Imagine being shoved in
In paragraph five, he explains what he asked his father when he was a young boy: “I remember: he asked his father: “Can this be true? This is the 20th century, not the Middle Ages. Who would allow such crimes to be committed? How could the world remain silent?” This explains his feeling and from his point of view as he was a young boy. In paragraph nine, the author explains his emotions of suffering: “Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Whenever men or women are persecuted because of their race, religion or political views, the must-at the moment-become the center of the universe…” He expresses his feelings and emotions of suffering toward the Jews that were persecuted and all the lives that were lost . He explains when something bad happens, men or women being persecuted, it becomes the center of attention for what they need to focus
The Holocaust. It tested and pushed all Jews to their limit, even began to test whether they wanted to survive for themselves or stick with their family. The book Night takes place through the Holocaust and exemplifies 4 main themes. Kindness and dignity in the face of cruelty, the struggle to maintain faith in God, self preservation versus family commitment, and emotional death. The one that had stood out to me the most throughout the book was self preservation versus family commitment. In Night When Ellie arrived at the camp all he wanted to do was to stay with his father and never leave his side. Throughout the book as the plot develops Ellie begins to think more about himself rather than anything else. These feeling could be cause by a series of things which could also be related to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. With the horrid conditions and brutal rules of all of these concentration camps arises a problem, would Ellie have truly been better off on his own.

Within this book report, the analysis of the book will be given along with the summary of the book by chapter.
The story is a documentary but in a cartoon, comic type of way and is like an adventure that makes you just reflect about your life and back then. LIfe was a struggle to survive during the war if you were a Jew for they would hunt you down. Also it just reflects on feeling of how you would feel if you lost your family and all you had, even if you were rich and wealthy you would be treated like less than a human. The book leaves you thinking on many concepts and it's true how could a human be treated as less just because of your religion.
| This passage, I think, describes how much a person can change once he or she has been exposed to the many horrors present in the Jewish concentration camps. These people in these camps might have easily become mentally unstable, because they would witness murder and beatings every day; the suffering of countless people. The people themselves also had to endure unknown numbers of days in cattle cars and barracks, which could also have been traumatic. Seeing and experiencing all of these things can change a person, and the way they think. No longer is Elie the innocent child who wanted to study religion in his hometown, but now has to deal with the living hell of his mind, which has ultimately changed him.
Born in Poland, Henia Weit was the youngest of nine children in her family. She lived in a town by the name of Sambor. Unfortunately, the town was bombarded by German soldiers shortly after Hitler started his reign of terror on the Jews. Henia’s family was forced to do laborious work in a ghetto until they were all deported to a concentration camp. Fortunately for Henia, she was able to escape and never went to the concentration camp herself. Instead, she had to survive for several years alone, with only her sister to turn to.
Wiesel began his story off with having to leave his own home. All Jews in Sighet were forced to board cattle cars which would travel to one of many concentration camps. When Wiesel and his family arrived in Birkenau, they knew they were in danger. Weisel described the smell in the air, the smoke rising from chimneys, and the flames in the distance. The Jews were ordered off the cars and were told to separate women and men. He wrote, “Yet that was the moment I left my mother. There was no time to think, and I already felt my father's hand press against mine, we were alone” (Wiesel 29). This quote helps establish the purpose of the novel. The purpose of “Night” is to make the readers understand how horrible the holocaust really was. This single quote gives a small idea of what the Jews went through, such as being separated from loved ones. The imagery included in this quote helps the reader picture what truly happened in the concentration camps and what Wiesel went through
Wiesel uses imagery to paint you a picture, a terrible one but, it 's one that you will not forget. Wiesel wants you to understand that these concentration camps were no girl scout camps, but a camp where it was life or death at any given moment. Wiesel shows you through his diction that the events that occurred at that camp still eat away at him to this present day.
The memoir named Night by Elie Wiesel shows how The Jews in the concentration camps would be treated so horribly, that they had to lose their minds, there was no alternative. All it would take was a little time at their personally created hell and eventually they would fall apart. As time goes on they seem to shatter, be it the death of a loved one in front of them or the beating of them everyday. The story in whole being about how Wiesel was moved to a concentration camps and all the horrors inside them, and how they changed his views of life at the time.
Elli, her mother and all of the prisoners they meet all have to undergo numerous physical and psychological hardships when they are forced into the concentration camps. They are treated like cattle on their way to the slaughterhouse when they are taken from their houses to the ghetto, then to the synagogue, and eventually to Auschwitz, the death camp.
One important quote from the story was when Elie Wiesel and his father go to the concentration camp. “Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into a long night. Never shall I forget those flames witch consumed my faith forever” (25). This quote shows how life in the concentration camps were horrible. It shows how the nazizs were brain washing the Jewish people giving them no power or hope. Also having them weak no faith of coming out. In conclusion, This is important because people need to help the people that suffered and how the nazizs were torturing them because hitler blames them Jews. He
60). What stands out to me is how the story progresses to where Elie meets the girl after the Holocaust and the girl explains how she forged to be a “Aryan” and worked as a laborer instead of a prisoner. I would want to strive to be similar to this girl during desperate situations such as the Holocaust. There was no mention of her family along with her and I really think that she is a very brave individual for achieving the necessary components for her survival along with having no family members to support her through those tough times. Even more, she risked her life speaking German with Elie (Wiesel. 61).
The book begins with the author’s Jewish community witnessing a different community being taken away by the hungarian police. “Crammed into cattle cars by the hungarian police, they cried silently. Standing on the station platform, we too were left crying. The train disappearded over the horizon. Hehind me, someone sighed, ‘What do you expect? That’s war…’ The depotees were quickly forgotten. Days went by and life was normal agian”(6). This quote demonstates how fast people are willing to move on and ignore obvious signs of their own oppression. If someone ignores something for long enough, it could eventualy turn into somehting horrible like the
My sister is ripped from me, shouting and kicking with fear. Anger and confusion build up in young Rina’s wide, grey eyes. The German devils roll their eyes when they see our pain. They scuff, “Toughen up, Jews,” making us feel worse about this tragic life we’ve been forced to live. Rina yelps when a Nazi soldier slaps her and shoves her away from me. I think to myself, “This is the end. If Rina is gone and my parents are separated from us, how are we all supposed to live in this unfamiliar place alone?”
