Looks good, Nicole. Remeber that you are trying to respond to the question, "What happened during the Holocaust?" by using your images. Ms. N.

Every single day in your life you see children. Some may be with their mother in the groccery store tagging along like chicks following a hen. Or, they could be on a field trip to some museum with their class piers. They all look happy and full of joy. The sun is throwing its bright beams on the little happy faces and all seems well. But it wasn’t always like this. During the holocost children were treated terribly, if they survived. In the holocost children were sent to do the dangerous and hard jobs their elders did not want to do. In one photo it shows children standing on top of one another to sneak food into the ghettos. If they were caught they would probably be killed. Another photo shows young children selling books to people so they could earn money to feed themselves. The last picture shows a little boy lieing with is face on the unforgiving street. He is trying to sleep. His older brother waches over him so no one will hurt him. The oldest sister cries her eyes out. They are all homeless and have very little chance to live if a snake faced natzi came along. These children feel the same way as a child with an abusive parent feel.

What are the signs of trouble? 1. When the foregin Jews were expelled. 2. Moshe the Beadles story 3. When the soldiers came 4. the ghettos 5. Being expelled My Reaction It is terrible for the jews to be expelled from their own homes. The story that Moshe told was devestating. I am sad that those things happened to families and people.

How do the Jews of Sighet react? 1. They were sad at first but the incident was forgotten soon. 2. They think Moshe wanted attention. 3. They thought the soldiers were nice. 4. Were scared at first but then estaplished thier own community wich they thought was good. 5. Were very sad to leave their homes. A few thought that the soldiers were doing it for their own good. My Reaction I am completely shocked that the Jews acctually thought that the German soldiers were nice and latter thought they were trying to HELP THEM! How could they be so calm?

Madame Schachter is a mom whos husband and 2 oldest sons were taken befor her and her youngest son were. She starts to go insane. In the middle of the night she sceams that she sees a fire. She says it is a furnace. She does it every night. When they finally get to Auschwitz there is a huge chimney which has fire coming out the top. My Reaction I am sad that she goes insane because of the loss of her family.
 * Who is Madame Schachter?**

What happens to her? She is hit by the other Jews at night so she will remain quiet. They later bound and gag her.When they reach Auschwitz they all leave the cart except Madame Schachter and her son. My interpetation of this is that the soldiers kill her and her son. My reaction It is sad that she is hit and hurt because she is sad. If my assumption is correct then it is terrible that she was killed.

Acts of Kindness 1.being able to sit with his father 2.not having gold cap taken out because he was "sick" 3.the french girls words 4.Elie teaching his father how to march 5.the franek giving him extra bread 6. the jews helping him up My Reaction It is good that there is still some good in people in that evil place.

Acts of brutality 1. the gold cap 2. Idek beatting Elie 3.idek beatting Elie's father 4.Franken beatting Elie's father 5.Idek trying to rape the girl 6. Elie getting whipped 7. shooting the man who wanted soup 8.the hangings 9.making people look at them My Reaction I am sad but not surprised at all the brutallity that the Jews had to go through.

Germans' attempt to control things 1.selection 2.the bells 3. giving Elie an operation 4.moving My reaction: I am surprised that the SS and kapos cared so much as to give Elie an operation. The germans did not have to try to control the Jews

Jews' attempts to control things 1.not eatting the soup on Rosh Hashanah 2. holding the ceremony 3. giving Elie the knife and spoon 4.Elie leaving My Reaction: I am surprised that the Jews dared to do these thing and control things, but they did.
