Was Irmgard Furchner Guilty?

Eva’s fear of stealing the potatoes didn’t stop her from taking them to keep her and her sister alive. Eva’s fear of Doctor Mengele didn’t stop her from surviving the disease she was injected with. When she was supposed to die she didn’t, she persisted through all of the horrors she faced and continued to do so when the Nazi left Auschwitz. Upon their return they shot machine guns into the crowd she was in but she woke up and got back to her sister (pg 80-81).

The Nazis sealed that one square mile with brick walls topped with barbed wire and armed guards. There was no way to escape. All Jews were trapped now. If they were to try to escape, they would be shot on the spot. Irena Sendler had continued to smuggle out the children.

On the other hand, the 18 defendants were all named and granted permission to defend themselves without fictionalization. While the testimonies of the witnesses felt like an elegy about the horrors they endured, the distasteful rationalizations, disparities, and denials of the defendants created alternative versions of history. Weiss strategically placed the statements of the witnesses, perpetrators, and the judge next to each

and he wanted to kill her himself. ¨And at that very moment she spat in his face and he pushed the chair away and she died¨ (Chasia Bornstein's testimony). Seeing this tragedy made Chasia angry at the Nazis. She stood staring at the deceased girl for hours, even after everyone else had left. (Chasia Bornstein's testimony ¨Everybody had gone, but I couldn't move.

The reason for this would probably be that the Jewish overwatchers were way more sympathetic than the Germans. The camp was not extremely sanitary, but there was at least plenty of food. This is a big piece of information, because most camps had very little food, sometimes not enough for the prisoners. There wasn’t only the regular barracks in the camp, but instead there were two types of camps, the regular prisoners, and the “permanent” barracks which were for the higher thought of prisoners, mostly the people that were overseeing the camp (“Westerbork”). These people were safe for the most

And the ways they were transported to those different camps were cruel and insensitive. When they shipped the Jewish prisoners from camp to camp, they didn’t care about their health conditions. “The Hungarian police made us climb into the cars, eighty persons in each one” (22). This was their first of many ways they were transported. They shoved 80 people in a cattle car with only a couple buckets of water, and a few loaves up bread.

During this time Jews were imprisoned in “ghettos”, dirty, cramped, awful torture, death, and work camps where thousands were killed everyday, including children (Heilke). Irena Sendler was a young woman with a fearless outlook on life. She saved over 2,500 Jewish children out of the ghetto, risking her life (Mazzeo). She could have been killed for her actions, but continued to save others.

This was the prize winning pumpkin of the prisoners, those who were fed decently and were healthy. They were the model of Auschwitz, to show the rest of the world that we were okay, nothing bad was happening to us. If they’d only looked across the tracks. If they looked beyond what was presented they’d see what was really going on! The nazis however will try to do anything to cover it up, to cover all this up, they burnt down Plaszow, they destroyed synagogues, destroyed papers and everything that showed we existed.

I could become quite fond of you.’ ( Murphy, pg. 164) like that was something she should live to do, but the only thing on her mind was running away with her baby and Telek. She knew that she would never do that though, because they would kill the village, and her. The Nazi’s controled everything and if you tried to defy them they would kill you and your village, just to make a

When he was taken to the concentration camp, he was treated horribly

It all started in late August of 1942 Alice Van Damme witnessed Jews being rounded up and put on trucks near the railway station in her hometown, Antwerp. During the chaos, she heard someone talk about a man by the name of Doctor Content. She had asked her parents if she could contact this man and after they said it was fine she got in touch with the man. She was put in contact with the Sobolski family. The father had been deported already so all that was left was Mrs. Sobolski, her mother-in-law and her two children, Marcel who was four and Johnny, who was a year and a half old.

During the deportation, Mrs. Schachter lost her mind and would consistently scream of a fire that wasn’t there until people forced her to be

Not only would they all die but they were also tortured. " Here and there, the police were lashing out with their clubs: 'Faster!' I had no strength left," (19). While everyone at a camp was being hurt they could not complain or the Nazi's would kill them.

The text also states”I’ve reached the point where I hardly care whether I live or die. ”She was done with all the mistreating and felt like it was never going to end. The text says”At Bergen-Belsen,food was scarce,sanitation was awful and disease ran rampant. ”This was so so awful!! She didn't know if she was going to make it through.

Neither Anne or Elie got murdered by these horrible people thankfully. Frank and Weisel were both getting treated very badly, and they were also
