The Book Thief

Hello, as the other day I talk you about a book called "The Boy In The Striped Pyjama". Now I am going to talk you about another book called "The Book Thief". This book is narrate by the death who tells the history of a nine years old girl called Liesel Meminger. This girl live with a host family in a village near to Múnich, during the Second War World. That family has a Jew hide in the basement of their house.
                                                                       
 


This book shows us that not all the Germans didin´t like Jews, as some Germans helped them. And also that in the War the Jews were not the only persons that suffer because the Germans also suffer as they lost some members of their families,  friends and their houses.

ANNE FRANK

 

Anne Frank(Frankfurt am Main, June 12, 1929 - Bergen-Belsen, March 12, 1945), she was a Germaewish girl, world famous thanks to the Diary of Anne Frank, the edition in book form of her diary, where he recorded nearly two and a half years he spent hiding with her ​​family and four other people, from the Nazis in Amsterdam (Netherlands) during the Second World War. Her family was captured and taken to various German concentration camps. The only survivor of the eight people in hiding was Otto Frank, her father. Anne was sent to the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz on September 2,1944 and, later, to the concentration camp of Bergen-Belsen, where she died of typhus on March 12, 1945, just days before she was released. In 1947, just two years after the war, Otto published the paper under the title back home (in Dutch Het Achterhuis).

German state police on Monday arrested a 93-year-old man suspected of being a former guard at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp during the Holocaust, the prosecutor's office said in a statement.
A news release did not name the suspect, in accordance with German law, but it said he had been arrested on suspicion of being an accessory to murder.
The suspect had served as a guard at the camp in Poland from the autumn of 1941 until its liberation in early 1945, the prosecutor's office said in the statement.
Following a search of the man’s apartment, the suspect was brought before a judge and was in investigative custody while an arraignment was being prepared, the statement said.
A spokesperson for the prosecutor’s office could not immediately be reached for comment.
According to German media reports, the prosecutor’s office had launched an investigation against the man in November 2012.
About 1.1 million people, including 960,000 Jews, died at Auschwitz, according to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

My opinion about "The Boy In The Striped Pyjama"

Hello I´m Alicia and as I told you I have read "The Boy In The Striped Pyjama". Now I´m going to tell you about what I think about the book:

I enjoy alot this book.

 I think that this book is very good because it talks about an historical event see from the eyes of a 9-years-old boy that didn´t know almost nothing about the holocaust.
In the book you can appreciate that Bruno didn´t mind if Shamuel is a Jew or not.
The book is so sad because at the end when Bruno and Shamuel die, its easy to cry.
Because when you are reading the book you think why for the only reason of have another religion they have to kill Jews, it doesn´t have sense.
 When Shamuel is talking to Bruno you read of the horrible life that Jews have on the concentration camp.

 

 

 

Terezin drawings

Hello, we (Alicia and Celia) are going to talk you about The Terezin Drawings 

This are drawings painted by the Jewish children in the concentration camp of Terezin during the Second War World.
This drawings are very impressive as this childrens painted what they saw, but there is always one drawing that is for you the more impressive, here are the drawings that we think that are the more shocking:                                         

For me, Alicia, this is the most impressive drawing. It is called Eating and soup distribution. It was paint by Ella Liebermann (16 years old)
II think this drawing is very impressive because what is something daily for us, for them was the only good part of the day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  Hi I'm Celia and I read the book of  "The Boy In The Striped Pyjama"  and  I going to tell to you my impression of the book.

For me the book is very good.

It has interesting parts little strange for example when they move through another place the work of father and mother do not tell them where they are going or where his father works.

I found it a bit strange that Bruno did not realize what was happening.

And the book talk about Bruno a children of 9 years old that lead to a concentration camp and be friend whit Shamuel (Jewish child).

I think that the book is a bit sad because at the end of the book the two boys (Bruno and Shamuel) die.
