I thought that the Nazi guard was like the Nazi in my book because he ran the trains to take Jews to death camps. On the timeline, It had some stuff that really mad me sad like when Jews had to close some stuff down.
I thought the news article Cameron brought in was awfully sad. To have had to survive in a camp in that time must have been a true miracle. The fact that he will always have the reminder of it on his arm is just plain sad. There is no happiness in it other than he is still alive today. I would definately not want to have been in the gaurds postition either. It really isn't all that fair, because he was forced to do it. There was absolutely no way out of it other than the result of death. It is unbelievable what the Nazis did... truely unbelievable.
The paper that cameron brought in was very sad. When I heard that that the guard had helped kill over 28,000 Jews it was unbelievable. 1st of all how can somebody even think of murder and 2nd of all when its over something DUMB. How can somebody even think so badly about someone because of their hair color, skin color, eye color, ethnicity, and different opinions?
Even though we only went to the first part of the timeline today it was sad and I am sure it is going to get worse. The book I'm reading is extremely sad and torturous. The thought of how 1 person can make a million people believe that someone is lower than a dog and have the right to kill them is unfair. I am so glad I wasn't part of that decade. Surely enough anti- semitism still goes on today on in this world. SO SAD! :-(
The news paper that Cameron brought in was very interesting, but sad at the same time. It was sad to see the senior having that tatoo on his arm after all these years. The Nazis guard that was on the paper was interesting since its weird to see Nazis that used to live in the 1940s.
Today when Cameron brought the article about the guard who had killed many jews, it made me sad.It is unbeleivable that someone could kill someone.It is sad to beleive that they were killing them because of their ethnicity,hair color, and eye color.Also it was started by a one man.I am just confused that the killing of Jews cought on so fast. :(
This whole idea of one person getting so many others to believe that he was right is horrifying. I think it is horrible that someone hated certain people so much that he would kill them. Looking at that timeline really got in my head everything that was happening to Jews. It also made me think how we have it pretty good nowadays.
I feel the same way Anne does to want people to go against others that have done no harm to anyone IS horrifying.The timeline was also sad to see some of the pictures in your mind. It's interesting how someone can just shoot another like they have no feelings, like they don't care if you shoot them. It makes me wonder how Hitler or any of his soildiers could sleep at night knowing that they are murderers. Lastly, why didn't any one tell him "Hey, you need some help. These people haven't done ANYTHING wrong!!!"? :O
I agree with Alexa and Anne because its terrible that someone tried to make everyone believe that THEY are right and no on else. The timeline was very sad too. It really makes you realize that this is very real. A subject like this always sticks in your mind. Like Alexa said, I wish someone would help the Jews and tell the Germans that the Jews are 100% INNOCENT!!!! :(
The article Cameron brought in was sad. How could someine just kill 27,900. It's just plain sad. Plus there wasn't even a reason. I don't know that I couldn't live with myself after doing that. I mean I know he didn't have a choice. But then again he did. It was be killed or kill. Which is a HUGE DECISION!
The Newspaper Article was interesting. It made me curious and I knew that there would be much controversy engulfing it. I knew that he had done the wrong thing (obviously) but I also have to think about myself in that situation. This idea is a lot like slavery. I remember the exact same things being said about those poor African-Americans, and they are all true. Everyone SAYS they would have rebelled against other Americans, but would they really have? Not to question the hearts in those who say they definitively would NOT have dared to harm the African-Americans, but they had three choices. There choices were help and have a much higher chance of being killed, don't buy slaves and don't bother with the matter, or buy 1-2 slaves if you were rich. Same thing with Nazi soldiers (I capitalized Nazi since blogger said it was spelled wrong otherwise, I don't have any respect for them what so ever, and certainly not enough to capitalize their name). This guard was faced with a decision and he chose to buy the 1 or 2 slaves. He chose wrong. There is no excuse for what he did. There never will be an excuse for what he did. There never has been an excuse for what he did. I just wanted to get that straight. He aided in the killing of 1,000's of people, which is wrong, and I wanted to get that straight. He could just have easily said I will not help you animals, leave my home in peace. There is something interesting that I would like to have known in the article though, did he have a family, that would make this decision that much harder. He may have been a forced laugh, or a chosen one. He may use Mr. Painter's so called "defense" also. The only problem is how the offense may react. For what he did, he should be sentenced in jail. There is no accountability in a person who kills. Even if he only took away one life, tortured a single Jewish person that should be enough to guilt a man into the truth. He IS guilty. He has defied the law of life. He will be troubled by those memories until he pays for them. He will never pay enough for them. He will never pay so greatly as to lose his family 1,000 times, or to be shot to death 1,000 times. He may as well take this as a gracious punishment. He does not deserve such a light-hearted punishment, so should therefore be thankful to have gotten one.
I was looking through the timeline then I saw the Kristallnacht (Night of broken glass). I clicked it and I was like WOW. Nazi just going into Jewish towns burning synagogues, looting jewish houses and businesses, and killing 91 Jews. WOW! Also, 30,000 Jewish men were arrested and imprisoned in concertration camps. But the question to me is WHY? But WOW! It is just so shocking. :O
I agree with Anne and Alexa. Hurting or harming anyone in any certain way, physical or mental, is horrifying. It must be terrible being the man who was a Nazi in the report Cameron read. I wonder how must he regret what he had done. Obviously he did regret a lot to go to someone who was a Jew in the war and say sorry. I also wonder how scared the Jewish man was. I would be nervous because you didn't know what the man would do next. The Holocaust is sad and I think terrible how Hitler could delude all of those people to think the Jewish people are bad.
The newspaper that cameron brought to school today was VERY sad...Its unbelievable how a guard could KILL/MURDER about 27,900 Jews!!!!I cant believe that so many people could do such a thing to others...just because of 1 person who said that it was OKAY!!!!...and also because of their ethnicity,appearence,etc... Its ALL just VERY sad and heartbreaking...:( ♥maddie h. #15
This entire subject is disturbing. For that fomer Nazi gard to kill around 28,000 Jews ment that he was cold hearted. Either that or he felt fear when he saw other Nazis holding their guns, that in his mind always seemed to be pointed at his face. If a person thought, and thought hard, about all the people that man killed, they would discover a deep hatred for him. A hatred they could not control. The man is a criminal and I'd laugh at any lawyer trying find an argument to say that he isn't. But the families that lost a loved one at the hands of that man would not be able to laugh. All those families that lost a loved one, a faimly member, a cherished soul, ended up like those people that the Nazi killed. They were silenced forever. And that's why they can not laugh.
That's heart breaking you would think that people would under stand that those people had a life, family, dreams, hopes for the future. But no. I guess some people just dont care. I know this saying i dont know exactly who wrote it but I'm sure someone could find it some where

ReplyDeleteThat's heart breaking you would think that people would under stand that those people had a life, family, dreams, hopes for the future. But no. I guess some people just dont care.
I know this saying i dont know exactly who wrote it but I'm sure someone could find it some where
"To the world you may be one person, but to one person you maybe the world" :'(
If only the Nazis understood that....>(
I'm interested to see how this case turns out. Some say he's too old for court but I think nobody can be too old to recieve a punishment.
