Simon indicated his desensitization to death, but upon seeing the graves with flowers and knowing when he died, he would be placed in an unmarked grave with no flowers to tie him to this world, he felt bitterness along with a small hope that he “would come across them again; that they were a symbol with a special meaning”(Wiesenthal, 1998, p. 15). Arriving to the work site, Simon is approached by a nurse inquiring if he was Jewish. Acknowledging this, she took him to a room that had been transformed into a sickroom for Karl, a dying SS soldier. Karl’s story began with his youth and Catholic upbringing and he joined the Hitler Youth and SS willingly. He then gave his account of the crime he committed and was so desperately seeking forgiveness for. Simon listened silently to the murder of more Jews and walked away grappling with the thought, “here was a dying man-a murder who did not want to be a murder but who had been made into a murder by murderous ideology.”(Wiesenthal, 1998, p. 53) but his own death could come at any time from someone such as Karl. He left in silence and through the remainder of the holocaust and in the visit to Karl’s mother Simon kept silent. Simon clearly states his silence...

...blasted camp. All of us live on what they bring,” Henri states to the narrator (Charters 152). Keeping themselves alive is of great importance. How can they even think of revolting? The language used by the narrator is also enough to prove that in no way did Borowski condone any of the things he was forced to do: “It is the camp law: people going to their death must be deceived to the very end. This is the only permissible form of charity” (156). The narrator realizes that, either way, the prisoners coming off the transports were doomed, so keeping them in the dark would allow them to follow directions calmly and have less anxiety. The narrator and ultimately Borowski himself were both at one point in that same stage of concern. The SS soldiers act in a nonchalant fashion when barking orders and sending people to their death, but the...

...Secret’’ pp. 712-713, Alternative Assignment #4 Withney Belanger November 14, 2012 English 101, Section 16 Margaret Bratsenis Work Cited Griffin Susan. “Our Secret.’’ Ways of Reading. 9th Ed. David Bartholomae, and Anthony Petrosky. Boston: Bedford/ St. Martin’s, 2011. 712-713.Print. Crystal Lee “The Effects of Parental Alienation on Children” Belanger 1 In Susan Griffin’s essay, “Our Secret,’’ she talks about her secrets and she gives detailed insights into her life and ones of those that suffered through the Holocaust. The three biggest parts that she talks about is her own feelings, secrets and fears, her own experiences, the life of Heinrich Himmler, Leo, Helene, and Chief of the Nazi SS. The way that she organized her essay was very confusing and it would jump around a lot so you never really understood how everything would come together in the end. Griffin’s says “The DNA molecule is made of long, fine paired stands. These strands are helically coiled” (Griffin 379). Griffin’s tells what happens to the nucleus, and how the inner-workings of the nucleus develop into a cell which gives rise to many cells, which will eventually become an embryo. So the cell is how someone was made with and your development can be affecting you as you growing up. Baby is born with no secrets, innocent with arms wide open and then she is implying that at that point in a person’s life is the only point where there are no secrets. Griffin’s...

...How Did the Treblinka Inmates Escape? 2 August 1943 Treblinka was a Nazi extermination camp that was part of Operation Reinhard –the code name given to the Nazi plan to murder Polish Jews. Treblinka was located 90 kilometres northeast of the city Warsaw and operated from July 1942 to October 1943. It was divided into Camp 1 and Camp 2. In the first camp, the victims were sent to the gas chambers and in the second camp their bodies were burned. Many of the victims, mainly Jews, came from the Warsaw Ghettos, and did not know where or for what reason they were travelling. Soon they found out the horrors they were about to face. As people arrived, men, women and children were separated. They were screamed at, whipped, stripped of their clothing and belongings, their hair was cut, before being sent to gas chambers that could kill several thousand a day. Those who were sick, old and newborns that would not stop crying, were taken away to be shot. Some men were taken as workers, called “Sonderkommandos”. These people had many jobs around Treblinka ranging from having to move the dead bodies and to checking for gold teeth, shaving the heads of those who were to die, rooting through the belongings for valuables, and cleaning the gas chambers. Their day-to-day jobs pushed them toward suicide, which was not uncommon. Life was unbearable and soon the inmates to realised that their only chance of leaving the camp alive was if they escaped.

...web that every person in the world is a part of. This web connects us to every person that has had an influence on us. The people we see every day, our family and friends, are the ones directly connected to us. We meet someone new, another new connection in the web. We are even connected to people we have never met. Friends of friends, and people who we may never meet but have some indirect effect on us, form the outer circle of the web. We are all connected in some way to every other person. Susan Griffin explores this theory of a complex matrix of connections in her essay “Our Secret”. She employs a style of writing that uses several different threads of stories from her own experiences and the life of Heinrich Himmler, Chief of the Nazi SS, as well as references to seemingly unrelated topics such as missile production and cells to weave the fabric of her theory of universal interconnectedness. At first glance, each passage seems unrelated to the next, but after thorough reading a juxtaposition of the threads is evident. Through her entire essay, Griffin uses underlying themes that connect each thread and anecdote to one another. One of the main themes that is interwoven through her essay is child rearing and the effect that different styles of parenting have on the child later in life. One relationship between father and son she explores is Heinrich Himmler and his father Gebhard. Gebhard was a tyrannical father, not uncommon in Germany in the 1900s, who strove to instill...

...Essential Questions: The Schutzstaffeln (SS) A) The Sturmabteilung (SA) functioned as the original paramilitary wing of the Nazi Party. It played a key role in Adolf Hitler's rise to power in the 1920s and 1930s. Their main assignments were providing protection for Nazi rallies and assemblies, disrupting the meetings of the opposing parties, fighting against the paramilitary units of the opposing parties) and intimidating Jewish citizens. SA men were often called "brown shirts" for the color of their uniform. B) Adolf Hitler founded the Schutzstaffel (SS) in April of 1925, as a group of personal bodyguards. Thanks to Himmler, this small band of bodyguards grew from 300 members in 1925 to 50,000 in 1933 when Hitler took office. Between 1934 and 1936, the SS gained control of Germany's police forces and expanded their responsibilities. Because of these new responsibilities, the SS divided into two sub-units: the Allgemeine-SS (General SS), and the Waffen-SS (Armed SS). (Simon) states that unlike the SA, who were considered to be a separate paramilitary organization working for the good of the State, the SS was under Hitler's total control. Easily recognizable by the lightning-shaped "S" insignia on their black uniforms, they soon became known as the purest of all Germans. As the SS grew and became more complex, it matured into the spine of the Nazi regime. C) The Waffen-SS (Armed SS) consisted of three main groups. The first was the Leibstandarte, Hitler's personal bodyguard...

...of innocent lives were taken in cold blood. It doesn’t matter whether your ancestors were involved, or if you were around to experience it, you only have to be human in order to feel for all of the people who were affected. Over the years studies like Milgram’s Obedience Experiment, and Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Study have shed light on some of the basic roots of human evil, but these roots are not enough to pave the way for forgiveness of the events that occurred. Simon Wiesenthal’s story “The Sunflower” exploits these evils and presently brings us into the life and character of Simon, a Jew in a concentration camp in Poland, who has ultimately been sentenced to death for just being born the way he is. He is brought to the bed of a dying SS Nazi soldier named Karl, who after telling him of his life decisions, asks for forgiveness as his dying wish. Simon leaves the soldier in silence, and we never find out if he ever truly forgives him. But Wiesenthal does leave us all with the question of what we would do in his position. With such brutalizing and horrific events, the atrocities that Karl commits are unforgivable because he willingly participates to take the lives of innocent people, which are acts that cannot be undone. When brought to the deathbed of another man, it is hard to imagine not granting his last dying wish. On page 54 Karl says, “I know that what I am asking is almost too much for you, but without your answer I cannot die in peace”. In this case it seems as though...

...Cindy Vasquez Professor Tonetti 2/4/15 ENG 023 State fair When people arrive to the festival, they see the blue, red, yellow and white lights, the smell of fried food and they see the big stuff animals to take home and how people form in lines just to enjoy the festival with all the attractions that one festival has. Many families wait for that day to come to enjoy quality time together. In the article Garrison Keillor explains how the fair is very similar to the mercer’s Italian Festival and there’s many similar things that stands out. Many families love to go to fairs to distract their mind from everything. It’s a way to take away stress. First of all Garrison Keillor explains how greasy and delicious the food is, that is one major factor that makes the Mercer festival similar to the one in the book. People wait in line just to waist their hard earned money on unhealthy greasy food, yet they enjoy every bite of it. Its one day that the family can eat anything they want because the simple fact that they can’t eat it daily. In both festivals they serve hot dogs, sausage, ice cream, fried food such as, fried snickers, French fries and fried Oreos. Second of all many families spend so much money in arcades and prize games, they either come out empty handed or with large stuffed prizes. For instance both festivals have three very similar prize games such as, basketball, ring toss, and squirt water into the clown’s mouth. People go to ATM’s to take out money to spend on games...

...I would not be the person I am today if I did not join 4-H seven years ago. 4H has affected me in the most positive ways possible, from learning new life skills, meeting new people, creating friendships, and even solidifying my career choice of being a veterinarian. When I first joined 4-H in 2010 I was living in California and was only a part of two projects. I added on two projects the next year, and I was in five projects the year I moved here to New Jersey in 2013. I am now currently apart of Fluff-N-Stuff Rabbit and Small Animal Club, Gloucester County Goat Club, Canine Can Do Dog Club, Peckin Pals Poultry Club, Helping Paws Animal Community Service Club, Taste Buds Cooking Club, Small Treasures Miniature Dollhouse Club, Senior Council, and Bulleseye Bombers Archery Club. I am also the Gloucester County Key Ambassador, a part of the South Jersey Youth Representative Council; which I represent Gloucester County teens and plan state events for south jersey 4-H teen members. I also received first runner up at the State Agricultural Ambassador Contest this past November. I have learned numerous skills and discovered many talents that I have through all of these clubs, events, and positions held. Leadership, public speaking, organization, confidence, knowledge, and communication are all skills I have learned, and continue to improve, through 4H. I have learned leadership from running for different officer positions, and helping new and younger members. My public speaking skill...

...At a young age I discovered my love for animals and a passion to giving back to my community. Eight years old and making the decision to join 4-H is the best decision a young girl could make. A close family friend was generous to give a rooster to that young girl and the love and need for farm life soon came after. Goats, chickens, rabbits, pigeons, sheep, and pigs were the animal species I have raised and shown over the last ten years. Showing animals came great responsibility as it takes dedication, time, and problem solving. Living on a farm there are always tasks that need to be met. Cleaning stalls, disease prevention, and the list goes on. Throughout my years of 4-H and since I was eight years old I have always dreamt to have my own farm and be a veterinarian. Today, this is still my goal. Being a veterinarian is not only about saving animals. It is about giving back to beloved pet owners and in some cases giving back to the world's food supply by contributing to disease prevention and longevity of animals. Furthermore, in high school I have striven to maintain a high grade point average while staying active. I am active in sports, clubs, and community service. At Indiana University Southeast I will still be able to remain active in the community. It is close to home as I will still be able to do volunteer work and be active in my colleges community activities as well as my hometowns. Going to college at IUS will not only give me this advantage, but the opportunity to...

...rhetorical situation. Defining Topic, Angle, Purpose 1. What is your chosen topic? (For example: a profile of Barb Collins, a volunteer at the local homeless shelter; a profile of “Shipwreck Days,” a citywide flea market and festival; or a profile of Burdick’s Grocery, the oldest family-owned business in town.) The annual “Martin County Fair” that recently took place in February is my topic for this week’s assignment. 2. What personal angle can you present on this topic? (Consider what is new about the topic or what unique perspective can be shared about this topic.) The Martin County Fair and most fairs in general have evolved to be more of an event for the rides. County Fairs and State Fairs were a celebration of Spring and for youths and farmers to show their “Prized” livestock. Each year the quantity of animals being shown in the fair has decreased and the fair has become more of a “Carnival”. 3. What is your purpose for writing? (What do you hope to accomplish? Why are you writing?) My purpose for writing is to inform and persuade people to take time to learn a little bit of the history behind the annual Martin County Fair. Possibly encourage young people to take an interest in raising and showing a farm animal. Analyzing your Readers You will be writing your Profile essay to your local community. Imagine you might submit the Profile to your local newspaper or have it shared in a community newsletter; the readers of those...

...A little town was unusually noisy today. There came a fair. And since very morning everybody – children, adults and elderly people- gathered in the central square. Such a fuss! The fair was a very important occasion for people. They worked hard for the whole year and took a rest during those summer days. It was greatly celebrated. The square was decorated with flags, ribbons and flowers. Music was playing loudly. Children were laughing. And artists were performing and singing. All of those noises were combined in a melody of universal holiday. A little bird was singing with the melody. She liked fairs. She liked holidays. But in that town they were so infrequent! What a pity! -Mommy! – Asked the little bird her mother that was cleaning her feathers sitting under the roof beam, - Why people don’t like the fairs? Why they have fun so rarely? -Because, my little birdie, they should work hard to deserve this holiday. -I want more holidays, mommy! - Stubbornly twittered the little bird, - Where can be more holidays? -Well, I don’t know if it is true, but one day the Old Raven told us the story about the City. There are more people, so there should be more fairs, I guess…- the mother-bird murmured thoughtfully. -The City, - the little bird repeated it dreamily. It was the day when the little bird decided to go to the City. Next morning when the mother was asleep the little bird managed to leave their cozy nest and to start its long way to the City.
