Memories of the book

The Holocaust is known to all of us in some manner. We might know someone who survived this terrible event in history, or one who has learned about it in school, either way, everyone has had some kind of knowledge about the horrible things that the Nazi party did to the European Jews during the Holocaust. The Holocaust took a great toll on many lives in one way or another, one in particular being Vladek Spiegleman.  His  personality dramatically changed due to his experiences during World War II.  Vladek’s personality is so dynamic and it was the experiences that he made during the Holocaust that changed him.  In the beginning of the graphic novel Maus the reader is thrown into a scenario of the Author, Art, with many visits to his father's. Art and his father, Vladek start a conversation about Vladek's past, but Vladek is very stubborn about discussing his past with anyone. Vladek seems to be an old man who is afraid of two major things. The main fear he has taping into his memories only to relive the pain he suffered and because of this Vladek has a fear of getting too close to anyone. He thinks that he will be treated the same way that he was before by many Germans and even his own friends.

Fort Minor



This song reminds us we all have to be aware, "just take it all in" take a look at other people's situations, and appreciate what you have, even if it's small, cause it could all be gone.

The Holocaust

The Holocaust, what is the true depth of these words? 


As sad as it may seem, it affected the lives of millions because of the hate inside of one group of people, the Nazi’s. They killed them because of qualities such as individuality or compassion. Victims of the Holocaust went through a very terrible and depressing time something none of us could imagine. Many victims of the Holocaust suffered from various events which eventually led to the death. Some of the experiments were things like: sun lamp, internal irrigation, hot bath, warming by body heat, freezing/hypothermia, etc.
