Was the Call for Diaries, fulfilled?
I believe that the Call for Diaries was fulfilled. The Call for Diaries happened during the Holocaust when a group named the ¨Oneg Shabbat” wanted to gather and record first hand accounts to show non-Jews how poorly people in the ghettos were being treated. They encouraged everyone (not just writers, historians etc.) to document how their life was during this tragic point of history. All the accounts collected were diverse, some were diaries, poems, testaments or letters. The writing style doesn't matter, what the Oneg Shabbat wanted were first hand accounts and that is exactly what they got.
One of the first the first hand accounts I think everyone has heard of is ¨The Diary of Anne Frank¨. The dairy …show more content…
The worker wrote the mission and the purpose of the Call for Diaries, he wrote ¨...for everyone, whether or not he has the ability, to write down everything he has witnessed or has heard from those who have witnessed-the atrocities which the barbarians committed in every Jewish town.¨ In this line he is saying that no matter how good of a writer they are, they need to write down everything that is happening to them, because they don't want Hitler to succeed and permanently silence and wipe out all of the Jewish population. This fits into the Call for Diaries because shows first hand what people were thinking at the time of the holocaust and what they were planning to do. Another example of their spiritual resistance is the poem by Pavel Friedman called ¨The Butterfly¨. In this poem Friedman used symbolism to represent a number of things (non-jews, hope, happiness etc), it depends on how you see it. I can tell because in the last lines of Friedman´s poem it says ΅Only I never see another butterfly. That butterfly was the last one. Butterflies don't live in here, In the ghetto” This line is saying that its been awhile since he has seen ¨The Butterfly¨, he hasn't seen one because they weren't sent/are in the ghetto with all the Jews. This poem is a first-hand account of how people felt and how they were being treated during the holocaust, so this poem also would fit into what the Oneg Shabbat was looking for because it lets see first hand how jewish people were feeling after being so harshly discriminated by
