She was kind of mean to push the older lady out of the way but then again there was a lot of people who were more rude to others than she was. She heard a call for 50 volunteers to go to the neighboring town. She drug her mother to the assembly place and pushed an older lady out of the way to make sure that they both got on the train.

    When autobiographies are too bizarre, readers tend to believe that the story is fiction. The novella Night is an autobiography about Elie Wiesel and his struggle through the world’s largest genocide, the Holocaust. However, some people do not believe that the novella is an autobiography, but rather a fictional story about a fictional character in the Holocaust setting. The novella, Night, by Elie Wiesel should be read as a nonfiction autobiography because of the shocking similarities between the novella and the German genocide, and because other survivors share the same story. Before discussing the argument, there are a few key facts that need to be spread out on the table.…

    Ruth Kluger’s memoir, Still Alive: A Holocaust Girlhood Remembered, documents the author’s experience surviving the Holocaust as well as the shocking antisemitism that preceded it. In her blunt, straightforward manner, Kluger guides the reader through her childhood—a trying time in her life which she refuses to idealize—to her present situation in America. In addition to the historical accounts of the Holocaust, Kluger’s memoir reveals several dimensions of her relationship with Judaism and her Jewish heritage. Kluger’s perception of Judaism is influenced not only by her experience as a Jew during the Holocaust but also through her own personal view of what it means to be Jewish. Nazis perceived Judaism as strictly racial, regarding the religious aspect as irrelevant and attributing negative stereotypes about Jewish appearance and behavior to an inescapable, predetermined heritage.…
