Ghetto

Jewish Uprisings In the article “Resistance in Ghettos” between 1941 and 1943 jews had an underground movement in many ghettos such as Treblinka. The jews would organize a “hit and run” type of attacks where they would trap germans kill and loot them. The jews would also plan to escape the the ghetto and go to france to live their lives. Jews knew that the uprisings wouldn’t cause the germans to stop treating jews horribly so very few jews actually committed to being part of these uprisings. In…

thousands of women, even kids. This made a total causalities of 7 million. Hitler had a group called The Nazis where they killed people in different and horrible ways. Not only killed but destroyed everything like houses, stores and entire towns called Ghettos where the Jews used to live. Hitler had this opinion where he didn 't like Jews and wanted an only race in Europe. Just tall people with blue eyes and blonde hair. The places where he got rid of the Jews was in the concentration camps.…

My first remarkable fact is the resistance Jews showed against the Nazis. The story of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising was something I 've never learned about before, I always thought “why didn 't the Jews fight back?” when in reality they did. The Jewish Fighting Organization was very inspiring to learn about. To fight against something so disgusting and inhuman was so brave for those last 700 Jewish teenagers. They didn 't let the daunting numbers of the Nazis scare them away nor did they let the…

Some Phun Intended The first time you hear music, it is not even a sound. It is a feeling, a sensation one got from inside their mother. Whether it was Willie Nelson, Beethoven, or Slim Shady, the rhythm felt as such a small person stays with us. Later, we listened to whatever television show was playing in the room we were in; or the music our parents played for us in the car on the way to school. It is not until we are about eleven or twelve that we truly discover what we enjoy listening to.…

I’m Adam and I am eleven years old. I am the only son of my mother Adina and my father Levi. I live in Poland, in the Warsaw Ghetto. We were forced into coming here on the 26th of August, 1943. We are trapped in here and surrounded by a 10 foot wall, built by the Germans to imprison us. Every day is a struggle for survival, I try to smuggle everything I can find into the ghetto for my starving family, to feed my family or trade for food. Late one afternoon, I was bringing soup to my sick…

There was once a time in my life when I believed growing up hispanic in the ghetto parts of California was considered a recipe for failure, until my family moved to Washington State. While attending elementary school, I the was bullied by the rest of the kids in school, but the teachers never seemed to notice and that made my situation worse and made me feel left out. When I entered high school, I never participated in any school events or sports because I was overweight, and self conscience…

Schindler’s List is a film based on the true story of Austrian industrialist Oskar Schindler. Responsible for saving over 1,100 Polish Jews during the Second World War by using them as labor in is kitchenware factory. As the film opens, you get a glimpse of the suave businessman bent on making a fortune as a war profiteer off the backs of Polish slave labor. Initially, Schindler jumps at the chance to exploit cheap Jewish labor in his factory (knowing full and well this is morally wrong)…

“Arielle, are you all packed for the ghettos?” I was furious that we were leaving home. I knew the reason why, but that still didn’t make it fair. It was my birthday too! I contested to my Mom about leaving. “It is fine sweetie. We are just moving in with our own kind. If you think about it, we are safer that way.” I could tell Mom was unnerved about this order deep down, but she wanted to hide it so I wouldn’t be scared. That still didn’t change the fact that I was forced to leave my best…

I live in the “ghetto,” or at least that’s the notion I received when I first moved into my neighborhood. The houses are old and it’s never quiet, I sleep with my sister in a small bedroom, getting up early every morning and seeing the drunken people from last night’s parties. The challenges I faced on a daily bases was the low income me and my family had to survive on. My parents worked day and night just to get food on the table and pay the bills. I knew that this wasn’t the life I wanted. I…

Szechuan restaurant called Spicy Bampa, which is generally crowded with Chinese-Americans who are attracted to the hot pot buffet appeal. Restaurants like Spicy Bampa are catalysts for change (Mooney, 2011). In Sharon Zukin’s “Why Harlem is Not a Ghetto,” she discussed Leah Abraham and her husband’s fusion…
