This passage stood out to me because it was similar to another turning point in the book, when Helen was taken to Auschwitz.]]> 2019-04-18 18:23:56 UTC https://padlet.com/10033410/27oosulrbbh3/wish/352639621 10033410 https://padlet.com/10033410/27oosulrbbh3/wish/352865547 I chose this quote for a book snap because it was a major turning point in the war: one of the first times Hitler had lost a major military operation. This quote stood out to me because it was different that all the others, due to the way it described something that hadn't happened in the book yet.]]> 2019-04-20 16:35:38 UTC https://padlet.com/10033410/27oosulrbbh3/wish/352865547 10033410 https://padlet.com/10033410/27oosulrbbh3/wish/353455049 I chose this passage because it was the only time as a child that Alfons lets anyone suppress his Nazism. This passage stood out to me because after it, Alfons’s uncle isn’t mentioned or seen as an anti-Nazi.]]> 2019-04-23 17:01:41 UTC https://padlet.com/10033410/27oosulrbbh3/wish/353455049 10033410 https://padlet.com/10033410/27oosulrbbh3/wish/353926108 At this time in the book, it is current day and Helen & Alfons are giving a lecture at a California high school. This passage stands out because it shows the reader how devoted Alfons was to nazism; it also shows how Helen and Alfons’s stories have come together.]]> 2019-04-24 21:30:34 UTC https://padlet.com/10033410/27oosulrbbh3/wish/353926108 10033410 https://padlet.com/10033410/27oosulrbbh3/wish/353931657 In this point in the book, Alfons was debating wether to flee his French captors (who would kill anyone seen leaving the village) to rejoin the luftwaffe, but he remembers that his old friend said to always choose life if you are given a choice. I choose this excerpt because it was an example of Dramatic Irony, the reader knows that Hans is dead but Alfons doesn’t.]]> 2019-04-24 22:01:06 UTC https://padlet.com/10033410/27oosulrbbh3/wish/353931657 10033410 https://padlet.com/10033410/27oosulrbbh3/wish/353934407 During this portion of the book, Helen is near death in a labor camp when she is liberated by Russian troops.  This passage stands out because it marks the end of Helen’s experiences during WWII.]]> 2019-04-24 22:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/10033410/27oosulrbbh3/wish/353934407 10033410 https://padlet.com/10033410/27oosulrbbh3/wish/354163029 At this point in the book, Helen is being transported to Auschwitz via boxcar in terrible conditions. This passage exemplifies what the Nazis would make the Jews go through just for an excuse to beat them further.]]> 2019-04-25 15:47:43 UTC https://padlet.com/10033410/27oosulrbbh3/wish/354163029 10033410 https://padlet.com/10033410/27oosulrbbh3/wish/354166806 This book snap was from when American troops liberated a concentration camp and were so enraged that they ordered the civilians of the nearby town to come and see the rotting bodies of all the prisoners. This book snap shows some of the first efforts to make the Holocaust public.]]> 2019-04-25 15:56:53 UTC https://padlet.com/10033410/27oosulrbbh3/wish/354166806 10033410 https://padlet.com/10033410/27oosulrbbh3/wish/354172017 Around this time, a high ranking Nazi was planning to assassinate Adolf Hitler with a bomb. This book snap shows one of attempts to stop Nazism. ]]> 2019-04-25 16:08:06 UTC https://padlet.com/10033410/27oosulrbbh3/wish/354172017 10033410 https://padlet.com/10033410/27oosulrbbh3/wish/354173639 During this time in the book, Alfons was able to meet Hitler in a meeting where it was officially announced to some of the highest ranking Nazis, including Alfons, that Germany was losing the war. I chose this excerpt for a book snap because it tells how fanatic Alfons was towards Hitler.]]> 2019-04-25 16:11:50 UTC https://padlet.com/10033410/27oosulrbbh3/wish/354173639
