This stood out because up until this point Alfons was completely under Hitler and the Nazi’s command, but here, he hesitates and actually thinks what he was doing. #hesitation]]> 2019-03-29 19:13:36 UTC https://padlet.com/100195/anwnc84djd1t/wish/346683454 100195 https://padlet.com/100195/anwnc84djd1t/wish/349064270 I chose this excerpt because it shows how quick Alfons was able to decide where he wanted to be and what he wanted to do with his life. I was shocked that he had, within 3 weeks decided something he was passionate for flying. #dedication]]> 2019-04-05 19:15:45 UTC https://padlet.com/100195/anwnc84djd1t/wish/349064270 100195 https://padlet.com/100195/anwnc84djd1t/wish/352657168 This excerpt shocked me, and it seemed to somewhat shock Helen based on her wording. It was just surprising to see the dreadful situation of the children in the ghettos and how much children at such a young age had to experience such a horror. #shocked]]> 2019-04-18 19:26:55 UTC https://padlet.com/100195/anwnc84djd1t/wish/352657168 100195 https://padlet.com/100195/anwnc84djd1t/wish/352659383 I chose this excerpt because it represents the violence in a camp where the guards were not the main enemies, the prisoners were violent towards each other. This surprised me for two reasons, one was how the prisoners were violent to each other, and how the guards seemed to not care too much. #violence]]> 2019-04-18 19:36:24 UTC https://padlet.com/100195/anwnc84djd1t/wish/352659383 100195 https://padlet.com/100195/anwnc84djd1t/wish/354096392 Page 161. This excerpt was just a disappointing part of Alfons’ life, he thought his life was over and he lost everything. Alfons was revealed to be a hitler youth leader and he was almost certain he would be killed or arrested. This was powerful because it showed how everything Alfons bad was collapsing. #endoftheworld]]> 2019-04-25 13:28:05 UTC https://padlet.com/100195/anwnc84djd1t/wish/354096392 100195 https://padlet.com/100195/anwnc84djd1t/wish/354098506 Top of page 101.
This excerpt  somewhat surprised me because it shows just how uneasy people were about hiding Jews because of the risk of facing punishment for it. It shows how Jews were asked to leave households so quick because their hosts would be in such a horrible situation if they were caught hiding a Jew. #nervous]]> 2019-04-25 13:33:03 UTC https://padlet.com/100195/anwnc84djd1t/wish/354098506 100195 https://padlet.com/100195/anwnc84djd1t/wish/354102029 168-169. This quote surprised me because the military liberated the camp but still couldn’t provide the needs of the prisoners. They were not able to provide the food for the prisoners and the prisoners were still dying even after the liberation of the camp, which is not something that gets mentioned as much in other sources. #hunger]]> 2019-04-25 13:41:21 UTC https://padlet.com/100195/anwnc84djd1t/wish/354102029 100195 https://padlet.com/100195/anwnc84djd1t/wish/354111396 Page 67. This shows as the war spreads due to Pearl Harbor and gave Germany a new opponent. This put new restrictions into place for the Jews in Holland. This made life in Holland for Helen way worse. It surprised me just how strict some of the restrictions were. #strict]]> 2019-04-25 14:01:21 UTC https://padlet.com/100195/anwnc84djd1t/wish/354111396 100195 https://padlet.com/100195/anwnc84djd1t/wish/354188647 Page 124. This was impactful because it shows Helen recognizing somebody else from Amsterdam, who happened to be Anne Frank with her mother and sister. It was just to show that they had met and were taken around time same time. I may have found it to be impactful because I had visited the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam on vacation and it was just a connection that I made. #connection]]> 2019-04-25 16:47:04 UTC https://padlet.com/100195/anwnc84djd1t/wish/354188647 100195 https://padlet.com/100195/anwnc84djd1t/wish/354190787 Page 182. This section shows how Alfons was sentenced to death. It showed the terror that all of the other men also felt as they were about to die. Alfons also didn’t seem to understand what he had done to deserve death. This shocked me because I did not think they were actually going to sentence a minor to death. Later on though, we learn it was just a hoax. #psych]]> 2019-04-25 16:52:07 UTC https://padlet.com/100195/anwnc84djd1t/wish/354190787
