In my own life, the closest situation to theirs’ I’ve ever came close to having is camping. We packed enough food and rationed appropriately throughout the days we stayed, but besides that, I’ve never had a close encounter with survival. My survival is very different to theirs, seeing as I’ve never had a life or death situation before. The only similarities between the stories is everybody has the same necessities; food, water, clothing, and even family in general. While Krystyna and Anne faced their survival, they were lucky, for the most part, to have these. The Holocaust was a difficult time that put the lives of any Jewish person in jeopardy. Anne and Krystyna’s stories paint clear pictures of what this time was like; harsh, life or death situations. Survival is something humans are only capable of holding onto for so long. While Anne met an unfortunate end at the Bergen-Belsen camp, at the hands of Typhus fever, Krystyna’s story was just as heart-wrenching, but her tale gives us hope. In times of peril, you need to hold on to what you have, not on what you
