The tragedy known as the Holocaust was the systematic murder of 6 million Jews (Strahinich 7). However, not only Jews were ruthlessly murdered by the Nationalist Socialist German Workers’ Party, or the Nazi Party. Approximately 5 million gypsies, handicapped people, Soviets, homosexuals, Slavs, and anyone deemed sub-human by the Nazi regime also perished in the Holocaust (Strahinich 8). The Holocaust took place mainly in Germany and its annexed countries like Poland, but it was present in…

Grese continued on her rampage of torture and death. Dora Szafran testified at the Belsen trail that, “Grese had beaten a girl very severely.” She and the other camp supervisors maintained their daily selections, beatings, and humiliation. She attempted to maintain control in a situation that quickly spiraled out of her control and lead to the complete destruction of the Nazi regime. She extended her reign of terror on to Bergen-Belsen. One victim named Helene Klein stated, “Grese beat them…

It was the darkest of days. Stephen King would have nightmares about something like this. There was no biblical term to describe how devastatingly catastrophic this was. Armageddon would be a paper cut compared to this. It’s something no little boy should ever have to go through. It was the day my mother said those dreadful words: “You’re gonna have a little sister.” I could almost hear the music from Psycho playing. I thought it was a joke; it must have been. My mom had enough on her plate with…
Mejia 1 Emily Mejia Professor Hoelle English 101 December 15, 2017 Mack: Warm Hearted Con-Artist Cannery Row is a novel by John Steinbeck that is filled with people who don’t really fit the norms; just about everyone that lives in Cannery Row has an odd back story. One character that really stood out was Mack. Mack is the leader of a group of bums that coined the group name “Mack and the Boys”. I believe that Mack is the leader of this group because he is the most cunning and sharp. Many…
Claude Lanzmann’s Shoah (1985) was a gut-wrenching, heartfelt film that documents the experiences of the Holocaust. The whole film relies exclusively on interviews, and narratives by victims, Nazi perpetrators and bystanders with no regard to the archival footage that was previously shown in Night and Fog (1955). This new take on the Holocaust is in itself unique and unconventional due to the fact it was not shot in the traditional documentary approach that is always used for this kind of issues…

Now I have to go on my first ever adventure without the assistant of Dora the explorer. Instantly, we get emergency tickets and start to board a weird type of spaceship called an airplane. I remember I forgot to pack something, it was my teddy bear, I left it at home and now it…
It's an unseasonably warm Friday afternoon for October and I am making my way to Manhattan's Lower East Side to chat with artist M. Tony Peralta. His newest exhibition, Rolos & Icons had opened the night prior to a packed house of family, friends, and supporters. This was the first time he had ever held an opening downtown, and the incredible turnout was a feat in itself. I had been following the works of the Dominican-American artist by way of Washington Heights for a few years now as we have…
