For English class we had to read a journal detailing the suffering of Polish Jews in the Warsaw ghetto during the Nazi occupation of Poland. The fact that the piece was written by someone who experienced, and eventually died to the event, makes it a very engaging read. I felt an extra level of connection to the paper, coming from a Polish background. I could understand many of the Polish phrases included through out the piece.
Reading this piece reminded me greatly of the way my grandparents would describe the status of life during World War 2. My family is not Jewish, so there are some variations, but there is also some similarity; such as the frequent death occurring to innocent people. It sickens me to think that events such as this even occurred.
