This is probably irrelavant but very valuable to know. I don't know if you have ever heard of the book Because of Romek but I have recently read apart of a chapter from that book and I was very sad to read that. Here is a brief summary of my opinion upon the chapter:
Based off what I’ve read in this selected chapter of Because of Romek, I was truly stroke by the life of people during World War II. A quote on page 115 paragraph 2 that stroke me states, “Now and then we found people dead. We carried them downstairs, too, and put them on a cart. We pushed the carts to the ghetto entrance and loaded the bodies onto trucks. That’s what happened to Mother and my sisters.” After reading that, I felt very sad and very grateful for all of the things I have. Just to go through the motions of dealing with dead bodies and having to put them in carts to load them a truck due to all of the torture being put upon the people is very depressing and then knowing that your family was apart of that process is even more depressing. If I was in his shoes, I wouldn’t know what to do and probably would have never survived all of the obstacles he had to overcome. Back then torture must have been a priority because most of the world was going through depression and being killed over one decision. I also found it interesting was the torture level and how constant it came to the people or known as the slaves. They suffered from the cold, hunger, thirst, being shoot at, depression of loosing a loved one and attacked by dogs. Romek I have to say was very strong for having to get over his family deaths and escaping death. When he was attacked by dogs stated on page 118 in paragraph 7 says, “The dog jerked its head from side to side, and I could feel the flesh tear.” Just by reading that quote you could feel his pain and to have to go through that and keep on going on with the day is very challenging. The main point that I am trying to convey is that the torture level back then was very barbaric and not necessary. Just by reading this chapter of someone’s life makes me love life even though we have to go through obstacles we have to be strong and make it to the top. When we say it’s too hard and I can’t do it lets think back when it was required to go through it even if it meant death.
Tell me your opinion on reading my feedback of the story.
