Assignment #2 ;Cattle Car Complex


Adam Posner was a Jewish lawyer that got stuck in an elevator. As Posner was sat in the elevator, he remembered the Holocaust. The man was remembering about how the Jewish were put in Cattle Cars (80 in each), and how they were suffering of thirst and suffocation; he was claustrophobic. Adam was afraid of the dark as well; the officer asked him to stay there longer, but Posner refused and cursed at him. At the end the Jewish man was saved, still living the horrible memorys of the Holocaust.
this to show how Jewish people today are still affected and tramatized by the Holocaust even if they know it happened a long time ago.

Assignment 1; Night

The holocaust was one of the worst if not the worst slaughterings of world history in my opinion. This massacre was led by Adolf Hitler, a very smart man who used his head for all the wrong reasons.

He used his brains to gather anglosaxon men to help him kill every Jewish person for his dislike of them.

There are many theories on why he decided to start killing Jew's. One was because his mom died at the hands of a Jewish doctor. Others were on his opinion that Jews were 2 powerful and there were to many. that Jewish kill Jesus
