Compare And Contrast Aushwitzs
For my compare and and contrast essay I read two different stories/perspectives of Aushwitzs. The first book I read is titled Night by Ellie Wiesel, and the second book I read is called A Doctor's Eyewitness account: Aushwitz by Dr Milkos Nyiszli.

The two stories are very similar because they are both about the event that happened in the 1940s because of Hitler's hatred for the Jews. There is other concentration camps other than Aushwitzs, but this is the most popular one. Ellie Wiesel went through 3 other camps before being transferred to Aushwitzs. While the doctor was brought there to be the doctor there.

So now, some differences between the 2 people is Ellie was a 13 year old boy from Transylvania. He was separated from his mother and

    We choose the reading prompts, A Jewish Cemetery Near Leningrad written by Josef Brodsky, and Bitburg written by Elie Wiesel. Both writings are similar in many ways despite being written by different authors. One is a poem, the other a speech, but they both express the emotional rollercoasters the Jews went through during the Holocaust. Not only are they both similar, but they’re also similar to the book, Night, written by Elie Wiesel.…

    It is difficult to talk about the Holocaust in Poland without speaking of this camp in some further detail. Many people refer to all Nazi camps as concentration camps, but in reality, there were several types of camps, such as: concentration camps, extermination camps, labor camps, prisoner of war camps etc. Auschwitz is actually a series of three separate camps, the first built as a detention center for political prisoners. The camp “evolved into a network of camps where Jewish people and other perceived enemies of the Nazi state were exterminated, often in gas chambers, or used as slave labor.” Upon arriving at the camp, the prisoners were examined by Nazi doctors. If a person was judged to be unfit for work, including children, elderly and the sick, they were taken directly to the showers and told they needed to be disinfected from lice, but in reality they were sent to be killed in the gas…

    In both books, there is a father and son relationship. In Albom’s book the relationship is with Morrie and his father, and in Wiesel’s book the relationship is between Elie and his father. The two stories each have the main theme of dying. Morrie is slowly dying of ALS, just like Chlomo is slowly dying of sickness and hunger. Night time is also a main part of these two stories. At night, Morrie lays in his bed and thinks of all of the negatives. At night in the other novel, the bad things happen and the Jews are forced to run. There are also many differences in the books. Morrie keeps his faith throughout his death, but Chlomo and Elie are both losing their faith. Morrie is not so much religious like Elie and his family. Morrie is more about life lessons rather than religious factors. Morrie believes people are all humane, and the other book displays inhumanity. Many factors make these books similar and different.…
