Continuing with Deathly Hollows

Harry potter stayed at the barrow for a while and he then went somewhere else, I am not going to ruin it for you guys but he had to go. Any way they had to go to grimauld place because that was the only place they could stay. Luckily there wasn't any death eaters and they where able to stay. Kreacher told them something that got their quest for the Horcruxes going.

In the book they keep saying that Voldemort is capturing wand makers.it keeps showing up again and again. I don't know why he would do that. I know about the twin core thing but he already has Olivander. I don't get it, I hope they talk about it later on in the book. I wonder if he is looking for a wand. I wonder if he is trying to get rid of the core and switch it.

Its the end of Night and the beginning of Dawn

So my group has Finished reading this book called Night and I think it was really good. I thought that this book wouldn't really interest me like all the other Holocaust books. But by the middle I knew that I was wrong. This book gradually gets better. the book starts as them Living a happy life like a normal family. But in one or two years they are sent to a ghetto and this is when start to notice that something is going bad. After a while in the ghetto they where sent to a concentration camp and his family was separated. I don't want to ruin the book for you but let just say that _____________ die and he never sees them again. I think that in this part I would have given up I need my ___ and my _______.

The plot of this book is the struggle between him and the life he has to live because of the nazis. He is put in a ghetto for about a year or two years. He has to keep his hope up and don't let any body ruin it for him. Also, his dad is with him and he needs to stay strong for him and his dad needs to stay strong for his son.

Night

The book is and has been very good. In the beginning it wasn't so good I didn't really get it but aren't usually books like that. So some confusing parts where that the date is 1942 in the beginning of the books. The Character is still at home and free. But weren't Jews all ready getting killed in the concentration camps. But don't worry it doesn't stay all so happy. They are put into a Ghetto and then taken to a concentration camp which is Auschwitz. This so far has been very addicting and it is hard to stop once you start to read it.

The character Elie Wiesel is very thoughtful and kind. Their was this one part in the book that his dad gets punched in the face and he really wants to go tear the guy in pieces but he so shocked that he can't move. I know every kid would do this if their family that was close to them was hurt by another person. I know this part is more like my opinion but it my blog so yeah. Their isn't supporting evidence saying that he was so kind to other , but I just feel this nice vibe that comes out of his thoughts. If you really like reading and learning more about the Holocaust then this is a perfect book for you.

Up standers and bystanders during the Holocaust

Over the past few years of my life I have been learning about the holocaust and the reasons that people could be so cruel.I have always been so interested in the subject. I have read so many books about the Holocaust, I have seen movies, and i am lucky to go to the Holocaust museum ( thank you Ms. Belkov). The holocaust was a horrific sequence of destruction to different types of the human race. 11 million people where murdered! If it wasn't for the people who hid the jews and helped some escape then that number would be higher. Their was also the bystanders, the people who watched and didn't do anything. But, you have to think about it in a different way. What if you have family you wouldn't want to risk it would you? People where afraid of taking action. The people didn't want to end up like the Jews. I wouldn't be able to put myself in that place, all because of the fear of when am I going to get caught, Are they going to find me? Their so little that one person can do but, if 10,40, 100 people take action then that is a difference.
