I would really like to focus on how both Elie and Elisha both strived to do everything they could to survive under conditions they had to go through. Not only did Elie’s family die, like I said in my last post, he also had to undergo and learn a lot of techniques to knowing how to survive the concentration camps. He had to understand what the Nazis wanted and didn’t want the Jews to do for them. Regulations such as the age-range check was one of the first steps they had to go through before actually working. I thought Elie and his dad were quite wise about changing their ages to make sure they were not out of age-range for working conditions. Not only did he have to avoid being killed, he also had to be careful of ever getting in trouble because that would always lead to beatings or even murder as well. Elie’s dad accidentally made that mistake by wanting to go to the bathroom, and I just felt so terrible for both him and Elie. Elisha, on the other hand, had to go through a series of murder trials and executions of people, and that was his only way of surviving the Palestine territory under the English rule. She needed freedom in her home country, and wanted it just as much as the rest of her group.
Both Elie and Elisha had to overcome a lot in their obstacles in life, and although both stories are quite depressing, I am glad they both accomplished what they needed to do in their lives.
