| Because of Romek |
1) The part in the book that I found most shocking and disturbing is when Romek gets tortured to death and David gets thrown into the street. It wasn't as shocking as it was when I read it in the book but it really was when David Faber explained it to us. It was really disturbing because it's shocking to imagine and it's very cruel. This part was really sad and I couldn't believe that it was true.
2) David gets a job of of feeding the dogs. It seemed scary at first to David, but then he got comfortable around the dogs. This job helped him because he ate some of the dogs' food and he got away from other harsh jobs that other prisoners had to do.
3) The conditions at the camp was harsh, and one of the worst that David had to go through. At this camp, David had to carry the dead bodies to the furnace. David develops typhus at this camp, which makes him really sick and he barely makes it.
4) A proud moment that David faced towards the end of the book was when Rachel's husband met him at the hospital. This was a great relief for David, and he still would have family. He would have someone that would take care of him and he survived through everything he has been through.
5)David Faber's book, Because of Romek, should be required reading in all middle schools, high schools, and universities because all students need to learn about the horrors of the Holocaust. This book explains how cruel the Nazis treated the Jewish. Students should be aware of how lucky they are to not face of what David Faber had been through. This important event in history should be studied about so that people can prevent history from repeating itself. |
