Romek Post- Final

1. The part with Romek's death was definitely the most horrifying part of the book. When I read that part, I really understood the horror and the incredible intensity of the Holocaust. I was exposed to the cruelty and the disturbance of the Holocaust.

2. He gets a job feeding the guard dogs at the concentration camp. This job was really good for him because 1- he got to eat some of the food that he feed the dogs, and 2- it got him out of all the other extremely painful and grueling jobs that could kill him.

3. Bergen-Belsen is a terrible place because David had to carry the dead bodies to the furnace, and he has almost nothing to eat. Also, he got typhus, a bad disease, at Bergen-Belsen and he almost dies.

4. A good moment was when David's sister's husband met David at the hospital. He was happy to see him because it meant that he'd survived the war and was going to live, and that his life after was going to be better because Rachel and her husband would take care of him.

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 includes various stories and incidents that David Faber has personally witnessed and gone through. The book has horrifying stories that people need to know about. When David came to our school and spoke to us, he told us about a time he was talking to his mother's dead body- he said to her that if he survived, then he would tell the world what they had done to him, his sisters, his mother, his father, his brother, and all of his family. I believe that the world should know about the Holocaust. We need to learn about the past to help us NOT repeat it in the future. This is why David Faber's book, Because of Romek, should be required reading in all middle schools, high schools, and universities, to learn about the Holocaust.
