The boy’s lungs were burning, and his eyes streaming with tears. (pg.1) It then switches to a girl in England during the same war. After that the author switches to an Admiral, and Prime Minister Churchill. A girl with long chestnut hair leaned right out of the passenger window of a black car as it hurtled down Haverstock Hill towards the center of London.

At first I didn’t know what was happening, but I still wanted to keep reading. “The boy was running across his school’s cobbled courtyard as fast as he had across the bullet-riddled sands of Dunkirk a year ago.” (pg. 13) …show more content…

The Admiral talks with the Prime Minister about some plan that I want to know more about.“This matter is above and beyond top secret, for your eyes only.” (pg. 12) The Admiral wants the girl to help him with something very dangerous that I don’t know about that I want to figure out. The girl learns that the Admiral wants her and the boy to rescue a child. “Important but very dangerous. She’s just a girl, Admiral,” added her mother, sighing heavily. (pg. 36) The Admiral doesn’t give them details about the child. Leni wanted to know more about the child she was rescuing. “Who is this child?” she asked. McPherson pursed his lips and held up his hand. “I don’t know, Leni. I have not been told her identity.”

    The documentary Blind Spot: Hitler’s Secretary offers the unique perspective of someone who was not necessarily a victim or a perpetrator of the Nazi regime during World War II, but more so a first-person witness.

It is important to take notice to not just what Traudl is saying when she is narrating these tales, but also how she is describing them. This leads one to question how does the film portray Traudl Junge’s ability to think?

Hitler invaded Holland on May 10, 1940, a month before Anne?s eleventh birthday. In July 1942, Anne's family went into hiding in the Prinsengracht building. Anne and her family called it the 'Secret Annex'. Life there was not easy at all. They had to wake up at 6:45 every morning. Nobody could go outside, nor turn on lights at night. Anne mostly spent her time reading books, writing stories, and of course, making daily entries in her diary. She only kept her diary while hiding from the Nazis. This diary told the story of the excitement and horror in this young girl's life during the Holocaust.
