He did attend for a short while but later dropped out.
Between Night and The Hiding Place, comradeship, faith, strength, and people of visions are clearly proved to be essential in order to survive in these death camps.

The number of Jews in the stadium had reached a number of about 13,000 and about 4,000 of them were children. Any children between the age of 2 and 16 were arrested with their parents. The Jews that were arrested weren’t just from Paris; they were from many other places too. They came from Germany, Austria, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Russia. Many of them that were arrested had been alerted about it but they thought that the transportation would be men only. In the next week, the Jews were taken from the Winter Stadium and sent to different concentration camps in the northeastern region of Paris. The concentration camps that they were sent to were called Pithiviers and Beaune-la-Rolande. At the end of July, the Jews that were being kept in concentration camps were separated from their children and sent away. Before the Jews were sent away, their heads were shaved and they had a violent body search. Most of them that were sent away were sent to Auschwitz and murdered. In the end of August and during the month of September, more than 3,000

Miriam started writing her diary in October 1939, after Poland surrendered to the German forces (“Children’s Diaries”). The Wattenberg family fled to Warsaw in November 1940 (“Children’s Diaries”).

He gave her his coat and she told him the story with the Partisan unit. After walking or a block, Sava took her to this museum where there was a couple, Serif and Stela, and their baby son, Hebib, “Lola looked up and recognized her. It was the young wife who had given her coffee when she came to collect the laundry” (78). The couple had welcomed Lola into their home and gave her shelter. They gave her the Muslin name Leila, dressed her in Muslim clothes and told her that she was here as maid to help Stela with the baby. After weeks, Lola was getting used to living with Serif, Stela, and Habib and was less afraid of getting caught by German soldiers. One day Serif came back from library and had brought the Haggadah, a Jewish book, with him. Stela was worried about having the book in their house so serif returned it to the library of the mosque where it will probably not be found by the Nazis. Afterwards, they had traveled “outside the city, at a fine house with a high stone wall” (89), where Lola said goodbye to Stela and the baby and her and Serif walked into the dark.
Prisoners and Jews taken during the war were forcibly relocated to areas with “no prepared lodging or sanitary facilities and little food for them” (Tucker). Often said the people were simply being held prisoner, many of them died; some from the brutality of the German soldiers and others through methods for mass killing (Tucker). The labor camps in the novel are based off of this concept; people being taken to an area with poor treatment and then being killed. Towards the beginning of the novel, June believes students who fail the trial go to labor camps and are never seen again (Lu 8). Later in the novel, Day enlightens June about the labor camps by telling her “the only labor camps are the morgues in hospital basements” (Lu 205). In both the labor camps featured in Legend and World War II prison camps, the people are told they are being taken away when in reality they are killed. Furthermore, in the Nazi Germany prison camps the people were living in poor conditions up until their death, similar to the individuals in the novel who were experimented on for the benefit of the military. The portrayal of labor camps as similar to wartime prison camps points out the brutality of the government towards its citizens, as well as, the way leaders tell lies to cover their unethical

On June 12, 1929, at 7:30 AM, a baby girl was born in Frankfort, Germany. No one realized that this infant, who was Jewish, was destined to become one of the worlds most famous victims of World War II. Her name was Anne Frank. Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl, by Anne Frank and B.M. Mooyaart, was actually the real diary of Anne Frank. Anne was a girl who lived with her family during the time while the Nazis took power over Germany. Because they were Jewish, Otto, Edith, Margot, and Anne Frank immigrated to Holland in 1933. 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. Anne Frank: The Diary of a Young Girl reveals the life of a young innocent girl who is forced into hiding from the Nazis because of her religion, Judaism. This book is very informing and enlightening. It introduces a time period of discrimination, unfair judgment, and power-crazed individuals, and with this, it shows the effect on the defenseless.
