Holocaust Cemetaries




Compare and contrast the way the Jewish cemetery in Poland looks to the one in Philadelphia. How do the Polish people show their disdain to the Jewish in this video. What is the author's purpose in creating this video? How does this correlate with the play, Anne Frank?

The jewish cemetery in poland looks a lot more crowded with tombstones then the cemetery in philadelphia. 3 million jews were killed in poland and their handstones were use to pave the streets of krakow. I think that the author's created this video to let people know that what happened to jews in that time was very tragic. It coorelates with the play because the play takes place during the Holocaust, and Anne Frank was jewish.

To know about polish people, im polish, but just a little. i think the purpose was t oshow how much the holocost ment to a lot of people and how many people died and tried to fight for their freedom. there a lot of people in poland and most of my dads side came from poland. This correlates to the play of anne frank from how poeple were hiding just like anne when her family and some others were hiding in this little space.

The Jewish cemetry in Poland was a lot bigger and people were buried on top of each other. Over three million jews were killed in Poland. Their headstones were used to pave streets. I think the author made this video to explain how terrible this was. And also tell that this just didnt happen in Germany and their but also in Poland. Hitler was planning to take control of the whole world.

The Jewish's gravestones are crooked and out of place. The other headstones are neat standing upright and nice. There are alot of bodies in both of these cemetaries but not all the bodies in The Jewish cemetary have headstones. The statue that bows it's head down shows the Polish's disdain. The purose of the video is to show how sad the graves are for the Jews. this is a sad video but it's good to show what the graves are like. I think that the video was very interesting and sad.
The video was very good and it taught me alot.

The Jewish cemetery in Poland was very crowded and the tombstones were poorly placed and positioned into anywhere they could fit. The cemetery in Philidelphia had tombstones that were placed neatly in rows and also had the names engraved onto them. The Polish people made statues to show their guilt for not intervening; however, they also created statues to commemorate people that did glorious things during this time. The author made this video to reflect how the Jews were poorly treated. Even after their death, the Jews were still shown hatred through the desecration of their tombstones and the turning of them into pavement for the streets. This correlates with the play of Anne Frank, because she always believed that there was good in all people, but they did not know to express it.

The polish cemetary looks much more crowded than the one in philedelphia. It disdains by showing all of the people who were killed. The author most liekly made this video to show that life is important! Don't segregate! It correlates by being in Poland and in WW2.

Unknown said...

The cemetary in Poland has much more tombstones and people in it. The one in Philadelphia has alot, but not very much. Many Jews were killed, over 3 million. The authors purpose for this video, is to show that the Holocaust was a real event, and we can never forget it. It correlates with the play because it shows the camps, and what Anne must have seen when they were captured.

The Jewish cemetary was very big and people were buried on top of each other this was very horrific. 3 million jews died in Poland and Germany.Their headstones were used to pave roads and walkways. The author made this to show us how suffering this was back then and how it is today. Hitler was planning take over the world!

Zach Phillips said...

The cementery in Poland was crowded by the 12,000 tombstones that were there to only support 100,000 dead. They showed there support and their sorrow even though they didn't have many tombstones to put on to every person. I think the authors purpose in making this video was to show you how many people died and what people in Poland are doing to show the support to ones who died. It correlates to the play because they were both of people who died and who were Jewish. Also, it takes place during the holocaust and what had happened to the Jewish people. I think everyone should show their support for the people trying to show the people who died and how many.

Unknown said...

The jewish cemetarys in Poland had more bodies and gravestone than the one in Philadelphia. A lot of jews were killed and in Poland, their headstones were flipped upside down and used to pave the streets and roads. I think the author made this video to show how many innocent jews were killed and in different places. This video coresponds with the play because this was during World War II and it invloves the holacusts as well as concentration camps and death camps which is were all of this jews must be dying at. What I mean is that Anne Frank was apart of all of this also.

Unknown said...

The polish cemitaries are a lot less crowded because they took the tomb stones out of disrespect and made a street out of them to show the hatred of the jews. They drive they're tanks over the street they made with the stones and spit on the street. To show how one man can take over one country and control all the others. The play was the same time this was happening.

The cemetery in Poland looks a lot more packed with graves than the one in Philadelphia. In Poland was most of the Jewish killing camps, thus involving more murders and causing them to have to put more headstones. The Polish people had showed a massive amount of disdain by using their headstones to pave the streets they have today. The purpose in this video is to show how much hatred was towards the Jews and how much is still there today even though the war is over. This video correlates with the play Anne Frank because Poland was allies with the Nazis and helped them kill Jews. Because of this, Anne Frank and the others went into hiding.

The cemetary in Philadelphia was much less crowded with tombstones than the one in Poland. The cemetary in Poland also looked much older than the one in Philadelphia. The Polish showed their disdain for the Jewish by paving the streets with their headstones. The authors purpose in making this video was to show how mindless and cruel the things people do can be when it is fueled by hatred. It correlates with the Anne Frank play because it shows how tragic and sad the Holocaust was for the Jews

Levi said...

The one in Poland and the one in Philidelphia both show where Jewish bodies were buried, but the Polish cemetery was tron apart by the Germans before/during WWII, but the one in Philidelphiahas been untouched since it was built and dedicated. They show it by acknowledging the fact that they purposefully and willingly disgraced the graves of Jews. The purpose was to show that more than just death occured during WWII, but also other cruel and needless deeds. One of these places is where she might of been buried after she was killed.

Unknown said...

The cemetery in Poland looks more crowded than the one in Philadelphia. People were lying on top of each other in the graves. Most of the headstones were used as streets in Germany and other countries for roads that the tanks could be on. I think that the author’s purpose of the video is to educate people what the horrors of the holocaust brought upon people in the world. This goes with the play because it shows what happened to the other Jews that were killed in the Nazi genocide.

The Jewish cemetery was very big and people were buried on top of each other. 3 million Jews died in Poland and Germany. The author most likely made this video to show that life is important. Their headstones were used to pave roads and pathways.

The Jewish cemetery in Poland was very crowded compared to the one in Philadelphia! The cemetery in Philadelphia was more of a one you'd see today that is in rows and neatly organized. I think the author made this video to show how the Jews were badly the Jews were treated compared to everyone else, because even when the bodies were placed they didn't care how it look or anything! This video correlates with the story of Anne Frank because they are Jews as well, and they both take place during the Holocaust!

The cemetary in Poland is more crowded with headstones thatn the one in Philadelphia. The Polish people showed disdain to the Jews by using their headstones to pave their streets. They showed that they did not care about them or about what was happening to them. I think the author created this video to show how some people actually honor the people that were brutally murdered and how some people did not care at all. this correlates with the play of Anne Frank because it shows all of the hatred that people had for Jews because of the things that Hitler said. The Polish also hated the Jews because of all the things that they had heard.

Sarah Wilmoth said...

The cemetery in poland was much more crowded than the one in Philidelphia. The Polish poeple show their disdain for the Hewish in this video by metioning that they paved the road with Jewish tombstones. The author's purpose for creating this video was letting people know how many people died in the Holocaust. This video correlates with the play, Anne Frank, because they both tell about the Holocaust and how badly the Jewish people were treated during that time period.

Even though the Poland and Philadelphia Holocaust Memorials both represent the same horrifying history, they are different in numerous ways. In my opinion, hopefully I’m not the only one who feels the same way, the Poland cemetery showed absolutely no respect at all. For example, the tombstones looked as if they were thrown in place, leaves were everywhere, and overall the place looked dreary and uncared for. The tombstones there were crowded, and crooked, and shows just how the Nazis were; heartless. This example right here also shows their disdain. However, the Philadelphia Memorial wasn’t as careless at the Poland one. Thankfully, the tombstones were nice, organized, and in rows. The sculptures that were made there actually told of the terrible history of the Holocaust, and gave justice to the children and Jews who had to live through this treacherous time. Yet, nothing can make up for this terrifying time in history.
This video was very moving and eye- opening. As a result, I believe that was the reason the author made this video. To, make you realize that this actually happened and wasn’t only a dream. This tragedy was horrendous and this video shows just how much the Nazis cared when they died. It is really eye- opening to see how heartless people can be. Yet, the Philadelphia Memorial didn’t show that at all and actually correlates with the Anne Frank play. The cleanliness, the organization, and the sculptures in the Philadelphia Memorial showed that through that through everything, people are still good at heart.

The Jewish cemetary in Poland was very dishelved and choatic. The tombstones were scattered carelessly around the land. The ones in Philadelphia are methodical and orderly. The Poles show that they do not really have any respected towards the Jewish. At least they had enough courtesy to bury them and place them into tombstones. Now that I think about it, they probably just did that so they wouldn't have to place them in the soil of their country. Philadelphians took the time to place them in a way that would show their respects towards the deceased. Those people also engraved their names, so that was something that made it a little more memorial. Also, they took the time to identify each person. I feel that the author wanted to express to viewers something that he/she/it noticed. I would have never noticed the coincidence of how the Poles buried the people. I also think that the author wanted to inform people about things that happened before/during/after WWII. All of the things that are in the video, are about the Holocaust and are caused because of hatred. The Anne Frank play, is all about the Holocaust too.

The jewish cenetary in Poland was ver disorganized and they weren't very neatly placed The one Philadelphia was very neat and and they were placed nicely. The Polish were very disrespectful towards the Jews. They felt burying was enough and why should they be any nicer and place they're graves nicely. The Philadelphians repected the Jews and they did a very good job with places their graves. The author wanted show how each place thought of the death of the Jews and show the differnce to see if they care. The Anne Frank story was also about the Holocaust and hiding from Hitler.

Alyssa Martin said...

The Jewish cemetary in Poland seemed to be much more crowded with tombstones, than the cemetary in Philadelphia. The Polish people show there disdain in the video by using the stones to make the streets. The authors purpose in creating this video, would most likely be to inform us of the devastating past that mankind has overcome.

Anonymous said...

the jewish cemetary is more like a mass grave with a bunch of headstones stuck randomly into it. The one in philidelphia is neat and nice looking. It is obvious that there was more respect involved in the philidelhpia cemetary. The other one has had the headstones ripped off to use as roads. The authors purpose was to show just how badly the jews were treated. The polish people proved their disdain towards the jews by paving the streets with their headstones. I'll bet that Anne Frank was buried in a very similar cemetary to the scattered one with no names. She might be buried in that very same one.

Unknown said...

The cemeteries in Poland are so much worse than the ones in Philadelphia. In fact, they don’t even have enough tombstones for all of dead. In Philadelphia, the tombstones are much more spaced out than Poland, but the tombstones in Poland are literally jumbled together so that they almost over lap.
The way the Polish people show their distain toward Jews was by using the tombstones to pave the road. I believe that the author created this video to show the importance of the Holocaust. It shows what a negative impact it had on people, especially Jews, and the reason why we must prevent this form of genocide from occurring again. I also believe that this play correlates to the Story of Anne Frank by showing the hatred toward Jews. I believe that we need to prevent this form of genocide from occurring again so that we will never go through the same pain again.

Charli_Crandall♥ said...

In my opinion, the Poland cemeteries are a lot worse than the cemeteries in Philadelphia. I believe that the disain is towards not having enough headstones for the people. However, I think the author's purpose for this video is to help us learn and to be informed of what happened during World War II.

I believe correlate with "the Diary of Anne Frank," because it had a lot to do with the Holocaust. In summary, the genocide was a horrible event, and it took the lives of many Jewish people in Germany!

The Poland cemeteries are alot worse then in Philadelphia. There are so many murdered that there are not enough headstones for all of them. I belive that the author of this video created it because everyone should know about the deaths of the holocast and how upsetting it was. It shows the impact tha the holocast had on everybodys life..

Unknown said...

the poland cemeteries were alot worst than the one in philly there were so many jews killed and it think that this was made to open the eyes of some people and show them that not people fro germany was killed but peole from other places to

The Jewish cemetary In Poland is really crowed and there are more bodies than tombstones. It was messed up to use peoples tombstones to make roads. The authors purpose is to inform about the holocaust and show some of the stuff they done back then.

The Jewish cemetary in Poland was over crowded and was alot worse than the one in Philadelphia.The authors purpose is to show some of the things that had happened in the holocaust and to inform them.

The jewish cemetary in Poland was more crowded than the one in Philadelphia. Three million jews died and their headstones were used to make the streets of Krakow. I think the author created this video to let people know what happened to the jews was mean. It corretates with the play, because it takes place during the Holocaust and that Anne Frank and her family was jewish.

The jewish cemetery in polandd looked very crowded. There tombstones were paved in to a ground to make a road which I like is very disrespectful, But i firgured out that is what they were trying to do. The one in Philadelipha was very neat and respectful, they gave honor to the people who worked hard. This video was most likely to show and tell you haow tragic this point in time was, which made me think why would people do this just because they are a different kind. They hurt little child and adults. Nobody should have to go out and work like this just to be killed. I know this is so horride and what makes this worse is that its still going on. This is comparing to Anne Frank because she was also jewish, but she went into hiding so she wouldnt go to the camp, even though she got caught she stayed with her family and she lived to teel about her tragic life changing story.

The cemetary in Philidelphia is definitely a lot nicer than the one in Poland. It’s also a lot less crowded. In Poland many of the headstones were taken an used as paving stones for the streets. The author’s purpose is to inform us about how little the Jews meant to some people while others cared a lot. In Anne Frank, Anne and her family is found in hiding and taken to a camp just like thousands upon thousands of other Jews were. Many, including Anne, died and were burried in unmarked mass graves. It’s simply horrible that we will never know what these poor murdered people could have done with their lives and how their lives could have influenced the world.

Unknown said...

You can see that in Philidelphia the grave stones are evenly spaced, the grass is cut,the stones are newer, there are pathways. In the other cemitary in poland, the germans just mutalated it. I honestly thought it was just a pile of rocks at the begining of the video. I just was appauled when it was told that jewish headstones where used to pave the roads. These people will as a whole never be forrgotten, but the individual people as sad as it is will probaly never be recognized for their suffering.

The tombstones in Philidelphia are neat and proper. The one in Poland is very distraught, disrespectful and small. The bodies outnumber the tombstones by the thousands, and it is very horrible. The fact hat the Jewish headstones were used to pave the roads is unhumane, and I believe that one day whoever made that decision will pay.

Jakob Lemuel Abbott. said...

The way the cemetary in Philadelphia looks compared to the one in Poland is it looks like it has been taken care of. The one in Poland looks like someone took the tombstones and just threw them anywhere. They showed it by disrespecting them while they were at peace. They really didn't care about them. They used their stones to help pave the road. The other's purpose of this video is to show how bad the jewish people were mistreated. The way they did it is horrifying to me. The way it correlates with Anne Frank is after the war, the jewish people were given honor. Just as Anne Frank did.

Ryan_V said...

The Jewish cemetery in Poland is very different from the one in Philadelphia.For, example, all of the tombstones in Poland were all stacked up on one another, and in Philadelphia they were spread out and very clean and taken care. The Polish people showed there distain towards the Jewish by paving the roads with their tombstones.I think the author's purpose of this video was to show all the peopl who actually care about the many victims of the Halocaust. This video correlates with Anne Frank because Anne Frank and her family were hiding to stay away from dying and being put under one of those tombstones. However they were eventually found and killed.

The Jewish cemetery in Poland is much more crowded than in Philadelphia. The Polish we're terrible in the fact that they removed the headstones of the killed Jews and used them to pave the streets they drive over. That's an extremely sick thing to do. It's even too much that the Jewish were murdered for no reason, but to take away their dignity when they can't defend themselves is infinitely low. The author's purpose of this video is to try to give some justice back to the killed Jews. This video correlates with the play of Anne Frank in the fact that the subject is the Holocaust and it shows the things that we can't afford forget, no matter how much we want to believe these horrible things never happened.

The Jewish cemetery in Poland was crowded with more gravestones than the one in Philadelphia. The tombstones in Poland are so close they are all leaning sideways. The Polish people show their disdain towards the Jews by using the tombstones to pave their road. The Polish obviously can’t stand the Jews, but I personally think that using Jewish tombstones to pave roads is way too far to disgrace the religion. The author’s purpose in creating this video is too inform us about the evil in the world. This correlates with Anne Frank because they are both about Jews and what happened during and after the Holocaust.

The cemetaries in Poland were cluttered, worn, and run down. The ones in Philadelphia were kept up, taken care of, and nice. The Polish show their respects by buliding memorials, decorating the sights, and show grattitude. The author's purpose is to show how the Jewish people were respected after their deaths and how much guilt people feel because that this happened. This relates to Anne Frank by showing all the people that lived on after the deaths. Just like Anne Frank lived on by her diary.

Austin J(: said...

The cemetery for the Jewish people of Poland are far more crowded then the ones in Philadelphia. The horrific part about their headstones, is that they were paved over. That is one of the most crucial things anyone could could do. A headstone is used to show honor and respect, so they tore it down. I feel the authors purpose to this video was to fufil the lives lost from this reign of terror. I think he wanted to show those graves respect, and show how they were demolished. It correlates with the play with the same exact time period. They both took place during the Holocaust.

Ashley :D said...

The Jewish cemetary in Poland was completely destroyed and disrespected; the Jewish cemetary in Philadelphia was orderly and respected. The Polish people showed their disdain for the Jews by using their tombstones to pave the roads. The author's purpose of this video is to inform people on what the Polish did to the Jewish people. Anne Frank, the play, correlates to this story. Both show hatred towards Jews and are about the Holocaust.

Hunter said...

I think that the Jewish Cemetarys in Philadelphia were much more respected and orderly. The Jewish Cemetary in Poland were disrespected and smashed. The Polish people used the tombstone on the road to show how much they hated all the Jews. And the purpose was to show all the people of the world how much they were disrespected and hated. Anne Frank shows about the same moral of the video. It shows how Jews were hated in the Holocaust.

bryce thibodeaux said...

The Jewish Cemetery in Poland was a lot bigger then the one in Philadelphia. The disdains by showing all of the people who were killed. To show what it was like during that time. It correlates to Anne Frank Because she was a Jew back during the war.

G said...

The Jewish cemetery is a lot more crowded and messy. They had to use the stones to help pave the streets so they would have nice roads. There are a lot more tombstones in the Jewish cemetery because over three million people died. It is disdain because it shows all the people that were killed. I think the author’s purpose in creating this video is to show all the people who watch it, how many people died and how so many lives changed back then. This correlates with the play, Anne Frank because it takes places during the holocaust and Anne Frank is Jewish.

tanner22 said...

The Jewish cemetaries in Poland and Philadelphia are alike because they both are filled with inasent Jews that were killed by the nazis. They showed respect by dedicating a graveyard to all of the Jews whose lives were taken during WW2 and the Holocaust. The authors purpose in creating this video was to give respect to the inasent Jews. This is similar to the play, Anne Frank, becuase Anne was a JEw who ended up dying so this video is dedicated to her in a way.

braden wilfong said...

The jewish cemetaries in Poland and Philidelphia are alike because theyy both hold Jews. They showed respect by commemorating the graveyard to all the Jews. The authors purpose of this video was to show how the Jews are respected. This relates to the play because it takes place in the Holocaust.

Unknown said...

The Jewish cemetaries in Poland are very disrespectful, crued, and cluttered compared to the open, well-spaced ones in Philadelphia. The giant statue shows the Polish's disdain in the video. I think the author's purpose in creating this video is to inform you of what was going on in Northern Europe during WII. Also, I think the author wanted people to know how wrong this sort of action was. This correlates with the Diary of Anne Frank because she was Jewish and although she was not burried in either of the graves in the video, she was burried in a mass grave,which reminds me of the one in Poland.

Alexis von Schmidt said...

The Jewish cemetaries in both Poland and Philidelphia are alike because they both held Jews in them. The one in Poland looked more rundown while the one in Philidelphia was the complete opposite. The Polish people didn't show much respect to the Jews. In this case, they didn't care for them. I think the purpose to this video was to show that these caps can be found anywhere. They may look nice from the outside but they aren't all good. This correlates to the play of Anne Frank because they both show how things can come as a surprise. You never knew what would happen during the Holocaust.
