History
Report
-
Thaler
and
Dachau
For my
book
report
I read the
book Unforgotten by
Franz Thaler. This
book
is
based
in the
time
of
World
War
2.
It's about
an
Italian
man
who
is
drafted
by
the
Nazis and
runs
away to
the mountains.
Later his
family
is
threatened under
death.
He
turns
himself in
and
is
sent
to
Dachau, an
infamous concentration
camp.
My
book
report
is,
no
matter how
many
times
one gets
negative impacts,
there
will
always be
positive.
People
can be
very
cruel,
but
it
is
hard to survive it.
It
is
a
very fascinating book
and
it
shows
how
scary
the
world
can be
and
also
how
strong the human
spirit
can
be.
Thaler
went
through very
difficult
times,
hunger,
fear,
pain
and
most
of all,
mental
pain.
An
example
of
this
is
when
he
suffered
from frostbite
and
extreme
back
pain.
If
he
were
sick, he
would
be
thrown
out.
He
would
see
some
of his closest
friends
die
right
in
front
of
him.
He
was always
hungry
because
there
was
very
little
food
and
everything
was
jam-packed
with
salt
so
he
was
also
very
thirsty.
FranzThaler,
as
we
can
see,
is
a
very brave
man.
He
suffered
though
countless
ways
of
torture
[pain, hunger, and
etc....).
Against
the
odds, he
made
it
with
no
physical
scars,
but
with
mental wounds
still
un-bandaged,
Before
World
War
II, Germany was
in
its
depression from
World
War
I.
The
people of Germany are feeling deperate and need
something to
guide them.
Adolf
Hitler
offers them
revenge
on
those
who destroyed
their
economy in
World War
I.
He also
blamed
anyone
who
wasn'tAryan. Hitler
comes
up
with
"The Final
Solution,"
which
is
killing
all the
fews
and
other unwanted
groups. Franz
Thaler
was
Italian,
a
victim
of
the
Final
Solution
because he
was
in
Dachau.
This
story
is Franz
Thaler's
reflection
of
one of
the
worst
times
of
his
life, being
taken to
Dachau.
The
world
really
can be
cruel
as
we
can
see.
There
will
always
be
bad.
It
can
be
in different
forms.
It
can
look
good at
first
but
turn
for
the
worst.
For example,
a
