to
death?
After
such
thoughts
only
one
thing
helped
and
that
was
prayer.
I
would probably
have
despaired
otherwise"

Thaler's life
is
pure
torment
and
anguish.
Pain
and
fear
are
an
occurrence more regular than
food.
h
is
not
a
few
tests
that
define
his
struggle, but
thousands.
Daily events
weigh
down
on him more every
day.
Thaler
is
religious,
and
this gets
him
through
a
lot. Where others
would
have
faltered
Thaler
holds
to
his
faith.
The
plight
of
fran.
Thaler
is
stemmed
form
the
Holocaust. The
Holocaust (partly)
comes
from the World
Wars. The
World
Wars
have
a
few
different
causes.
One of
the
causes is
nationalism. Patriotism
is
one
thing, but
nationalism
is
too
far. Two other
-ism
causes
are
militarism
and
imperialism.
Many countries
were building
up
their
militaries
and
there were
large
advances
in
the technology
of weapons. The
European
empires
had
spread
thin
and
were conquering
many places. (Top
5
Causes
of
World War

Essentially,
the
cause
of
World War
It,
is
World
War
l.
World
War
ll
is
a
continuation
of
World War
l.
The
Treat of
Versailles also
contributed
to
World
War ll.
Under
the
haze
of extreme bloodshed Hitler
and
the
Nazi's
thrived.
When
attention
is
drawn
to
other
things
awful
things
can
be done,
and
almost
no
attention
is
paiid
to
it.
But another
cause is
Hitler
himself. Though
just
that
one
cause
it
not
enough
for the entirety
and magnitude of thäse horrors.
FranzThaler
got
caught
in
the rippling effects
of
the
Holocaust.
He
was
not
the
one of
the
people
the
Holocaust set
out
to
hurt.
lnstead
he became
entangled
in
the
waves
it
created.
He
was
put through
scores
of
ordeals
and
lived
to
tellthe
tale.
His
religion and beliefs
were
one of
the contributing
factors of
his
survival.
I
would
recommend
this
book
to
a
friend.
Even
though
it
made
me
sad
and
almost mad
me
cry,
it
is
the
kind
of
book
that
is
worth it.
