AliciaMy Story
1. Give a short summary of your book. (characters , conflict, complications, climaxes, resolutions)The story was mainly about Alicia Jurman's life during and after the Holocaust. In her life she had witnessed more trauma that we can't even imagine, such as her mother getting killed right in front of her. That's not all, her whole family was killed during the holocaust. Her family cruelly wrenched from her, Alicia rescued other Jews from the Gestapo, led them to safe hide outs. She was only 13 when she began saving the lives of people she did not know. After the war Alicia continued to risk her life, leading Polish Jews on an under ground route to freedom in Palestine. I enjoyed this story a lot, but did not enjoy reading about the part where she tells about her mother getting killed, which kind of made me cry a little. After all that she had settled down and is mother of three grown children, living in California with her husband, and a writer and lecturer. Alicia Jurman had been 35 around the time she wrote this book. Before she had wrote this book she had gone around grade schools, high schools, colleges, synagogues, and churches letting people know what had actually had hap
Then the next thing she new, her mother was dead on the ground and Alicia new her mother had taken the bullet that was meant for her. They also try and stop her from helping other Polish Jews escape to freedom in Palestine. The climax was exciting because the way her life was going I did not know what going to happen next. They had also been the main reason why she had so much grief and trauma. So basically she had become what she is today when she was a child. She also helped point out the horrifying things that went on during the times of the Holocaust. Alicia Jurman- She was the developing character because as the story went along she had developed into a stronger willed person and also developed into the main character. The Germans-The Germans can be considered the antagonist because they are the ones who had killed her family and her. " this again shows you how strong willed she is. What happened was they were in a man's house, who had let them in, and then two large SS soldiers had stormed in. They were the antagonists because, like the Germans, they were another group that had try and stop Alicia and the Jews from leaving the country they had occupied and going to Palestine. She wound up surviving and freeing thousands of Jews.
