ENTRY Imagine that you are1 a journalist writing

ENTRY Imagine that you are#1 a journalist writing about life in Auschwitz. Write an article using the first story in Borowski’s book as your reference source.

ENTRY #2 You are still at the camp, and have decided to stay to get an overall view of how prisoners and their captors live. Today, you traveled to Harmenz and watched the events unfold. You interviewed prisoners, workers, a nice woman who lived on the farm, and the guards who controlled it all. What is your impression and response to what happened during A Day at Harmenz?

ENTRY #3 As a journalist, you continue to observe camp life. You watched them build the soccer field, you watched Tadek watch the people as they walked to and through the wood… How do you respond to this as an observer? Remember that you are NOT an active participator. You can interview the guards or prisoners, but you are not able to intervene. To guide your 3 rd entry: Has your opinion of Tadek evolved? Do you feel like he should react differently? Can he? How do you feel about them building the soccer field itself? About the prisoners planting flowers? How do you react to the guard killing the beautiful girl?

ENTRY #4 As a visiting journalist, you have witnessed the cruelty that the guards have shown to the prisoners. Even if you were a Nazi sympathizer before, you are no longer. You cannot further stand idly by. Based on the documentary Auschwitz and the Escape from Sorbibor, create a viable escape plan. -Use resources that would be available to the prisoners. If they are obtaining a needed item, you must explain how they got that item. -You are ONLY coming up with the plan, not an active participator. -Include what could go wrong: What are some obstacles? -You also must outline (briefly) two outcomes: What would happen if they were caught, what would happen if they weren’t caught. . . What would their life be like? Where would they go? This is supposed to be detailed, so please do not turn in a flimsy plan.
