The Courage of Le Chambon
The story I got was 'The Courage of Le Chambon'. This short reading is about the people of Le Chambon and how they turned their community into a hiding place for jews from all over Europe. They didn't call themselves heroes because they believed that it was something they had to do. They knew having the Jews there was a big risk but they still did it and they all refused to let the Nazis go in. I was really amazed by how a group of people could be so courageous and say no to the Nazis. It makes me think that that always happens, there are always good and bad people and you decide who you want to be with and of course who you want to be like. The people from Le Chambon didn't have to help those Jews, but they still did it because they believed that we are all brothers and we must help each other in good and bad times.
Great job Maria!! Even though i have not read the story i completely understood it by the way u summed it all up. Though i think you should have given a bit of background to the place Le Chambon itself. Meaning, tell where it was(germany? Poland?) and maybe how they got the Jews there unless they were there from the beginning.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with your thoughts about the courage those people had, risking their own lives for the good of others. Overall AWESOMELY DONE XD!
