Empathy Map 2 – Elie aged 16, at the end of the war
We completed a second Empathy Map looking at what Elie was like at the end of the war. Elie was a Jew who was locked up in world war 2. He was in world war 2 locked up in Poland for 4 years before he was let out by them when the United States Of America was coming close to the camp site. He was with his dad when he died but the rest of his family left them because they were hiding in a bunker before they had to get onto the rain way trains where they took them to Auschwitz. It was sad when he had to leave his family behind to stay alive even though he knew all of his family was already dead. It was nice to know that he still believed in the god after the war that he was raised up to believe. We aren’t all the same but we can all be kind to one another. The most important thing about the book is that you have to be kind to people if they’re going through tough times.
