Chapter 8: Part 2
The tragedies of chapter eight remind me of the Holocaust. The Germans would burn the Jews hometowns, burning all their belongings. The Germans would also start riots burning down Jewish businesses. One night everything would be completely calm and in tact. The next night burning fires would be everywhere. Just like the bombing of Dresden, lives of the Jewish community were forever changed.

I too saw this connection with The Holocaust. I took an interest in the Holocaust after my 8th grade trip to Washington D.C. I remember reading about these staggered burings, and now that I really think about it, the bombing of Dresden is very alike.
