Nofiction Reading Blog


November 30, 2016

What I’ve read in my book “Witness to War” is introducing the conflict for people in the mid 1900’s. The book is giving a timeline to all the horrible events that take place. Nazi soldiers began to breed people in order to have system made give them stronger soldiers. They would brain wash the breaded children to be raised as men ready for war. The Nazi’s not only created a breeding system, but they took over the Jewish race. In the book the Jewish are the primary victims, they are punished because of their race and religion. The Nazi’s planned to take over Germany and then Europe. They would also take over the Jewish race in the process. Jewish people were either set to camps to be tortured and beaten, made a Nazi soldier, or get killed on the spot due to ignorance of Nazi soldiers. However, children were individually sent to camps. They were told not to speak of their kind at all, if so they were punished. When the war ended children were still out there alone. Some were sent into Europe or The United States and never saw their families again. The War ruined these children's lives, and the ones who manage to recover were known as survivors to war.

One thing that caught my attention in the book “Witnesses to War” by Michael Leapman was “ needed to breed prolifically to keep up their number...Other took this theory further and suggested that you could apply it to human beings by selective breeding. I found this interesting because I didn't know that this was used as war tactic for Nazi’s. I found it to be somewhat a intriguing but an uncomfortable tactic, I believed that the Nazi's would try only physical or deadly things. However, breeding children and having them grow to becoming a Nazi soldier is brilliant for their situation. If they lost soldiers, they couldn't care because they have an endless supply of people to recruit.

What I have learned from this book is the true cruelty and evil things that the Nazi army had done. I feel like I have better understanding of things back then during the Nazi war. I believe what I will remember the most is how children were treated by the Nazi army. They were put into camps and told not to speak of their religion and language. If so they were punished with no food and no medical help. I see that as probably the most intense thing that could happen to a child.


I commented on Vannessa'sBlog , Anthony's Blog , and Denise's Blog.

  2. Antwone I am shocked to see how the Nazi would breed people to have children to later brain wash them and make them into soldiers. I didn't know that the Nazis did. I learned something new today thanks to your blog post. A little tip for you is to underline your book title and author. As well as don't forget to add a quotation mark at the end of the quote/passag you found interesting. But other than that your blog post is very good.

    Keep up the good work, Denise O.

  3. Antwone it's very scary to read that Nazi soldiers would brain wash the poor chirldren for war. I absolutely think that's such a horrible thing to do.

    One thing I would suggest is to underline the book title and the author. Your blog is well detailed and informational.
