A few years ago my history teacher showed a video that was shot in a concentration camp shortly after the war in Europe ended. He had us write a paragraph about what we felt after watching the video. A year later my English teacher had us write a story. I used the paragraph that I wrote at the end of this story. So I hope you enjoy this story.
The Secrets of German Concentration Camps Reviled
“No, No I won’t go!” yelled twenty-year-old Maria. She was running from someone but she didn’t know who; all she knew was someone was chasing her. Then she woke up. That is how it went every night, but tonight she was awakened not by her mind, but by someone pounding on her door. Sighing she got out of bed, put on a robe and went to answer the door.
“Yes, can I help you?”
“We have reason to believe that you have been harboring Jews and taking more ration cards for you and your family than needed.”
“I’m sorry but I know nothing of this.”
“We need to search your home.”
“I told you that I know nothing of this.”
“LET US PASS!” yelled the head Gestapo agent.
The Gestapo agents pushed Maria out of the way and searched her parent’s house anyway.
The Gestapo walked through the house and destroyed everything of value, even Maria’s mother’s fine china that had been given to her mother on her wedding day. Once the Gestapo finished they took Maria and put her in a truck full of other people and started to drive away. As they drove away Maria looked at her house through tear-filled eyes and wondered if she will ever see her family again.

Ra was the sun god who protected the world from armies of the chaos serpent Apep. Ra was also the first pharaoh. Isis was the goddess of Magic, and Osiris' wife. To get Osiris on the throne she had a poisonous snake bite Ra's leg. Ra knew that Isis could heal him, so she made him give her his secret name. If a person had your secret name then they could control you. Since Isis knew Ra's secret name she convinced him to retire from being pharaoh leaving Osiris to take the throne.
