Online Sources 4 and 5

Summary: The first text is about Jan Karski who was a Polish Catholic that fought for Jews. He tried to raise awareness to the people of what the Nazis were doing. Karski worked with Allies and went to the ghetto to experience what was really going on and to witness it in person. Karski put his physical and mental self in danger by doing this. He was taught to treat others equally and he did that. The second text was about rescuers and what their life is like and what it takes to be a rescuer. Many different points were made of what a rescuers life was like and what they were like as humans.


Commentary:I enjoyed both of these texts. The first one focused more on the survivors and their stories while the other focused on the rescuers and what they are like as human beings. The first one talked about killing Jews but the author contradicted that by saying not everyone kills or dislikes Jews. It looked at the bright side of it and I enjoyed it. The second text was longer than the first one and more difficult for me. It used many complex words and had long sentences which made it harder to understand what was going on. I understood most of it but some parts were a bit unclear. It was very interesting to read what a rescuer is and what they're mindset is.
