The Story of Naomi Posinova

The Story of Naomi Posinova

Naomi Posinova was an innocent child who thought of the world as good until her whole entire life turned upside down… This is the story of Naomi.

    Naomi Posinova. The only thing people didn’t like about her was that she was Jewish. The text states in the article, “Children of the Holocaust”, “Naomi and her family were deported to the Theresienstadt ghetto in Czechoslovakia.” The text also states, “After she went there she managed to keep learning just like she was before she left.” Again the text states, “In late 1944 or early 1945, Naomi and her parents were “selected” for transport to Auschwitz. Soon after their arrival, Naomi and her mother were murdered in the gas chambers. Naomi was only 12.”

    Naomi and Anne Frank had so many similarities here are some of them. They both were the youngest (even though Naomi was the only child). They both went through hard times and hid their feelings when they were both so young. Anne states in the novel, A Diary of a Young Girl, “I want to bring out all kinds of things that lie buried deep in my heart”. They both seemed so quiet but energized at the same time as they felt sad, (But that is only what i think). They both were put in a concentration camp. One sad thing they had in common is they both died right before the Holocaust was over.

     Naomi and I have so many differences. Naomi lived in Auschwitz, and I live in Georgia. She got deported to the ghetto, although I didn’t. She got transported to a concentration camp which was very sad because she was only twelve. She also died in a gas chamber. And that is the saddest thing to hear.

     In conclusion, Naomi and many other children died for no reason. Naomi and any other child who died during the Holocaust could have done so much for the future and on. Over 1.5 million children died and they should be rewarded for living, and demonstrating courage, despite the obstacles. Through honoring the life of Naomi, I hope that we all can learn not to take life for granted, and do onto others what you would have them do unto you. Let’s all live by the golden rule.
