AliciaMy Story

A detailed Summary of AliciaMy Story

1. Give a short summary of your book. (characters , conflict, complications, climaxes, resolutions)

The story was mainly about Alicia Jurman's life during and after the Holocaust. In her life she had witnessed more trauma that we can't even imagine, such as her mother getting killed right in front of her. That's not all, her whole family was killed during the holocaust. Her family cruelly wrenched from her, Alicia rescued other Jews from the Gestapo, led them to safe hide outs. She was only 13 when she began saving the lives of people she did not know. After the war Alicia continued to risk her life, leading Polish Jews on an under ground route to freedom in Palestine. I enjoyed this story a lot, but did not enjoy reading about the part where she tells about her mother getting killed, which kind of made me cry a little. After all that she had settled down and is mother of three grown children, living in California with her husband, and a writer and lecturer. Alicia Jurman had been 35 around the time she wrote this book. Before she had wrote this book she had gone around grade schools, high schools, colleges, synagogues, and churches letting people know what had actually had hap

Alicia Jurman- She was the developing character because as the story went along she had developed into a stronger willed person and also developed into the main character.

She risked her life to lead Jews into Palestine where freedom from Russia and Germany was. She also helped point out the horrifying things that went on during the times of the Holocaust. With what she has written we have probably one of the best accounts of the Holocaust.

The Germans- The Germans had been the foil because they are the ones who tried to kill her. They had also been the main reason why she had so much grief and trauma.

c. What things happened that changed her?
