Who is it part 2

Once i had analysed the first photograph. I then swapped my photograph with a second member of my graphics group, and write a second biography based on that person.

ARTHUR BARRET

At the age of 12 Arthur grew up in hiding. Germany was the worst place on earth for the Jewish to live. The most evil man on the planet, Adolf Hitler, was murdering thousands of people because they were Jews. Arthur and his family lived in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of Germany. For a while they were safe. Holocaust camps were set up all over Germany. At the beginning many people were tricked in to the camps by empty promises made by Hitler and his men. The Jews were gassed. Men, women, children and even little babies were murdered. News of the deaths were spreading fast and Arthur’s family knew they had to hide for as long as it took for the killings to end. Many times the army had marched past the abandoned factory in which they lived. Special measures were in place for their survival. Dark thick curtains were put up in every window and they were almost silent at all times.

After 2 years of living in the factory it became more dangerous and impossible to survive, they had to migrate to Poland if there was any chance of survival. Arthur managed to find a map that enabled them to plan a route to Poland in which they wouldn’t be seen. The best route was the train line, it was the only way they could get their fast and efficiently without being captured. After a whole week of careful planning Arthur’s family made their move in the middle of the night when the streets were quiet and empty. Arthur and his father raced on ahead to check that it was safe for his sister and his mother to proceed. From the shadows of an alley a German soldier popped out his hiding place and grabbed Arthur and his father. His mother and sister watched from the shadows of darkness, they crept back to the factory where they waited and waited. Arthur and his father never made it back to the factory.

The following evening both mother and sister were captured, took to the nearest camp, where they were starved for days and then finally told they could have a shower, with an extra 150 people. They were then gassed in the chamber; the bodies were either buried in mass graves or burnt. Arthur and his father were taken to a different camp.

After days of starvation, Arthur and his father managed to escape in to the nearest forest and took as many others as they could with them. Only the bravest followed. Many of them were to frightened of the consequences if caught trying to escape. Once they all got past the camp they split their own ways trying to find safe places to live and hide out. After a week of hiding out in the dense forest Arthur and his fathered were once again captured. Tortured and starved for days, neither of them gave up the hiding places of others that managed to escape and not found a second time. Although there were a large percentage of those that escaped that managed to get to Poland and hide.

In 1944 Arthur and his father were gassed in the gas chambers along side 200 others. Hitler invaded Poland and the Jews continued to be murdered at an alarming rate. However those that managed to escape the camps and survive throughout the war were grateful for being given the chance of survival by Arthur Barret and his father.
