Fatelessness Task

1.- This book has a message that the author himself left in the novel without even knowing that he was leaving a very important message, the message is that the book itself its a dead memoir so we the people of today don't make the same mistakes that the nazi's have done. Like in the video an interview to Imre kertesz he said that the book itself would be a memoir to all the people so we dont commit the same mistakes, he said that to us and also i believe that this is right, its the only way that we have to not make the same mistakes as them, we learn through errors and thats the best way to learn. Without this source of information that the author gave us we would be making a second holocaust and the world itself would be like hell, this is why history is important,without it we would be making the same errors and history wouldn't exist.

2.- Its hard to understan the points of view given in fatelessnes, this is a cultural problem, mainly because we lack of information and this type of information cant be given, is something you have to live, there are some things that words cannot explain, such things as the holocaust, what we know about it are just the suffering of the people and how germans burned all those jews, we can`t really know how was it since we didnt lived when that was happening, maybe it was something that was right or maybe it really was a bad thing but this we will never know; people from germany from today has nothing to do with the nazi community from the 1940, this people is really repentated about this, something you really cant be proud of, but we really dont know since we lack of cultural experience to really understand what happened at the holocaust and how they felt.

3.- what really makes fatelessness so interesting is the technique that the author use, the narrative technique, " You must be aware that telling a story is a complex negotiation between author and reader, involving the artificial creation of a temporary reality. The skilful reader is both inside this reality, responding to it – and outside, observing it." this type of technique is demanding the reader to fall into step with the narrator, in this case the author is making the rythm of the novel so the reader don't lose the interest on the book; also this book is written in first person, wich gives you a more realistic point of view of what is happening right at the time and at that place, how the narrators is explaining the moment, personality and skillful reading must be taken into account, this judges the relative truth of what the narrators is telling us.

4.- The holocaust helped the readers to understand the book fatelessness in a better way, the context of this book is a real key factor to make it successful without it the novel wouldnt be as interesting as it is right now,
the creation of this story wouldn't have be this better if it wasnt because of the context in wich it was putted on. The atrocities that happened at the holocaust made the readers feel like they knew what they felt at that palce and at that moment the holocaust was a connection to the readers with the author, without it the novel wouldn't have that much sense and the backline of the story would be boring and the interest would be lost easily.

Irme kertesz

1.- the monuments made by the american artist Peter Eiserman represents the museum of terror.
2.- The paradox that the presenter mentions regarding  Imre Kertesz and. The place where he lives is that he now lives  in the country that once tried to kill him (Germany) instead of living at his hometown, Hungary.
3.- Antisemitism after Auschwitz would be because they dont know anything about the holocaust, before auschwitz would be the influence from part of Hitler.
4.- this make us much richer, the information that they give us is another point of view of what happened, this makes it better since we have anothe POV of the situation.

The concentration camps are now destroyed and im going back to home now, I missed you a lot my son and the only thing that kept me alive was that i needed to protect you, thank you, withouth you I would have lost hope and left myself die.
Im on my way, wait for me son, dont lose hope, ill be back soon and we are going to have fun again together as a family, I have to say that i never thougt that i could be back at anytime, I was worried because of that. Gyuri I was very preocuppied about you, sad and hopeless but now i got my composture back and im ready to go.
 im not really sure if im going to make it back, im scared and i dont wanna know anything more about this, the concentration camps were pure suffering and death and sadness, this was a massacre the amount of people killed in the concentration camps were a lot, I was thinking what would i do if I were on their place.... I might have let them kill me, and finish the suffering they were making me going through.
