I chose to do the jewish star because it is the most significant artificat in the beginning of "Night". The Jews had to wear the star to seperate them from the Germans. This is significant to both WWII and my book because this is what was really happening to the jews. Who: The Jews wore the star, What: The important artificat, Where: In a Transylvanian town called Sighet, When: In the summer of 1944, and Why: Because it was to show they had no more freedom. Also to show how the Germans and their government had complete control over the Jews. To remind the Jews that they were in power and above them.

This Jewish star is important because it reminds the Jews that they are no longer in control and that the Germans were. That their freedom is gone. They no longer have no say so in what happens. From here on out they were just slaves of the higher class being the Germans.I predict that the rest of my story will be about the Jews being below the Germans and the Jews having their whole life turned around from here on out.


Yes, this artifact does. It shows how just because the jews looked different and were a different race they were treated so badly. I didnt understand the meaning of the jewish star until I started reading this book. This star changes everything about the Jews and WWII.
