This is a story on Gratitude that I heard a while ago. It started off with two sisters in Germany both Jews during World War 2. They were captured and put in a concentration camp. Luckily for them they were not killed just worked hard all day.
(Let's stop for a second and explain what the Holocaust was and all of that stuff. If you know it and all about all ready just skip this and keep reading the story. Thanks! :D) The Holocaust was during World War 2 Hitler the dictator of Germany which is a person that takes over the government so king of like a king. Well Hitler wanted people that looked like a German and Jews did not. So Hitler demanded in such a cruel thing he did that Jews,Gypsies,disabled people,and anyone that didn't follow his rules to be taken to the Concentration Camp. Now I am not going to be going deep on what happen in Concentration Camps because, it is very sad. However all I can say is some people in the Concentration Camp were immediately killed or, like the sisters were put to work doing no good hard work and then later lots of them died of starvation and sickness. Also luckily the sisters were not separated because, usually family's were separated. The males had a separated part of camp and, the women were separated from their children it is so sad. Most people that were put in the Concentration Camp ended up dying or, staying there till U.S.A. came and freed them there was really no escaping the concentration camps either. It was a cruel,horrible,nasty, and in all just a bad place. However there our still survivors who tell their story today. Now as you can see the Holocaust was a very sad cruel thing. Where these sisters were in this story was an awful place. However later U.S.A and it'sallies stopped Hitler from taking over the world and stopping the holocaust and helping the people get better from the Concentration camps. Yippee for the U.S.A! ( Now back to the story.)
The sister were always hungry because, (the Nazis who were soldier like guards in the Concentration camp) would give like one slice of bread for like the whole day usually only for food. The sister were also not comfortable because, their beds had lice and fleas all over it. Which made them itch and uncomfortable also because they had to sleep on bunk beds just wood with a tiny thin sheet for comfort and to share with 7 other people squished on the wood bed with them. The work was also useless to anyone and just done so they would have some hard punishment for the girls to do because, they were just cruel like that. Even though the girls were separated from their family and were having a tough time. They still would each night when they knew they had to get up early and were put to bed from work late. They would still remember to pray and read a bible they brought together they would secretly pray where no guard would see them because, if a guard caught them they would be punished severely or, even killed. They also tried not to let the guards see them reading their bible either. They would always each night pray for something they were thankful for and each night even though in this awful place. They had something they would say they were thankful for their. One day a guard caught them with the bible now the guard didn't punish them but, he was going to take the bible away. Though the guard never took because, of the fleas no guard would come into the little shelter unless forced by a higher officer because, of all the fleas and nasty pest in their. Also after that no guard really even caught them reading from the bible because, no guard would really look because, that means they would have to go in the shelter with the fleas and other pests in the shelter. Each night the girls would still say what they were thankful for but, lots of nights they would pray how they were thankful for fleas and all the other pesticides in their. The pests were awful the girls really disliked them but, they were thankful for them because, the fleas and other pests. Made it easy and able for the sisters to read their bible in peace and without the guards taking it from them. Even though they had to work and starve really bad. They were thankful each day of their lives their for they got to read their bible each night. Also they were thankful for such a horrible thing like pest and fleas and were thankful for something in such a horrible place. Many people in the Concentration Camps saw the fleas and lice as a curse but, the sisters saw it as a blessing. Since the guards wouldn't come in and bother them or, take their bible. It is a great example of how anything in life can be a blessing even the bad things. I do not know if the girls sadly died at the Concentration Camp since they were little girls or, if they lived to tell their story in person. They probably did live but, if they didn't they our with their family now in Heaven and the Lord is probably very proud of them and loves them with all his heart. This story comes to show us that no matter what circumstance in life we still can be happy and grateful and have a good life no matter what. Remember to always be grateful, happy, and to make the best things out of life like these girls.For if you do you will have a great life and afterlife. :)
