The movie “Sophie’s Choice” is a very well done film that shows the tragic story of a woman 

who is transported to a death camp with her two children and must pick one of them to live and 

one to be killed. How could someone? A mother who loves her children more than anything, 

must give one to death? The Nazi’s had no compassion and most of the time wouldn’t even 

let a mother pick either. The bond between families is the most powerful thing someone could 

have in something like the holocaust and death camps, the Nazi’s would separate families and 

ruin this. Elie took care of his father through every journey they encountered and kept him living, 

his father being sick helped Elie to stay alive as well. Without Elie’s father there, He might’ve died 

and without Elie, it is believe his father would have died much sooner. 

The Nazi’s made this woman pick one child and it was heart breaking to even think about doing 

something as hard as that.
