Student Question
What actions did Daniel and his father take to assist the resistance in Daniel's Story?
Quick answer:
Daniel and his father assist the resistance by joining a group at Auschwitz, where Daniel is tasked with photographing camp life for Allied forces. Later, at Buchenwald, they participate in a resistance movement with access to guns and radio equipment to contact the Allies. Daniel's father uses his gun to shoot a German officer, contributing to the resistance efforts.
At Auschwitz, Daniel joins a resistance group among the inmates after meeting up with an old friend from Lodz. The other members of the group task Daniel with using his skills as a photographer to take secret pictures of the horrors of camp life, which will then be smuggled out to the approaching Allied troops.
Unfortunately, Daniel doesn't get much of a chance to put his skills to good use because before long he and his father are sent off to another concentration camp: Buchenwald. Once there, they join the resistance movement, which has access to guns as well as radio equipment—which they use to make contact with the Allies. Both Daniel and his father are given guns, and Daniel's father uses his weapon to shoot a German officer.
