Many people who were forced into the ghettos knew they would eventually be killed by the Nazis. They wanted some record to prove they existed. So they took Ringelblum milkcans, filled them with items that symbolized their existence, and buried them deep underground. Some of these milkcans are still found today when roadwork and sewer construction occurs in parts of Europe.
If you had to choose an item that symbolized who you are as a person, what would it be? Explain what it is and why it represents you.
Minimum six sentence paragraph! Remember to include your first name and first letter of your last name, as well as your period number!

Charles R period 3
If i had to choose one thing to represent me i would choose my modified soccer trophy. This trophy says Most valuable player. This represents my love to play soccer. I have played since i was 8. I had the chance to play with many people that are very good. But i have been getting better and better. I felt honored to get chosen for the Mvp trophy. During the season i had all but 2 of our teams goals. My love for soccer gets bigger each year as i get better and better along with my team.
Garrett is the Bomb pr.3

Kasia A. pr.3.
I had to leave behind objects, I was killed by the Nazis. To represent me, I would leave behind my special rock, and my little owl figurine. My special rock represents me because I am strong, and it changes color when it's wet, which makes it unique and I beleive I am a unique person. My little owl figurine was given to me by a friend for my birthday. I beleive my owl would represent that I am a wise person, and I give advice and help to anyone who needs it. So remember me, not as an outcast, a non-Aryan, but as a wise, strong, unique person.

I think a rough emerald, like one fresh out of the earth, would represent me. Emerald is my birthstone. I am a multi dimensional person. I have LOTS of hobbies and things that I like. Just like the gem, there are a lot of ways I could turn out, and a lot of purposes I could fufill. Depending on how you look at it, you might get a different perspective. Some people may say that I should be an artist, others may say an engineer. Someone could look at the emerald as inspiration for a painting, or someone else could see it as the inspiration for a building shape, or a way to project light. When emeralds are pulled out of the Earth, they are rough, unpolished, dirty, and yet so full of possibilities! There are so many ways it could turn out, just like me! That's why I would choose an emerald as my symbol.
Jaimee H.
period 3
My name is Jaimee. I have been forced into hiding. I know I'm going to die, and I want to leave this behind so I can be remembered in a good way. I have left behind my necklace and a piece of paper containing my running times. This necklace is extremely important to me, as it was the last thing my dad ever gave to me, and it is a great reminder of him. It is silver with a soccer ball pendant. This also shows my love for soccer. The piece of paper with my times on it is from the Erie County Interscholastic Championships (ECICs) and is very important to me. I ran my best times ever at that meet, and whenever I think about it I think of how much I have improved and how much more I can. I was really proud that day because I proved that I was the fastest girl on the distance team. It also reminds me of my great coaches and my family that supported me. Please use these objects to try to understand my life, even though by now I am probably gone.
Troy S. Period 2
My name is Troy. I'm in hiding and my situation is bleak. I'm eventually going to be killed by the Nazis. I want to be remembered, therefore I want to put one of my hokey pucks in a Ringelblum milkcan. This puck though, is special to me because I got it at a Sabres game that I attended with my dad. On the front there is a Sabres logo, and on the back there is writing and the Comissiners computrized signature. When I was at this game, the puck ended up in the Sabres bench. Lindy Ruff, the Sabres head coach turned to me and flipped the puck over the glass to me. This hockey puck symbolizes me and my love for hockey.

I would bring my book of classical guitar music, by Heitor Villa Lobos. The reason I would bring this is because theis book consists of my favorite music. I also write when i perfected the pieces inside. I would also bring my Crvena Zvezda soccer jersey. This jersey has my favorite number, 10, and my last name. That is how i would like to be remembered.
Daniel L
Period 3
During the Holocaust, many people couldn't bring many items with them when they were shipped off to the concentration camps. To combat this inconvience, they filled milkcans with one or two items of importance to them. If I was in their shoes, I would bring my three two dollaar bills, folded up and placed inside of my great grandfather's 1913 gold pocketwatch. I would bring these items with me because of there great importance to me. These bills are imortant to me because they were given to me by my grandparents. Each one gave me one bill. The pocketwatch is more valuable to me because it has been passed down generation to generation in my family. First my great grandfather gave it to my grandpa, then he gave it to my dad, and finally i recieved it. It is in a way like a family heirloom. Overall, I would bring this item due to its small size and its great value to me.
Brianna G, Per 3.
You don't know who I am because this milkcan has been buried for years. My name is Brianna, and I have a couple very important items in my life that symbolize me. In this milkcan, I left my iPod and pictures of me and all my friends in it. First, my iPod. I would leave my iPod in the milkcan because of the things on it. All the music I have symbolize my personality and a lot of pictures of me and my friends are on there also. Second, I would put the photos of me and my friends in the milkcan. They show all of the memories and fun times me and my friends have had. In conclusion, my iPod and pictures are placed in this milkcan to show who I am.
Sydney M. Per.3
My name is Sydney, and if I had to choose an item or items that could symbolize me would have to be a picture of my family and me and another picture of my friends and me. The picture of my family and I would be with my Dad and Mom who has always been supportive in what I want to do, and my little sister who has always been there. This picture would symbolize me because it means that I love my family, how close we are and how we’d do anything for each other. The other picture would be of my best friends and I. The picture would be of the friends who have gotten me through a lot of though times, and who are always there for me, and the friends that I'll always be there for as well. This picture would symbolize me because it shows how much I love my friends; how we'll always be they’re for each other, how we'd do anything for each other, and how close we have been for years!
My name is Paige and I was forced into hiding. When I went into hiding, I brought a picture of my whole family. All of my aunts, uncles, cousins, second cousins, my mom, my dad, grandmothers, grandfathers, and great aunts. This picture means so much to me because they mean so much to me and they're always there for me. I also brought my blanket I got right after I was taken home from the hospital. My mom bought me this soft, yellow blanket for me to sleep with. I put a piece of it here in this milk can. I love this blanket and it means so much to me.
P.Hill Period 3
Whitney Z. Period 3 My name is Whitney Zimmermann. When I came into hiding I brought one item with me. This item is a picture os me and my dad and a picture of me and my mom. Both these pictures would be put in a little jewlery box I got when I was little. When yousee this item i want you to remember who i was and who my family was. I want everyone to remember not only me but my parents because if it wasent for them I wouldnt be who I am today. I have many more things I would put in here, but these pictures explain me and who my family is. One last thing i would try and put in there is a little glass dancer my nana got me the first year i started dancing. I am a huge dancer and it is pretty much my life so it would definatly have to be in there. I wish i could put so much more in here but these two things do the best thing of explaining me.
Jocie L. PER.3
My name is Jocelyn Lorenz and if you found this then you could tell alot about me. Inside this can is my prized possesion: the Beatles and my stuffed animal mouse. My mouse's name is Mousey. She has gone through everything with me and comforts me when I need it. I'm thankful for her and even though she is wore down and old from all of our adventures together, she is the prettiest thing I own. So, please take care of her. Next is my Beatles albums. The Beatles are my all time favorite band and their music is like the soundtrack to my life. I can't imagine a world without their music in it. The songs make me happy or calm me down, they make me laugh or cry. I want to be remembered for my love of their music and I don't want them to be forgotten either. Please take care of my belongings, their all I have left to prove I existed...
Marina T Per: 3
My name is Marina, and like many others, I have been forced into a concentration camp. I have a milkcan, and I want to put something in it to symbolize me. I think I'll put in this photo album filled with pictures. The album is white with blue and green dots. I have pictures of my family and friends who greatly influence my life. My mother, father, sister, half brother, and maggie (my dog) are my dear family. I have a picture of my soccer team with a trophy we won at a tournament, my friends jaimee, erin, and brianna trying on dresses, places around the world I've visited like Paris, and pictures of any animals I see. These pictures can symbolize who I am. My favorite colors are blue and green, how I LOVE my family and friends, activities I like doing, everything I have seen, and how much I LOVE animals!!! I think this album is the perfect symbol for me.
Erin B., Period 3
My name is Erin and I have been forced into hiding. Living in the ghettos has been horrendous and I believe I may never get out of this nightmare alive. I want to make sure that I am remembered no matter what is to happen to me or my family so I am leaving behind the song that I wrote entitled "Just Believe" and an excerpt from my unfinished story "Heart and Soul."
My one love is music and I will play my piano for hours on end. Since my family and I have been forced to leave our home I havn't found a piano or any instrument of any kind but I still hoped I would so I could play my composition one more time. Now I feel that I may never get that chance so I am leaving that behind, hoping that you or whoever ends up reading this will play it and imagine my life and what I must have been like.
With the music I put a story that I started but never got the chance to finish. Who knows? Maybe you or someone you know will end up finishing it for me and it will be published.
I dream of a day that no race is ever persacuted and no family will ever have to endure what many families are going through right now. Hopefully by leaving these pieces of me I will be remembered and my legacy will live on through you or someone else.
By now if you found this Ringelblum milk can then I have been gone for a while and I didn’t want to be forgotten. My name is Gabrielle Canino and I am 14 years old. My necklace would represent who I am as a person. The reason why is because, it has my name on it. I got it when I was around the age of 3/4 from the Zoo. Another thing is my heart charm bracelet I got it on Christmas from my cousin. And it is very special to me. One last thing is my blue BFF bracelet me and my 2 other friends share it the one has purple and the other one has the green bracelet. And so these pieces of jewelry are special to me and represent who I am.
Ali Paige. Period 3. (:
Something that symbolizes myself, as a person, is a picture of my brother and I. My brother means the world and more to me, and I don't know what I would do with out seeing and talking to him every day. One night while we had friends over I had carried him on my shoulders because no one had thought that I was strong enough. There were many pictures taken because people were amazed, but my older brother is tall and skinny, so it wasn't very hard to hold him up. I know I can always be myself with my brother, and I trust him with my life. We tell each other almost everything, and we always joke around and have pretended fights. A picture of my brother and I shows my personality and how close we are.
joseph m. per.3
If I had to go into hiding and had to bring one thing that symbolize me it would be a yearbook. i would put this in there so if i do die then who ever digs it up they will see who ever went to tonawanda middle school.also i would put a photo of my family with the names next to them so people will have records of who died. it would be helpfull so if any family member or friend will know who died and or lived.with all the stuff i would bring the survivers would know how many people died in the genisied.if some one i knew found it it would be helpfull so they can remeber all their friends that died.
Alex O. Per.3
The item that i would leave would be a picture of me and my family. It would be a picture of me, my mother, father, and sister. If someone finds the picture they would know who went through all the is/was going on. They would know how much I loved my family. I would also leave a note on the back of the picture that explains where we came from, who we are, how we got here, etc. That way people will remember us/know how much I loved my family, if they find it, when we die.
Michael G. Period 3
My name is Michael Gertis. It has been a while now since I have been placed here in the ghettos. I know the Nazis won't let me live for long so I am going to put some things in a milkcan and hide it so that when some one finds it they will know something about me after I'm gone. The things I am going to put in this can is a picture of me and my family along with my shirt from the first school I went to. These are important to me because my family has always been there with me and that school is where I grew up and it brings back great memories of when I was little and used to go there. These are the things that I am going to put in the milkcan. I am going to hide them here in the ghettos so that someday some one will know about me.
Jon T.
If I could choose one thing to symbolize me it would be my resistance cords from home. I would choose this because it is my favorite tool to use when working out and this represents me. Working out is not all of the idea though, this represents me I am the kind of person that constantly wants to improve myself and push myself to be the best me that I can. Also I would put a pocket knife in. I would put in a pocket knife because it represents pain and somtimes pain makes me work harder and push myself to be better than I was. I guess you could say that pain is my coach, it tells me when im wrong, it makes me work harder and it humbles me when im on top. Both of these items are not only my possesions but they are who I am.
Kyle.N Per.3
If I had to leave and could only leave one or two things to symbolize me i would have a hard time choosing. I think I would leave a hockey puck and a swimming trophy. I would leave a hockey puck because I love hockey. Hockey is my favorite sport and I play it alot. I would also leave a swimming trophy. I like to swim alot. I have been swimming sense I was a little kid. I believe these two objects symbolize me well and thats why I would leave them.
Matthew B. period 3
My name is Matthew Bowser, and I am long since gone from this earth. I have put the possesion of mine that I feel best represents me. This possesion is my orange SHINE! bracelet.

I hope that whoever finds this can will appreciate why I made this and will let my life live on in peoples' hearts.
Alaina H. Period 3

John Gerace period 2
My name is John. If i was every forced into hidding I would leave one item behind to remember me by. That one item I would leave behind would be my laptop. I would leave this because saved on my laptop are documents created by me. This will show people who I was and what I was like based on my writing and art work and any saved videos and/or, pictures. I think this would be a great way to leave behind my mark.
Kari K. pr 2.
My name is kari, you probably dont know me because i have been in hiding for quite sometime now. I would like for people to find my Ringelblum milkcan, and look at my one item and discover who i am. If i had an oppurtunity to only put one item to symbolize me, i would put a picture of me and my family together. The picture would show how much my family means to me, and that we all worked together to hide and try to stay alive. My family raised me since i was born, and we have been together ever since. My family has created who i am today, mainly my mom and dad. They have shown me right from wrong, and showed me how to live even in rough times like hiding.
if i were to die i would pick to leave behind my urn with my dads ashes in it. my dad died in 09 and its something i have from him.i love him very much. if i died ibn a concentration camp. i love my family. good bye all.

Noah B period 2
If I had to go into the ghettos I would bring something that would repressent me. That thing would be my favorite sheet music for the piano. I would do this because of my liking for this music and because I learned how to play the piano. And because I am interested in how the piano works. I would also bring this so if I don't survive the ghettos at least the people that find this could at least play this. I would also bring this with me so I could remember how music helped me. Finally I would Bring this music for many reasons, the most important I thing would be to remember the music.

I also chose my teddy bear because my grand mother gave it to me. It was hers from when she was a little girl. It then was my mothers then my sisters then mine. It came from my great great great great great great granmother. (6 generations ago.) It gets passed down from mother to daughter to little siser and so on. So it means alot to me. That is why I am writing this and why i chose these items. Take care of these things for me and pass the teaddy bear down from generation to generation for me.
Thank You
Sincearly,

If you are reading this than the worst has happened. What you are to find in this milk jug will be one of my most prized possesions, along with this letter. What this item is is a necklace from my father that he gave me when I was young. It is the necklace of Saint Peter and it symbolises good virtue and honesty. It is incredibly important to me because it once belonged to my father, and it belonged to his father, and so on for many generations. If I have any childern when this can is uncovered, and I probably will, I wish it to be given to them to carry on the tradition. That is all I have to say, goodbye.

If I was in hiding and I could choose one thing to represent me I would choose my sketch book. When people think of a sketch books people think of drawing, but I do many things in my sketch book. I make sketchs, drawings, come up with random ideas, write music, and draw random skits. I think that if anyone found this it could tell alot about me and my love of art and music. My sketch book is important to me because it makes my ideas and thoughts more BOLD to me, it lets me write done my random ideas I've been thinking for a while. My sketch book tells alot about me, what I like, and maybe my personality. :D

If there was one thing that I would choose to represent me it would be my Derek Jeter rookie card. I would pick this item because it means a lot to me. I got it for christmas from my mom. Derek Jeter is not only my favorite Yankees player, but my favorite MLB player. He has been on the Yankees for ao long and when he started with them he was number 24 and now he's number 2. Derek Jeter is not like some players who staroids and he now hlods the record for most hits. Hopefully one day I can go to a Yankees game and get it signed and then it would be worth tons of money. That's why I would choose my Derek Jeter rookie card to represent me.

I would bring my Livestrong Bracelet to represent my courage and strength. Those are the reasons why i would put those items in a milk can.

If I ever had to go into hiding I would choose two items to take with me to represent who I was. The first item I would take would be my Beatles poster. This would represent my favorite band and what kind of music I like. I have liked the Beatles for a very long time, ever since I heard my Grandpa listening to them and he told me who they were. The second item I would take would be a Hackie Sack. This item would represent that I liked to play Hackie Sack. Hackie Sack was first introduced me to Hackie Sack when my Dad was showing me how to play, but I haven't actually played Hackie Sack until I played with Mr. Hardleben.
Meghan T. period 8
If I had to choose things to represent me I would first choose my soccer jersey. My soccer jersey represents who I am because it's the one thing that has stayed consistant in my life. I've been playing since I was 2 1/2 years old. When I play with my jersey, I feel in a complete other world and that just comforts me. Another thing I would bring that would represent me is my photo album with my best friend in it. She was my sister and those pictures showed what kind of a friend I am, and who I would associate myself with. The last thing I would choose is my soccer trophey. This shows how hard working I am and how I strive to be the best. This was the first trophey I won with my family and we worked harder then anyone could imagine. It means a lot to me just like my jersey because I scored the tying goal. If that didn't happen, we wouldn't have gone to the shootout and won. The trophey reminds me of how family and friends are so important in one persons life.

These two items are very special to me and I dont want to lose them at any time. I just hope they will last forever.

She's one of the people I can be myself around,and someone who I tell basically everything to.I know she will always be there for me,and i'll always be there for her.I would choose many more things if I could,but if I had to choose,it would be a picture of me and my sister.

Meghan B period 2
If I had to choose something that would represent me and would keep safe would be the ring I gave my grandmother and the bracelet my brother gave me. 1st the ring I gave my grandmother because when I was little I gave my grandma a mood ring that said I Love You on it. She wore it untill the day she died and it ment a lot to me. 2nd the bracelet my brother gave me because it was an Army braclet and said Army Strong. This bracelet can't be found anywhere, and when he got it he gave it to me. It represented me because he gave to me when our family was going through a really tough time and I was staying strong through anything. Whenever I look at them it makes me feel better.
