Could you ever choose between your children? In the movie "Sophie's Choice" Meryl Streep's character is presented with the most heart?

I think I'd be more prone to say take me.. leave both of them. I really don't think I could make the choice. I'm not sure one living would be better, living life knowing your mom chose you.. living with the memory of watching your sibling/s die.

I think I'll watch the movie though, sounds ..thought provoking.

I don’t think I could make that choice. It is too hard and how could you ever possibly weigh out pros and cons when deciding your child’s fate (in this case, death), let alone live with yourself afterwards if you did decide to choose. I think rather than have them both killed, if I didn’t make the choice, I would negotiate with whoever was making this request until they agreed to take me instead of any of my children.

I would try to explain this decision to my children as well as possible and tell them that one day, when they had children of their own, they would surely understand my decision. I would gladly take their place and die for them knowing that they would be able to live their lives long after I was gone. Of course, if there were any chance at all to fight against whoever was responsible or to get away, I would certainly try these options first.LOL.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
