Compare And Contrast Essay On The Holocaust
Creative Title
Once, Elie Wiesel a Holocaust survivor stated, "Never shall I forget the little faces of the children, whose bodies turned into wreaths of smoke beneath
a silent blue sky. Elie is explaining how innocent children would be killed just for being Jewish. During the Holocaust, about 6 million Jews were killed.
They were first highly discriminated and then that led to the concentration which they were forced to work to the death. During the Holocaust, the
discrimination impacted the way people viewed Jews and helped Hitler's ultimate plan. To begin, there were many political laws implemented
against Jews. Secondly, Following all of the political laws implemented against the Jews, there were also many social laws that the Jews faced.
Lastly, the Nazis separated the Jews from the rest of society by creating ghettos. To begin, there were many political laws implemented against Jews.
In the earlier years of World War II, the Nazis declared their goal to segregate Jews from the "Aryan" society.
They were planning on taking away the jews political, civil, and legal rights. This quote states, "Government agencies at all levels aimed to exclude
Jews from the economic sphere of Germany by preventing them from earning a living." (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum...show more

An Explanation Of The Holocaust
What is the Holocaust, you might ask? The Holocaust occurred through January 30, 1933 – May 8, 1945. It was the Nazi's way of demonstrating their
power, acting like gods over the people, especially the Jews, based on their racist and anti–Semitic ideology. The Holocaust was used for the purpose to

The Holocaust and Genocide Essay
"Why is the killing of 1 million a lesser crime then the killing of one person?" (Scream Bloody Murder). Throughout history groups of people have
been killed by ruling powers, but the unlawful acts went without title until recent events in the
1940Кјs. The mass killings in Germany activated against the Jews created a new word, genocide. "Genocide refers to the widespread murder and other
acts committed by governments or other groups with the intent to destroy – in whole or in part– a national, racial, religious or ethnic group" (Choices
Program 1). This definition was placed by international governments, but the word was developed by a single man in response to the Holocaust.

"The worldКјs foremost superpower, America, has almost never acted to stop a race of people from being exterminated, even when confronted with
overwhelming evidence"
(Rusesabagina 137). ItКјs hard to reach out in so many different areas, but itКјs also hard to see countries allowing genocide to continue when they
could help end it. Many lives couldКјve been saved if America had helped to end the Holocaust, but it chose to avoid the involvement. The world
closed its eyes, closed its ears, and turned its back on what was happening (Rusesabagina 98). The Holocaust went on for years and people couldКјve
chosen to investigate, but instead they left it to its undoing.
World War II and the Holocaust was the result of harsh conditions in Germany after the conclusion of World War I. The war "ended in disaster for the
German nation...not only the economy, but the spirit of the country was destroyed by the
Versailles Treaty of 1919" (Rossel 9). The rules set up for Germany were unfair because fault for war cannot be placed on a single country. More
problems arose in the 1930Кјs when the Depression spread. "By 1932 over three million Germans were out of work...More and more the military
leaders looked to Hitler for an answer" (Rossel 17).
They needed a leader, and HitlerКјs power in Germany was growing by using the peopleКјs pent up anger

According to Elie Wiesel, an American Jewish writer and holocaust survivor, "It all happened so fast. The ghetto. The deportation. The sealed cattle
car. The fiery altar upon which the history of our people and the future of mankind were meant to be sacrificed." Wiesel was describing how the future
was questionable, and how they did so much to affect how we live today. In the holocaust, lives of many were put to waste, and innocent people were
tortured. Though most non–Jews supported the holocaust, there was a select group of people who worked hard to end it. This group was known as the
resistance. During the Holocaust, many groups contributed to the freedom of Jews. First, Jewish partisans fought for freedom of Jews. Secondly,...show

The road to the creation of the Holocaust started with one man. Adolf Hitler. Although thousands of people agreed with anti–Semitism at the time he
was the one who started to take his thoughts into actions. After World War 1, German was in great poverty, unemployment and starvation. And the one
group of people to blame were the Jewish people. Christians have been angry at the Jewish people ever since they killed Christ, and Adolf Hitler

And they burned holy books as well as forcing the Jewish people to sit through long sermons promising hell to anyone who died Jewish. But, the
difference between the anti–Jewish behavior of the Church and the anti–Semitic behavior of the Nazi's was that the Church wished to destroy Judaism
by converting the Jewish people, Hitler wanted to destroy the Jews themselves (45–47). This was the first recorded anti–Jewish behavior. After the
murder of Christ, all Christians and Catholics hated the Jewish people. But they had reason and every generation the Churches have decided of way
after way of punishing the Jewish people. But Germany has had a long history of anti–Semitism.
Consistent with Rossel, Germany has had a past of anti–Semitism, starting in 1542 when the great German Protestant leader Martin Luther wrote a
booklet called Against the Jews and Their Lies. Even earlier the Catholic Churches had taught that the Jewish people killed Crist and should therefore
be hated (10). Early teachings of anti–Semitism lead to a hating of the Jewish community, but with the German's calling themselves the "Aryan Race"
and the Jewish people calling themselves the "chosen one's" there was bound to be competition on who was superior.
According to Rossel, the Treaty of Versailles demolished the spirit of Germany, this is because of all countries in Europe, and Germany's had its pride
in stability in their military strength. But the new government was weak and

World War II and The Holocaust Essay
You learn about War World II and the Holocaust in history every year, but do you really understand why? We often stop learning about the war after
Peral Harbor because that is when the U.S. got involved. But there is more to War World II than just Pearl Harbor.
The Holocaust all started with a man named Adolf Hitler. Reserach shows that Adolf had a bad childhood. As most boys he wanted to make his
father proud, but when he applied for art school his father was not pleased. Even knowing his father would not approve he applied for art school

Liberate is the shutting down of the camp. Even after the war was over camps were still being liberated.
When people hear War World II orThe Holocaust they often think about the "Diary of Anne Frank". Anne 's diary was published in 1947 telling the
story of her family hiding away in an Sercert Annex from the Nazi party. There were eight people hiding in the annex, her diary shows that they were
in hiding for two years. Facts say that on August 4th 1944 Anne and everyone in the annex were sent to their first camp.In total documents show that
she went to three camps, two being death camps. Anne Frank did not live to see the liberation of her camp; but her father lived to be 91 years old.
Jewish people(Jews) were put through hard times. Documents show that they had separte stores, schools, bathrooms, and restraunt. They had to be in
their homes by a certain time each night, stories show that they weren't even allowed to sit on their front pourch. The Star of David was wore on all
of their clothes to remind people that they were a jew. They were not allowed to use public transportation or own buisnesses. What the Jews went
through is a lot like what blacks went through in the United States. Blacks had separte schools and stores, they weren't allowed to sit on the bus they
had to stand.
I believe that we study the Holocaust to remember these things. In your history class normally you stop learning about War World II

The Holocaust was a time when many Jews and other "undesirables" lost their lives because of Hitler and the Nazis. The genocide lasted for twelve
years, from 1933 to 1945, and about eleven million lives were lost durring this time. Even though the Holocaust is over, learning about it helps us
understand how power can be abused.
Adolf Hitler was an Austrian man who became Germany's chancellor in 1933. Before he became chancellor, he worked within the government of
Germany and manipulated laws to put him in power and make what he was going to do legal. Hitler was able to motivate the people of Germany
when they felt like the weakest country after World War I. Once he got the support of the people, he started convincing people that there

The United States was brought into the war after the attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, which occured because Japan wanted to prove itself equal to
Germany and Italy. Once Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, Japanese Americans were sent to places where they were carfully monitored to prevent any of
them from contacting their relatives in Japan to possibly aid the Japanese. As the continued, an experiment was created in the United States to test how
well African Americans could fly planes. The pilots involved with the experiment were known as the Tuskegee Airmen and they were able to prove
that African Americans could fly planes as well as other people in the Air Force.
A young girl named Anne Frank was a German refugee in the Netherlands who was one of the millions of Jews affected by the Holocaust and World
War II. She went into hiding in the summer of 1942 with her family and the Van Daans in the Secret Annex, located inside her father's workplace, to
prevent going to a camp. Anne recorded events that happend while they were in hiding in her diary along with her personal thoughts and feelings.
After World War II, her diary was published and is now the second most read non
–fiction book in the world. Anne's entries tell us about what life was
like in hiding and the problems they faces while in the Secret Annex. It also showed us that people are willing to try and prevent bad things from
happening to them and their families.

Everyone looks at the Holocaust as just a time in history to be remembered. That was exactly my perspective, until actually looking into this topic. After
reading these many articles, ID cards, and oral histories, my view was instantly switched; almost too much. As most people don't like to think about the
past and bad things that have happened, I think everyone needs to take a few minutes just to understand the holocaust. The people of the Jewish
community during this time had it hard. They were attacked for no reason and were treated like dirt when they are the same as anyone else. Imagine

Life in the ghettos was constantly crowded and was hardly suitable living conditions. The Germans would not let up, they "...deliberately tried to
starve residents by allowing them to purchase only a small amount of bread, potatoes, and fat."(Possible citation) People lacked adequate clothing
and could barely make it through most days. Being locked up in these small areas without proper living spaces, nor conditions really takes a toll on
mindset and sanity. Many ghettos were destroyed during this time reasons know and unknown. At one point, "...the Nazis decide to destroy the Lodz
ghetto. By then, Lodz is the last remaining ghetto in Poland, with a population of about 75,000 Jews." (Citation) Some ghettos attempted to even
revolt against the Germans causing the burning of the Warsaw ghetto of 1943. Nazi concentration camps were so cruel no one can begin to put
themselves in their shoes nor feel empathy for these victims. Jewish civilians were worked to the ground constantly. Prisoners were color coded for
easy identification of their background, for example purple for witnesses and pink for homosexuals. These prisoners were starved and left in the cold

Short Story Of The Holocaust
"They undress you. They give you new clothes. They shave you. They divided you. My parents, my sisters, my brothers – they go to the gas
chambers," he said. Riteman was spared because he was selected for hard labor. But he lost his entire family: his five brothers, two sisters, parents,
grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. This is the true story of The Holocaust was the systematic murder of over 6,000,000 Jews. Adolf Hitler,
Germany's leader at the time, was the reason why all these innocent people were murdered, he and ultimately committed suicide on April 30th, 1945.
However, his evil spirit still lies, with all those people that still live to tell the tale of the atrocities they experienced, beyond words, in his
concentration camps. The way one can speak the unspeakable horrors of their experiences in the Holocaust is through repetition, symbolism, and
imagery. One way someone can speak the unspeakable is through repetition. Document A states, " A truck drew close and unloaded its hold: small
children. Babies! Yes, I did see this, with my own eyes... children thrown into the flames" (Elie). This shows how this event was so scarring to Elie,
that he could not go back to a state of innocence after that incident. Also, the text states, "Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, that
turned my life into one long night 7 times folded" (Elie). The constant repetition of the phrase "Never shall I forget" speaks the unspeakable by

The Holocaust was the murder and persecution of approximately 6 million Jews and many others by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. The
Nazis came to power in Germany in January of 1933. The Nazis thought that the "inferior" Jews were a threat to the "racially superior" German
racial community. The death camps were operated from 1941 to 1945, and many people lost their lives or were forced to work in concentration
camps during these years. The story leading up to the Holocaust, how the terrible event affected people's lives, and how it came to and end are all

While in prison, he wrote "Mein Kamf" (Which means "My Struggle"). "Mein Kamf" was a memoir and propaganda tract in which he predicted "the
extermination of the Jewish Race in Germany" after a general European war. About ten years after he was released from prison, Hitler arose from
obscurity to power after taking advantage of the weaknesses of his enemies. On January 20 of 1933, he was named chancellor of Germany. When
President Paul von Hindenburg died in 1934, Adolf appointed himself as Germany's ruler. At first, the Nazis were only killing political opponents
like Communists and/or Social Democrats, for which their harshest persecution was used. Many of the first prisoners sent to Dachau (The first
official concentration camp opened near Munich in March of 1933) were communists. By July, the concentration camps run by the Germans held
around 27,000 people in what they called "protective custody." The Nazis had huge rallies and acts of symbolism such as burning of books by Jews.
During the years of 1933 to 1939, the hundreds of thousands of Jews who were able to leave Germany got out quickly, but many were left behind, and
they lived their lives in a constant state of uncertainty and fear. During the fall of 1939, Hitler started the so–called Euthanasia Program. The
Euthanasia Program allowed Nazi officials to select around 70,000 German citizens institutionalized for mental illnesses or disabilities. These Germans

A voluntary relief organization was issued. This group collected food, clothing, and other goods to help those persecuted Jews get back on their feet.
They also offered special housing to allow the survivors a place to start again. Along with this relief program, a new legislation was created to return
confiscated Jewish assets to their lawful owners. The German government even began paying the returning victims $1,500 to show their sympathy.
Though these programs helped Jews, Germans needed to develop a new attitude to earn respect from the Jews. To state the government's new
intentions in writing, Article III was created and added to the German constitution, called the Grundgesetz. This addition solemnly proclaimed the
"equality of all men before the law: no one could be discriminated against because of sex, race, nationality, ethnic origins, faith, or political views".
However, most Germans and Jews wanted action, instead of merely a declaration of what should be done. In order to take action towards their goal of
equality, the whole community needed education in "the spirit of human and religious tolerance". 3

For instance, the Jews as well as others had been put into concentration camps. These people include anyone who is disabled in any sense. This is
proving my point because, most people who are disabled were born like that and weren't able to fix the problem ahead of time. In addition to that,
people who were gay or "not straight" were also put into the camps. Much like the disabled, gays were born the way they were and can't help this
fact, so they are being judged harshly by something they can't stop. Finally, the other people, besides Jews, that were put into the concentration
camps were anyone of a different race. Like the other people I have talked about, people of a different culture were born that way and couldn't
control what they were born into. In order to prove all of these reasons, it states, "...the Nuremberg Laws extends the prohibition on marriage or
sexual relations between people who could produce 'racially suspect' offspring. A week later, the minister of the interior interprets this to mean
relations between 'those of German or related blood' and Roma (Gypsies), blacks, or their offspring" (The Nuremberg Race Laws). This quote relates

worked for 11–12 hours a day until nightfall, when they had to go to a second night roll call, where tons of prisoners died of exhaustion or

most staggering; however, other groups such as Gypsies, Poles, Russians, political groups, Jehovah's witnesses, and homosexuals were targeted as well
(Holocaust Encyclopedia: Introduction to the Holocaust). The initial idea of persecuting select groups of people began with Adolf Hitler's rise to power

The Nazis and Hitler used extreme propaganda in attempt for people to accept their actions. Hitler made the Jews out to be a problem and a threat to
the purity and perfection of German society (Holocaust Encyclopdia: Nazi Propaganda ). In Hitler's speech to the Reichstag in September, 1942, he
states,
"In my speech before the Reichstag on the first of September 1939, I spoke of two matters: first, since we are forced into war, neither the threat of
weapons nor a period of transition shall conquer us; second, if world Jewry launches another war in order to destroy the Aryan nations of Europe, it
will not be the Aryan nations that will be destroyed, but the Jews...Once the Germans Jews laughed at my prophecy. I do not know whether they are
still laughing, or whether they are laughing on the other side of their faces. I can simply repeat – they will stop laughing altogether, and I will fulfill
my prophecy in this field too."
This speech fully shows the hatred that Hitler and the Nazi Party had towards the Jews, and how set they were on eliminating the Jews (Jewish Virtual
Library: Hitler's Threats Against the Jews). This hatred and irrational thought of the "threat" Jews posed to the German race led to Hitler's "Final
Solution", which was ultimately to fully eliminate the Jewish race. Hitler used concentrations camps as his mode of carrying out his plan and fulfilling
his prophecy. (Holocaust Encyclopedia: The

these Jews were heartlessly executed. Adding to these victims, Hitler targeted social outcasts such as homosexuals, the disabled, and Gypsies. Poles
and Slavs were targeted for their labor, and Soviets faced death by the millions as prisoners of war. Still more, political and religious leaders were
exterminated because they were seen as threats. The Holocaust was an example of...show more content...
Hitler's next step was to find a scapegoat for Germany's post war decline. Wrongly identifying the Jewish religion as a race, Hitler saw them as
inferior and spread hateful propaganda to pose Jews as a threat to the German "superior race" (Lewmin, A Cup of Tears: A diary of the Warsaw
Ghetto 134). Between the years 1933 and 1935 any clinically diagnosed handicap was involuntarily sterilized by surgery or radiation. Nazis got away
with this because they convinced others that the handicap were burdens to society financially and were overly time consuming. After Nazi finished
sterilizing the handicapped they moved on to Gypsies and people of mixed racial background disabling them from childbirth and marriages with other
Germans.
By the end of 1933, and Hitler's first year in power, Germany was starting to see the first signs of concentration camps. Over thirty thousand Jews were
systematically arrested, round up, and sent to camps as an attempt to segregate them from the rest of the population. If there was an accused
homosexual, the person was subject to trial, and possibly convicted to camps for anti–social activities. Jehovah's Witnesses were targeted because their
religion did not allow them to swear an oath to the estate and therefore, serve in the German military. Further political and religious enemies of Hitler
were executed and arrested as threats to the

Compare And Contrast Essay On The Holocaust

  • 1. Compare And Contrast Essay On The Holocaust Creative Title Once, Elie Wiesel a Holocaust survivor stated, "Never shall I forget the little faces of the children, whose bodies turned into wreaths of smoke beneath a silent blue sky. Elie is explaining how innocent children would be killed just for being Jewish. During the Holocaust, about 6 million Jews were killed. They were first highly discriminated and then that led to the concentration which they were forced to work to the death. During the Holocaust, the discrimination impacted the way people viewed Jews and helped Hitler's ultimate plan. To begin, there were many political laws implemented against Jews. Secondly, Following all of the political laws implemented against the Jews, there were also many social laws that the Jews faced. Lastly, the Nazis separated the Jews from the rest of society by creating ghettos. To begin, there were many political laws implemented against Jews. In the earlier years of World War II, the Nazis declared their goal to segregate Jews from the "Aryan" society. They were planning on taking away the jews political, civil, and legal rights. This quote states, "Government agencies at all levels aimed to exclude Jews from the economic sphere of Germany by preventing them from earning a living."

Secondly, Following all of the political laws implemented against the Jews, there were also many social laws that the Jews faced. Lastly, the Nazis separated the Jews from the rest of society by creating ghettos. The discrimination created much segregation in Germany. Propaganda brainwashed citizens into believing that Jews were the reason for all of their issues, which is obviously the reason the plan was so successful.

  • 2. An Explanation Of The Holocaust What is the Holocaust, you might ask? The Holocaust occurred through January 30, 1933 – May 8, 1945. It was the Nazi's way of demonstrating their power, acting like gods over the people, especially the Jews, based on their racist and anti–Semitic ideology.

  • 3. The Holocaust and Genocide Essay "Why is the killing of 1 million a lesser crime then the killing of one person?" (Scream Bloody Murder). Throughout history groups of people have been killed by ruling powers, but the unlawful acts went without title until recent events in the 1940Кјs. The mass killings in Germany activated against the Jews created a new word, genocide. "Genocide refers to the widespread murder and other acts committed by governments or other groups with the intent to destroy – in whole or in part– a national, racial, religious or ethnic group" (Choices Program 1). This definition was placed by international governments, but the word was developed by a single man in response to the Holocaust. Grappling for a way to express the magnitude of the...show more content... "The worldКјs foremost superpower, America, has almost never acted to stop a race of people from being exterminated, even when confronted with overwhelming evidence" (Rusesabagina 137). ItКјs hard to reach out in so many different areas, but itКјs also hard to see countries allowing genocide to continue when they could help end it. Many lives couldКјve been saved if America had helped to end the Holocaust, but it chose to avoid the involvement. The world closed its eyes, closed its ears, and turned its back on what was happening (Rusesabagina 98). The Holocaust went on for years and people couldКјve chosen to investigate, but instead they left it to its undoing. World War II and the Holocaust was the result of harsh conditions in Germany after the conclusion of World War I. The war "ended in disaster for the German nation...not only the economy, but the spirit of the country was destroyed by the Versailles Treaty of 1919" (Rossel 9). The rules set up for Germany were unfair because fault for war cannot be placed on a single country. More problems arose in the 1930Кјs when the Depression spread. "By 1932 over three million Germans were out of work...More and more the military leaders looked to Hitler for an answer" (Rossel 17). They needed a leader, and HitlerКјs power in Germany was growing by using the peopleКјs pent up anger Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 4. Write An Essay On The Holocaust By Elie Wiesel Trying to help According to Elie Wiesel, an American Jewish writer and holocaust survivor, "It all happened so fast. The ghetto. The deportation. The sealed cattle car. The fiery altar upon which the history of our people and the future of mankind were meant to be sacrificed." Wiesel was describing how the future was questionable, and how they did so much to affect how we live today. In the holocaust, lives of many were put to waste, and innocent people were tortured. Though most non–Jews supported the holocaust, there was a select group of people who worked hard to end it. This group was known as the resistance. During the Holocaust, many groups contributed to the freedom of Jews. First, Jewish partisans fought for freedom of Jews. Secondly,...show more content... To conclude, Jewish partisans, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and non–Jewish people led Jews to exemption. Day after day we are reminded of these terrible times. From political to comedic views, there is no way of forgetting what happened in Germany. It is an amazing feeling to know that there were some individuals who stood against the Nazis, proudly. Without those magnificent people, the war may have never ended, who knows? From young to old, big to small, this event had an impact on everyone's hearts, and it continues to today. Maybe it is a lesson well learned, that making an impact and trying to help does not always turn out so Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 5. Holocaust Research Paper The Holocaust was one of the twentieth century's greatest tragedies that were made possible by anti–Semitism, the indifference of other nations, isolationism politics, and outright fear. Mrs. Arana/ Period 3 Miranda Ruiz 5/16/11 The road to the creation of the Holocaust started with one man. Adolf Hitler. Although thousands of people agreed with anti–Semitism at the time he was the one who started to take his thoughts into actions. After World War 1, German was in great poverty, unemployment and starvation. And the one group of people to blame were the Jewish people. Christians have been angry at the Jewish people ever since they killed Christ, and Adolf Hitler thought of this idea to eliminate the Jewish people once and for all....show more content... And they burned holy books as well as forcing the Jewish people to sit through long sermons promising hell to anyone who died Jewish. But, the difference between the anti–Jewish behavior of the Church and the anti–Semitic behavior of the Nazi's was that the Church wished to destroy Judaism by converting the Jewish people, Hitler wanted to destroy the Jews themselves (45–47). This was the first recorded anti–Jewish behavior. After the murder of Christ, all Christians and Catholics hated the Jewish people. But they had reason and every generation the Churches have decided of way after way of punishing the Jewish people. But Germany has had a long history of anti–Semitism. Consistent with Rossel, Germany has had a past of anti–Semitism, starting in 1542 when the great German Protestant leader Martin Luther wrote a booklet called Against the Jews and Their Lies. Even earlier the Catholic Churches had taught that the Jewish people killed Crist and should therefore be hated (10). Early teachings of anti–Semitism lead to a hating of the Jewish community, but with the German's calling themselves the "Aryan Race" and the Jewish people calling themselves the "chosen one's" there was bound to be competition on who was superior. According to Rossel, the Treaty of Versailles demolished the spirit of Germany, this is because of all countries in Europe, and Germany's had its pride in stability in their military strength. But the new government was weak and Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 6. World War II and The Holocaust Essay You learn about War World II and the Holocaust in history every year, but do you really understand why? We often stop learning about the war after Peral Harbor because that is when the U.S. got involved. But there is more to War World II than just Pearl Harbor. The Holocaust all started with a man named Adolf Hitler. Reserach shows that Adolf had a bad childhood. As most boys he wanted to make his father proud, but when he applied for art school his father was not pleased. Even knowing his father would not approve he applied for art school twice,but was denyed both times before he joined the German Army for War World I.

Even after the war was over camps were still being liberated. When people hear War World II orThe Holocaust they often think about the "Diary of Anne Frank". Anne 's diary was published in 1947 telling the story of her family hiding away in an Sercert Annex from the Nazi party. There were eight people hiding in the annex, her diary shows that they were in hiding for two years. Facts say that on August 4th 1944 Anne and everyone in the annex were sent to their first camp.In total documents show that she went to three camps, two being death camps. Anne Frank did not live to see the liberation of her camp; but her father lived to be 91 years old. Jewish people(Jews) were put through hard times. Documents show that they had separte stores, schools, bathrooms, and restraunt. They had to be in their homes by a certain time each night, stories show that they weren't even allowed to sit on their front pourch. The Star of David was wore on all of their clothes to remind people that they were a jew. They were not allowed to use public transportation or own buisnesses. What the Jews went through is a lot like what blacks went through in the United States. Blacks had separte schools and stores, they weren't allowed to sit on the bus they had to stand. I believe that we study the Holocaust to remember these things. In your history class normally you stop learning about War World II Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 7. The Holocaust was a time when many Jews and other "undesirables" lost their lives because of Hitler and the Nazis. The genocide lasted for twelve years, from 1933 to 1945, and about eleven million lives were lost durring this time. Even though the Holocaust is over, learning about it helps us understand how power can be abused. Adolf Hitler was an Austrian man who became Germany's chancellor in 1933. Before he became chancellor, he worked within the government of Germany and manipulated laws to put him in power and make what he was going to do legal. Hitler was able to motivate the people of Germany when they felt like the weakest country after World War I. Once he got the support of the people, he started convincing people that there ...show more content... The United States was brought into the war after the attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii, which occured because Japan wanted to prove itself equal to Germany and Italy. Once Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, Japanese Americans were sent to places where they were carfully monitored to prevent any of them from contacting their relatives in Japan to possibly aid the Japanese. As the continued, an experiment was created in the United States to test how well African Americans could fly planes. The pilots involved with the experiment were known as the Tuskegee Airmen and they were able to prove that African Americans could fly planes as well as other people in the Air Force. A young girl named Anne Frank was a German refugee in the Netherlands who was one of the millions of Jews affected by the Holocaust and World War II. She went into hiding in the summer of 1942 with her family and the Van Daans in the Secret Annex, located inside her father's workplace, to prevent going to a camp. Anne recorded events that happend while they were in hiding in her diary along with her personal thoughts and feelings. After World War II, her diary was published and is now the second most read non –fiction book in the world. Anne's entries tell us about what life was like in hiding and the problems they faces while in the Secret Annex. It also showed us that people are willing to try and prevent bad things from happening to them and their families. Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 8. How To Write An Essay About The Holocaust The Holocaust Everyone looks at the Holocaust as just a time in history to be remembered. That was exactly my perspective, until actually looking into this topic. After reading these many articles, ID cards, and oral histories, my view was instantly switched; almost too much. As most people don't like to think about the past and bad things that have happened, I think everyone needs to take a few minutes just to understand the holocaust. The people of the Jewish community during this time had it hard. They were attacked for no reason and were treated like dirt when they are the same as anyone else. Imagine being abused just for your ethnicity, or anything else you don't have control over.Nazi Germany, under the rule of Hitler was putting a...show more content... Life in the ghettos was constantly crowded and was hardly suitable living conditions. The Germans would not let up, they "...deliberately tried to starve residents by allowing them to purchase only a small amount of bread, potatoes, and fat."(Possible citation) People lacked adequate clothing and could barely make it through most days. Being locked up in these small areas without proper living spaces, nor conditions really takes a toll on mindset and sanity. Many ghettos were destroyed during this time reasons know and unknown. At one point, "...the Nazis decide to destroy the Lodz ghetto. By then, Lodz is the last remaining ghetto in Poland, with a population of about 75,000 Jews." (Citation) Some ghettos attempted to even revolt against the Germans causing the burning of the Warsaw ghetto of 1943. Nazi concentration camps were so cruel no one can begin to put themselves in their shoes nor feel empathy for these victims. Jewish civilians were worked to the ground constantly. Prisoners were color coded for easy identification of their background, for example purple for witnesses and pink for homosexuals. These prisoners were starved and left in the cold to die. German officers did not care enough to give proper care to sick Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 9. Short Story Of The Holocaust "They undress you. They give you new clothes. They shave you. They divided you. My parents, my sisters, my brothers – they go to the gas chambers," he said. Riteman was spared because he was selected for hard labor. But he lost his entire family: his five brothers, two sisters, parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. This is the true story of The Holocaust was the systematic murder of over 6,000,000 Jews. Adolf Hitler, Germany's leader at the time, was the reason why all these innocent people were murdered, he and ultimately committed suicide on April 30th, 1945. However, his evil spirit still lies, with all those people that still live to tell the tale of the atrocities they experienced, beyond words, in his concentration camps. The way one can speak the unspeakable horrors of their experiences in the Holocaust is through repetition, symbolism, and imagery. One way someone can speak the unspeakable is through repetition. Document A states, " A truck drew close and unloaded its hold: small children. Babies! Yes, I did see this, with my own eyes... children thrown into the flames" (Elie). This shows how this event was so scarring to Elie, that he could not go back to a state of innocence after that incident. Also, the text states, "Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, that turned my life into one long night 7 times folded" (Elie). The constant repetition of the phrase "Never shall I forget" speaks the unspeakable by emphasizing the fact that Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 10. Essay about The Holocaust The Holocaust was the murder and persecution of approximately 6 million Jews and many others by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. The Nazis came to power in Germany in January of 1933. The Nazis thought that the "inferior" Jews were a threat to the "racially superior" German racial community. The death camps were operated from 1941 to 1945, and many people lost their lives or were forced to work in concentration camps during these years. The story leading up to the Holocaust, how the terrible event affected people's lives, and how it came to and end are all topics that make this historic event worth learning about. Hatred towards the Jews didn't start with the Holocaust. There is evidence that hostility towards the Jews as far back...show more content... While in prison, he wrote "Mein Kamf" (Which means "My Struggle"). "Mein Kamf" was a memoir and propaganda tract in which he predicted "the extermination of the Jewish Race in Germany" after a general European war. About ten years after he was released from prison, Hitler arose from obscurity to power after taking advantage of the weaknesses of his enemies. On January 20 of 1933, he was named chancellor of Germany. When President Paul von Hindenburg died in 1934, Adolf appointed himself as Germany's ruler. At first, the Nazis were only killing political opponents like Communists and/or Social Democrats, for which their harshest persecution was used. Many of the first prisoners sent to Dachau (The first official concentration camp opened near Munich in March of 1933) were communists. By July, the concentration camps run by the Germans held around 27,000 people in what they called "protective custody." The Nazis had huge rallies and acts of symbolism such as burning of books by Jews. During the years of 1933 to 1939, the hundreds of thousands of Jews who were able to leave Germany got out quickly, but many were left behind, and they lived their lives in a constant state of uncertainty and fear. During the fall of 1939, Hitler started the so–called Euthanasia Program. The Euthanasia Program allowed Nazi officials to select around 70,000 German citizens institutionalized for mental illnesses or disabilities. These Germans were to be gassed to death.

  • 11. Write An Essay On The Holocaust The holocaust was a very appalling time for jews.The holocaust was the cost of 6 millions lives. The jews were persecuted and murdered just because what they stood for. In 1940, Jews were being deported to Portland by the Nazis. Also, the jews were forced into ghettos. This was a major step into the process of separating and persecuting jews. Ghettos were to segregate jews from mixing with the super aryan race. Life for the jews was very hard in the ghettos. The houses were cramped, contagious diseases spread rapidly, and there was no food to eat. The ghettos were used for transition points for when the jews were being deported to concentration camps.

The Nazi used a term called the "Master Race" or the Aryan Race. It was basically a racial term describing an idea of a pure race. The Nazis believed in a concept that Aryans had the most pure blood on the earth. When Hitler mentioned the master race, he was referring to a superior race.

The survivors of the holocaust were deeply effected by the trauma they encountered. This unforgettable experience influenced their lives, those around them, and even their descendants. When the infamous Hitler began his reign in Germany in 1933, 530,000 Jews were settled in his land. In a matter of years the amount of Jews greatly decreased. After World War II, only 15,000 Jews remained. This small population of Jews was a result of inhumane killings and also the fleeing of ...show more content... A voluntary relief organization was issued. This group collected food, clothing, and other goods to help those persecuted Jews get back on their feet. They also offered special housing to allow the survivors a place to start again. Along with this relief program, a new legislation was created to return confiscated Jewish assets to their lawful owners. The German government even began paying the returning victims $1,500 to show their sympathy. Though these programs helped Jews, Germans needed to develop a new attitude to earn respect from the Jews. To state the government's new intentions in writing, Article III was created and added to the German constitution, called the Grundgesetz. This addition solemnly proclaimed the "equality of all men before the law: no one could be discriminated against because of sex, race, nationality, ethnic origins, faith, or political views". However, most Germans and Jews wanted action, instead of merely a declaration of what should be done. In order to take action towards their goal of equality, the whole community needed education in "the spirit of human and religious tolerance". 3 The holocaust greatly effected the population of the Jews and their families. The Jew mortality rate after the second World War was two times that of the general German population. This was due to health problems provoked during the holocaust and the persecution on their will to Get more content on HelpWriting.net

Although, without it I wouldn't have been able to learn the following lessons. To begin, because of the beliefs of one man, it has affected a lot of history. For example, Hitler had believed that the cause of all evil was due to theJews . To support this, Hitler had made many laws and even made sure that the Jews didn't get the right to own anything no matter what it was. Furthermore, Hitler also believed that the best look for anyone to have would be blue eyes and blond hair. This relates to the topic because, Hitler preferred if every single person had that type of look so they met his standards. In addition, Hitler had killed...show more content... For instance, the Jews as well as others had been put into concentration camps. These people include anyone who is disabled in any sense. This is proving my point because, most people who are disabled were born like that and weren't able to fix the problem ahead of time. In addition to that, people who were gay or "not straight" were also put into the camps. Much like the disabled, gays were born the way they were and can't help this fact, so they are being judged harshly by something they can't stop. Finally, the other people, besides Jews, that were put into the concentration camps were anyone of a different race. Like the other people I have talked about, people of a different culture were born that way and couldn't control what they were born into. In order to prove all of these reasons, it states, "...the Nuremberg Laws extends the prohibition on marriage or sexual relations between people who could produce 'racially suspect' offspring. A week later, the minister of the interior interprets this to mean relations between 'those of German or related blood' and Roma (Gypsies), blacks, or their offspring" (The Nuremberg Race Laws). This quote relates back to the topic because, the Nuremberg Laws had caused people to constantly judge anyone who was slightly different from the way they were born.

  • 15. Write An Essay On The Holocaust The Nazis' invasion of Europe (The Holocaust) is well known by all as a huge part of World War II. Perhaps the most notorious part of this was the Extermination (concentration) camps. These camps were the Nazis' main way of exterminating all of the Jews, whom they considered a"lesser" race than they. Through various torture devices, the Germans killed approximately 6 million Jews, and approximately 5 million people of other races. The Holocaust will always be marked in our history as a traumatic and terrible event, which we will always regret. The second World War began in 1939 as a result of a new Chancellor ofGermany coming to power. This Chancellor,Adolf Hitler, along with his organization, the Nazis, began a mass genocide of the Jews, spreading across Europe as the Germans conquered more of the continent.

Each day the morning began with a roll call, where the prisoners stood freezing for hours with nothing to cover themselves but rags, until all prisoners were accounted for, dead or alive. The prisoners lived in atrocious conditions, crammed together in a small space with straw beds or cramped brick or wood barracks. They had inadequate and unsanitary latrines and their "space" was often infested with fleas, some carrying disease, which killed many. The prisoners also had very little food to live off of. They were given 3 meals a day, usually tasteless coffee, soup, or bread. The prisoners worked for 11–12 hours a day until nightfall, when they had to go to a second night roll call, where tons of prisoners died of exhaustion or starvation. Perhaps the largest cause of death was the gas chambers. The guards would take hundreds of people per day to a chamber and expose the prisoners to large amounts of gases, usually either hydrogen cyanide, carbon dioxide, or carbon monoxide. It is estimated that between 1,000–5,000 people died per day on average in a concentration Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 16. The Holocaust and Nazi Germany Essay The Holocaust is most well–known for the organized and inhumane extermination of more than six million Jews. The death total of the Jews is this most staggering; however, other groups such as Gypsies, Poles, Russians, political groups, Jehovah's witnesses, and homosexuals were targeted as well (Holocaust Encyclopedia: Introduction to the Holocaust). The initial idea of persecuting select groups of people began with Adolf Hitler's rise to power in Germany. In January 1930, Hitler became the Chancellor of Germany after winning over its people with powerful and moving speeches. From this point forward, it was a goal for both Hitler and his Nazi Party to rid the world of deemed "inferior" groups of people (Holocaust Encyclopedia: Timeline...show more content... The Nazis and Hitler used extreme propaganda in attempt for people to accept their actions. Hitler made the Jews out to be a problem and a threat to the purity and perfection of German society (Holocaust Encyclopdia: Nazi Propaganda ). In Hitler's speech to the Reichstag in September, 1942, he states, "In my speech before the Reichstag on the first of September 1939, I spoke of two matters: first, since we are forced into war, neither the threat of weapons nor a period of transition shall conquer us; second, if world Jewry launches another war in order to destroy the Aryan nations of Europe, it will not be the Aryan nations that will be destroyed, but the Jews...Once the Germans Jews laughed at my prophecy. I do not know whether they are still laughing, or whether they are laughing on the other side of their faces. I can simply repeat – they will stop laughing altogether, and I will fulfill my prophecy in this field too." This speech fully shows the hatred that Hitler and the Nazi Party had towards the Jews, and how set they were on eliminating the Jews (Jewish Virtual Library: Hitler's Threats Against the Jews). This hatred and irrational thought of the "threat" Jews posed to the German race led to Hitler's "Final Solution", which was ultimately to fully eliminate the Jewish race.

  • 17. How To Write An Essay About The Holocaust The holocaust was one of the most tragic genocides in world history. Tons of Jews each day were being purged off because of the hate of the Nazi germans. Adolf Hitler was the leading man in this extermination of the Jewish community. During these times Jewish man, women and, children had to try their hardest to survive in the concentration camps. Camps like Buchenwald, Neuengamme and, Bergen–Belsen are the camps that were Jewish people put in forced labor, starved and, tortured. Camps such as Auschwitz and Belzec are where the mass killing happens. Leaving a life in the ghettos and camps was not easy at all. Not all jews were killed by the gas chambers. Many Jews died from poor living conditions such as starvation and disease. In the book of Night, I was able to read about the life of Elie Wiesel and the things he went through while living in Auschwitz and Buchenwald camp. In the book, a lot of things were proven like for example every man for themselves while trying to survive these brutal times. In the text, I've learned that even the smallest things such as food can end many relationships. For example in chapter 7 one man killed his own family for a piece of bread.

In about a year and a half later, Hitler managed to establish a one–party dictatorship. He called for new elections. Then in March 1933, Hitler passes the Enabling Act, which basically puts Hitler in total power. Under this act the cabinet can make laws; anything can be decreed as long as it doesn't interfere with the Reichstag, and the laws were prepared by Hitler.

In 1933 the twenty one countries that Germany would come to occupy as a result of the war, were occupied by nine million Jews. By 1945 two out of three of these Jews were heartlessly executed. Adding to these victims, Hitler targeted social outcasts such as homosexuals, the disabled, and Gypsies.

Hitler's next step was to find a scapegoat for Germany's post war decline. Wrongly identifying the Jewish religion as a race, Hitler saw them as inferior and spread hateful propaganda to pose Jews as a threat to the German "superior race" (Lewmin, A Cup of Tears: A diary of the Warsaw Ghetto 134). Between the years 1933 and 1935 any clinically diagnosed handicap was involuntarily sterilized by surgery or radiation. Nazis got away with this because they convinced others that the handicap were burdens to society financially and were overly time consuming. After Nazi finished sterilizing the handicapped they moved on to Gypsies and people of mixed racial background disabling them from childbirth and marriages with other Germans. By the end of 1933, and Hitler's first year in power, Germany was starting to see the first signs of concentration camps. Over thirty thousand Jews were systematically arrested, round up, and sent to camps as an attempt to segregate them from the rest of the population. If there was an accused homosexual, the person was subject to trial, and possibly convicted to camps for anti–social activities. Jehovah's Witnesses were targeted because their religion did not allow them to swear an oath to the estate and therefore, serve in the German military. Further political and religious enemies of Hitler were executed and arrested as threats to the Get more content on HelpWriting.net
