The Causes Of The Holocaust And The Holocaust
The Holocaust was one of the most tragic events that happened during World War II between 1939 until 1945. World War II involved the vast
majority of the world's countries, one of them being Germany, who played a big part in the Holocaust. Germany became involved because of Adolf
Hitler, the chancellor, wanted revenge for the troubleGermany had in World War I. During World War II, Hitler exploited anti
–semitic feelings towards
Jewish people because he believed they were the reason Germany had to surrender in World War I. Those feelings were whythe Holocaust happened.
The Holocaust was the persecution of nearly 6 million Jewish people, also known as Jews. Not only were Jews being persecuted, but many other
ethnic, secular, and religious groups also, such as " Poles, Czechs, Greeks, Gypsies, Serbs, Ukrainians, and Russians, as well as homosexuals, mentally
and physically handicapped persons, trade unionists, prisoners of war, Jehovah's Witnesses, and uncounted others" (U–S–History). All targeted because
of their "racial inferiority". The Holocaust was a devastating event that lasted several years and impacted many lives by tearing people from their
homes, killing them, torturing them, forcing them into concentration camps, and by the end, affecting the Jewish population and the rest of the world,
but if Hitler didn't do what he did and the Holocaust didn't happen, the world would be at a completelytotally different place.
During the Holocaust, Hitler and German Nazis mainly targeted Jewish people. Adolf Hitler was very adamant that Jews were the main cause of
Germany losing World War I and he believed that they were the cause of Germany's economic suffering, since Germany had to pay a huge amount
of money for the damage that was created in World War I. Hitler also presumed that they were a morally and culturally corrupting influence and
strongly believed that Jews were an alien threat to German racial purity. First of all, being an alien threat to racial purity was very unlucky for the
Jews because they weren't anything like what Hitler had pictured in his "perfect" world. Earlier on in Hitler's life, in 1923, he was imprisoned for
treason. While he was in prison, he wrote a memoir called, "Mein Kampf" (My

Holocaust Survivors Of The Holocaust
According to the texts and eyewitness accounts, the Holocaust had horrendous effects on the people who lived through it. During this time Jews were
being rounded up and put into concentration camps by order of the German government. Writings and testimonies from survivors of the Holocaust are
around even to this day. According to these sources, Holocaust survivors suffered tremendously since they were treated as less than human , they lost
loved ones, and were constantly abused. During the Holocaust, people in the Nazi's custody were treated as less than human. According to "Jakob's
Story", the Nazi's gave their prisoners little food and only one meal a day. Jakob writes "we ate one meal a day and it consisted of soup with potato
peels; scraps of food from the SS" (Blankitny, paragraph 17). Here one can see that the Nazi's looked down upon their prisoners and treated them as

According to "I'm Telling the Story" by Magdalena Klein, the prisoners were not given proper clothing. She writes "In rags, soiled, infested with
lice" (Klein, stanza 2) and "Unclad frail feet were trudging in the snow" (Klein, stanza 4). The Nazi's not only neglect to give the prisoners proper
clothing, they also force them to walk barefoot through the snow! This problem is still present in the world today, not with the Nazis, but tyrannical
governments still do this. In short, Nazi prisoners were not treated with the respect that is due to every human being, and suffered greatly because of
it. In conclusion, the Holocaust had detrimental effects on all that survived. This was because prisoners were treated as less than human and not given
enough food. They also lost many of their loved ones, many of whom were executed. And to top it all off, they were abused by their captors on a
regular basis. With these things happening, it's no surprise that survivors of the Holocaust suffered terrible

The Holocaust The Holocaust took place from January 1933 to 1957 ("Introduction to the Holocaust" par.14). This event happened in Western Europe,
in countries like Poland and Germany ("Introduction to the Holocaust" par. 5). People involved in the Holocaust were Adolf Hitler, the chancellor of
Germany and the leader of the Nazi party; and over six million people who were sent to concentration camps and ghettos ("Holocaust" par. 7). The
Holocaust was the persecution of 6 million Jews and millions of others forced to live in ghettos, deported to camps, and systematically annihilated until
the Allied forces liberated the remaining survivors.
During the Holocaust, the Nazi party were devising plans to control Jews, and came up with the Ghettos. In the year of 1942, after Germany invaded
Poland, people of the Jewish lineage or community were herded into the Ghettos ("Ghettos in Poland" par.5). The Ghettos were miniature cities that
confined Jews until they were executed, however many died before than due to typhus and other diseases because of an unsanitary environment

gas chambers for mass extermination ("Holocaust" par.8). "When people reached the concentration camps, they would be quickly divided into groups

Introduction
In the summer of 1944 the soviets freed the Jewish from the concentration camps like Belzec, Treblinka and the most infamous killing camp Auschwitz.
In an examination of the holocaust I will converse the effects of the holocaust and their worlds response, to its victims and perpetrators. The aftermath of
the holocaust shows the mass Genocide people found, as Germany cures itself it showed civilization that we should not let someone manipulate us,
and let them change our ideals and beliefs. I will tackle some questions like what assistance the Jews received. I will discuss two survivor's
adjustment to freedom, why it took so long to take action to free prisoners, and the consequences and famous trials. A similar problem today is alive
and thriving and it is racism, and it usually comes from hatred to one race or religion, but it can be stopped by creating a loving community, where
everyone has respect. I will guide you through the Aftermath of the Holocaust, the end of suffering for 11 million people.

The Holocaust And The Survivors Of The Holocaust
Even five years after the Holocaust, there were still survivors with nowhere to go.19 Few survivors attempted to return home, and most of those who
did stayed only a short time. They learned it was nearly impossible for them to be in places so closely linked to their childhoods.20
Everything in their cities, towns and villages would remind them of years of humiliation of unthinkable atrocities, of tragedy and irreparable loss.21
Those few survivors that did decide to return to their home towns did not have it easy. Many survivors lost almost everything; not just their families
and friends, but also their properties, businesses and belongings. Some survivors returning to their homes found them to have new tenants in them
refusing to move. Others found out that their belongings like valuables or household items had been sold to fund the October 1943 rescue. By
September 1945, 1,300 survivors of the Holocaust still had no permanent homes.22 Many returning survivors faced taunts and threats from people in
their villages.23
There were also the physical aspects of attempting to return home. One Polish Jew named Dora Rytman had survived the Holocaust and wanted to
go home. It was very difficult for anyone to return home because a lot of the tracks and roads were in pieces because of previous bombings. Because
of this, Dora had to take many different trains to try to get home. It was very difficult to reach her home town because it was snowing, and not many

The Holocaust : Causes Of The Holocaust
What causes conflict? Well, conflict is caused when there is a disagreement or miscommunication. The Holocaust was a huge and bloody disagreement
that led to World War II and was a horrific event that took place in the 1930
–1940's. A man that we've probably all heard of, named Adolf Hitler, came
into power and participated in the slaughter of nearly 6 million jews, 250,000 disabled, and 196,000–220,000 Gypsies (according to the National
Holocaust Memorial Museum website). These deaths were all over the European continent that were under German rule. My position on the main
cause for the Holocaust was that the end of World War I leftGermany in poverty. With the government in corruption, the people were desperate for
change, so they allowed Hitler into power with the belief that others could control him if he did something bad. This obviously wasn't true. After
WWI, Germany fell into poverty. Everyday, lines of people were seen in the streets waiting to purchase bread. People were poor and desperate.
Hitler saw this and used it. He gave people hope and the economy improved and he was announced chancellor of Germany in 1933. Government
suspected he was unstable, but were convinced they could control him if necessary. Hitler secretly made a new police called the Nazis who were
Hitler's supporters and enforced the law at Hitler's command. Quickly and unknowingly, the government was no longer in control of Hitler. Hitler
had full power of Germany. With the power in Hitler's reach and the belief that only the healthy German's were superior to all, Hitler began the
Holocaust. He did hate Jewish people the most and deemed them unworthy to live with the Germans, but he also murdered many disabled and
Gypsies. First, Hitler tried to get Jews to immigrate. Some did, to other parts of Europe, but when the Nazis took over they were simply shipped
away anyway. In addition, the Germans spread rumors of the Jews to try to stop their businesses, and even children were raised to believe that the
Jews were bad. One story even said that the Jews tortured German children and laughed when they died to make Jews seem like the worst people in
the world. Later they had yellow or white stars, also known as the David Star, painted

The Holocaust And The Holocaust
The inherent result of a massive event in human history is that those involved have many stories, lessons, and testimonials to pass on to others.
The Holocaust, perhaps, has one of the biggest collection of testimonials and facts given via the word of mouth or writings out of any singular
event. Survivors from all over Europe have given their thoughts for decades now, and there's no shortage of places to find them. One interesting
testimonial comes from Renate Vambery in 1996, over 50 years since the end of World War II. She was born in Germany in 1916 to her father, a
lawyer and officer in the German armed forces during World War I, and her mother, a homemaker and designer. During her growing years, the Nazis
became rising to power. Even before Hitler took control of Germany, her school teachers were professing the rhetoric of the Nazi Party. Renate, who
was Jewish, once painted Jesus on the cross for an art project, which angered her teacher so much that he screamed and threw art supplies across the
room. Later, her mother lost her voting rights. Despite all this, Renate was still not fully aware about the implications of the changing tide in Germany,
saying "I didn't know I was going to lose all my non–Jewish friends until it actually happened." This was also reinforced in her reflections during the
interview, where she said that she–and many others–were unaware about the extent of concentration camps. All of her friends became Nazis by the

Our live stock. How are they treated? They are labeled to be tracked of. They are fed only what they need to survive. While they wait to be
slaughtered, we put them to work. There is no compensation for these creatures, what else are they meant for? When a problem arises with one of
them, it causes a disruption, an inconvenience. If progress is postponed, and it is too much work to be kept alive, we end its life without a second
thought. We cram all of them together into wherever they can fit, with no concern for comfort. We refer to them as, well, them. They have no
identities, no individuality. They are nothing more than objects we must keep alive with the bare minimum being provided. This is not a PETA ad or

victims of the malicious, dictatorship of Hitler. He manipulated people to obey him like a god, convincing them to follow his word as if it were
religion. One of his most horrendous conquers was demoting an entire race to the level of nothingness. The first initial step to this was
differentiating the Jews from everyone else. " 'The yellow star? Oh well, what of it? You don't die of it...' (Poor Father! Of what then did you die?)"

The Holocaust. This word brings terror and sadness to me whenever heard. Why had they even believed that conflict would solve world problems?
Did they think they were better than everyone else? Are they just mentally ill, but at the same time, powerful? All these questions have answers, but
these words won't bring back the lives lost, the sadness taken in by people's souls, or even the damage it has done to some people and not only
physical. When tend to think of only the soldiers on remembrance day, but what about all the people that suffered all the difficult and horrible years
with extremely little food and no health care. Very little survived these harsh and cruel situations, but even the ones with enough luck to live, now have
cautious lives and the majority have severe trust issues. Is ruining individual's lives something necessary to lead to the happiness of others? Death is

If a death is preventable and one fails to prevent its occurrence, is he at fault? During and after the Holocaust, citizens of the United States pondered this
question in the context of Jewish refugees murdered in Nazi Germany; ultimately, citizens remember this tragic genocide and promise it will not
happen again under any circumstances, not only in America, but in other nations as well. Since the Holocaust, leaders and lawmakers in the United
States have analyzed the causes that led to this event and designed laws and documents to prevent such an infraction of human rights from happening
again. The long–lasting effects of the Holocaust, which expose the dangers of America's isolation and conservative immigration policies, contribute to
the liberalization of American immigration and increased worldwide instances of United States humanitarian intervention. From the time of the
Articles of Confederation to the time of World War One, the United States remained predominantly isolated from nations outside of North America,
notably in Asia and Europe. This practice of isolation later correlated with discriminatory immigration policies. For instance, the Johnson–Reed
Immigration Act of 1924 placed a quota on immigrants from the Eastern hemisphere based on their country of origin (Immigration Act). This directly
affected the safety of Jewish Europeans during the Holocaust, as United States immigration policies, which generated long waiting periods, restricted

Holocaust : The Holocaust
The Holocaust, one of humanities most horrendous acts and a large topic in the history of World War II. Led by the German National Socialists, the
Holocaust was an attack on innocent people for reasons of race, sexuality, nationality, and religion with their main target being the millions of European
Jews who they saw as an 'inferior race'. Hitler and his higher up stripped Jews of everything. He took their money, their homes, their jobs, their
nationality, their dignity, and eventually he took their lives. In Peter Longerich's Holocaust: The Nazi Persecution and Murder of the Jews, Longerich
takes an in depth look at Nazi politics and how it eventually led to their Final Solution of the Jewish Question. His research that began in the late 1990s,
when he questioned both schools of Holocaust studies, the Intentionalists and the Structuralists. His studies in Europe led to a novel that that outlines
the entire history of the Holocaust, the ideas of Judenfrage, and the implementation of Judenpolitik on the Jews of Europe from 1933 to 1945.
Throughout the research and writing of Holocaust: The Nazi Persecution and Murder of the Jews, Longerich's purpose for the book changed, "The
original aim of this book was to make a contribution to the lively debate amongst Holocaust researchers about when the Nazi leadership took the

Horror struck on January 30, 1933, when Germany assigned Adolf Hitler as their chancellor. Once Hitler had finally reached power he set out to
complete one goal, create a Greater Germany free from the Jews ("The reasons for the Holocaust," 2009). This tragedy is known today as, "The
Holocaust," that explains the terrors of our histories past. The face of the Holocaust, master of death, and leader of Germany; Adolf Hitler the most
deceitful, powerful, well spoken, and intelligent person that acted as the key to this mass murder. According to a research study at the University of
South Florida, nearly eleven million people were targeted and killed. This disaster is a genocide that was meant to ethnically cleanse Germany of the
Jews. Although Jewish people were the main target they were not the only ones targeted; gypsies, African Americans, homosexuals, socialists, political
enemies, communists, and the mentally disabled were killed (Simpson, 2012, p. 113). The word to describe this hatred for Jewish people is known as
antisemitism. It was brought about when German philosophers denounced that "Jewish spirit is alien to Germandom" ("Antisemitism") which states
that a Jew is non–German. Many people notice the horrible things the Germans did, but most don't truly understand why the Holocaust occurred. To

Treblinka, 1941 – one of the events in history during the Holocaust that will never be forgotten by the Jews. It is one of those moments where Jews
come together in the hardest of times to create, in a sense, peace amongst themselves. Not only did the Holocaust affect the Jews physically and
mentally at the time, but it also greatly impacted their lives after the horror. Some victims of the Holocaust, the worst atrocity committed in
humankind's history, find it extremely difficult to open up and talk about their past because they don't want to remember any part of it. However, most
survivors choose to share their stories with the younger generation in order to pass them onto future ones. Despite the torture and cruelty that the
survivors endured by the Nazis, they were able to maintain a positive outlook on life. Isaac Blum, a Holocaust survivor, was born in 1922 in Buenos

The Holocaust : The Perpetration Of The Holocaust
Over six million Jews were exterminated in the Holocaust. It is the largest genocide in history. How was such an industrial scale of murder
accomplished? People have grappled with this question since the fall of the Nazi regime. When analyzing the Holocaust, one must consider if it was
executed by the Nazi regime as a whole, or if individuals actively and freely engaged in it. Anti–Semitism was a popular sentiment that had been
growing in Europe since before the rise of the Nazi regime. But individual willingness to participate could not be the main driver for murdering six
million people. The Nazi regime collectively must be responsible for shaping the Holocaust. The Nazi Doctors by Robert Lifton, The Drowned and the
Saved by Primo Levi, and the "Testimonies of SS Men" provided for class help answer that aforementioned question. While some individuals actively
and willingly participated, it was the Nazi regime as a whole that shaped the perpetration of the Holocaust. While anti–Semitism was pervasive
throughout Europe, it was the Nazi regime that perpetrated the Holocaust and conditioned individuals to commit atrocities. Without such conditioning,
individuals would not have tortured and murdered six million people. Consider the violence before the killing: the round ups, beatings, starvation,
debilitating physical labor, medical experiments, imprisonment, and much more. All this was done "to condition those who were to be the material

The Holocaust And The Treatments Of The Holocaust
Imagine being in a place with horror, abandonment, torture, suffering, famine, and misery; in a place of death, abuse, a hopeless state of mind; dying is
better than going through something like this. This is the exact portrayal of what the victims of the Holocaust have gone through. The Holocaust was
the mass slaughter of (mostly) Jews prior to World War II. They put them into concentration camps and more than six million Jews were killed. The
Nazi Party were heartless, immoral, and inhumane people who treated the Jews like animals. They thought that the Jews were the reason for the
failing economy of Germany. The Nazi party believed they were doing the right thing to annihilate the race of Jews, but no one ever has an excuse to
torture people who have done nothing wrong; Jews were experimented on, enslaved, brutalized, and killed; no one should ever go through something
like the Jews have during the Holocaust.
The Nazis performed sadistic experiments on victims during the holocaust without their consent for the Nazi party advantages. Some victims were
froze and heated to death with hypothermia and sunlamp experiments. Two main ways they used to freeze the victim were to "put the person in a icy
vat of water or to put the victim outside naked in sub–zero temperatures." (Medical Experiments of the Holocaust and Nazi Medicine, n.d.) To heat
victims, they would put them under sunlamps and waited until their skin was burned. One victim was "repeatedly cooled to unconsciousness

period. I wanted to learn more about my history and what it was like to be a Jew back in the 1930–1940's. It is hard to imagine the hatred some people
had for Jews and how awful they treated them. Learning about the Holocaust made me thankful for what I have because millions of survivors were
scarred for the rest of their lives and experiencing the pain and torture European Jews underwent is unimaginable. Living in America, I wanted to
know if we had helped. I wanted to know if our country cared about what was happening in Germany and if they put in a lot of effort to stop Hitler
from his horrible actions.

Holocaust And The Holocaust
The Holocaust was a horrendous period of time that will never be forgotten. The tragedy took place in Europe during World War II, though continues
to be commemorated today. Textbooks, novels, and other media shed light on the Holocaust everyday to honor the six million lives that were lost.
Under the order of Adolf Hitler, Jews were persecuted and murdered for their beliefs. People were pulled from their homes and moved into
concentration camps, where they suffered to the point of death. Few managed to survive the nightmare and live to tell their story. Written works like
Night by Elie Wiesel, The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank, and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne describe the reality faced by
Jews that some refuse to believe occurred. These famous publications have enlightened readers all over the world about the Holocaust and what its
name entails. At the very beginning of Night, Elie Wiesel describes a significant figure in his life named Moishe the Beadle. The character is
portrayed as a religious man full of optimism who knew how to lift the spirits in everyone he knew. Moishe witnesses Jews being killed by the
Gestapo, which leaves permanent damage on his pure heart. The author then goes on to state on page seven, "Moishe was not the same. The joy in
his eyes was gone." Moishe only wished to warn other Jews of their fate, yet no one bothered to listen. I was moved by this passage since it
foreshadowed the narrator's life in later chapters and

The Holocaust And The Holocaust
Crimes against humanity are a concerns everyone. Even if they are not happening directly in your own country, they affect you because you have the
power to stop and help them through their crisis. Nations should act on their own accord with regarding crimes against humanity taking place. If other
countries take too long debating on what they should intervene regarding the crime against humanity, many more lives are lost and rights are violated.
This is extremely apparent in the Holocaust, the genocide in Darfur and the genocide in Rwanda. The Holocaust was a period that started around 1933
and went until 1944. The Holocaust happened when Adolf Hitler rose to power and spread his ultra–nationalistic ideas in Germany. Hitler had many
extreme views on how Germany should be like. For example, he blamed all the Jews for all of Germany's problems. Hitler believed in a Master
Race, which excluded the Jews, Gypsies, Homophobes, Disabled, and Mentally disabled people. In order to achieve this master race, everyone who
was not a German and caucasian were to be murdered. Concentration camps were set up for mostly the Jews but also the other people who did not fit
into Hitler's master race plans. At these camps, families were split up, people were starved to death, worked to death, gassed, dug their own graves and
then shot, harvested and went through sickening medical trials.The germans played mind tricks on the concentration camp residents; they would take

Germany. The Holocaust started in 1993 Nazi Occupied Germany to 1945 Germany. The Holocaust took place during the years 1933–1945 during that

The Holocaust And The Holocaust Survivors
The Holocaust was a genocide during World War II that caused millions of people to die. The Holocaust was the event where Nazi Germany killed
millions of people that they did not seem to be a part of the Nazi's Master Race. Adolf Hitler was the leader of Germany at the time and was a major
supporter of their attempt at creating the Master Race and eliminating those whom he did not see being a part of his Master Race. Adolf Hitler and
Germany caused one of the largest death tolls and most well known genocide in history, which is known now as the holocaust. My reaction to the
"Second Generation to Holocaust Survivors: Enhanced Differentiation of Trauma Transmission." written by, Micha Weiss and Sima Weiss is that
those poor, innocent people were killed or scarred for life for something they cannot control. I feel awful for all those kids and young people who
had to live the rest of their lives out after experiencing their parents be killed or starved to death and seeing all those other people around them
being killed. I also feel angry that Germany let this happen, and not only let this happen, but supported Hitler's decision to kill off millions of people
and treated them so unfairly. "Gail told of the death of her father after she was two, and thereafter moving between foster homes, due to her mother's
inability to provide for her." (Micha Weiss and Sima Weiss) I could not imagine how hard it would be to grow up being passed around by foster homes

The Holocaust: The Survivors Of The Holocaust
The Holocaust began on January 30, 1933, when Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany, to May 8, 1945, when the war in Europe officially was
over. About six million Jewish civilians perished because of it. There were some people that survived. What impact did the Holocaust have on its
survivors? When the Holocaust ended, all survivors suffered from different emotions because they survived the tragedy. The survivors lost loved ones,
and they had to keep that memory of the event with them for the rest of their lives. As a result of these emotions, they coped in many negative ways.
Survivors of the Holocaust experienced guilt, isolated themselves, and suffered from a mental illness. After the Holocaust, many survivors experienced

Sheva Tauby of Crown Heights told reporters, "May of them live alone and don't have any family to visit them" (Yellin 2014). They do not have
any family to visit them because most of their families died in the Holocaust. This makes them feel alone and makes their old age miserable. The
reporters from Jewish Senior Life explained, "Many are now widows and widowers; they feel isolated, depressed, alone, and anxious" (Jewish
Senior Life 2014). Since they lost family members, they feel alone. This causes the survivors to be depressed and feel like isolation is the best
thing to do. The Holocaust gave many survivors a negative outlook on life as a whole. Sheva Tauby also stated, "Some of them are reviewing their
lives and wondering who will remember them when they're gone. Many of them never had children" (Yellin 2014).After the Holocaust, it was very
hard to repair what was taken from them. Many survivors were not able to start over and have a family. Since they did not have children, it ended
their family line. However, some did get married right away after the Holocaust just to expand their family and have children. This was so that they

Holocaust : The Holocaust And Holocaust
We all know the horrific experience, the Jews faced during the Holocaust and after it. Even after some survived the holocaust physically, they will
always be tormented and haunted by those gruesome memories from those inhumane actions that were directed towards them. After, all they went
through it is obvious the holocaust affected the survivor 's drastically, but how about the future generations of Jews. In which I believe the holocaust did
in fact affect the second generation, but the third generation of Jews as well.
The second generation being the sons and daughters of the actual survivors, they would have been impacted by this more, being told tales of their
experience, dreaming if that had been them, since the Holocaust happened recently their parents might not have had enough time to fully heal not
physically but mentally. So child would be affected as well seeing their parents depressed, tormented, and paranoid. To prove it, Nathan P.F.
Kellermann, says "that during a course in psychotherapy a young man said: "I am hiding in the cellar from the soldiers who are searching for me."
"Overwhelmed by anxiety, I know that if they find me they will kill me on the spot." "Then, I am standing in line for selection: the smell of burning

Holocaust Essay On The Holocaust
The intense documentary "Genocide" reveals the suffering and pain that Jewish people went through. It also examines how the holocaust took place
and what was brutally done to millions of innocent lives during this horrific time in our history.
The implications of anti–semitism on Canada leading up to WWII and the Holocaust was that Jews needed Canada's help and Canada said no. They
followed the stereotypes of what Jews were perceived as and took in only 5000 Jewish refugees. Based on stereotypes, they took in the group of
people that were the most beneficial to them and Jews were at the bottom of that list with Chinese and japanese people. There was anti–semitism in
Germany because of Hitler. While many do not understand the reason for his hatred against Jews he was the reason that caused anti–semitism which
was unnecessary. If Hitler had not created numerous laws discriminating against Jews, the Holocaust wouldn't have happened. He believed that
Jews needed to be removed and were a problem. The world reacted to Hitler by believing what he said. Hitler was powerful and he was able to
brainwash people. The world slowly listened to what was being told and agreed. If they weren't the group of people that Hitler targeted they didn't
have to worry about anything and it was easier to just follow the crowd.
The long–term effects of the Holocaust was that it left thousands of people in mental and physical pain while killing millions of innocent people. Since,

The Holocaust And The Holocaust
The Holocaust was a genocide which lasted from 1942 to 1945 in which around 6 million European Jewish people were killed. It was the result of
the Ideals of the past chancellor of Germany, Adolf Hitler. Hitler came to power in 1933 by capitalising on worldwide events such as the great
depression in 1929 resulting from the Wall Street crash. He began spreading his ideas of anti–Semitism to the German population in preparation for the
'Final Solution' with the assistance of distribution methods like propaganda, violence, and an economic boycott. Most of the impacts resulting from his
methods proved to be extremely valuable to the success of the preparation as they efficiently and effectively carved a hateful image of the Jewish
population into the minds of the German people and aligned them with Hitler's ideas of anti–Semitism. However, some of his methods were not
valuable to prepare the German people as they were not able to depict a strong enough bias against the Jews.
Propaganda was arguably one of the most effective ways for ideas to be spread around rapidly, this was shown in Hitler's autobiography, Mien
Kampf, in which he states: "Propaganda tries to force a doctrine on the whole people..... Propaganda works on the general public from the standpoint
of an idea and makes them ripe for the victory of this idea." It shows that Hitler understood the effectiveness of propaganda and utilised it to spread his
anti–Semitist ideas towards the German people to create a negative image of the Jewish population. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
Webpage states that the Nazi propagandists "exploited pre–existing images and stereotypes, and portrayed Jews as an "alien race" that fed off the host
nation, poisoned its culture, seized its economy, and enslaved its workers and farmers." This hateful depiction of the Jewish people was enough to
create fire in the minds of the German population and drove them into an anti–Semitic frenzy, resulting in the German people expressing their rage
against the Jews through violent means. The impact on the German people that was created by the slanderous depictions of Jews was extremely
valuable to prepare them for the Holocaust, as the hatred for the Jews was so deeply

The Holocaust And The Holocaust
The Holocaust was perhaps one of the most gruesome and horrific time period that the world has ever seen. The Holocaust was the time period when
the Jews were being horrible treated and were being executed by German forces in World War Two. In several books about the dark and horrible time
period, the authors used many different techniques to convey the central idea and the theme. However, the authors uses different techniques in different
genres to get shoe the reader the central idea and theme. For instance, there are different techniques in historical fiction and nonfiction, but they both
develop the same theme and central idea. To start off, in The Devil's Arithmetic by Jane Yolen (historical fiction), the author writes the novel in
historical fiction. The first technique she used was foreshadowing. On page 8, Hannah says, "Across the screen marched old photos of concentration
camps," After this quote, Hannah then goes on to explain that the pictures are Jews in concentration camps and Nazis mistreating Jews. Jane Yolen
included this in the book to introduce the theme and central idea to the reader. This quote shows the beginning of the reader realizing thatthe Holocaust
had a negative impact on everyone who was in it, which is the theme, because of the way the picture of the camps were described in the pictures. To
add, Hannah shows a little bit of sympathy for the people that were being mistreated introducing the theme of people should be treated equally. To add,

The Holocaust : The Significance Of The Holocaust
The Holocaust is an important time period to keep in our minds in order to avoid the repetition of this obscure history. This time period was a time
filled with hate, prejudice, and fear among victims, bystanders, and the oppressors. Many events during the Holocaust were silenced even when many
civilians were experiencing such violence being inflicted upon other human beings. This silence is what led hatred to succeed in the annihilation of
about thirteen million European Jews, Soviet Prisoners, Gypsies, Homosexuals, and anyone else who would be accused to defy the German Reich. With
this dark history, there are many ways to acknowledge all witness accounts, stories, and the fearful events bestowed upon millions of innocents. Along
with acknowledging what the Holocaust consisted of, what events led to it happening, and ways to be intellectual about this history, it is also crucial to
understand the importance of Holocaust remembrance simply for our own humanity. The Holocaust consisted of many horrifying and dehumanizing
events involving the dreadful feelings of hate, prejudice, and fear. Such artwork, newspaper articles, and other propaganda displaying negative
attributes and aspects of Jews were supported and spread throughout all of Germany and Austria. Shortly after the Nuremberg Laws were published

hitler's army was called their job was to collect and kill as many Jewish people as they could. If anyone got in the way they were killed to. Hitler's
reasoning for killing all the jews he says they are the reason why they lost the first world war. How he killed all of these jews hitler and his nazis
would force the jews to leave their houses and towns. Then he would get them all on a cattle car and take them to concentration camps. How hitler
killed the jews were mostly gas chambers ,but he kept some few thousands to work or do certain things in these concentration camps. Some of those
jews survived the holocaust to tell their story of what happened to them and their families.
Elie Wiesel (Night) and Art Spiegelman (Maus) have both written great books about the holocaust. Night is a personal experience Elie was in the
holocaust. Everything in his book was what he saw and what truly happened. Whereas in Maus Art's dad is where the story comes from. Art's father
Vladeck was older than Elie when he got to the holocaust and got there a little later to. Both of the stories start off before anything happened and all

The Holocaust And The Loss Of The Holocaust
The Holocaust will never be forgotten and it should never be forgotten. There are many people out in the world that lost family members and friends
through the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a very brutal and stressful time for anyone that had to experience it. There are people out in the world that
are still alive from the Holocaust and they tell stories about what they had to do and also what they had to deal with during the Holocaust. People may
think that it is dumb to not forget about the Holocaust and we should all forget about it so we can move on from it but we need to know what
happened so that whatever happened in the Holocaust could never happen to us.
It is therefore important to remember the Holocaust because it is an example of how these trends could evolve into something far more threatening.
However, the Holocaust is more than a warning for the past. The human cost of the lost of six million lives is incalculable; consider what could have
been achieved by those who died, what could have been discovered, written, invented and prevented. There is a very long list of Holocaust survivors
who have positively contributed to society but they represent a tiny portion of talent and promise of the generations of European jews lost to us. Many

The Holocaust : The Meaning Of The Holocaust
Introduction The term Holocaust is one that the world is used to hearing, but only a few people really know what it really means. Today the Holocaust
is understood most clearly by Jews and those living during World War II, but not all currently in the world know the full meaning of what the
Holocaust meant to those it affected most–the Jews. The word Holocaust is a Greek word that was used to describe the horrific historical event that
occurred during World War II. The term holos means "a whole", and kaustos means "burned" in Greek. Historically the Greek term Holocaust was
used to describe the sacrificial offering burned on the altar.
But today the world no longer sees it in that light, but rather understands its meaning differently. Today it refers to the mass murder of six million
European Jews. Additionally, the German Nazis killed members of other persecuted groups during World War II such as homosexuals and Gypsies.
This devastating Nazi moment in time has caused the world to wondering how it could have happened. According to the Adolf Hitler (a historical figure
most people recognize) the Jews were an inferior race that was an alien threat to the purity of the German race and community. So as a result of his
beliefs, the Holocaust happened during his Nazi rule. Unbelievably, common humanity was lost during this time in Germany with acceptance of Hitler's
solution to eliminate an "inferior race".

The Holocaust was a system established by the Nazis in World War II as a means to exterminate all of the people which they considered undesirable or
subhuman. This included gypsies,minorities,cripples, the mentally ill, homosexuals,communists,and anyone who opposed the Nazi regime. The main
target of the Holocaust was however the Jewish people. They were the main target because the leader of Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler, believed that they
were the reason for Germany losing World War 1 and thus was the reason that the German economy was in a bad state. Vladek Spiegelman and
Elie Weisel were to people who were both survived their experiences in the Holocaust and both told their story in books. These books are Night by
Elie Wiesel and Maus by Vladek Spiegelman.The Holocaust shaped these two different men's lives in the same way. Through their losses and
experiences in this horrific point in time they learned what it meant to truly struggle and this ultimately turned them into better people. While in the
camps theses two men faced some of the same horrific and disgusting experiences. They both talked about the lack of food as there is mentioning
of them eating only soup and bread. Although at one point a kapo who liked Vladek gave him a present of things like sausages and eggs. But as

The Holocaust : The Life Of The Holocaust
The Holocaust was a very depressing and frightening era for European jews because of an unruly upcoming power in Germany. Adolf Hitler and at
his side the Nazis Party seized Poland in the summer of 1939. His actions sparked to what is known as World War 11 which was about 2 decades after
the first World war. Throughout all of this,the Holocaust was a mass murder of more than 6 million European jews that were discriminated against the
Nazis and their leader Hitler who had an ambition of world domination. Many jews during the Holocaust lived a very dreadful life. They were taken
from their homes and put into ghettos and also taken to concentration camps to starve to death. They lived through restrictions given by the Nazis that
made life for them extraordinarily difficult.
The Holocaust lasted for more than a decade and a very long and dreadful decade for European jews. They endured so much pain and struggle
because of their religion and nationality. Before the Holocaust European jews lived a normal life like anyone else around the world. The jewish
population was spread in almost every country in Europe. There was about more than 9 million jews that lived in Europe. They spoke their own
language which was yiddish a mixture of German and Hebrew. Life would soon change for Jews when the second president of Germany Paul Von
Hindenburg nominated Hitler as Chancellor of Germany. The power of the Nazis would soon rise and life for Jews would change forever

The Causes Of The Holocaust And The Holocaust

  • 1. The Causes Of The Holocaust And The Holocaust The Holocaust was one of the most tragic events that happened during World War II between 1939 until 1945. World War II involved the vast majority of the world's countries, one of them being Germany, who played a big part in the Holocaust. Germany became involved because of Adolf Hitler, the chancellor, wanted revenge for the troubleGermany had in World War I. During World War II, Hitler exploited anti –semitic feelings towards Jewish people because he believed they were the reason Germany had to surrender in World War I. Those feelings were whythe Holocaust happened. The Holocaust was the persecution of nearly 6 million Jewish people, also known as Jews. Not only were Jews being persecuted, but many other ethnic, secular, and religious groups also, such as " Poles, Czechs, Greeks, Gypsies, Serbs, Ukrainians, and Russians, as well as homosexuals, mentally and physically handicapped persons, trade unionists, prisoners of war, Jehovah's Witnesses, and uncounted others" (U–S–History). All targeted because of their "racial inferiority". The Holocaust was a devastating event that lasted several years and impacted many lives by tearing people from their homes, killing them, torturing them, forcing them into concentration camps, and by the end, affecting the Jewish population and the rest of the world, but if Hitler didn't do what he did and the Holocaust didn't happen, the world would be at a completelytotally different place. During the Holocaust, Hitler and German Nazis mainly targeted Jewish people. Adolf Hitler was very adamant that Jews were the main cause of Germany losing World War I and he believed that they were the cause of Germany's economic suffering, since Germany had to pay a huge amount of money for the damage that was created in World War I. Hitler also presumed that they were a morally and culturally corrupting influence and strongly believed that Jews were an alien threat to German racial purity. First of all, being an alien threat to racial purity was very unlucky for the Jews because they weren't anything like what Hitler had pictured in his "perfect" world. Earlier on in Hitler's life, in 1923, he was imprisoned for treason. While he was in prison, he wrote a memoir called, "Mein Kampf" (My ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 2. Holocaust Survivors Of The Holocaust According to the texts and eyewitness accounts, the Holocaust had horrendous effects on the people who lived through it. During this time Jews were being rounded up and put into concentration camps by order of the German government. Writings and testimonies from survivors of the Holocaust are around even to this day. According to these sources, Holocaust survivors suffered tremendously since they were treated as less than human , they lost loved ones, and were constantly abused. During the Holocaust, people in the Nazi's custody were treated as less than human. According to "Jakob's Story", the Nazi's gave their prisoners little food and only one meal a day.

According to "I'm Telling the Story" by Magdalena Klein, the prisoners were not given proper clothing. She writes "In rags, soiled, infested with lice" (Klein, stanza 2) and "Unclad frail feet were trudging in the snow" (Klein, stanza 4). The Nazi's not only neglect to give the prisoners proper clothing, they also force them to walk barefoot through the snow! This problem is still present in the world today, not with the Nazis, but tyrannical governments still do this. In short, Nazi prisoners were not treated with the respect that is due to every human being, and suffered greatly because of it. In conclusion, the Holocaust had detrimental effects on all that survived. This was because prisoners were treated as less than human and not given enough food. They also lost many of their loved ones, many of whom were executed. And to top it all off, they were abused by their captors on a regular basis.

This event happened in Western Europe, in countries like Poland and Germany ("Introduction to the Holocaust" par. 5). People involved in the Holocaust were Adolf Hitler, the chancellor of Germany and the leader of the Nazi party; and over six million people who were sent to concentration camps and ghettos ("Holocaust" par. 7). The Holocaust was the persecution of 6 million Jews and millions of others forced to live in ghettos, deported to camps, and systematically annihilated until the Allied forces liberated the remaining survivors. During the Holocaust, the Nazi party were devising plans to control Jews, and came up with the Ghettos. In the year of 1942, after Germany invaded Poland, people of the Jewish lineage or community were herded into the Ghettos ("Ghettos in Poland" par.5).

Many survivors lost almost everything; not just their families and friends, but also their properties, businesses and belongings. Some survivors returning to their homes found them to have new tenants in them refusing to move. Others found out that their belongings like valuables or household items had been sold to fund the October 1943 rescue. By September 1945, 1,300 survivors of the Holocaust still had no permanent homes.22 Many returning survivors faced taunts and threats from people in their villages.23 There were also the physical aspects of attempting to return home. One Polish Jew named Dora Rytman had survived the Holocaust and wanted to go home. It was very difficult for anyone to return home because a lot of the tracks and roads were in pieces because of previous bombings.

  • 7. The Holocaust : Causes Of The Holocaust What causes conflict? Well, conflict is caused when there is a disagreement or miscommunication. The Holocaust was a huge and bloody disagreement that led to World War II and was a horrific event that took place in the 1930 –1940's. A man that we've probably all heard of, named Adolf Hitler, came into power and participated in the slaughter of nearly 6 million jews, 250,000 disabled, and 196,000–220,000 Gypsies (according to the National Holocaust Memorial Museum website). These deaths were all over the European continent that were under German rule. My position on the main cause for the Holocaust was that the end of World War I leftGermany in poverty. With the government in corruption, the people were desperate for change, so they allowed Hitler into power with the belief that others could control him if he did something bad. This obviously wasn't true. After WWI, Germany fell into poverty. Everyday, lines of people were seen in the streets waiting to purchase bread. People were poor and desperate. Hitler saw this and used it. He gave people hope and the economy improved and he was announced chancellor of Germany in 1933. Government suspected he was unstable, but were convinced they could control him if necessary. Hitler secretly made a new police called the Nazis who were Hitler's supporters and enforced the law at Hitler's command. Quickly and unknowingly, the government was no longer in control of Hitler. Hitler had full power of Germany. With the power in Hitler's reach and the belief that only the healthy German's were superior to all, Hitler began the Holocaust. He did hate Jewish people the most and deemed them unworthy to live with the Germans, but he also murdered many disabled and Gypsies. First, Hitler tried to get Jews to immigrate. Some did, to other parts of Europe, but when the Nazis took over they were simply shipped away anyway. In addition, the Germans spread rumors of the Jews to try to stop their businesses, and even children were raised to believe that the Jews were bad.

The Holocaust, perhaps, has one of the biggest collection of testimonials and facts given via the word of mouth or writings out of any singular event. Survivors from all over Europe have given their thoughts for decades now, and there's no shortage of places to find them. One interesting testimonial comes from Renate Vambery in 1996, over 50 years since the end of World War II. She was born in Germany in 1916 to her father, a lawyer and officer in the German armed forces during World War I, and her mother, a homemaker and designer. During her growing years, the Nazis became rising to power. Even before Hitler took control of Germany, her school teachers were professing the rhetoric of the Nazi Party. Renate, who was Jewish, once painted Jesus on the cross for an art project, which angered her teacher so much that he screamed and threw art supplies across the room. Later, her mother lost her voting rights. Despite all this, Renate was still not fully aware about the implications of the changing tide in Germany, saying "I didn't know I was going to lose all my non–Jewish friends until it actually happened."

During and after the Holocaust, citizens of the United States pondered this question in the context of Jewish refugees murdered in Nazi Germany; ultimately, citizens remember this tragic genocide and promise it will not happen again under any circumstances, not only in America, but in other nations as well. Since the Holocaust, leaders and lawmakers in the United States have analyzed the causes that led to this event and designed laws and documents to prevent such an infraction of human rights from happening again. The long–lasting effects of the Holocaust, which expose the dangers of America's isolation and conservative immigration policies, contribute to the liberalization of American immigration and increased worldwide instances of United States humanitarian intervention. From the time of the Articles of Confederation to the time of World War One, the United States remained predominantly isolated from nations outside of North America, notably in Asia and Europe. This practice of isolation later correlated with discriminatory immigration policies. For instance, the Johnson–Reed Immigration Act of 1924 placed a quota on immigrants from the Eastern hemisphere based on their country of origin (Immigration Act).

Hitler and his higher up stripped Jews of everything. He took their money, their homes, their jobs, their nationality, their dignity, and eventually he took their lives.

Once Hitler had finally reached power he set out to complete one goal, create a Greater Germany free from the Jews ("The reasons for the Holocaust," 2009). This tragedy is known today as, "The Holocaust," that explains the terrors of our histories past. The face of the Holocaust, master of death, and leader of Germany; Adolf Hitler the most deceitful, powerful, well spoken, and intelligent person that acted as the key to this mass murder. According to a research study at the University of South Florida, nearly eleven million people were targeted and killed. This disaster is a genocide that was meant to ethnically cleanse Germany of the Jews. Although Jewish people were the main target they were not the only ones targeted; gypsies, African Americans, homosexuals, socialists, political enemies, communists, and the mentally disabled were killed (Simpson, 2012, p. 113). The word to describe this hatred for Jewish people is known as antisemitism. It was brought about when German philosophers denounced that "Jewish spirit is alien to Germandom" ("Antisemitism") which states that a Jew is non–German.

Not only did the Holocaust affect the Jews physically and mentally at the time, but it also greatly impacted their lives after the horror. Some victims of the Holocaust, the worst atrocity committed in humankind's history, find it extremely difficult to open up and talk about their past because they don't want to remember any part of it. However, most survivors choose to share their stories with the younger generation in order to pass them onto future ones.

  • 17. The Holocaust : The Perpetration Of The Holocaust Over six million Jews were exterminated in the Holocaust. It is the largest genocide in history. How was such an industrial scale of murder accomplished? People have grappled with this question since the fall of the Nazi regime. When analyzing the Holocaust, one must consider if it was executed by the Nazi regime as a whole, or if individuals actively and freely engaged in it. Anti–Semitism was a popular sentiment that had been growing in Europe since before the rise of the Nazi regime. But individual willingness to participate could not be the main driver for murdering six million people. The Nazi regime collectively must be responsible for shaping the Holocaust. The Nazi Doctors by Robert Lifton, The Drowned and the Saved by Primo Levi, and the "Testimonies of SS Men" provided for class help answer that aforementioned question. While some individuals actively and willingly participated, it was the Nazi regime as a whole that shaped the perpetration of the Holocaust. While anti–Semitism was pervasive throughout Europe, it was the Nazi regime that perpetrated the Holocaust and conditioned individuals to commit atrocities. Without such conditioning, individuals would not have tortured and murdered six million people.

Written works like Night by Elie Wiesel, The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank, and The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne describe the reality faced by Jews that some refuse to believe occurred. These famous publications have enlightened readers all over the world about the Holocaust and what its name entails. At the very beginning of Night, Elie Wiesel describes a significant figure in his life named Moishe the Beadle. The character is portrayed as a religious man full of optimism who knew how to lift the spirits in everyone he knew. Moishe witnesses Jews being killed by the Gestapo, which leaves permanent damage on his pure heart. The author then goes on to state on page seven, "Moishe was not the same. The joy in his eyes was gone." Moishe only wished to warn other Jews of their fate, yet no one bothered to listen.

  • 25. The Holocaust And The Holocaust Crimes against humanity are a concerns everyone. Even if they are not happening directly in your own country, they affect you because you have the power to stop and help them through their crisis. Nations should act on their own accord with regarding crimes against humanity taking place. If other countries take too long debating on what they should intervene regarding the crime against humanity, many more lives are lost and rights are violated. This is extremely apparent in the Holocaust, the genocide in Darfur and the genocide in Rwanda. The Holocaust was a period that started around 1933 and went until 1944. The Holocaust happened when Adolf Hitler rose to power and spread his ultra–nationalistic ideas in Germany. Hitler had many extreme views on how Germany should be like. For example, he blamed all the Jews for all of Germany's problems. Hitler believed in a Master Race, which excluded the Jews, Gypsies, Homophobes, Disabled, and Mentally disabled people. In order to achieve this master race, everyone who was not a German and caucasian were to be murdered. Concentration camps were set up for mostly the Jews but also the other people who did not fit into Hitler's master race plans. At these camps, families were split up, people were starved to death, worked to death, gassed, dug their own graves and then shot, harvested and went through sickening medical trials.The germans played mind tricks on the concentration camp residents; they would take groups of men or women ...

  • 27. The Holocaust And The Holocaust Survivors The Holocaust was a genocide during World War II that caused millions of people to die. The Holocaust was the event where Nazi Germany killed millions of people that they did not seem to be a part of the Nazi's Master Race. Adolf Hitler was the leader of Germany at the time and was a major supporter of their attempt at creating the Master Race and eliminating those whom he did not see being a part of his Master Race. Adolf Hitler and Germany caused one of the largest death tolls and most well known genocide in history, which is known now as the holocaust. My reaction to the "Second Generation to Holocaust Survivors: Enhanced Differentiation of Trauma Transmission." written by, Micha Weiss and Sima Weiss is that those poor, innocent people were killed or scarred for life for something they cannot control. I feel awful for all those kids and young people who had to live the rest of their lives out after experiencing their parents be killed or starved to death and seeing all those other people around them being killed. I also feel angry that Germany let this happen, and not only let this happen, but supported Hitler's decision to kill off millions of people and treated them so unfairly. "Gail told of the death of her father after she was two, and thereafter moving between foster homes, due to her mother's inability to provide for her."

The reporters from Jewish Senior Life explained, "Many are now widows and widowers; they feel isolated, depressed, alone, and anxious" (Jewish Senior Life 2014). Since they lost family members, they feel alone. This causes the survivors to be depressed and feel like isolation is the best thing to do. The Holocaust gave many survivors a negative outlook on life as a whole. Sheva Tauby also stated, "Some of them are reviewing their lives and wondering who will remember them when they're gone. Many of them never had children" (Yellin 2014).After the Holocaust, it was very hard to repair what was taken from them. Many survivors were not able to start over and have a family.

Even after some survived the holocaust physically, they will always be tormented and haunted by those gruesome memories from those inhumane actions that were directed towards them. After, all they went through it is obvious the holocaust affected the survivor 's drastically, but how about the future generations of Jews. In which I believe the holocaust did in fact affect the second generation, but the third generation of Jews as well. The second generation being the sons and daughters of the actual survivors, they would have been impacted by this more, being told tales of their experience, dreaming if that had been them, since the Holocaust happened recently their parents might not have had enough time to fully heal not physically but mentally. So child would be affected as well seeing their parents depressed, tormented, and paranoid. To prove it, Nathan P.F. Kellermann, says "that during a course in psychotherapy a young man said: "I am hiding in the cellar from the soldiers who are searching for me."

  • 30. Holocaust Essay On The Holocaust The intense documentary "Genocide" reveals the suffering and pain that Jewish people went through. It also examines how the holocaust took place and what was brutally done to millions of innocent lives during this horrific time in our history. The implications of anti–semitism on Canada leading up to WWII and the Holocaust was that Jews needed Canada's help and Canada said no. They followed the stereotypes of what Jews were perceived as and took in only 5000 Jewish refugees. Based on stereotypes, they took in the group of people that were the most beneficial to them and Jews were at the bottom of that list with Chinese and japanese people. There was anti–semitism in Germany because of Hitler. While many do not understand the reason for his hatred against Jews he was the reason that caused anti–semitism which was unnecessary. If Hitler had not created numerous laws discriminating against Jews, the Holocaust wouldn't have happened. He believed that Jews needed to be removed and were a problem. The world reacted to Hitler by believing what he said. Hitler was powerful and he was able to brainwash people. The world slowly listened to what was being told and agreed. If they weren't the group of people that Hitler targeted they didn't have to worry about anything and it was easier to just follow the crowd.

  • 31. The Holocaust And The Holocaust The Holocaust was a genocide which lasted from 1942 to 1945 in which around 6 million European Jewish people were killed. It was the result of the Ideals of the past chancellor of Germany, Adolf Hitler. Hitler came to power in 1933 by capitalising on worldwide events such as the great depression in 1929 resulting from the Wall Street crash. He began spreading his ideas of anti–Semitism to the German population in preparation for the 'Final Solution' with the assistance of distribution methods like propaganda, violence, and an economic boycott. Most of the impacts resulting from his methods proved to be extremely valuable to the success of the preparation as they efficiently and effectively carved a hateful image of the Jewish population into the minds of the German people and aligned them with Hitler's ideas of anti–Semitism. However, some of his methods were not valuable to prepare the German people as they were not able to depict a strong enough bias against the Jews. Propaganda was arguably one of the most effective ways for ideas to be spread around rapidly, this was shown in Hitler's autobiography, Mien Kampf, in which he states: "Propaganda tries to force a doctrine on the whole people..... Propaganda works on the general public from the standpoint of an idea and makes them ripe for the victory of this idea." It shows that Hitler understood the effectiveness of propaganda and utilised it to spread his anti–Semitist ideas towards the German people to create a negative image of the Jewish population. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Webpage states that the Nazi propagandists "exploited pre–existing images and stereotypes, and portrayed Jews as an "alien race" that fed off the host nation, poisoned its culture, seized its economy, and enslaved its workers and farmers." This hateful depiction of the Jewish people was enough to create fire in the minds of the German population and drove them into an anti–Semitic frenzy, resulting in the German people expressing their rage against the Jews through violent means. The impact on the German people that was created by the slanderous depictions of Jews was extremely valuable to prepare them for the Holocaust, as the hatred for the Jews was so deeply ...

The Holocaust was the time period when the Jews were being horrible treated and were being executed by German forces in World War Two. In several books about the dark and horrible time period, the authors used many different techniques to convey the central idea and the theme. However, the authors uses different techniques in different genres to get shoe the reader the central idea and theme. For instance, there are different techniques in historical fiction and nonfiction, but they both develop the same theme and central idea. To start off, in The Devil's Arithmetic by Jane Yolen (historical fiction), the author writes the novel in historical fiction. The first technique she used was foreshadowing. On page 8, Hannah says, "Across the screen marched old photos of concentration camps," After this quote, Hannah then goes on to explain that the pictures are Jews in concentration camps and Nazis mistreating Jews. Jane Yolen included this in the book to introduce the theme and central idea to the reader. This quote shows the beginning of the reader realizing thatthe Holocaust had a negative impact on everyone who was in it, which is the theme, because of the way the picture of the camps were described in the pictures.

  • 34. The Holocaust : The Significance Of The Holocaust The Holocaust is an important time period to keep in our minds in order to avoid the repetition of this obscure history. This time period was a time filled with hate, prejudice, and fear among victims, bystanders, and the oppressors. Many events during the Holocaust were silenced even when many civilians were experiencing such violence being inflicted upon other human beings. This silence is what led hatred to succeed in the annihilation of about thirteen million European Jews, Soviet Prisoners, Gypsies, Homosexuals, and anyone else who would be accused to defy the German Reich. With this dark history, there are many ways to acknowledge all witness accounts, stories, and the fearful events bestowed upon millions of innocents. Along with acknowledging what the Holocaust consisted of, what events led to it happening, and ways to be intellectual about this history, it is also crucial to understand the importance of Holocaust remembrance simply for our own humanity. The Holocaust consisted of many horrifying and dehumanizing events involving the dreadful feelings of hate, prejudice, and fear. Such artwork, newspaper articles, and other propaganda displaying negative attributes and aspects of Jews were supported and spread throughout all of Germany and Austria.

There are people out in the world that are still alive from the Holocaust and they tell stories about what they had to do and also what they had to deal with during the Holocaust. People may think that it is dumb to not forget about the Holocaust and we should all forget about it so we can move on from it but we need to know what happened so that whatever happened in the Holocaust could never happen to us.

  • 37. The Holocaust : The Meaning Of The Holocaust Introduction The term Holocaust is one that the world is used to hearing, but only a few people really know what it really means. Today the Holocaust is understood most clearly by Jews and those living during World War II, but not all currently in the world know the full meaning of what the Holocaust meant to those it affected most–the Jews. The word Holocaust is a Greek word that was used to describe the horrific historical event that occurred during World War II. The term holos means "a whole", and kaustos means "burned" in Greek. Historically the Greek term Holocaust was used to describe the sacrificial offering burned on the altar. But today the world no longer sees it in that light, but rather understands its meaning differently. Today it refers to the mass murder of six million European Jews. Additionally, the German Nazis killed members of other persecuted groups during World War II such as homosexuals and Gypsies. This devastating Nazi moment in time has caused the world to wondering how it could have happened.
