Each day, Jews were just giving a certain amount of water, bread, and soup. Men were forced to work until they can no longer take it and just die because the poor conditions they were in and the doctors in the camps wouldn't take the time and see what was wrong, they rather just let them die. There was something known as a selection as well. It was used to decide if each Jewish was still useful for working. If this wasn't the case then he should be killed.
The view that the Nazis intended to exterminate the Jews of Europe from the moment they came into power is widely accepted by many in the wake of the Holocaust. However, evidence such as a possible plan to send the Jews to Madagascar, the time it took to start the mass killings and the lack of evidence of any early murderous intent demonstrates that the path to extermination did not appear until the middle of the Second World War. The serious consideration of the Madagascar Plan, which involved the mass relocation of European Jews to Madagascar, strongly supports the view that the Nazis decided on extermination during the war and not when they came to power. Hitler and several members of his inner circle, such as Heinrich Himmler (chief
To dehumanize a person is to be cruel to them until they no longer act human. In the book Night, the most disturbing form of dehumanization is that the Nazis barely fed the Jews. One way that the Nazis dehumanized the Jews is that they were forced to wear only thin, torn rags, and old shoes, To the Jews, "this was the true equality: nakedness. Shivering with cold" (32). They were being dehumanized because the fact that they only had this very thin outfit to wear was making them weaker and weaker, They had to wear this outfit year-round, and never got a new one.
When he returns, he tells the villagers about how he has miraculously escaped from his torturers. He also tells them shocking stories about the atrocities committed against the Jews by Hitler’s regime. When Elie and the other villagers do not believe his stories, thinking he has gone mad, Moshe weeps and tells his story again. As time passes, the Nazis treat the Jews worse and worse. First they shift the Jewish people to live in ghettos; then they arrest them and transport them to Birkenau, the reception center that leads to Auschwitz.
Once the war started, and the Final Solution was implemented, every guard who now had to deal with killing Jews was not available for duty on the Front. Every able-bodied Jew--Jews who would have fought for Germany as they had during WW1--who was killed in the gas chambers was not available for duty on the Front. All the materials utilized to build concentration camps and gas chambers were not available to build defenses such as tank traps on the Front. 2. In the wars final stages, as the Red Army was approaching from the East and Patton and Bradley were approaching from the West, Hitler gave first priority to transporting Jews to Death Camps instead of soldiers to the Front, his hatred of them was that great.
Do you see that chimney over there?...Over there will be your grave...You will be burned! Burned to a cinder! Turned into ashes!" (Wiesel 31). Jews were also separated from their families based on race, age, and sex; some were forced into slaves.
And also invaded them because of the jewish people . When jews died, Hitler used creamatoriums to get rid of the dead bodies quickly. Creamatoriums are normally used for dead bodies and to have the dead persons ashes in memory of them. Hitler used these differently to get rid of jewish bodies. Most slave workers were creamated in these creamatoriums when they died of starvation.
The Holocaust and the Apartheid The Holocaust was when the Nazis, led by Hitler, killed six million Jewish people, Gypsies or ‘undesirables’. Adolf Hitler blamed Germany loosing the war on the Jewish people and decided they should pay for it. There were ghettos, which Jewish families were crammed into with little rations and not much space. Jews were put in concentration camps and labour camps, people were killed and many fell ill. People fell ill and many died at the concentration and labour camps, then many were taken to camps where they were led into chambers and gassed. The Apartheid was when white people came to Africa and took over; they took the land from the black people and kept it themselves.
My previous knowledge about the ghettos was that it was a place that the Jews were placed until they were brought to the death camps. But as I saw in the film the ghettos were places that the living conditions were awful and mostly everyone was malnourished and lacked basic needs. The ghettos were just as bad as the death camps as the conditions were unsanitary and unfit for people. The only difference between the death camps and the ghettos were the systematic killing that would take place. The Jewish people were suffering and the Nazi regime continued to project that it was the Jewish people causing the problems and that they were the major issue even within the
To make this argument, they reject all the evidence submitted at Nuremberg. They denounce as fabrications the genocidal intention of the Nazi state and the thousands of orders, memos, notes, and other records that document the process of destruction. When they cannot sustain arguments that documents are forged, they argue that the language in the documents has been deliberately misinterpreted. Furthermore, some Holocaust deniers insist that the Allies tortured the perpetrators into testifying about their role in the killing process and that the survivors who testified about Nazi crimes against Jews were all lying out of
