This shows how history was changed because of the way people died, in the 1940's due to the way Germans wanted to execute non-Arians. Another example, when the Jews were getting separated, "I didn't know that this was the moment in time and the place where I was leaving my mother and Tzipara forever" (Wisel, 29). During the Holocaust they didn't care about families being together. For instance, the way that Elie's family was separated, the men of the family went one way and the women went the other. This demonstrates how the Holocaust destroyed families being together, and how it affected how history developed through the years.
In this essay, I will be including and explaining the real facts and figures of what happened in the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a time of devastation and corruption. It was a time of cruelty and it was terribly inhumane. The Holocaust and its supporters tried vainly to make the world perfect, but only succeeded in killing millions. The Nazi’s and Adolph Hitler spoke against Jews even before the start of World War II, they blamed them for
The Holocaust was the systematic genocide of Jews and other undesirables by the Nazis in German-occupied areas of Europe. Some Nazi practices were forcing Jews to live in concentration camps or ghettos, as well as murdering them in numerous ways. Policies included the Nuremburg Laws, which stripped the rights of Jews. Resistance against these activities did not necessarily involve violence; there were both violent and passive ways in which the Jews chose to resist Nazi policies and practices. Many Jewish people chose to use violent opposition as resistance to the actions of the Germans.
The consequences of Kristallnatch, the event in Germany was rejected by various and praised by others, many governments cut off relations with Germany in protest. The Jews who remained in Germany were forced to pay a fine of one billion marks for the damage in kristallnatch, Jewish children were not accepted in schools and there was a mass escape of Jews living in territories ruled by the 3rd Reich. As we saw the Kristallnatch was not a spontaneous act but an act orchestrated by the nazis who had been waiting for the right occasion to performed it, with that act the Nazis declared an
The long-term causes were from the Middle Ages up until 1939 when the Holocaust properly began. The longest-term cause was the medieval tradition of anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism was existent long before the Nazi party and in the Middle Ages Jews were often treated as outcasts by European society. They had no real ‘homeland’, which made them different to other religions, and they travelled around as traders for some time. As Christianity spread Jews were often seen as the biblical “Christ-killers” which made much of the European community suspicious of them.
During the 1940’s horrible crimes and tortures were committed by the Nazis. The Nazi’s led by Hitler were trying to complete their goal known as the final solution. This goal was to entirely eliminate the Jewish race. The Nazi’s saw them as inferior people who didn’t deserve to live. They looked at Jews as animals not people.
Up until the mid 1942’s most Jews were unaware that the Final Solution was being implemented throughout German occupied territory. Before their realization of this, they were stripped weapons and faced starvation. These two things coupled with what the thought that they were being deported to ghettos with food and housing helped them to believe that they didn’t need to take to arms and fight back. Also, the Nazis policy for reprisals worked against their want to fight. For every act of defiance and murder of a Nazi solider, a Jew and his family would be executed, sometimes even whole villages of Jews.
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. 3. Another unintended effect of the Holocaust occurred after the first Death Camps were liberated by the Allies. When the Allied soldiers, many of whom were themselves Jewish, saw what the Germans had been doing, they tended to stop taking German prisoners, especially members of the Waffen-SS, and executed them instead. 4.
Envy has led to various cruel and inhumane actions such as the Holocaust during World War II. This feeling of discontent and longing, aroused by someone else’s possessions, qualities, or luck, has come to ruin human nature and has brought destruction to particular ethnic and religious groups. In some countries, envy has led to the dehumanization of its inhabitants. During the 1940s, the Jews were the victims of both hatred and envy. The Jews were forced out of their homes, separated from their families, and put in concentration camps working in intolerant conditions for the Nazis.
| We find that while Bruno is exploring his new environment he meets a new friend whose life and circumstances are very different to his own, their meeting results to the death of Bruno.Why? Because Bruno didn’t understand the dangers the world contains. We have wars; people getting killed every day as well as people getting discriminated against and mistreated because of their culture and religion. And we are only made aware of this as we grow and learn. | The period of time the book is based on was when European Jews were badly treated by The Nazi.
