They also learned that their only friend is earth. Remarque shows this on page 55. He wrote “When he presses himself down upon her long powerfully…..” In this part of the book the soldiers are under an attack. The Frenchmen aren’t showing any mercy and bombarding them, leaving behind big holes in the ground. The bombs are making the earth perverse by taking away its life and leaving behind death.
He seems to be lost within the joy of killing when he says “Another baby next. O one-two-three the murderer inside me rose up hard.” Which Hitler himself became enthralled with soon losing sight of his reasons behind the “exterminations.” It is the last sentence in the last stanza that connects all of the dots. “If only they’d all consented to die unseen gassed underground the quiet Nazi way.” This quote is included to help show the much deeper more literal meaning of this poem. It also adds to the view that the farmer has gone from trying to save his farm from pests to trying to almost wipe the entire species of woodchucks from the earth. It also seems to show that he blames the woodchucks for not going down easily adding to the reader’s view of him becoming completely

They were sent because Hitler believed that they were “racially inferior” and useless. He also thought they were a threat to Aryan authority and superiority. He believed gypsies were non-Aryan and were part of his “Final Solution”. Hitler’s Final Solution was what to do with the non-Aryans.
Billy, who is in even worse shape than many of the others, falls into an hysterical fit during the play and has to be restrained and tranquilized. He is taken to the prison hospital, where he meets Paul Lazzaro, who had befriended Roland Weary on the prison train and promised Weary that he would one day kill Billy as an ac of revenge. The American prisoners are transferred to the German city of Dresden, an "open city" with no strategic value that is supposed to be safe from at tack. They are housed in an abandoned slaughter house-Slaughterhouse-Five. At one point they are visited by Howard W. Campbell, Jr., an American who has gone over to the Nazis.
This is another example of dehumanization. They were stripped of more rights when they were trafficked. If unhealthy, they were executed through gas chambers, crematoriums or personal execution. Not even given a second thought before death, as if it were the execution of an animal. Wiesel uses a lot of different similes and metaphors to portray how he is feeling and the dehumanization of the inmates at the camp.
I. Imagine an existence consumed by violence and despair. The Sunflower delves us into this existence through the eyes of the author, Simon Wiesenthal. Imprisoned in a Jewish concentration camp, Wiesenthal endures a nightmarish day-to-day existence, having lost everything including faith in human morality, and the existence of a merciful god. After witnessing countless murders of innocent people, Wiesenthal has lost all hope, searching for any sign of symbol that would restore it, stating that “at that time we were ready to see symbols in everything.
Before Frankenstein creates the creature, Frankenstein goes graveyards to collect dead body parts with an aim to accomplish his ambition. In chapter four while trying to create he says “I pursued nature to her hiding places…My limbs now tremble, and my eyes swim with the remembrance…In a solitary chamber, or rather cell…I kept my workshop of filthy creation: my eyeballs were starting from their sockets in attending to the details of my employment” (Shelley, 55). These words uttered by him shows that he is far away from humanity, as his ambitions motivate him more than necessary. That is, he ignores the consequences of the creation he is ambitious for, namely his devotion to science. Even though it is necessary to be ambitious in any part of life, the excessiveness of ambition damages either oneself or others.

In the all men’s camp Elie is repetitively tortured for sticking up and or fending for his father.
Samantha Brace-Baker 6/22/09 Research Paper Nazi Medicine WW2 During WWII, Hitler wanted to find a cheap easy quick way of disposing of the subhumans, or people who weren’t considered people at all. He hired a couple physicians to do this and eventually they went on to use the inmates in concentration camps as guinea pigs for medical research to help their perfect the German soldiers. Many people died in the experiments but there were some who survived and shared their stories with the world. Doctors {draw:frame} The Nazi doctors of WWII, also known as the Angels of Death, were heartless and used humans to test what the human body could endure in different circumstances. Many doctors wanted only specific people and others
Chester Chan 29 November 2011 Slaughterhouse Five, Kurt Vonnegut’s masterpiece, is story of the bombing of Dresden, from living through it, and his attempt at an anti-war book. Once when he discussed his plan for writing with a movie-maker, he was asked, “Why don’t you write an anti-glacier book instead?” (Vonnegut 3) Vonnegut knew how daunting a task it was to write this novel, and even when he was done, he told the publisher, “It is so short and jumbled and jangled, Sam, because there is nothing intelligent to say about a massacre.” (Vonnegut 18) The name Slaughterhouse Five is for the slaughterhouse in which he was locked up in during the massacre, and alternately titled, The Children’s Crusade to prevent from giving war a glamorous image
