Only one can pull off all of the above. Osama bin Laden. Born in 1957 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, bin Laden’s troubled childhood, radical views, and extreme actions have made him a notorious figure world wide. Osama bin Laden stood against the United States and the Jews of Israel. He has used profound acts of hatred to wage a deadly war against all of Western Civilization in the name of Islam.
They attempted to kill all of the Jewish people. This is called genocide. Genocide is when a certain person or group (Nazis) tries to exterminate an entire race or ethnic group. They wanted to do this because the Nazis thought that the Jews were inferior, and they saw them as a threat to Hitler’s rain of terror. At this time there were 9 million Jews in Europe.
Holocaust: a great or complete devastation or destruction. Alas, Babylon, written by Pat Frank, is a frightening pessimistic story because the dramatic effects of a nuclear war almost wipes out the population, causes more criminal activity, and a rampage of diseases to spread across the country. The life of the River Road Family took a fatalistic turn after a massive bombing by the Soviet Union kills millions of people, including their friends and family. “This was the end. Civilization was crushed” (page 103).
www.ushmm.org/museum/exhibit/focus/kristallnacht/. The Germans wanted the Jews to get out, to go anywhere. The Nazi’s where holding vicious pogroms—state sanctioned, anti-Jewish riots—against the Jewish community of Germany. The Nazi’s encouraged the rioters and when they did that, the rioters destroyed 267 synagogues; vandalized or looted 7,500 Jewish businesses; 30,000 male Jews sent to concentration camps and killed at least 91 Jewish people were killed. The glass left over from all the destruction is why it was called the Night of The Broken Glass.
This caused the Germans to go on a murderous spree, they burned down one-hundred-ninety-one synagogues and one-hundred-ninety-one house and apartments. By the end of their spree they killed ninety-one Jews, seriously injured thirty-six, and sent thirty-thousand Jews to concentration camps ( Byers 30 ). There were many concentration camps in Europe one of which ,Auschwitz's, had three main camps; Auschwitz I was known as a concentration camp, Auschwitz II was known as Birkenau the extermination camp, and Auschwitz III was known as Monowitz the slave camp ( Blohm 51). Sadly many Jewish men and women were worked to death, and later on they would be known as death camps. These women and men were not given clothes to keep them warm or heat during winter.
The Holocaust “By warding off the Jews, I am fighting for the Lords work” (Harran 50). This quote is the exact words of the worlds most accomplished mass murderer in history, Adolf Hitler. His goal was to exterminate the complete Jewish race, to make room for the “Aryan” race. “Jews have been discriminated against, hated, and killed because prejudiced non-Jews believed they belonged to the wrong religion, lacked citizenship qualifications, practiced business improperly, behaved inappropriately, or possessed inferior racial characteristics” (Harran 41). Due to the hatred that was formed against the Jewish people, over the years of 1933 to 1945, about six million innocent people lost their lives.
This was not the first time they had tried to attack the world trade centre. In 1993 February 26th a truck bomb exploded in a parking garage below the world trade centre. Six people were killed and more than 1000 people where injured. A Pakistani was eventually captured and convicted for the bombing as were several Egyptians. The FBI believe that these terrorists plan was too explode one of the towers and make it lean and fall onto the other tower to destroy them both to try and kill and total of 250,000 civilian deaths.
Hitler had already convinced Germany that Jews were a disgrace. He started the extermination by taking over Poland, a country with over three million Jews. Then, he continued taking over Belgium, Luxemburg, France, and Holland, placing every single Jew under Nazis control. Hitler and his people did not know what to do with the millions of Jews, so he proposed, and executed, the Final Solution. This means, kill them all!
The population of Germany decreased a lot over the years of the Holocaust. Hitler destroyed 6 million Jews all over Europe, mostly in Germany, and killed 11 million overall. In a way, Hitler’s goal was achieved but it was a cruel goal. He was truly a crazy person. He brainwashed people to believe that Jews were evil people and they weren’t true Germans.
The Holocaust Bryan Cheshire Grand Canyon University HIS 331 20th Century World History May 29, 2011 The Holocaust The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of approximately six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. (Museum, 2011) Adolf Hitler was sworn in as the offical Cancellor of Germany in early 1933, He was the leader behind the distruction and punishment brought out by the Holocaust.
