It displays the hate and disgust the German Nazis have for the European Jewish population. But in all the mess and murder, stands Oscar Shindler who saved the lives of more than a thousand Jewish people, at the cost of the fortune he had so longed for and set out to achieve at the beginning of the story. This was scarce to come across by the Jewish people they were surrounded by the Germans as well as their hatred. This is the source of the genocide that occurred when the working German government attempted to “exterminate” the Jews from Europe and eventually they would’ve tried on a worldwide scale if they had the chance. The process in which the Jews were rounded up concentrated, enslaved and eventually murdered was cruel and disgusting.
Instead people remained in silence, and inhumanity took over. It is important that we shall not forget this tragedy that occurred. It is far more important we should study the holocaust as well, due to the fact that hundreds and hundreds of innocent human beings lost their lives and we can't let this happen again later on in Life.` When the Jews were sent to the concentration camps, all families were separated. The Germans were not considerate at all. Because of cruel people like them
Either they are starved to death or malnutrition. More than 700 thousand jews were forced into labor in Poland. They had slaves which is illegal in most countries. The jews that messed up on their work gets killed. The jews had to be extremely careful when they work because of this.
The Nazis were so unforgiving and cruel in their ways that Jews and Minorities had to find new ways of living without becoming known to the Nazis and the German public. This prompted many to go into hiding yet for many this was to no avail as they were discovered and shipped off to concentration camps where they were forced to perform manual labor, and death camps where they were mass murdered. Adolf Hitler came into power January 30,1933 after being appointed chancellor, soon after he seized
Ellie Wiesel experiences what many people cannot even imagine is possible, at a very young age. In the death camps, the Jews are treated with a terrible lack of respect, as if they weren’t humans anymore. They worked their prisoners to death, and did many difference experiments on them to test the limits of the human body. To the leaders of the death camps, a human life mattered to them no more as a small animals life. In the death camps, the officers change the prisoners names to numbers, taking away the last thing that the prisoners could still use to remember the past, for they stripped them of every possible memory of earlier happiness.
The Jewish people were no longer trying to keep jobs or provide for their families but rather fighting for their lives. Many families resulted to hiding throughout Europe. Although a huge majority of German citizens were brainwashed by Hitler’s hatred for the Jews, some of them resisted and risked their lives to help them. “They hid in attics, basements, and cupboards so small they could barely crouch” (Harran 486). One incident of this was when a Jewish man named Yankel lived in a whole in the floor of a barn for a year when German soldiers occupied the farm itself (Harran 486).
The Holocaust in Europe all began in 1940. Adolf Hitler blamed the Jews for every problem Germany was experiencing at the time. Death camps were set up to exterminate them all and leave behind the perfect Ayrian race. Despite all the hatred toward the Jews there were still many people who did not believe in this sort of treatment. Raoul Wallenberg and Hans and Sophie Scholl were three of these good, moral souls who tried to help the Jewish people.
Jews, Hitler, the Nazi party and other German’s were involved in the holocaust. The Nazi’s decided that the Jewish race needed to be exterminated for no other reason than their ancestry and chosen religion. It first started of with discrimination; then the Jews were separated from their communities and persecuted. During the Second World War the Nazi’s were planning on killing the entire Jewish population. Of the nine million Jews who had lived in Europe at the time before the Holocaust, approximately two-thirds were perished.
Racism and prejudice have been going on for years, but what will never be forgotten is the time when the entire Jewish population went under an almost complete genocide. After the war the Germans sought for a way out of bankruptcy and starvation until one day they found it. Adolf Hitler turned the Germans against the Jewish and used them as a scapegoat out of their problem. The Germans believed that they were the superior race so they used many methods to kill the Jews such as shooting, starving, overworking and even gassing. Even though people remember the Holocaust, racism and prejudice are in a fight to be stopped.
Gas chambers are a particular sticking point: Holocaust deniers say they were purely a rumor or, if they indeed existed, were not powerful enough to kill — though evidence and history indicate otherwise. And the photographs of emaciated and dying Jews? Attorney Edgar J. Steele, a revisionist, says, "All those pictures of skinny people and bodies stacked like cordwood were actually of Czechs and Poles and Germans [who] died of typhus, which was rampant in the
