Although there seemed like no way out of death camps, a few rebellions took place in some famous death camps. The method of killing the prisoners in death camps was typically poison gas. (Wikipedia, 2008) Germans use the poison gas from a chemical company called BASF. The people who were too weak to work were sent to the gas chambers to be killed. (Judaism, 2008) The gas chambers had small windows for Nazis to watch the prisoners die.
There were so many crematoriums during World War II that the Nazis had developed. The Jews were placed in the crematoriums as a way of disposing them. During the holocaust, there were many gruesome types of deaths that the Nazis inflicted upon the Jews. The most common course of action the Nazi Officers took exterminating the Jewish people were the process of using a poisonous gas (Danish page 2). The Nazis used a type of gas labeled Zyklon B.
Hans and Rosa began to hide a Jewish man, Max Vandenburg, in their basement until Hans made a mistake that forced Max to leave before the authorities came and found him. Alex Steiner, Rudy’s father, also made a mistake that threatened the authority of the Nazi party and he and Hans were drafted into the military. Hans broke his leg and was allowed to come back home to Molching. Late one night, while Liesel was in their basement writing an autobiography, the poorer part of Molching was bombed, where she happened to live and everyone was killed, except Liesel. First of all, the book provided me with many, somewhat random out of context, but interesting facts about what went on outside of the fictional story of Liesel Meminger.
Hitler captured people in his speeches with his promises of a better Germany, but he also taught his hatred of Jews in the process. “It was Hitler’s belief that the Jews had too much money, land and the power of the press.” (library.thinkquest.org) Hitler caused mass hysteria against Jews by creating this frame of mind that they were the cause of all things bad just like Abigail and her posse did to Salem. Unfortunately, the people who are completely innocent in these cases get punished the most. In both the Salem witch trials and the Holocaust many people were killed who were not
“I’m nearly dead of it,” (Tolkien 104) Bilbo said a little upset after Gandalf told The Great Eagle that they were starving. Victor suffered after the horrible murders and deaths of each and every one of his loved ones. This happened several times in the book so he was also miserable quite a bit. Another time was while he was on his journey to find the monster. He stated, “I have endured misery,” (Shelley 206) because he was travelling over dangerous grounds with little food.
Under Joseph Stalin, millions of prisoners in these camps died from starvation and abuse.” Ivan Denisovich, a survivor of these has gone through these camps for ten years. Many people could not endure this type of pain, bur Ivan did. Overall Ivan has gone through things people shouldn’t have to. Not many people know about the gulags, but they should because these people went through the same amount of pain as the holocaust. Ivan was beat senselessly and one could not even begin to imagine what they went through.
Their reasoning was the horrible event that occurred, the Holocaust, was simply that the Jewish people were worth nothing and they felt that they were worth everything. The events that occurred were total cruelty, and very
The Holocaust museums takes the viewer into the life of a Jew during these darker times. Adolph Hitler is probably one of the worst people ever to live. When people talk of evil deeds he is at the top of the list. He was a man of words, and could use them to his advantage. He had an ability to talk and make the Germans believe that the Jews were the reason for the problems in their country; so he gave them the idea to move
The death camps were mentally inhumane on the prisoners; especially during the first few days because most inmates had some to all of their family taken away and killed. The camps tore families apart and people watched as their loved ones left to be killed. Elie Wiesel talks about the last time he saw his mother and sister and how when he left the train he and the others were forced into groups with, “‘Men to the left! Women to the right’ Eight words spoken quietly in differently, without emotion. Eight simple short words, yet that was the moment when I left my mother… I didn’t know that this was the moment in time and the place where I was leaving my mother and Tzipora forever” (Wiesel 29).
The poet has described the gruesome reality of the first nuclear explosion and its power to destroy the whole human race. This bombing wiped out two cities and millions died. However, Japan endured the calamity, rose up, (bit by bit my strength/Seemed to revive) and rebuilt their shattered city and their world. Thus, we can conclude that “A Doctor’s Journal Entry for August 6, 1945” is an anti-war poem. It talks about
