Comparison Essay- Holocaust and Anti-Semitism As a field of study, history is open to different interpretations of the same events. Historians will no doubt see and understand the same event, or similar events differently. The Holocaust is one such event; Omer Bartov and James Glass each wrote different articles trying to explain the motives behind the anti-Semitism prevalent in Europe during World War Two (WWII) and the Holocaust which occurred as a direct result of that anti-Semitism. Each historian takes a different approach in explaining the same complex issue. Bartov's article, Enemies, Making Victims: Germans, Jews, and the Holocaust, focuses on long-term causes and effects of the anti-Semitism, using mostly secondary sources.

Absolute truth to what happened in the past is impossible to find, but we may be able to piece together perspectives to create a story of the historical past. The rise of memory was first sparked by the end of the Holocaust as a remembrance movement to give Jew’s their say on what happened , (Appleby et al, 3), and it progressed to the radical generation of the
Uncompromising, passionate, complex and dualistic, these are the words to describe Sophocles’ tragedy Antigone. But within the multi layer story that Sophocles has masterfully written, there is one crisis that arises that has plagued human kind and their order for years. Is it morally justifiable to subsume an individual's rights for the greater good of society? Within the pages of Antigone there comes the answer. Individual’s rights are to be respected and upheld as long as they don’t trample upon the rights of other individuals.
Explanatory Essay Since the beginning of postmodernism, literature has become a great tool to use. Especially when it is used to appropriate an historical event, such as the Holocaust. In this essay, I will explore how my narrative is an appropriation of the Holocaust, as well as the postmodern features, trends and strategies used to appropriate the event. The narrative I have composed is an appropriation of the Holocaust due to its extensive and elaborate use of postmodern features.

There cannot be an end to speaking and writing about it.” Although there is much proof of the Holocaust from museums, textbooks, videos, eyewitnesses, etc., there is an international group of “revisionlists” who disagree with the Holocaust ever taking place; they “seek to prove that the Jewish Holocaust did not happen” (Drobnicki 103). This “Holocaust denial” group not only propagates their thoughts in Arabian, German, or other foreign countries, but America as well; they use anything from newspapers to speeches to mosques to the Internet to get their point across (Lasson 224).

" Civil disobedience is most justifiable when prior lawful attempts to rectify the situation have failed; and when the acts of civil disobedience are done to force the society to recognize the problem; when performed openly and publicly; and when the actor will accept the punishment. Many proponents urge that civil disobedience be used only in the most extreme cases, arguing that the Constitution provides many opportunities to voice one's grievances without breaking the law. Opponents of civil disobedience see it as a threat to democratic society and the forerunner of violence and anarchy.
Freire led participants to take responsibility for their own development. He provokes a learning group, in which each one learns through life experiences, as device of this process. While it is true that World War II caused chaos in the world, it also expanded communication technology and forced integration in the search of solutions. William Brickman (1913-1986), researcher educator and veteran, led to the analysis of global educational systems, as key to build better education systems (Sherman, 1987).
