And they were senselessly murdered just because they were different. Nothing today can compare to the holocaust because it was so massive and unforgettable. But the holocaust has taught us about how people need to treat each other. If people start to treat each other like the Nazis did the Jews there is no stopping another holocaust from happening again. The Nazis were judgmental raciest and disgusting people who hated anyone who was different then them.
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.
They orchestrated the majority of the Holocaust; the solution to the “Jewish question” as it was called by German forces (USHMM: SS and the Holocaust). The SS were known for their harsh, merciless brutality toward the prisoners in concentration camps and often abused them simply for their own personal enjoyment. The SS are covered extensively in the memoir Night by Elie Wiesel and other accounts of the Holocaust, and their acts can be divided into categories; including their rise to and fall from power, key figures in the establishment of the SS, and the treatment of prisoners at concentration camps. One category with major significance is the Nazis’ rise to and fall from power. The Nazis rose to governmental power through a long, thought-out series of actions that turned Hitler’s leadership into a dictatorship and started the Holocaust and World War II.
During this event Speer and Hitler became close friends and when Troost died in 1934, Speer filled his position as the Party’s Chief Architect. The most prestigious of Speer architectural assignments was the Germania Project of 1937. The plan was based on Hitler’s perception that Germany was the most powerful country in the world. With this assignment, he was named First Architect of the Reich. The assignment involved the design of a new Reich Chancellery and the destruction of thousands of Jewish homes.

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.
For some it was the worst day imaginable, the most terrible thing ever experienced. As if having a bad dream that they wanted to be awakened from. Six-million lives taken, that’s including women, men, boys, and girls; they were massacred, sacrificed by fire. This paper will detail the bloodthirsty, nonsensical, catastrophic events of The Holocaust and the agitators (Adolf Hitler and the Nazis) who came to supremacy in January 1933. Germans believed that they were racially superior and any other race was inferior to them.
When you start a rumor, it can hurt someone and sometimes it gets out of hand. This is what happened during the Holocaust. The Nazi’s started a rumor that the Jews were the reason they lost the war, because they (Jews), were an inferior race, according to Adolf Hitler. This is how Hitler started his rumor and plan to get rid of all people that were “inferior” and begin a “Perfect” race. Some-times people make wrong choices by judging others without really knowing them.
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.
Picture yourself being ripped from your home and family, losing all dignity and being transported to god knows where? Imagine having everything you worked hard for taken away in a second and then not given a response as to why it is happening. This happened to the Jewish people and others who were looked at by Hitler as undesirables. Approximately 11 million people perished during the Holocaust. As time goes by, and more and more survivors are dying, so is the memory of Holocaust.
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. This tragic event in history was all due to Hitler’s need to cast blame upon anyone. Considering Germany needed someone to blame for all the distruction, the Jewish people were the perfect target. Hitler set his sights on distroying the Jewish race, he looked at the Jewish People
