My long long journey to Jerusalem. By Verac the defiled. 24/10/1217 entry 1.1 Hearing the news Dear Diary you will never guess what happened to me today. When I went to the armory to get a new brassard the Town Crier said something that really caught my attention. He said: ‘Everyone report to the inner square in ten minutes.
“The crimes committed during the Holocaust devastated most European Jewish communities and eliminated hundreds of Jewish communities in occupied eastern Europe entirely.” (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum) There have been several attempts to measure the effects of the Holocaust. The most researched and measured effects are the psychological effects the Holocaust had on its survivors. “Clinicians made pessimistic predictions when they first began seeing Holocaust survivors as patients” (Baron and Scuello 513). After liberation survivors were left with nothing. Most of their families had been killed, and their property taken from them.
Fine Arts Funding In Public Schools I’ll always remember the first day I started taking lessons at my hometown’s local music store. I was so excited to learn how to play the violin, especially because I was only in the fourth grade. Being in the elementary school band was something I was not interested in at all. I wanted to be different and take on a more unique challenge. After a full year of experience and going in to the fifth grade, I was absolutely thrilled that my school was starting its first ever orchestra program.
Throughout the entire Bible, it mentions how important it is for us to have Christ as our Lord and Savior, so that when our time comes, and we reach Heaven, God will say “Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your Master”. (Matthew 25:23) Before this story, in Matthew 24:40 The Bible states “Then two men will be in the field: one will be taken and the other left”. This teaches us that when the time has come for Christ to come and claim His Church, only those that have accepted Him as their Savior, will be allowed into Heaven.
In his speech to the president of the United States, Mr. Wiesel described how he personally felt about the topic of indifference. He also reminded the President and the other important figures in the White House at that time about “the depressing tale of the St. Louis” (paragraph 19). For instance, he states, “[…] one thousand Jews [were aboard the St. Louis] [that] was turned back to Nazis Germany. And that happened after Kristallnacht, after the first state sponsored pogrom, with hundreds of Jewish shops destroyed, synagogues burned, thousands of people put in concentration camps. And that ship, which was already on the shores of the United States, was sent back.” His words described a prime example of indifference that took place in the violent twentieth century.
They are simply innocent victims of war who must face the consequences of their countries actions, not their own. Because of Japans attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 which killed 2,403 people (68 of which were civilians) America retaliated and decided to put an end to the war by forcing Japan to surrender. To do so, American forces, dropped two nuclear bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. This attack eventuated to the death of an estimated 200,000 Japanese civilians. Racial, ideological, political and religious conflicts that arise in countries often result in war, with many innocent people being killed in the process of fighting over who is ‘right’.
Everyone had a right to know the facts of their hero's passing, and everyone felt it differently. The Dallas Morning News headlined the following day "Kennedy Slain on Dallas Street" and gave few details to the actual assassination. Lyndon B. Johnson was sworn in as president a few hours after Kenneday passed. The newspapers declared Johnson's speedy inauguration and he then released a statement of mourning for Kennedy as the thirty sixth president. "John Fitzgerald Kennedy has been taken from us by an act which outrages decent men everywhere;" (Johnson) Johnson was able to describe how every man in America was feeling with the opening sentence of his proclamation of a national mourning day.
And in this instance, a valuable was a healthy person - so the Germans would work the prisoners until they had no more energy to produce and then kill them. In effect, that had millions of slaves being forced to work to death to help the Germans in their war efforts. This atrocity continued to the end of the war - with liberation not happening until July 1944 and later. In July 1944, the Soviet Union liberatated Maidanek concentration camp and then in January 1945 - Auschwitz concentration camp and so on until Nazi Germany was totally defeated and all peoples were freed. All told, there were only about 200,000 Jewish survivors by the end of the liberation and the death counts from the holocaust were estimated to be around 6 million Jews and millions of other people who did not fit the Aryan
American Eugenics came to an end in the 1930’s when Americans became aware of the Nazi atrocities. The Carnegie foundation, which had been funding the ERO, withdrew their support and the office closed immediately. This is when the main eugenics movement fizzled out, however some of the less extreme eugenics laws carried on until the 1970’s (Manasse). During this time, the population decreased greatly, and the culture in the United States was molded to a scientific definition of ‘perfect’. They managed to breed out a large amount of the ‘undesirables’ during this time which meant that many innocent people died.
