Many Jewish people chose to use violent opposition as resistance to the actions of the Germans. This was undertaken in both ghettos and concentration camps. In a number of ghettos, Jewish communities used violence resistance against Nazi activities. Source A is an account of Jewish defiance in the Warsaw ghetto against the Nazis . The Nazis wished to deport the Jews to Treblinka extermination camp and liquidate the ghetto, and the source demonstrates the Jewish opposition to the genocide of their race.
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
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.
This is evident when David held her tightly and whispered “God, I’m sorry”. ‘ What could have made him want to hurt the girl, the one he really still loved?’ Therefore characters in the wave saw the positive and negative effects of The Wave but still they chose the wrong path and peer pressured those who weren’t members with incensement of social pressure they managed to get the whole school. Initially, Morton Rhue indicates the reader to the policy of social pressure in Nazi Germany. To kick off the novel , Mr Ross exhibits a video of the German Nazi and how they killed millions of thousands of Jews, taking them to concentration camps and killing them with no accurate reason just out of anger and furious. “They could see gas chambers now, and the piles of bodies laid out like stove wood”.
Appalled is one word that can describe my initial reaction towards the cruelty presented in the autobiography Night by Eliezer Wiesel, and the films, “Jakob the Liar” and “The Last Days”. Though I had some previous knowledge about the Holocaust, my eyes were pried open to the horrific and despicable events that human beings did to other human beings. I honestly ask, ‘How could people do that to others?’ People in concentration camps had to aide in the murder of others, often friends or family; people were not given food or water; and people were treated like ‘lab rats’ and were used for sick experiments. Through the two films and the novel, I was educated about the cruelty that some people possess, and how some humans can still find the strength
This plan of persecution and discrimination was carried out in multiple stages. First, various laws, were enacted in Nazi Germany before World War II broke out, in order to remove the Jews from civil society. Next, concentration camps were established.

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.

Adolf Hitler, in his own cruel way, wanted to make the world a better place at the cost of their extermination, as well as others he thought were inferior to his superior, Aryan, race. Over six million Jewish people were killed in his unsuccessful attempt. However, he was successful in making a long lasting, detrimental imprint on society.
In the Nazi camps such as Auswich there was an environment of public opinion that encouraged racism and hate crimes. These conditions allowed further steps of dehumanization to be put on the Jews which permitted the guards to commit violent and racist acts. This was shown in Maus regard the way Mandelbaum was killed “On the walk to work, a guard grabbed his cap away. So what could he do? He ran to pick it up.
He tortured and killed millions of people, but he targeted the Jewish people because he thought of them worthless. He created concentration camps for the Jews; he made them
