The Holocaust in Europe all began in 1940. Adolf Hitler blamed the Jews for every problem Germany was experiencing at the time. Death camps were set up to exterminate them all and leave behind the perfect Ayrian race. Despite all the hatred toward the Jews there were still many people who did not believe in this sort of treatment. Raoul Wallenberg and Hans and Sophie Scholl were three of these good, moral souls who tried to help the Jewish people.
Night Night is the story of a young boy named Elie Weisel, the author, growing up during the Holocaust. This nonfiction autobiography has touched the hearts of people across the world. Night tells of the hardships Jewish people had to endure, whether it was getting separated from their families are brutally beaten by Nazis. This story will-in no doubt-make you want to cry and prevent something like this from ever happening again. As Eli began getting deeper into Judism, people in his town were getting escorted by Nazis.
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
She was living in Bielitz, Poland, where she was born, and she reacts with terror as she watches her neighbors meet the invading Nazis with happiness. They were trying to hide the fact of war from Gerda’s father because he was sick and they didn’t want to worry him. When their town was invaded they couldn’t keep it a secret from him any more. Bad things started happening to the Jews, and the Nazis were taking Jewish men. In October, Gerda’s brother Arthur, was forced to leave with a Nazi and all of the other young men in town.
1. Throughout the entire film, there are constant examples of prejudice or discrimination. Some examples that I remembered the most were when stores owned by Jewish people were targeted and ransacked, when all people of the Jewish fate were forced to wear yellow stars, and when Jewish families were forced out of their homes and into cramped death camps. When I was watching the film, I constantly tried to picture what it must have been like to be them. I could not imagine the pain that those people must have felt when they were forced to wear special tags just because they believed in something different.
The jewish man pretended to be a Nazi slave and said he was taking orders from an officer to clear the streets, even though he lied, it saved him from being shot, or taken away to a Labor Camp because he was scared. He had made a very smart decision. Another example of this was when all the jews were being split up into lines. The Nazis knew the good lines and the bad lines. One of the younger Nazi soliders helping the jews, would put them in the good lines.
Some Jews tried to fight for their rights. The most famous revolt was the Warsaw Revolt in Warsaw, Poland which lasted 28 days. After the Jews were sent to the camps some of them were taken to gas chambers and were killed with deadly gas. After the war the camps were turned into memorials and museums. The conditions at these camps were beyond comprehension.
When he returns, he tells the villagers about how he has miraculously escaped from his torturers. The villagers and Elie don’t believe Moishe the Beadle’s story and think that he is delusional.

Outline ] I. Paul teaching were always ridicuded with good reason, though he was Jewish; Paul was a non-believer. He was the one who persecuted the Jews. Acts8:1 1 And Saul approved of their killing him. On that day a great persecution broke out against the church in Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. A Who would believe his teachings?
