This demonstrates how the Holocaust destroyed families being together, and how it affected how history developed through the years. In addition, the Holocaust shouldn't be forgotten because it made people aware of tyrant leaders. For example, when the SS men stripped the Jews, "An SS came towards us wielding a club. He commanded: 'Men to the left! Women to the right!'
Not only were the Jewish people killed, but Hitler and his group of supporters weren’t happy with that. They wiped out the mentally ill and the physically handicapped. Hitler remarked them "un worthy of life." The Nazi’s even kidnapped children with a German origin to Germany. Catholic priests and nuns were also Nazi targets.
The Holocaust was the systematic genocide of Jews and other undesirables by the Nazis in German-occupied areas of Europe. Some Nazi practices were forcing Jews to live in concentration camps or ghettos, as well as murdering them in numerous ways. Policies included the Nuremburg Laws, which stripped the rights of Jews. Resistance against these activities did not necessarily involve violence; there were both violent and passive ways in which the Jews chose to resist Nazi policies and practices. Many Jewish people chose to use violent opposition as resistance to the actions of the Germans.
But Germans blamed it for signing the Versailles treaty and for hunger and unemployment. Hitler set up a fascist style party called the Nazi party. Hitler wanted to tear up the Versailles treaty and unite all Germans so they could form a great German empire. He blamed the Jews and the communists for Germany’s troubles and wanted to destroy them. When the Great Depression 1929 forced many factories to close, desperate Germans voted for the Nazi party.
The consequences of Kristallnatch, the event in Germany was rejected by various and praised by others, many governments cut off relations with Germany in protest. The Jews who remained in Germany were forced to pay a fine of one billion marks for the damage in kristallnatch, Jewish children were not accepted in schools and there was a mass escape of Jews living in territories ruled by the 3rd Reich. As we saw the Kristallnatch was not a spontaneous act but an act orchestrated by the nazis who had been waiting for the right occasion to performed it, with that act the Nazis declared an
The Nazis were a political party in Germany at the time of the Second World War, and they were ruled by a man named Adolf Hitler. Hitler believed that the Great World War was the result of Jews and that they lost the war because of the Jews. Hitler wanted to get rid of anyone who was Jew; this resulted in an event called the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a very unique event. It evolved around 1933 and 1945.
The Holocaust was a tragic event in history. Approximately 11 million lives were lost because of cruel racial prejudice. During the first half of the 20th century, the Nazi party, led by Adolf Hitler, encouraged prejudice against Jews and other "undesirables" such as gypsies, homosexuals, the mentally ill, or physically disabled;. The Nazis developed a plan to get rid of all the Jews. They decided the most efficient way of doing this was to set up camps to exterminate their existence so they would not pass on their genes and disrupt the Nazis' quest for the perfect race.
Envy has led to various cruel and inhumane actions such as the Holocaust during World War II. This feeling of discontent and longing, aroused by someone else’s possessions, qualities, or luck, has come to ruin human nature and has brought destruction to particular ethnic and religious groups. In some countries, envy has led to the dehumanization of its inhabitants. During the 1940s, the Jews were the victims of both hatred and envy. The Jews were forced out of their homes, separated from their families, and put in concentration camps working in intolerant conditions for the Nazis.
Why does the name “Holocaust” disturb us so much? Maybe it is because of the inhumane way the Nazis treated the Jews, perhaps like Moshe said this event really was a “failure of humanity” Nazis stripped identities and rights away from Jews. Jews were dehumanized and their identities were taken away, they were violated both physically and mentally. But what has the rest of the world done? What were they doing while these people were getting stepped on?
“…And You Shall Teach Your Children”: Holocaust Denial and The Importance of Education The Holocaust illustrates how silence and indifference to the suffering of others, can however unintentionally, serve to perpetuate the problem. It is an unparalleled event in history that brings to life the horrors of racism, prejudice, and anti-Semitism, as well as the capacity for human evil. The Nazis were the original deniers of the Holocaust. Though, at the beginning they documented every killing and every policy, this was all done in secret and via code words (united states holocaust museum). Once it became clear that they were not going to win the war they made it their very mission to destroy every piece of evidence and documentation that called for the extermination of the Jewish people.
