Book Review: We Remember The Holocaust

The definition of the concept human rights can differ for each person. The basic definition of human rights is the rights each person deserves to live their life in an equal and just society regardless of where they live, what they believe in, or the color of their skin. The years between 1933 and 1945, post-World War I, is sometimes viewed as the worst decade in history. The Holocaust, was a big reason for this belief. Holo meaning whole, and Kaustos meaning burned or burning was the phrase used to describe this horrific genocide . Should there be limits to state sovereignty when basic human rights are threatened by genocide? It began around 1933, when people in Germany, Poland, and many other places in Europe, started to separate

After a long period of time, Irena was reunited with her family. She believed it was one of her happiest day because while she was away she only thought about her family. The family decided to tell what happened after they were separated. Irene told them she raped and abused and her family told her how they were slaves to the Germans. While she was exploring Radom, she noticed everything was different now. Street names were changed, posters that were cruel and mocking were on the walls, violence on the streets, and fences with barbed wire. Her sister, Janine told her “Glinice ghetto” held Jews from Radom and the surroundings countryside. Irene was unsure what happened to the ones who were captured, but Janine did no longer want to explain. Sadly, the reunion with her family did not last for a

I’ve found that there’s many creations regarding the Holocaust; it’s never letting us forget the atrocities of it’s past. It’s something we should recognize because it had an enormous impact to us and the ones around us. Not only should it be recognized for the impact it created, but it should be taught to us because we wouldn’t want this such tragedy to be repeated.

Literature can help us remember the Holocaust by elaborating us about the victims and what they went through. From various different texts they support how literature can help us remember World War II and to honor the victims of the Holocaust.

The Holocaust. This book is a must-read for many English classrooms as it is a very deep book that shows many examples of paradigm shifts, and it also shows how characteristics of people change over time. It shows the Jewish side of the holocaust and the treatment that they received from the Germans, who were less than hospitable. The story focuses on Elie Wiesel, his father, and the Jews of the camp. There were many times that they were dehumanized in the story, and they affected Elie’s mindset in ways that stayed with him long past his time in the camps.

Everyone knows about the holocaust, but very few people truly understand the damages done and the extent of it. Since a detailed, first person account of the holocaust will teach us about history, Night is the most powerful book on the holocaust. It is the most important book because of its gresome detail, how the holocast got started, and how it shows the complete and total breakdown of a human thorugh the years.

This book was effective and achieved the purpose of describing the Holocaust in a personal and relative manner. I do not think anyone who reads this book does not finish it with a better understanding of what the victims of concentration camps experienced. This book

•The most famous book in the Holocaust was written by a 13 year old girl, and it has been read by 10 million people.

Elie Wiesel experienced several horrors throughout the Holocaust. As a boy, he lost his family and his faith in his own religion because of the mass slaughter of six million Jews along with several different races and religions. Elie describes scenes that a fifteen year old child should never have to see such as frantic families lined up for a death in fire, bodies crushed all over as people ran them over, and babies being thrown into pits of fire.

The quote by Wiesel has a deep meaning that can impact what people have learned about the holocaust. The Jewish holocaust was a devastating event that affected a worldwide number of people then and now. It had come to a point during the holocaust where “fear was greater than hunger” (Wiesel 59) during those times. The words written by Wiesel is indicating that the fear of death and misfortune was far greater than hunger. When people hear the word holocaust they think of how tragic it is, but they do not know true essence of what the survivors had to go through. When discussing the holocaust we learn that the Jews were downsized to animals “faster, you filthy dogs” (Wiesel 85). Jew and non-Jews in the concentration camps began to lose a sense

The Holocaust was the systematic killing and extermination of millions of Jews and other Europeans by the German Nazi state between 1939 and 1945. Innocent Europeans were forced from their homes into concentration camps, executed violently, and used for medical experiments. The Nazis believed their acts against this innocent society were justified when hate was the motivating factor. The Holocaust illustrates the consequences of prejudice, racism, and stereotyping on a society. It forces societies to examine the responsibility and role of citizenship, in addition to approaching the powerful ramifications of indifference and inaction. (Holden Congressional Record). Despite the adverse treatment of the Jews, there are lessons that can be learned from the Holocaust: The Nazi’s rise to power could have been prevented, the act of genocide was influenced by hate, and the remembrance of the Holocaust is of the utmost importance for humanity.

The subject of whether the Holocaust should be taught to younger students has been debated for a long time. Many people think it is a too gruesome topic to teach about while others think people should know what happened in the past and how to avoid it in the future. This essay is on the latter’s side. Some people don't understand how bad the past was and they need to know so that history doesn't repeat itself. There are many reasons why to teach the Holocaust to younger students.

“The Shawl” is a historical short story written by Cynthia Ozick and was published in 1989. Cynthia Ozick set the story back in 1940 when Jews were oppressed politically and socially and eventually confined throughout Eastern Europe. The author’s intentions were to circulate the short story around the horrific effects of the Holocaust. The main character in “The Shawl” is a Jewish woman named Rosa, a victim of the Holocaust. Also, featured in the short story were two Jewish girls named Stella, Rosa’s niece, and Magda, Rosa’s daughter.

This paper will examine and analyze the turning points in the construction of Jewish memory and the identity in Israel as influenced by and based on the events of the Holocaust.
