Concentration Camp Reflection

Hundreds and thousands of people are shoved into a confined space, very few resources are granted to them. The little money that they have left can barely buy food for a week. The rations that are provided for several days barely can last one. These people are forced to perform backbreaking labor, and those who cannot work, do not get to eat and thus cannot survive. This is what the Jews of Europe experienced in the Ghettos. This stage of the Holocaust is not the first thing that comes to mind when it comes to this period of history. This part of the Jewish Holocaust narrative is arguably one of the most fascinating and beautiful shows of resistance against the Nazi murderers. The Jews lived in over-crowded, dilapidated apartments where sanitation was poor and diseases spread like wildfire. They were forced into labor, oppressed on the streets and starved by the establishment. Yet against all the odds, the Jews were able to cope with the dire situation that they were presented. They maintained a struggle against the Nazi regime. That struggle was the maintenance of some sort of humanity in the Ghettos. Whether it was the physical struggle, like the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943, or cultural struggle through the arts, the Jews did not go like sheep to the slaughter.

It’s 1941, the smell is fowl, the scene is horrifying, and there’s so much fear in the air. There are thousands of innocent people just like me here kept as prisoners. They are being forced to stay here and work because they are considered as Jews. They have been separated from their loved ones and they have the fear they may not be reunited. These poor people are fighting for survival and are barely alive.

This camp, I can’t explain to you the amount of people and sickness that is in Haftling Lager camp (Bergen-Belsen Holocaust). There are so many people dying every day of sickness and hunger, there is very little food and water (Bergen-Belsen Holocaust). There are bodies everywhere, just lying on the ground rotting, they didn’t even bother to bury them (Bergen-Belsen Eastern). There were so many dying in here that they moved some of us out to a new camp called Sternen Lager or “Star” camp as most people call it, (Bergen-Belsen Holocaust) it is better than the last camp I was at, there are about 4,100 Jews alone (Bergen-Belsen

People that survived the Holocaust were optimistic and/or hid but today most are guilty. They have guilt in them because they survived while others were dying amongst them.Surviving World War II meant freedom but many did not get to that point, unfortunately. They were brutally murdered or died either from working too much , starvation, and/ or diseases that spread like wildfire. Unbelievably, smells from the gas chambers, where victims were poisoned with gasses, are still present at concentration camps locations . Many survivors have never been able to get over this horrific event that took place because of the terrifying memories from the camps. Memories of how ruthlessly people were being killed, disgusting food, and the hard work, haunt

Holocaust survivor, Anne Frank, once said, “If we bear all this suffering and if there are still Jews left, when it is over, then Jews, instead of being doomed, will be held up as an example” (“Auschwitz concentration camps”“). Throughout the Holocaust millions died. The Jews were put into ghetto’s before being boarded to concentration camps. Concentration camps were cruel and killed large sums of people. The ghettos were cramped and didn’t range very far, and possessed Horribly living conditions. The Holocaust was a gigantic slaughter fest, life was terrible for Jews during the holocaust.

Hunger. Pain. This is all the Jews feel as they walk through the mud and muck. “Will this ever end”, they think. A few days pass and there are less of them. They can see the smoke rise in the distance; smell the stench of burning flesh. Their bones stick out in sharp angles. Their stomachs ache with the need for food. Months pass and it’s the same routine. Walk. Pain. Work. Hunger. Sleep. Die. All these people know is this. They start to lose hope. Many have died. Many have lost all of their family members. Their children. They start to believe that it will never end. Then, salvation. Soldiers storm the camp. They gather them up. They save them. This is what millions of people went through during World War II, when the Nazis forced them into

The experiences of a Jewish person sent to a concentration camp run by the Nazis were harsh and horrific. These people were mistreated, lived in fear, lost their sense of freedom, dehumanized, lacked sanitation and were forced to do labor work.

The Holocaust was one of the most brutal, dehumanizing events in the world. American history explains how the United states fought for liberation of the many occupied by the Nazis. Throughout my years in school, I have learned about this topic, but not in detail. I had the chance to watch an amazing documentary titled One Day in Auschwitz. It featured a woman named Kitty Hart-Moxon, a Holocaust survivor of Polish-English background. Separated from her family, she was thrown into the well-known death camp, Auschwitz. She described her story of survival to two young girls; they were the same age as Kitty was during that time.

This is why we choose hiding not to make the Nazis mad, but to be a little safer. Also, to spend more time with my family. No Jews would ever want to suffer as much as they did in camps. Even if it's a camp either way you are gonna die. Families were separated some to the left and some to the right. Every Jewish were facing consequences for the crimes they didn’t do. Other thing is that they lost their

After reading all the research about the Holocaust, I thought to myself I can't imagine being in a concentration camp and having my family there too. I am so happy to be living in America today because no matter what color skin you are or religion you are we can all get along together. I really hope this never happens again. Just make sure that every morning you wake up and appreciate the freedom you

I know things have been hard as I sit, across from the concentration camps . Everyday I see people come in for days without leaving. It truly does scare me sister. I hope that you are far away as possible from this catastrophe . It is a blistering sight to behold, all of my fellow friends being shot in front of me day by day. I don’t think ill have enough will power to keep fighting for my right as a Jew. I am fearful of the gas chambers , they have been rumored to be long and painful.

According to the texts and eyewitness accounts, the Holocaust had horrendous effects on the people who lived through it. During this time Jews were being rounded up and put into concentration camps by order of the German government. Writings and testimonies from survivors of the Holocaust are around even to this day. According to these sources, Holocaust survivors suffered tremendously since they were treated as less than human , they lost loved ones, and were constantly abused.

Why moderation is considered an importance in the soul and utopia city? Socrates says in the Republic of Plato that there are four basic virtues that are required for a noble life in the just city. These four basic virtues are: wisdom, courage, moderation, and just.1 Specifically, in book IV of the Republic of Plato, three of the four virtues are discussed by Socrates. Out of the three, moderation is the up most important.

It is obvious that women and men have play different roles in advertising. Men are portrayed as the dominant figure, while women are portrayed weak or as objects. For example, in this ad the male figure is taller and his face doesn’t have as much lighting as the female figure. Appearing in 1961, a time remembered by family values and consumerism, this ad for a Kenwood Chef food processor uses the stereotype of women being at the disposal of men. The audience is singled out through the text in the ad itself, which reads “I’m giving my wife a Kenwood Chef.” As men working was the main source of income for the average family in the 60s, the obvious

The death penalty is a very controversial topic. Although there is a lot of evidence supporting both sides, over half of Americans are for capital punishment in some shape or form, but what causes someone to be sentenced to death? According to the article, “Against the American System of Capital Punishment” by Jack Greenberg, the worst crime is “a putative killer of one’s parent or child” (Greenberg). What makes this so much worse than any other crime? And, of the few executions, how many of these people are getting executed for the worst crime? Some people say the death penalty should continue and there should be more executions, but personally, I think it should be banned in all states. Through the history of my brother in law to what the law actually states the death penalty should no longer be in place.
