Domino Effect: A Change In Shaping History

Germans or members of the Jüdischer Ordnungsdienst, Jewish police, consistently guarded the streets of the ghetto. The Jewish police were usually individuals that served a community role prior to entrance into the ghetto and were assigned duties mainly to prevent any resistance uprising. In the event a conflict did occur, the losses endured would be Jewish and not German. Members of the Judenrät, the Jewish council assigned to assist in self-government, were required to consolidate the lists of individuals to be deported. Many individuals of the council and police stayed grounded in their faith and were honest to their own people; however, many also turned in favor of their own lives. In Memoirs, Elie Weisel talks about how there was minimal corruption within the Judenrät within in Sighet. “I don’t know of a single case in which anyone is alleged to have been beaten or humiliated by the Jewish police or Judenrät” (qtd. in

The lives of the people in Berlin were impacted by a result of hostility, making

First of all, history is influential because it teaches people in groups, individuals, or as nations how humans perceive a complicated situation. Furthermore, how humans solve these complications is something we are also taught. In this

Through history, there has been revolutions that have affected the world in many different ways. There is two kind of revolutions political revolutions ,that are changes to the government, and non political revolution, that are intellectual, economic or social changes. The non political revolutions are important because they had shaped the way we all think, act and work in the actuality. Some of those non political revolutions are the enlightenment that was a change in the way that everybody thinked; and the Industrial revolution in Europe that changed the way goods were produced.

In line with Source C, “Some Were Neighbors”, “Many local studies and telling research on economic plundering as it spread complicity through broad segments of society within Germany and other countries, has put ‘the social dimension of the persecution of the Jews into the spotlight’” (USHMM Article). Certainly, the Nazis’ maniacal behavior put their hostility towards the Jews into notice. They felt that their economy was feeble because of the Jews, whom they blamed. In agreement with Source D, “Facing Hatred During Kristallnacht”, “He was screaming at me, and in such a rage, I could hardly understand a word. What had I done, I wondered. Had I dropped some glass on him … ‘Jewpigs… murderers … filthy cowards … killed … good German'” (Zeller Article). Unquestionably, when the officer was yelling at Young Zeller, he gave his people names such as Jewpigs, murderers, and filthy cowards. With regard to “murderers”, the officer indicated that Zeller’s people were troublemakers. Hence, the officers blamed Jews for everything that is happening. For them, if it wasn’t for the crimes the Jews had committed thousands of years ago, the Holocaust would have never

In the history of the world, there have come many such kinds of incidents that have changed the whole map of the history. In about every nation, there have occurred a lot of surprising events which distinguish that nation from the other one. So history of the world is so much rich when we take a close look at it.

At 1:20 a.m. All over Germany, Austria and other Nazi controlled areas, Jewish shops and department stores had their windows smashed and contents destroyed. Synagogues were especially targeted for vandalism, including desecration of sacred Torah scrolls. Hundreds of synagogues were systematically burned while local fire departments stood by or simply prevented the fire from spreading to surrounding buildings. Regarding the economic impact of the damage from Kristallnacht and the resulting massive insurance claims, Hermann Göring stated the Jews themselves would be paying for the damage that happened during Kristallnacht. Goebbels told the nazis to stop attacking at 5:00 the 10th of November. The rioters burnt over 1,000 Synogogues, 30,000 Jewish men were arrested to work in concentration camps, 91 people were killed not counting the suicides, and the stores that weren't destroyed, were boycotted over 100,000 stores. Hitler still thought he wasn't successful enough with the Jewish Problem, therefor there was a second solution. The second solution succeeded more in the Jewish problem since the effects of Kristallnacht lead to a large amount of emigration of Jews from Germany. (Kristallnacht- the Night of Broken

Women and children were beat and men were murdered and rounded up to go to concentration camps. These attacks came after Herschel Grynszpan shot a member of the German Embassy. In two days, over 250 synagogues we burned, 7,000 Jewish businesses were looted and dozens of Jewish people were killed.

How does this event present a connection with how the modern world works today. what impact did it leave on everything.

Another slap in the face was Kristallnacht or the “The Night of the Broken Glass”. This was an organized Nazi raid upon Synagogues, Jewish homes, and even Jews themselves. Many synagogues were burned to the ground, and fire departments did nothing, or they made sure the fires did not spread to nearby non-Jewish homes. Any insurance claims that were made, the state of Germany confiscated, and the Jews were ordered to actually pay one billion marks for that night.

There is something that can be distinguished between events such as wars that happen and chances for the Empire to take a new direction. Then there is structural change where per Ward-Perkins “individuals and concatenations of events, all of which might have gone differently, are seen as central to human history” (Heather, Peter, and Bryan Ward-Perkins). This is what Ward-Perkins has theorized as “modern thinking” where we are taught to remember names and

Throughout United States history, several presidents have stood out for making a big impact on shaping the foundation the nation was built on. Thomas Jefferson was elected as the nation’s third president in 1800 and served two terms (249). Andrew Jackson was elected as the nation’s seventh president in 1828 and also served two terms (349). Both presidents ultimately held the same ideals. Jackson actually considered himself a Jeffersonian Republican, although Jefferson did not particularly like Jackson (332). Jackson’s party title changed because the political party system during his election consisted of his supporters, who called themselves the Democratic Republicans, the Democrats, or the Jacksonian Democrats. The opposition called themselves the National Republicans (324). Both presidents were their party leaders. These two presidents were similar in their ability to make a big impact on American history. Jefferson and Jackson were more alike as presidents than they were different through their actions to support an agrarian republic, their desire to uphold states’ rights by shrinking the federal government, and their belief in a strict interpretation of the Constitution.

Cause and effect. Cause and effect. The way of life is simply cause and effect. Domino reactions determine the outcome of the following event. It is safe to say, if England would have defeated the French and Indians during the French and Indian War (7 Years War), England would have won the American Revolutionary War. Although for this win, there would be a cost of strategy, a need for alliance, and a sense of unity.

The main sources for this book consist of archival documents and court records of the Holocaust. The specific testimony, court records, investigation records, and prosecution documents of members of the Reserve Police Battalion 101 members are used as sources. In this book, Christopher Browning shows in minute detail the sequence of events and individual reactions that turn ordinary men into killers. His arguments make sense. He makes no unwarranted assumptions. The cause and effect statements made and arguments presented are logical and well developed. Ordinary Men by Christopher Browning accounts for the actions of the German Order Police (more specifically the actions of Reserve Police Battalion 101 in Poland) and the role they played in the Second World War during the Jewish Holocaust. Police Battalion 101 was composed of veterans from World War One and men too old to be

Anti-Jewish measures and pogroms have taken place numerous times throughout history, but never to the extent and successfulness attained by the Third Reich. A clear reason for this level of success can
