Ethos Pathos Logos In No News From Auschwitz

He had been to many labor camps for five years and seven months. If he had stayed at a labor camp called Stalag VIII, he would’ve starved to death like the Russian POWs did. He was forced to work on the Autobahn near Krems, Austria. The Jews were given the most dirtiest and the most dangerous jobs. Their lives were threatened, they were beaten, and they were always hungry.

The words inscribed above the Auschwitz concentration camp read; "Arbeit Macht Frei,” meaning, “work brings freedom.” These deceiving words gave unsuspecting prisoners hope that they could get out of the most destructive concentration camp during the entire Holocaust. This concentration camp would kill over one million people. Auschwitz will be fully analyzed, starting with the early stages of Auschwitz, then the Jews and the horrors of Auschwitz, and finally the final days of Auschwitz. The events that took place at Auschwitz concentration camp were horrifying and led to the death of millions.

Auschwitz was one of the most infamous and largest concentration camp known during World War II. It was located in the southwestern part of Poland commanded by Rudolf Höss. Auschwitz was first opened on June 14, 1940, much later than most of the other camps. It was in Auschwitz that the lives of so many were taken by methods of the gas chamber, crematoriums, and even from starvation and disease. These methods took "several hundreds and sometimes more than a thousand" lives a day. The majority of the lives killed were those of Jews although Gypsies, Yugoslavs, Poles, and many others of different ethnic backgrounds as well. The things most known about Auschwitz are the process people went through when entering the camp and

Carr relies heavily on the use of ethos, pathos, and logos throughout his essay. His ethos is mainly focused on connecting with the reader as a fellow human being. His logos is mainly comprised of quoting experiments and referencing historical

In Kurt’s essay he advices writers to find a subject they care about which is the logic. He then provides a reason as to why by saying “Find a subject you care about and which you in your heart feel others should care about. It is this genuine caring, and not your games with language, which will be the most compelling and seductive element in your style”. In the poem “Mending Wall”, the neighbor does not see the need for the wall and his reason is “He is all pine and I am apple orchard. My apple trees will never get across”. This is just one example of LOGOS I used but the two authors use of the rhetorical appeal can be seen throughout their work. A rhetorical technique that is used on both works in symbolism and imagery. In Mending Wall, the wall is there without a specific reason but a symbol in which the other man describes as “Good fences make good neighbors.” Kurt in his essay also uses symbolism in a way he describes cutting sentences that are not necessary comparing it to making necklaces for Cleopatra. The two works I thought shared these elements and I am sure there are other elements that can be related as

In 1940 Auschwitz was established in the suburbs of Oswiecim. Oswiecim is a Polish city that was annexed to the Third Reich by the Nazis. Auschwitz was established because there were too many Polish people in the local prisons. In 1942 Auschwitz became a death camp and it was the largest known. (http://auschwitz.org/, n.d.) The camp was expanded throughout its existence, this resulted in Auschwitz consisting of three camps. The three camps were Main Camp, Birkenau, and Monowitz. Main Camp was known as Auschwitz I, Birkenau was known as Auschwitz II, and Monowitz was known as Auschwitz III. (Preisler, n.d.) Auschwitz was liberated in 1945. “Historians and analysts estimate the number of people murdered at Auschwitz somewhere between 2.1 million

Of all of the death camps built by the Nazis during World War II, none was larger or more destructive than the terrifying Auschwitz camp. Auschwitz was built by the Nazis in 1940, in Oswiecim, Poland, and was composed of three main parts. Auschwitz I was built in June 1940 and was intended to hold and kill Polish political prisoners. Auschwitz II-Birkenau, which opened October 1941, was larger and could contain over 100,000 inmates. Auschwitz III-Monowitz provided slave labor for a plant close by. In addition, there were many sub-camps. The most important camp at Auschwitz designed for the extermination of many people was Birkenau; numerous gas chambers and crematoria were established there, mainly to murder and incinerate Jews as

It was August 6, 1945 when the first ever atomic bomb dropped on the city of Hiroshima in Japan. Three days later, another was dropped on the city of Nagasaki, Japan, leading to the surrender of Japan in World War II. The surrender wouldn't have occurred so soon if it hadn't been for President Harry Truman’s decision to use the first ever nuclear attack on another nation. His decision had changed history and the way the world worked, now meaning that nuclear power was out there at the disposal of the United States for them to use whenever they saw fit. The decision that Truman had to make was extremely difficult decision, as he was faced with a huge ethical dilemma: whether or not to kill entire cities, in order to save millions of American

Logos is the method of using graphs and charts but also using common sense. Martin Luther King uses this method to try to explain to his reasons for participating in these nonviolent protest. When he is explaining the steps in a nonviolent protest he makes alot of sense when listing the steps “ collection of the facts to determine whether injustice exists,negotiation,self purification, and direct action”(pg2). These are very logical because it list the steps to make to make an accurate

Auschwitz was a death center known for its prisoners suffering and pain. “Death was the norm,” (Elie Wiesel) in the camp. The Jews grew

We did not know that Auschwitz was an extermination camp or that we could be put to death. We did know that there was always this sickly sweet smell in the air. We saw a large chimney belching smoke 24 hours a

For example, in lines 69-76, King answers the critics questioning of his use of direct action and marches to protest against segregation. He states that “nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored” (71-73). This explanation is so broken down and easy to understand that it would not make sense to disregard it and agree with the critics. Another instance in which King uses logos is when, as mentioned above, he references the Holocaust and Hitler’s mistreatment of Jews in lines 181 to 185. He discusses how the definitions of “illegal” and “legal” were skewed during that horrific time period. King connects how the definitions in Germany during the Holocaust are similar to the definitions during the Civil Rights Movement about segregation. This appeals to the critics and readers logos because it forces them to think about how terrible the Holocaust was and the treatment of Jews, and realize that the Jews and the African-Americans were being treated in a similar sense. The way King uses logos, is very effective because he makes his ideas and points have sound reasoning while politely diminishing the reasoning of the

Survival in Auschwitz tells of the horrifying and inhuman conditions of life in the Auschwitz death camp as personally witnessed and experienced by the author, Primo Levi. Levi is an Italian Jew and chemist, who at the age of twenty-five, was arrested with an Italian resistance group and sent to the Nazi Auschwitz death camp in Poland in the end of 1943. For ten terrible months, Levi endured the cruel and inhuman death camp where men slaved away until it was time for them to die. Levi thoroughly presents the hopeless existence of the prisoners in Auschwitz, whose most basic human rights were stripped away, when in Chapter 2 he states, "Imagine now a man who is deprived of everyone he loves, and at the same time of his house, his habits,

     The Holocaust is one of the most horrifying crimes against humanity. "Hitler, in an attempt to establish the pure Aryan race, decided that all mentally ill, gypsies, non supporters of Nazism, and Jews were to be eliminated from the German population. He proceeded to reach his goal in a systematic scheme." (Bauer, 58) One of his main methods of exterminating these ‘undesirables' was through the use of concentration and death camps. In January of 1941, Adolf Hitler and his top officials decided to make their 'final solution' a reality. Their goal was to eliminate the Jews and the ‘unpure' from the entire population. Auschwitz was the largest
