While walking in to an art gallery, everyone had a moment of stopping in their tracks to be memorized by a painting or a drawing. Only to think about what that art is about and the meaning behind it. Especially at a holocaust museum. There are many works of art about the holocaust. The prisoners had a life story to share. Also, the people who did the art works had to be careful, not to be caught by the Germans. The reason for this, was it was illegal to draw what's actually happening in the camps. Few of the prisoners were "privileged" to make art for the Germans, to only draw or paint what the Germans say. The prisoners were only chosen, because they were talented enough. But for the prisoners who weren't "privileged" had to be smart, by …show more content…
She was a woman who taught 600 out of 15000 children to draw out their emotions. She used her raw material she brought with her when she arrived. She stayed joyful for the children's sake. She went to Auschwitz in October 1994, where she perished, with thousands and thousands of children. For example, Liana Franklova (13), Ruth Cechova (13), Josef Pollak (9), Panel Sonnenscein (11), and Petr Weidmann (12). Only having 100 surviving children, like Helga Weissova. From Dicker helping the children, she saved 5,000 artworks of the children's emotions and dreams. With the kids only being under 14, with little knowledge of what's going on. Only taking comfort of others and doing what others say.The children would draw what they see or wishing they were somewhere else. From these drawing we know who these kids were and what they experience. For example, they would draw about family, homes, or what they do during the days. The kids were defenseless and scare, but one woman changed that.
The Holocaust happening and the art that came with the horrors, we can use the art for proof and to help us understand. We have many examples of brave men and women showing us in different ways. Yet, we will never know what the prisoners went through and what they felt. With all the art of the Holocaust, we have proof that it did happened and the horrors that the prisoners faced, young to old. With all this knowledge we will never forget about the ones who died and suffered. We have the artist art that shows us their story and what they went
The news of terror in Germany immediately made its way to Eleanor Roosevelt, who presented a document seeking that human rights to be enjoyed by all people. In Articles 3 and 5 the document states that “everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of person…” and that “no one shall be subjected to torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment” (Document 6). These are statements to ensure that everyone had the freedoms a human deserves. These orders clearly weren’t upheld during the Holocaust, and that is exactly why peacemakers vowed to fix these problems and never let history repeat itself. The desire for peace was presented in numerous ways, and one way is through art. A memorial at Dachau, a former concentration camp where Jews were killed during the Holocaust, illustrates the cry for help the world set out (Document 7). In the languages Hebrew, French, English, German and Russian, the monument says the words “Never Again.” These two words spelled out in five different languages is demonstrating the fact that universally, we should never see anything more terrifying as the Holocaust, never
The Holocaust was a very important tragic event that occurred in history. Many of the stories belonging to the jews were lost and never told, many of the innocent souls were unknown, but never forgotten. For years, people have tried to dig up these stories and explain it to many generations, because the Holocaust wasn't something to be forgotten about or left unknown. Sometimes it is hard to understand the truth without a visual. Movies such as Schindler’s list or books such as Maus try to give a message as well as a visual to better understand the content.
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.
Elie Wiesel’s purpose for telling his story was to let everyone know how life was during the holocaust and he is talking about how he does not want this to happen again. During the Nobel Prize Speech he explains various things that happened during the holocaust.

For many educated people learning about the Holocaust can send them feelings of sorrow or deep remource. Not only for the meaning of the word, but why it is called that. The pure evil of the final solution created thought of and created by none other than Adolf Hitler will never stop haunting people more than half a decade later. One of the prominat things that everyone missed in his highly sold auto-biography "My struggle". The thought of solid hatrid found within the cover of the horiable book will always burn in the souls that it harmed from the day it began till the dawn of today.
The Holocaust was the worst genocide in history. The obstacles people went through would almost kill them. It is important people know about this topic so they do not make the same mistake again. Studies have shown that 5 in 10 millennials do not know about Auschwitz, let alone the Holocaust (CBS News). Many European countries have made Holocaust denial illegal. Obstacles were overcome in many Holocaust books/videos including PAPER CLIPS, multiple childrens books, THE BOY IN THE STRIPED PAJAMAS, and THE BOOK THIEF.
"This is a humbling and deeply disturbing subject for anyone who approaches it, yet we have to learn the history of the Holocaust, to know it as best we can. Remembering the Holocaust and understanding how it came about is part of making sure it never happens ag
At the concentration camps, the Jews and prisoners had high hopes of being free and that the holocaust would blow over within a short amount of time from the time when it really ended. When entering the museum and seeing how the Jews were treated they could feel how the Europeans treated the European Jews and started to feel the way the Jews did and how unfortunate it was. “Suparna is visibly shaken. "It's one thing to know that Nazis murdered millions of people," she says. "It's another to put yourself in their place.
While death was the major tragedy of the Holocaust, all of the art stolen was definitely a dark spot. Most people don’t realize, but the art was taken from all Jews and many others by the Nazis. Some pieces of art have been found, but most still remain lost. Many that have been discovered are in museums and are not given to the true owners. There should be efforts spent on finding and recovering the art stolen by the Nazis to return it to their rightful owners.
There is an ongoing art-ownership debate over paintings and other art stolen from European Jews during the Holocaust of World War II (1939-45). As Jews were sent to concentration camps, Nazi German soldiers looted valuable art from their homes. During the ensuing decades, some of that art landed in major museums on display, prompting Holocaust survivors and the families of Holocaust victims to ask that those works be returned to them.
Another reason we study the holacaust is to remember the cruelty that went on inside of the camps. I almost wish people could have documented the thhings that went one within the camps that they belonged to. Although, I believe if we could see those things, the sick, awful things that went one in the concentration camps, we would not believe what cruelties could be done to human beings. It disgusts me to my core, all of the things that happened in the camps. First you were stripped of your identity, shaven head, given away items of
There were about 500,000 living survivors of the Holocaust in 2014. It is vital for students to be taught about the Holocaust in school. The article, "combating" shows that the students need to be aware that the event did in fact happen. The article "Genocide" shows students what happens when hate against one group or culture becomes too much. Elie Wiesel's Night shows students an eyewitness account of how much violence, brutality, and abuse to the prisoners had to go through in the Holocaust. Though some people are against the subject of the Holocaust because it is too graphic or mature for the students, it is important that students learn from a trusted adult instead of letting other students try to teach it to themselves. The students should learn about the subject of the Holocaust in school because it teaches the importance of equality, about the events occurrence, and teaching about the dangers of discrimination and abuse.
Father Kolbe was someone that prisoners and inmates in the concentrations looked up to, calling him “The Saint from Auschwitz”. Even before he was imprisoned he was still looked upon housing 3,000 Polish refugees and 2,000 Jews. Not only housing them but feeding and clothing them. (auschwitz.dk)
Imagery is a portrait that is painted in your mind, a portrait that makes you feel you are there. The Holocaust is full of disturbing and horrible images of death. Pictures of inhumanity that just make you sick looking at them. In many images you see the pale, unemotional faces whose lives were changed for eternity, and yet with these images some believe that the Holocaust did not happen. In the Holocaust there was mass genocide of over six million Jews. Also many ethnic Poles, gypsies, Soviet civilians, Soviet prisoners of war, disabled people, homosexual men, and political and religious opponents were targeted by the Nazis to be exterminated. Hitler’s ultimate goal during the Holocaust was to
Art is often used to tell a story or share a moment in history. There are many art pieces that serve as a memory aid to society on how to learn and grow from these mistakes or pick up on the valuable information. The greatest example of art and how it can be used as a reminder is all the art pieces created during and after World War II. This is the most recent example but we were always told through art and artefacts from this war “never again”. Never again should we let this sort of thing happen while the memories of these disastrous events still haunt us. Auschwitz, one of the concentration camps during this war has become a symbol of all places of the mass murder of the Jewish people, who were all to be killed. A reminder of how terrible
