Holocausst

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.

In the Pianist szpilmans family and friends died because of all the German concentration camps. Szpilman explains to our society in the book about how when they were choosing who to go to the camps, all his family was chosen but him. He for sure suffered so much pain because he was left alone to not die. Genocide is a big problem and it should not happen in the world, because of genocide so many people died in the holocaust.

The Holocaust is the undisputed genocide of all genocides, and it has been contended energetically by numerous students of history that no other dim period in mankind's history very thinks about to it. Albeit subjectively valid in a few perspectives, current students of history no longer need to depend on shades of obscurity keeping in mind the end goal to break down genocide.

The city of Warsaw was the capital of Poland.(Warsaw) The ghetto flanks both banks of the Vistula River.(Warsaw) The city has 1.3 million inhabitants and Warsaw was the capital of the resurrected Polish state in 1919.(Warsaw) Before the war the city was a major part of a jews life and culture.

The Holocaust is a subject that in most states are a required element of curriculum. Many choose to teach a version that does not include the graphic nature and torture that Jews withstood. Instead of give lecture or text based assignments many use movies to show the Holocaust, for their easier for children to understand. Issues that could arise would be if they are able to understand that not every story portrayed in a movie is an actual event and that some aspects are fictional while some are truthful. It is essential that teachers ensure their students are aware of the function that the movies is supposed to serve.

Throughout history, many individuals have suffered abominable racial injustices, but none of these accounts add up to the extent of suffering the Jews endured during Holocaust times. Millions of innocent people were sent to their deaths, all for their religious identities. Those who came out of the camps still breathing were forever impacted, forever damaged, and forever scarred. How could you not be? Such is the case with Vladek Spiegelman.

The cruel abilities of the human race has been expressed throughout history. Power, greed, and desire proves to be too much for some to handle- enough to where lives are taken in order to satisfy these needs. The Holocaust is one of these dramatic forms to achieve power and for Hitler to create his ideal society. During this, Hitler and the Nazis targeted Jews and other subcategories of people who did not fit their idea of “perfect.” While this time period has been heavily documented, broadcasted, and discussed, there are still some important facts not well known to the public. These facts surpass the basics, and include some that express the true horror in the crime, facts that cause people to wonder about some inconclusive data, and make the whole thing seem like a plot for something not yet

Six million men, women, and children were murdered from 1939-1945. An attempted eradication of the Jewish people has left a permanent scar on the hearts of many. A scar that travels through time and generations, a scar that many would say is the single worst crime in human history. Genocide, mass murder and ethnic cleansing are not terms that can be associated solely with Jews. Systematic executions of ethnic, religious and racial groups have been ubiquitous throughout history. While there is no denying that the holocaust was particularly heinous, dark period in human history, I believe there have been other events in world history that parallel in motivation, magnitude, or both.

" I told him that I did not believe that they could burn people in our age, that humanity would never tolerate it." The Holocost is an abdominal time for humanity to rememeber. millions suffered immeasurably, others were lucky enough to escape the suffering through death. However, those who survived beat the odds, some of those people choose to forget, others choose to tell their story. Although no outcome of the Holocost was good; however, some were fortunate enough to view the situation differently. In the film "life is Beautiful" and in the novel "Night" the Holocost was an experience both shared; however, each story was experienced differently with a few similarities through Gods provision, perspectives, and ones self preservation.

The Holocaust is a very gruesome and impacting event that can’t be explained just by watching films. It takes years of research to understand what actually occurred in the holocaust however these films do give you a brief understanding about the holocaust. The first film I would recommend would be the pianist because its by far one of the most historically accurate and most informative films to date. The pianist shows you from beginning to end on what happens to the Jewish community in the holocaust in Warsaw Poland. The second film I would recommend would be The Grey Zone because its one of the most emotional films about the holocaust. The grey zone takes you into the heart of Auschwitz and shows you the position that some Jewish prisoners were put in in order to survive.

Media, especially popular films and movies, plays an important role in shaping the public’s opinions and understanding of the world. The Holocaust for example is a subject that has received a lot of media attention, including three Academy award-winning films in the past two decades. Most people know little about the Holocaust and these films serve as the primary sources of their knowledge, therefore, how they perceive the Holocaust is directly related to the way it is portrayed in these popular movies. Steven Spielberg’s Schindler’s List and Roman Polański’s The Pianist are both praised by films critics for their cinematic achievements; however, they often face critical reception by Holocaust scholars, and for good reason. Both films take place in Europe during the Holocaust and take the audience through the experiences of a few individuals. Moreover, both films are based on true stories and present the Holocaust experience of the characters with historical accuracy. Schindler’s List tells the story of a German industrialist who saves the lives of twelve hundred Jews by employing them in his factories, while The Pianist tells the story of a Jewish musician who survives the wrath of the Nazi’s with sheer luck and the kindness of a few non-Jews. Neither Spielberg nor Polański shy away from showing all the blood, gore, the violence, and the killings that are embodied in the Holocaust. These movies portray the Holocaust with astonishing detail, but they fail to uphold the

The Holocaust is probably one of the darkest times of history, and many can speak to that. There is multiple sources as far as personal stories, books, records, and movies to provide the world information on this terrible event. Movies are a very mainstream type of way to provide information to the public about what had happened during this time. A movie I took a personal interest is Life is Beautiful. Although the movie is in Italian, it is my favorite historical movie.

I can't imagine that one human being can be this soulless and cruel to another human being. The emotions expressed in this 30-minute short film are too much for one to bear, let alone to witness such horrific events unfolding in reality. The photos used in this movie is graphic and shocking. The motive looks like to force the audience to observe the real result and purpose of the concentration camps. I salute the director of this film, Alain Resnais for detailing such happenings on a definitive documentary that even future generations will check out and grieve over actions perpetrated by other human beings. All things being equal, the Holocaust and also all demonstrations of genocide were a horrific occasion that the world needs to settle. Until the point when we do grapple with these occasions, they can and will happen once more. The students of today are the ones that can have any kind of effect, and on the off chance that we as students can state, "No this isn't right" at that point we will be well on our way from counteracting future occasions of

Between 1933 and 1945, 11 million people were murdered in the Holocaust, of this six million were Jews and of this, 1.1 million were children. Of the nine million Jews who lived in Europe before the Holocaust, an estimated 2/3 were murdered. Despite all these odds and statistics, Vladek Spiegelman managed to survive, and then share his story with his son, so he could share their story with the world. Another reason that Vladek Spiegelman is a good subject to write a biography on is, his personality. He seems to have to sides to him, Vladek Spiegelman before war and Vladek Spiegelman post - war. We get to see the impact and affect the Holocaust had on it’s victims, with our own eyes. Moreover, Vladek Spiegelman is an inspiration and a reminder of the potential dark side to human nature. Thus, writing a biography on Mr. Spiegelman is informative, moving and above all, inspirational.
