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.

In the Holocaust by Bullets Father Patrick Desbois recounts the tale of the mission he gave himself to discover and inspect all the mass burial sites of a million Jews exterminated by Nazi Mobile Units in Ukraine amid World War II. He started by wanting to travel to the burial site in Rawa Ruska where his grandfather Claudius had been taken during world war II. He finally got the chance to visit Rawa Ruska in the mid-90s.On another visit he asked the mayor where the Jews from the work camp were buried and the mayor said he didn’t know and he changed the subject. A year later there was a new memorial put up and at the celebration Desbois asked a violin player if he knew where the mass grave for the Jews from the work camp was and he knew and

The definition of the concept human rights can differ for each person. The basic definition of human rights is the rights each person deserves to live their life in an equal and just society regardless of where they live, what they believe in, or the color of their skin. The years between 1933 and 1945, post-World War I, is sometimes viewed as the worst decade in history. The Holocaust, was a big reason for this belief. Holo meaning whole, and Kaustos meaning burned or burning was the phrase used to describe this horrific genocide . Should there be limits to state sovereignty when basic human rights are threatened by genocide? It began around 1933, when people in Germany, Poland, and many other places in Europe, started to separate

     Throughout history the Jewish people have been scapegoats; whenever something was not going right they were the ones to blame. From Biblical times through to the Shakespearean Era, all the way to the Middle East Crisis and the creation of Israel, the Jews have been persecuted and blamed for the problems of the world. The most horrifying account of Jewish persecution is the holocaust, which took place in Europe from 1933 to 1945 when Adolf Hitler tried to eliminate all the people that he thought were inferior to the Germans, namely the Jews, because he wanted a pure Aryan State.

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.

"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

Whitwell, Tennessee wanted to teach their students about the holocaust. As they were learning about it they figured out that the Norwegian people wore paper clips on their clothing to represent that they were against nazism, it was a sign of resistance. So they decided they would collect paper clips from everyone and learn about the Holocaust. They wanted to teach their kids about the Holocaust so they can teach them not everyone is white, loved and cared for, and to teach others how they wanted to be treated. There was not many people in Whitwell so when they saw someone different they didn't know what to do so they figured it would be a good thing to teach the Holocaust. In the middle school there were no Jewish or Catholic people,but there were one Hispanic kid and five black kids therefore this project was pretty important.They set a low goal at

A long time ago the Amazon rainforest was a desert, so hot you could cook an egg in a few seconds, so dry that the sun started sweatin’. The land was getting so darn useless that the Federal Government sent some folks, the Jacksons, to ‘forest’ it. Samuel and Mary Lou Jackson were perfectly fine folks.Their children, Crybaby and Singer, were a mite on the special side. Crybaby’s eyes never stopped flowin’ ( He flooded the house quite a few times), and Singer could attract them animals with her melodious singing (There was one time Singer ‘tracted a giant croc, but that’s another story!) The Jacksons packed up their bags and headed to the Amazon Desert. Halfway

Of all wars that have shaped history, the Holocaust has definitely left its mark. Also known as The Shoah, this infamous point in time was a genocide against those who did not fit the criteria of the ideal man in the eyes of Adolf Hitler. Although, about six million Jewish, and an additional five million non-Jewish, victims were killed because of Hitler’s Nazi Germany, some were able to survive by either escaping or just having to live through it. An altercation like this would definitely traumatize the survivors, but most are able to get through the days by keeping their faith in the Lord. Poetry has always been a preferred writing technique to vent or express feelings. Most of the poetry written by the survivors shows how the dedication they

Humanity is not only a word in the dictionary but a sense of how we all live. We don't have a perfect world but what is a perfect world? Is it n idea in our imagination that unity might one day exist? The Holocaust horrified all. A tragedy describes much less of what the holocaust actually was, or even is at it still impacts the lives of people today. Despite all the emotions and devastating thoughts towards the holocaust we all pray that this was not a warning for future events but an end. May a new world come out of the Holocaust.

“The fact is they know I went through hell.” -Professor Bacharach, Holocaust Survivor. Ever since many centuries ago, Jewish people were treated unfairly and unjustly according to their religion and characteristics. The Holocaust was a fearful and painful genocide because of anti-semitism throughout European countries. Up to six million Jews died in the harrowing genocide, along with the death of many other religious and ethnical groups ("Documenting Numbers of Victims of the Holocaust and Nazi Persecution"). As much as a fraction of the number of Jews survived. With much grief and sorrow during the Holocaust, the survivors had to suffer the emotional and physical trauma after the event. Survivors had to face the reality of rebuilding their lives after the

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)

Lastly, another fascinating thing about the Holocaust is whether or not people have moved on from the Holocaust and considered it ‘old news’ in today’s world. Many people believe that in today’s world, we have moved on from the holocaust and considered it ‘old news’. In my opinion we have definitely not moved on or forgotten the Holocaust, how could we? The Holocaust was such a catastrophic event that changed the world forever. It will never be forgotten. In many ways the Holocaust is so disturbing but I’m glad to know about it. Hitler was wrong for killing the Jews because all people should be treated the same. It’s horrible how no one back then knew anything. And even though some did have their suspicions, they never did anything...the whole thing is sick, horrible, and terribly sad. Centuries from now people will still remember the Holocaust because it was a major event in history when millions of Jews and others were murdered, there for it will never be forgotten. We need to remember the
