Holocaust Museum Reflection Paper

3. I stood in the boxcar for a couple of seconds, and I looked at the scuffed floor, where the paint was worn down to the wood, and I could really picture all of those people being crammed into the boxcar and sent to their deaths.

The Holocaust was one of the twentieth century's greatest tragedies that were made possible by anti-Semitism, the indifference of other nations, isolationism politics, and outright fear.

Although Jews were the primary victims of the Holocaust, many other groups were targeted based on racial or political grounds. Other groups that were attacked by the Nazis included LGBTQ individuals, the physically and mentally disabled, Roma(gypsies), Poles, Slavic Peoples, Jehovah’s Witnesses, and members of political opposition groups. These Non-Jewish victims were not considered as victims of the Holocaust. So, why did Adolf Hitler kill 11 million people? First, we need to inspect Hitler’s crazy ideas. Adolf Hitler was the Chancellor of Germany during the Holocaust. He came to power in 1933, when Germany was experiencing financial trouble. Hitler promised the Germans that he would bring them great wealth and he stated that he would make

The Holocaust was an terrible event that happened from 1933 to 1945. Approximately eleven million people were killed by the Nazis. A genocidal policy was passed by Adolf Hitler after he became the leader of Germany in 1933. His goal was to get rid of all the Jews in Europe and those who are considered in his "undesirable" list. As countries such as Italy, Japan, and Austria units with Germany and became the Axis Powers, they started invading and taking over other countries around them in Europe. I believe there are reasons that can explain why we still study about the Holocaust today.

As the years progressed from the 1700s into the 1800s, women started to see that they were not treated as equal as men even though they could do anything men could. During the late 1800s was when women first started to fight for more rights and equality. They started forming more and more women groups, and even went on labor strikes to protest the diversity. Although it seemed that as hard as they tried to gain this equality, the harder it was for them to obtain it. They were treated horribly and unequally to men. While African American men received the power to vote in 1870, women still did not have a chance at that right. Even though many people disagree that women were treated fairly, the studies show that they were discriminated against. The treatment of women in the late 1800s was discriminatory because they

The Holocaust was a period of terrible experience the Jews faced throughout European history. The Nazis led by Hitler altered life of many Jews politically, socially, and economically. Jews were treated horribly in Nazi Germany, they were forced to work until they passed out, or died. The Nazis also tried to execute all Jews to exterminate the entire population of Jews in Europe. The rise of the Nazi Party in 1933 impacted negatively on the lives of many Jews throughout Europe because it changed life of Jews economically, socially,and politically, they were treated horribly, and many Jews were executed when the Nazis implemented their “ Final Solution.”

When I first visited the virtual Holocaust Museum website and researched the bodies of the site it represented discrimination and bigotry. The action taken upon the innocent the dominant leader Adolf Hitler and the members of his group carried out Jews. The website classified the term Genocide to commit violent crimes against groups with the intent to destroy the existence of the group. The central issue raised by the site is informing people the awareness of Genocide. When I was looking into the cases mentioned on the website many of the cases are “racial profiling” against culture, religion and race. During the Holocaust the Nazis were a group that had wealth and power. According to Koppelman, during slavery, African Americans dead bodies were tossed overboard for the sharks to eat (pg106). From reading this example, the Nazis were torturing the Jews and throwing their lifeless bodies around. This site raises awareness about genocide and how it occurred during the Holocaust. My schema has changed tremendously because I knew very little facts about the Holocaust. I thought that the Jews were just being hated on and not being killed and slaughtered by the Nazis. I read the Anne Frank passage and she expressed how she felt during the time of the Holocaust and how it was a disgrace and how the Nazis were destroying the values and beliefs of the Jews. This reminds me of how immigrants come into the United States and were forced to be Americanize because of the United States

The Holocaust was one of the most destructive human events in time. There were many articles written about this tragic event. They can have a big impact on the audience in either an objective or subjective way. Objectivity is facts that do not influence people's feelings. Subjectivity is based on personal feelings and emotions.

During the Holocaust, over 6 million Jews and other were murdered. This statistic is an objective statement can have an impact on the reader due to whether the author writes objectively or subjectively. For example, if the readers purpose is to gain knowledge about the Holocaust, they would read an objective article. If the readers purpose is to read an opinion article on the tragedy of the Holocaust, the reader would read a subjective article. The article At the Holocaust Museum is based off of the holocaust museum in Washington, DC. At the Holocaust Museum by David Oliver Relin is both objective and subjective.

The Holocaust was one of the most tragic events in history which ended many innocent Jewish lives. Six million Jews plus many more were completely wiped out due to the effects of the Holocaust. It is still unforgivable for the things the Nazi party did and is still a very questionable subject on how they were able to accomplish such devastation. To be able to organize the removal of an entire population of people based on their religion not only takes high intelligence, but most of all takes a very twisted and demented outlook on life. Learning about the holocaust and the people involved is very important, as well as how it has affected our world today. There are many very fascinating things about the holocaust but three

Upon meeting and discussing with you your course MIT 3955 Representing the Holocaust: Museums, Memorials, and the Politics of Memory in Poland, I was immediately excited to learn about Post-Soviet Holocaust memory and the implications this time in history had.

What is your first reaction about the Holocaust? Anne Frank? Concentration Camps? Nazi soldiers? Well I think about how many people died and suffered. I also think about all the disorders Hitler had. “Adolf Hitler, who only few months earlier in January had been appointed Chancellor but called himself the Fϋhrer meaning leader”.(Margarete Dos and Kerstin Lieff Letters from Berlin: A Story of War, Survival, And The Redeeming Power Of Love And Friendship, LYONS PRESS, Guilford, Connecticut)

Anti-Semitism in Europe did not begin with Adolf Hitler. Though use of the term itself

such as the Holocaust involve strain, shock, and trauma, with both group and individual traumatization.3 After traumatic events such as the Holocaust occur, emotional responses such as shock and denial are common among survivors. As Leys describes, trauma is defined as an individuals experience of “hypnotic imitation and identification that disables the victim’s perceptual and cognitive apparatus to such an extent that the experience never becomes part of the ordinary memory system.”4 While experience unpredictable emotions, mental and physical symptoms, as well as flashbacks are common among survivors, many struggle with overcoming these feelings after catastrophes such as the Holocaust take place.
