Holocaust Reflection

The Holocaust and a war took place because of Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party. They believed the Jewish people and other groups were inferior to the Germans and a threat to society (History.com). The Nazis thought of them as a race, and not a religious group (Berenbaum). They also blamed the Jewish for the country’s defeat in World War I in 1918. Because of this hatred towards the Jewish people, Adolf Hitler wanted a European war that would end the Jewish communities in Germany and cause racial purity and expansion of his power (History.com). Adolf Hitler gained his power to do so when he

The Holocaust started in the 1933, when the Nazis and Adolf Hitler took power in Germany. The Holocaust from the Greek words “holos” (whole) and “kaustos” (burned) cause chaos and tragedy for Jewish people. At this time Germany was a nation with a Jewish population of 566,000 people. Nazis thought that they were the most inferior race and no other race was better than the Aryan race. This cause a lot of discrimination and hate against other people based on their beliefs and looks. The Nazis provoked the outbreak of World War II, when they invaded Poland. The Holocaust lasted 12 years and it end it on May of 1945.

The Holocaust was a tragic event that happened during WW2. Behind all of this was one man known to be one of the scariest,most evil person ever to live , Adolf Hitler. Hitler came into power

It mostly started when Hitler gained complete control over Germany. He began passing his dehumanizing laws, that stripped them of all their freedoms. Hitler had remarkable public speaking skills and was able to inspire mainly the youth of Germany to support his sinister plans. After he had the support of Germany he began to transport, or relocate, the Jews of Europe to various camps, known as concentration camps, death camps, and slave labor camps. In these camps they stripped these people of their identity, work these people until they are near death, and then killed them, by burning them alive. After many long years in these torturous they were finally liberated by the allied forces, being America and Russia. Sara E. Karesh stated that the Holocaust was unique event in which Hitler and his men were able to dehumanize over six million people and then kill them and that it was modern technology that was the key element that allowed this sort of thing to happen (Karesh, “Holocaust” 2). The fact that Hitler was able to carry his plan out and almost succeed in annihilating all other the Jews in Europe, shows that society is still not able to comprehend that all humans are equal.

The holocaust started when Adolf Hitler became Germany’s dictator, and they started the organization called the Nazis. They started by terrorizing the Jewish community in Germany, then eventually put them all into concentration camps. In one of the bigger camps, they experimented and took newborn babies away from the nursing mothers and they were seeing how long they would survive without feeding.

The holocaust was a time of pure darkness. The German Nazi’s thought their race would be better off without Jews and so they decided to kill them off. The Nazi’s were a group who was under Adolf Hitler’s control and had the power to kill Jews. The Nazi’s were basically Hitler’s soldiers. Adolf Hitler was the current Chancellor of Germany during that time. The Nazi’s however did not only target Jews which accounted for nine million of Europe’s population alone, but also homosexual’s, Jehovah’s witnesses, Gypsies, disabled individuals, Poles, Soviet prisoners of war, communists and socialists. The holocaust plays a role in the start of World War II. During the war, the Nazi’s managed to wipe out hundreds of Jewish communities and ended up killing around six million people total. They used to make Jews wear a badge on their clothes when going anywhere to show everyone they were Jewish. It used to be a law for Jews to wear such garments up until the nineteenth century and if they failed to do so, there was severe punishment. This is how Nazi’s chose whom to persecute.

It’s about the jews and how and what happened to them after the Holocaust. The Holocaust was the time where about six million jews and one million other people dying. Most people were killed because they belonged to different races and religions. The Nazis wanted to kill people that weren’t from their same religious group. The Nazis also killed people who disrespected Hitler. Hitler was the leader of the Nazi party.

The Holocaust began in the early 1930s which was controlled by an Austrian-born dictator, Adolf Hitler. Hitler believed as a “different” and a minority race, Jewish people should not live amongst those who were considered “perfect” in Hitler’s eyes; Germans who had blue eyes and blonde hair. The ultimate reason why the Holocaust came in history in the first place is because Hitler wanted a pure German race, so in order to achieve that goal he wanted the Jewish people to be put in concentration camps, take over their lives, and eventually kill them off. Over

How did the Holocaust start and why did this occur? The Holocaust happened in Germany and in Eastern Europe. The victims of the Holocaust were gathered from across Europe, but most of the actual killing was done in parts of Eastern, the best-known of the camps that were used to kill Holocaust victims were in Poland. These camps included Chelmno, Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, and the most notorious of all the death camps, Auschwitz. Auschwitz was the site of the deaths of more than a million of the victims of the Holocaust. These were the major death camps that were used in the Holocaust. Jewish people were not treated fair and they were hurt. Their lives ended early for most jewish people because of this. Anne and her family 's lives were ended poorly. They hid with the Van Danns and were caught one day because of a break in. Anne had a diary, she told the diary everything about her. That diary was found and kept safe. Neither the Franks or the Van Danns had a fair live because of the Holocaust experience. They didn 't get to pick their culture.

It all started almost eighty years ago and the history of it will never be forgotten. The Holocaust was the mass murder of approximately six million Jews that took place during World War II. There were nine million Jews who lived in Europe before the Holocaust, that means approximately two-thirds of them were killed. There were over one million Jewish children that were killed in the Holocaust, and there were almost two million Jewish women and three million Jewish men were also killed in the Holocaust. The Holocaust was controlled by a man named Adolf Hitler and his army of men who helped him. They were called the National Socialist German Workers, also known as “The Nazi Party” for short.

During the Holocaust Unit, my thinking about this subject was molded and changed in many ways. At first, I knew very little, and I wondered what happened to the victims as well as who they were and how many of them there were. I wanted to know what the Nazis motives were in terrorizing so many people. I also wondered whether the effects still rippled through our society today and if it was necessary for this reason for us to learn about it. Before starting the unit, I thought that the only or main way people were affected were through Concentration Camps. I also wrongly thought that only Jews were targeted. I understood that many people suffered during this time due to the cruelty of Nazis. My interpretation was that there were many pieces

One of the most atrocious violations of human rights that can be performed is genocide. Genocide is a reoccurring event in known human history, but the events that hold the most personal significance to me is the Holocaust. Being of Jewish faith, it is absolutely depressing to know that my family could have been victims of these unspeakable acts. The Nazis made it a goal of theirs to eradicate not only their victim’s lives, but also all archives of their time alive. While the Nazis were successful in this endeavor, there are still remnants left detailing the emotions and struggles of these people through one of the most tragic events in history. While these relics are able to tell the stories of those affected by the Holocaust, through analysis

As a social studies teacher, I should know more information about the Holocaust than just the average person. I have not actually taught about the Holocaust and it was been awhile since I took a class or read a book about the Holocaust, so this should be a good review. The Holocaust happened during World War 2 in Europe during the 1930s-1940s and was the extermination of the Jewish people in Europe. Adolf Hitler was the main person that was behind the beginning of the hatred and discrimination of the Jewish people. Decades of discrimination of the Jewish people in Europe made it easier for Hitler to target the Jewish people.

The Holocaust was a tragic piece of the worlds history. It happened from 1933 to 1945, and it was a mass killing and discrimination against people of certain races. They started with the Nuremberg Laws when Hitler became the most powerful. Hitler was a strange man who blamed Jews for the fall of Germany. There are several reasons as to why we study the Holocaust, the most important is so we never face something like this again.

The origin of the Holocaust can be attributed to Adolph Hitler coming to power and imposing his ideals on everyone. In his book, Mein Kampf, Hitler expresses hatred for Jews and his plans to rid Germany of them. Once he came to power, Germans started to boycott stores owned by Jews, restrict
