Holocaust Research Paper

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.

Eliezer “Elie” Wiesel, a Jewish writer, professor, political activist, Nobel laureate and Holocaust survivor, acknowledged that “There is so much injustice and suffering crying out for our attention: victims of hunger, of racism, and political persecution, writers and poets, prisoners in so many lands governed by the left and by the right. Human rights are being violated on every continent. More people are oppressed than free.” When the Nazis came to power in Germany in 1933, they believed that the Germans were “racially superior”and that Jews(their biggest enemy) were to be called “inferior.” As the “Final Solution” came, no Jew was safe. The Germans figured every way to get rid of them. One single gunshot wasn't enough. During this

“It is the darkest day of my life, and it is still with me.” said Israel Arbeiter. Years after the Holocaust occurred, the time remains haunting for many people affected by it. The Holocaust was a very tragic time for many people. Millions of lives were lost; many people killed or wounded. This all occurred because of a perceived opinion, prejudice, of Jewish people. Racism, antisemitism, and prejudice need to stop. Respect for people with different views is important.

The Holocaust was a dark period of time, occurring in the 20th century. It had began in the early 1930’s, and grew to become increasingly gruesome up until the mid-fourtees. The Holocaust was a mass murder of Jewish people, Romas, homosexuals, mentally and physically disabled, Jehovah’s witnesses, trade unionists and many other classes of people. Though the Holocaust was a very important part of history, there were many things distracting the German population, along with the rest of the world, leaving the Holocaust in the dark and left unknown.

The Holocaust memorial was built by James Ingo Freed so we could remember the ones that passed away and the tragic event that occurred.It’s important so we the people in the society don’t let something like this happen again especially since there were about 13 million people that died during this event. It’s important that the people in the world don’t let anything like this happen again.

The year is 1998, not only was I, Carleigh Irgens, born August 21 in Miles City, Montana but some other big and exciting things happened! Three of the most important events were, The Holocaust History Project was founded, John Gacy; The Clown Killer was convicted of killing young boys and even the death of Paul McCartney’s wife, Linda McCartney.

The Holocaust, a sad time in human history, but in all that sadness, there were heroic stories of people and Nazi prisoners standing up for what was right instead of following the awful fascist state that was called Nazi Germany. In this paper, I write about a couple of the rebellions that some of the Jewish population in this time did to fight for what was right and trying to stop Nazi’s from brutally murdering them. Here, I tell these stories of heroes and heroism in the very evil Nazi Germany and Adolf Hitler.

This is my story i was born inVolosyanka, a small town in Trans-Carpathian Ruthenia. Located in the Carpathian mountains. When i was 11 years old jews were not aloud to hold government positions. We were beaten and arrested most of the time for no reason. Hungarians closed the synagogue where we lived, we also could not attend school. Our worshiping had to be done in secret. Any type of jewish gathering was illegal. Because of these changes my grandfather fearing for safety of the synagogues torah scroll secretly brought it home with him.

Technically holocaust denial isn't illegal in some ways, even if they are make to be illegal then it is unlikely to be efficient due to apathy. Why? Well....it is way it is in Australia. The laws will be used if people go to the police station to press charges. That's all they can do to fight against the racism, don't get it? Because cops do not enforce the laws 100%, everywhere and 24/7. It's impossible to do

On January 30th 1933 Adolf Hitler became chancellor of Germany, Jews in Europe were gradually subjected to stricter persecution. The Holocaust started because a biological racism and anti-Semitism was developed by the Nazis, the Jewish culture were seen as: Deformed beings, a specific problem to society, a problem that needed to be solved for survival of the nation. Hitler believed and made to believe that the population of Germany should be lead entirely by the Aryan race. The typical Aryan being: Blonde, blue eyes, and slightly pale skin. The Nazis believed that the Aryans had the purest blood out of anyone on Earth and believed that non-Aryans were impure and even “evil”. Hitler believed that the Aryan dominance was being threatened by the Jewish people, there was a league table of all races, Aryans and Jews were at the top. How could Hitler deal with such a competitor? How could he start a race with no real threat but only true fear? Eliminate the obstacle. The wall blocking the Nazis from loyalty, strength, superiority.

In the 1930’s, Germany was under the control of a totalitarian leader, known as Adolf Hitler; Hitler created a cult of personality, using censorship of the press and famous intellectuals of the time, propaganda, and violence to encourage discrimination against Jewish individuals. Discrimination against Jewish individuals was also known as anti-Semitism; hostility and prejudice towards the Jewish race; anti-Semitism can take many different forms, including: Institutional, verbal, or physical. Eventually discrimination, led to violence, and violence transitioned into genocide; the mass murder of a particular ethnic group. In total, over six million men, women, and children were systematically murdered, in one of the largest

It is strange to study one of Europe’s darkest periods and wonder how on Earth so many people believed in the Nazis and the superior race. As much as anyone hates to admit it, Hitler was one heck of a leader, by amassing millions of followers and being able to keep them. He could have only held so much power by believing in his cause so much that others could not help but believe it too. Hitler, Rosenburg, and other Nazi leaders saw the Jews as a separate, inbred, greedy, race who were trying to dominate the economy and essentially take over the world. Though anti-semitism had existed for many centuries prior to this, it was enflamed like never before by propaganda and publications such as The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. These racist ideals were codified in the Nuremberg Laws set forth in 1935. This modern anti-semitism was different in both kind and intensity than previously seen in Europe.

My overall opinion on what we have read in class and seen in movies is that the holocaust was a dreadful thing for anyone to go through. I don't think it was okay to get rid of a whole race just because someone wants a superior race. I have learned in Hana's suitcase that kids can make a difference. A young woman was determined to find out about a young girl named Hana and her whole life. I hope the Nazi party realized that what they were doing was wrong then again, they contributed on what Adolf Hitler was telling them to do. Something that bothers me is that nobody stood up for the Jews. Others were bystanders and just watched what the Germans were doing but never said

The nazis are everywhere. They fill up the streets of Germany and theres propaganda posters in every corner. There’s a poster with a Jewish man and it reads “who is to blame for the wars”. They are giving the fault of the World War to the Jewish people. Discrimination against The jews is harsh here in Germany. A man wearing a jewish patch got attacked and beaten down the street for no reason, he was just walking like an ordinary person. People look scared especially when they walk by the police. It seems if like they were to be killed if they said a word to them. Maybe the police do torture and murder people because nobody seems that scared of someone unless they are some sort of monster. The German people seem to be somehow mind controlled
