The Denial of Thousands of Murders: The holocaust vs The Rape of Nanjing
The small things can make a big difference in the world. The holocaust started out as a small thing against the Jews like making them wear yellow stars. It started with that and then Hitler turned it into a full scale war against the Jewish. The Jewish people were in the same situation as the Chinese people were they both tried to hide and run. The Rape of Nanjing were a mass murder of hundreds of thousands of people that had no involvement in the war. Also like the holocaust the Rape of Nanjing started with small fighting and as time progressed it turned into something bigger than it should have been. The Jews were put down and labeled as an aliens and they put signs

Hitler made it very clear that he hated Jews and making them wear yellow stars just kinda made them mad. Hitler tried to find reasons to hate Jews and he just made random stuff up and he was such a good speaker and people person that the nation of germany believed him and they started to hate the Jews too. Hitler hated the Jews and no one was going to stop him from trying to completely get rid of them. He blamed them for them losing world war one he said that instead of them joining the army and helping they stayed home and if they would have they would've had more manpower and would have won the war and they people believed him. He was also blaming them for the great depression he said that because they did not join and didn't help that they lost and had to pay and why the nation of germany was fighting the Jews were staying home and didn't help so when it came time to fight and rise they welted and he didn't like weak people. He also blamed them for usury and he believes this is taking advantage of Germany. Hitler is the type of person that can't stand losing so when they found a way to beat him he made sure they wouldn't have the chance to beat him again. The Japanese and Chinese just started out light and a little fight in one battle and it turned into a full scale war …show more content…
The Holocaust affect the Jews, Mentally/Physically Handicapped, and Dissenters. The Rape of Nanjing affected everyone in the city of Nanjing Visitors ,Chinese people ,kid ,parents ,and Grandparents (Walter2). The Perpetrators of the Holocaust were Hitler, SS/Gestapo, and Nazis. This SS and Gestapo were two elite groups of Nazi soldiers. The Gestapo was more of a spy. Their job was to find out where the Jews and find out who was keeping them and where they were hiding them and find out who was against the Jew party. The SS were every Jew's worst nightmare they were the brutal they didn't care. If they were supposed to kill you then you were dead and part of that was if they showed their brutality they got promotions. They gave their soldiers a drug called Methamphetamine. This drug made them where they got agitated easy and didn't require much food or sleep. The perpetrators of The Rape of Nanjing were the Japanese soldiers. At first the Chinese people were happy to see them because they didn't think the Japanese would go so low where they would rape the people and ruin their
In conclusion, the Holocaust had detrimental effects on all that survived. This was because prisoners were treated as less than human and not given enough food. They also lost many of their loved ones, many of whom were executed. And to top it all off, they were abused by their captors on a regular basis. With these things happening, it’s no surprise that survivors of the Holocaust suffered terrible
Most people in the world never seem to realize the mass number of raping or killings that are going on around them. Meanwhile, during the holocaust, no one understood how much it was happening around them then either, except for the people it was happening to. Most people are aware of the savagery that occurred during the holocaust in Germany, but few have ever even heard of Nanjing, much less the rape of Nanjing. Both genocides share very close similarities, and they both also share their differences.
Finally, many purely hated Jews because they were not Aryan. Germany was one of these countries. Hitler, the leader of Germany, has carried hate for the Jews since early childhood. Primarily, he blamed them for his mother’s death along with him not getting into his dream school, Vienna Art College. Also, they were blamed by Germany for defeat in WWI and as the cause for unemployment. However, mainly Jews were persecuted because of the way they looked. At the time, Hitler wanted a racially pure Germany. He believed that by adapting the Darwin theory of survival of the fittest, he would be able to create a stronger generation and kill those that are impure or disabled.
When Hitler came into power he used his power to put jews people on the spot, he believed Jews were the one the to blame on why they lost the WWI. During pre-war times of WWII, Hitler targeted jews and his intention was to do everything that he could to ruin them. Jews were forced to wear the star of David on them at all time
To start, when Hitler came into power, everyone loved him and he was like any average ruler until things started to change. Hitler led Germany into battle in World War II and mostly everyone was convinced that it was only a matter of time before they won the battle, but when this was not the case Hitler was outraged. From the article in historylearningsite.co.uk it illustrates what Hitler felt, ““stabbed in the back” by the Jews” (Trueman). This was most likely the result of feeling like he needed someone to put the blame on, someone to be displeased at. The Jews didn’t purposely make Germany surrender or have any part of having Germany lose the war, after all it was their country too. After this event, things started to go down hill for the Jews and what most people refer to as mankind's worst mistake. Secondly, Hitler started to use his power to exterminate or control the population of all Jews, thus abusing it and doing things that should not be done with his power. Since he thought Jews took everything away from him and Germany he started dehumanizing them and treated them as if worse than animals. The novel Night states that they were deprived of all of their jewels and precious belongings, having to wear a yellow star so everyone knew they were Jewish, living in the ghettos,
The Holocaust was a disaster affecting many people's lives, mainly targeting Jewish people. They were also against Poles, Gypsies, Russians, The Disabled, Jehovah's Witnesses and Homosexuals. During the Holocaust six million Jews were murdered and many others were treated inhuman and killed. People who were affected by the Holocaust were discriminated, segregated and hated. This people were mistreated and their freedom was taking away, just by having different beliefs and have a different looks.
Before WWII started Germany’s new dictator was starting a revolution. That only Adolf Hitler and his army knew about. The Nazis were what hitler’s army was called their job was to collect and kill as many Jewish people as they could. If anyone got in the way they were killed to. Hitler’s reasoning for killing all the jews he says they are the reason why they lost the first world war. How he killed all of these jews hitler and his nazis would force the jews to leave their houses and towns. Then he would get them all on a cattle car and take them to concentration camps. How hitler killed the jews were mostly gas chambers ,but he kept some few thousands to work or do certain things in these concentration camps. Some of those jews survived the holocaust to tell their story of what happened to them and their families.
The Holocaust was a repulsive time where many Jews suffered miserably from Hitler’s concentration camps and millions died. I researched this topic because I had learned about the Holocaust a little bit over the years, but I wanted to focus primarily on the United States and if Roosevelt helped the Jews who were suffering or if he only focused on the needs of his own country. Before I started my research, I knew a basic amount of information about the Holocaust itself and what Hitler had done to the Jews, but I knew nothing about what effect FDR had on the prosecution of Jews. I chose this topic mainly because I found it interesting to learn about and I knew I would enjoy reading about the Holocaust but another reason why I chose to research this topic is because I am Jewish. My great grandma had experienced the great depression and had lived during that heartbreaking time period. I wanted to learn more about my history and what it was like to be a Jew back in the 1930-1940’s. It is hard to imagine the hatred some people had for Jews and how awful they treated them. Learning about the Holocaust made me thankful for what I have because millions of survivors were scarred for the rest of their lives and experiencing the pain and torture European Jews underwent is unimaginable. Living in America, I wanted to know if we had helped. I wanted to know if our country cared about what was happening in Germany and if they put in a lot of effort to stop Hitler from his horrible actions.
The Holocaust victimize many Jewish people. These people had to suffer for so long, in harsh conditions with little food and water, before they were liberated, and many did not even make it to liberation
The Holocaust was one of, if not the worst mass murder in history. The Nazis did one of the most horrifying things you could think of, killing so many innocent people. Many different groups of people other than jews were also victims of this tragic event. Some of those other groups were: LGBTQ individuals, the physically and mentally disabled, slavs, and members of opposing political groups. These groups of people were ripped from their homes and put into concentration camps. The Nazis would either separate them from their family or they would keep them together and they would have to watch the Nazis torture their family and friends. During this very tragic point in history, more than six million Jewish lives were taken, in total there were over 12 million victims of the Holocaust. Not only did this affect the survivors it also affected families of the victims, survivors and anybody else that was connected through this tragedy. The Nazis, came to “power” in January 1933, which was during a time Germany was going through an economic hardship. They believed that Germans were "racially superior" and that the Jews, were "inferior.” Adolf Hitler played a very big factor in everything that went down. Adolf Hitler was a German politician who was the leader of the Nazi Party and was also known as the dictator of the Holocaust. The Nazis did have others that were Hitler’s “army” and they took orders from Hitler to do awful things to the victims and they were commonly known as
The view Adolf Hitler had on the Jewish peoples was that everything was their faults and he hated them. Before Hitler became a Dictator he was a soldier just like everyone else in World War 1 and when the German Empire lost he was in disbelief and just couldn’t believe it. Many nationalist and conservatives believed that Germany had not lost the war on the battlefield but due to betrayal from within, by a ‘stab in the back’. Socialists, communists and particularly Jews were blamed, even though more than 100,000 German and Austrian Jews had served in the war and 12,000 had been killed.
Hitler was elected to office in 1932. Hitler further developed the idea of the Jews as an evil race struggling for world domination. So he began to take away there shop and stores away. He made all the Jews wear a star on their clothes. He manages to Stripe them from their freedom. Nazis’s and Hitler made Jews as a race and not a religious culture.
Labeling happens all over the world, labeling mostly happens in negative ways. Labeling was the number one reason for hate in the 1900’s. Labeling was the biggest reason for Hitler killing the Jews, the Salem Witch Trial, Joseph Stalin, and Slavery by labeling the blacks, and Isis wanting to kill everyone and take over. Labeling rarely happens in a good way it is mostly 90% negative.
The Holocaust was one of the first giant acts of genocide. It brought light to the horrific acts of racism that the world still faces today. The Nazi’s were not only trying to destroy Jewish people, they were trying to kill all of the Polish and Roman people as well (HARFF 6). They believed that these types of people were evil and did not deserve to live on the same earth with them. Acts of hate have steamed from the Holocaust and still continue to be an issue today. The Holocaust is often compared to civil rights movements, terrorism, and other acts of hate against a certain group of people or a race of people.
When Germany invaded Holland during the beginning of World War II, the Jews were the German soldiers and Adolf Hitler’s main targets. Jews were required to wear a yellow star on their shirt, and if they walked around town during the day, they risked being taken into captivity by the German soldiers. This, among other racism against
