Without technology, the Nazis would have never ever been able to even pull off the Holocaust, let alone start the entire war. The Nazis use of technology in transportation, chemical use, which also lead to experimentation, heavily helped them into making the Holocaust a success. Without the usage of either technology, implementing the Holocaust would have been a tougher task. Chemical usage and experimentation has always been an extremely vague subject back during Word War !!. However, I.G. Farben's gas chamber was able to produce deadly Zyklon B Gas that was used in the gasing of Jews in concentration camp of Auschwitz. This brand new technology at the time provided the Nazis with a quick and efficient way to kill off Jews fast, as there …show more content…
Elena, an Italian partisian, had "attempted to stop freight trains loaded with people before they passed Switzerland" (Marks). However, because of the evasiveness of the Nazis in offering cigarettes to the leaders of the small groups of people to gather up these men and women, and the speed of the trains, the Nazis were particually unharmed in getting the victims in the trains to the concentration camps. As several witnesses say in Mark's essay, there were plenty of attempts by the folks in the small towns and villages to try and help the people in the trains escape or slow and stop the trains from advancing, but there was no solution to be able to stop the trains. If the trains had been stopped, the Holocaust would had not have enough people to create devastation at all, and therefore the Holocaust itself would be worthless since there would had been a lack of people participating in the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a big factor in the war, and it was made possible with the usage of transportation technology. Without the trains, one of the most important technology implemented by the Nazis, the Holocaust would not have
The medical experiments of the Holocaust were horrific acts with possible advancements in medicine, that go unnoticed due to current hospitals using ill-effective techniques, the EPA letting phosgene toxins infect workers, and some newspapers and agencies disregarding the use of the advancements. It is widely known, that the Holocaust was a horrible event during World War II, where Nazis would massacre Jews in a variety of ways, ranging from a firing squad to being buried alive. Horrible atrocities that ended in five million, to as many as six million Jewish deaths, among many more prisoners the Germans convicted. However, what is less known is how many of these deaths were used in medical experiments to advance medicine and medical practices.
Many Jews started to flee Germany and were immigrating to other countries. Many countries did not want all the refugees so they put restrictions on the number of refugees that they let in. If the countries had been more receptive to the refugees fleeing Germany there would not have been such a large number of people killed and the Holocaust might never have happened. Yet if some people did not open their homes and hearts to some of the Jewish families, Hitler’s dream would have been realised and the Jews of Europe and then perhaps the world, would have been wiped out.
Next, here are some ways that the Holocaust could maybe have been avoided. The main one is if Hitler did not rise to power, or get elected. Another one is if the United States or the allied powers had tried to prevent Hitler from becoming more powerful or had stopped him before he had already gained control of most of Europe. My Third way that the Holocaust could have been avoided is if the Jews had started a resistance movement when they were being moved into the ghettos. Maybe the Jews could have been rebels and stop the Germans by going on strike. Another way that the Holocaust could have been avoided is if countries like the United
These experiments were not only full of hate but also used for the advancement of medicine and effective treatment of the patient. Some were just out of fascination and believed they were for the better of the Aryan race. Injecting prisoners with chemicals, raising and lowering body temperature, and comparing the vitals of twins under extreme conditions are just three ways doctors of the Holocaust used prisoners for medical advancement. Since that age and time we have strived to move forward from that period and time and focus more on the patient's well being rather than the
The Holocaust was one of the most horrible and dreaded events in history. Millions of Jews were killed, leaving many families devastated and hopeless. With the goal of racial purity, Adolf Hitler- along with many other Germans believed the Jews caused the defeat of their country, and led the Nazis to the elimination of Jews. For this reason, “Even in the early 21st century, the legacy of the Holocaust endures…as many as 12,000 Jews were killed every day” (The Holocaust). Later, Hitler organized concentration camps, where mass transports of Jews from ghettoes were brought and typically killed also. However, the fortunate Jews that were not killed still had many restrictions on their
Bill Gates once mentioned,“We’re changing the world with technology.” During the 1940s the US was in war with Japan and the US used technology to their advantage by dropping nuclear bombs on Japan and saving many Americans lives.Now technology benifits people every were. For example technology can help people clean,cook, remind us and make many things. In the story “There Will Come Soft Rains” by Ray Bradbury it mentions how technology benefits society helping with everyday tasks
The Holocaust was a very traumatic event in history. Every year in school from about middle school onward students learn specifically about Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party’s cruel treatment of the Jewish culture and people during World War II. The same general knowledge is given to us from middle school up until the ending our high school history careers. We are taught to believe that Adolf Hitler was a corrupt man, who sought control of Germany in the 1930’s. Even though we are given background information on this event, and there are things being told to us, no one knows what actually occurred during this time, except those who lived through it. In the book Night published by Elie Wiesel, he explains the things that happened to his family and the people in his community named Sighet before, during, and after the Holocaust. There is more than what meets the eye to this occurrence. No one sees the bigger picture when it comes to this event because of the fact that such a tragedy occurred in the first place. Although the Holocaust was a very unfortunate event, the Holocaust did benefit the United States in a plethora of different ways. Without the Holocaust, World War II would have never happened, and World War II brought countless positives attributes to America. A myriad of things came out of World War II. For example, women earned the right to attain jobs because of the war. Also, America became a global power due to the fact that the Allies (United States, Britain,
The Holocaust is known as one of the most devastating, or perhaps even the most devastating incident in human history. On paper, the dizzying statistics are hard to believe. The mass executions, the terrible conditions, the ruthlessness, and the passivity of the majority of witnesses to the traumatic events all seem like a giant, twisted story blown out of proportion to scare children. But the stories are true, the terror really happened, and ordinary citizens were convinced into doing savage deeds against innocent people. How, one must ask? How could anyone be so pitiless towards their neighbors, their friends? In a time of desperation, when a country was on its knees to the rest of the world, one man not only united Germans against a
Poison gases were used primarily used to demoralize, injure, and kill entrenched defenders. There were different types of poison gases like, Tear gas, Mustard gas, etc. These were very harsh killings in my opinion, because it lasted a while with pain then they were dead. These gases were traumatizing to the people they used the gas to. Theses people were scared to go into the rooms and didn’t know what was going to happen to them just like “The boy in the striped pajamas” and like “The Holocaust”. These people during the holocaust experimented on people for the purpose of mass murder which is killing more than one person. They used this “mass murder killing” for killing patients with mental and physical disabilities. The killing centers
World War II occurred from 1939 to 1945. Zyklon B was a chemical used in World War II to torture the Jews. Nazis decided to use Zyklon B to murder jews, because the active ingredient in it is highly toxic. Zyklon B is a poisonous insecticide. It was used in concentration camps during WWII.
During World War 2 the Nazi Party would use Zyklon B Gas that they would release into Gas Chambers to
First use of chemical gas as a weapon was in the Battle of Ypres, the British were incredibly unprepared. The country was militarily vulnerable and did not like it.
POWs to death with the pesticide Zyklon-B. The SS soon placed a huge order for the gas with a
Even though engineers have the ability to design and manufacture things that have the potential of increasing productivity and proficiency, they can also lead to destructive inventions. Consider the state-of-the-art census machine IBM developed that sold to Germany in the 1930. These devices would allow for the collection of population data that can be studied for positive purposes. Instead, the Third Reich used it to identify Jews and other ethic minorities which lead to the Holocaust. Even though the IBM engineers had not designed the machine to be used to discriminate, they will forever hold the weight of all the lives of the people lost in the Holocaust.
Technology has created shortcuts in working and made tasks easier to accomplish. Technology may have caused our life to be faster but it made it easier also. Phones, vehicles and computers are all physical examples that contributed abundantly towards the life of our people. With technology, transportation has increased significantly. We don’t have to walk to go
