How The Holocaust Took away the Rights of Jewish People

Elie Wiesel said, “for the dead and the living, we must bear witness” (citation). During the Holocaust, the Jews were treated terribly. Even though they were mistreated, and beaten several times a day, they still received food and water in small amounts. One of the main ambitions of Germans was to find ways to improve their performance in war, and to make their lives easier and more efficient altogether. The Nazi doctors found the most inhumane ways to do everything they did. Harsh treatment of the Jewish people existed through excessive forced labor, horrible living conditions, and many different kinds of medical

The Holocaust was a time period in which Adolf Hitler was the dictator of Nazi Germany. He prosecuted many Jews because he believed they were the reason World War 1 started, causing the death of 100,000 German soldiers. Because of this, he made sure nearly every Jew was put into concentration camps or killed. Adolf Hitler was a man who wanted everything his way, and because of this he killed innocent people. The Holocaust was an unfair period for the Jews. The Jews were killed because of who they were, and the citizens didn’t try to do anything to help them

While fighting for freedom a lot of important lives were lost trying to stand up for their own beliefs and rights. The Holocaust was a Jewish massacre including the lives of six million Jews. On the other hand, The Civil War was America's central event that took the lives of 625,000 people in-exchange for freedom. Both of them included acts of injustice and violence, beliefs of inequality, hatred, and societal changes. These events caused disparity in the society in which live on today.

While examining the works of Elie Wiesel and Primo Levi it becomes apparent that the holocaust was a horrendous time in our human history. However, although both writers went through similar experiences during this time; both seem to reflect and dwell on things differently such as their point of view and lives in the camps as well as the different themes they focus on. In this analysis the stories of the two authors will be compared and as stated above will also focus on how they recount their experiences.

Prior to the holocaust, however, he exhibits none of these characteristics. He was kind, wealthy, and uncommonly resourceful, and his marriage to Anja was filled with compassion, intimacy, and love. Where now Vladek is now stubborn, irritable, and almost comically stingy with his money. His experiences in the Holocaust undoubtedly played a role in these dramatic personality changes. It wasn’t until the war started that Vladek got a little more precautious about a few things. Whenever a bad thing would happen, Vladek would remain hopeful and trusted that things would go well for him and his family in the long run. Even when Vladek had to fight in World War II and was put in a prisoner camp with the most terrible conditions he still seemed to keep faith. However, one can slowly notice how Vladek becomes cautious about food and any kind of valuable. It is natural because he couldn’t get much so he had to be very careful about wasting anything. At times, he was willing to share, but he quickly realized that he had to fight for himself to survive and that everyone was responsible for themselves. He became a little careful about who his real friends were. ---- need uote here

The holocaust was one of the most considerable crimes committed against humanity. The Nazi’s boycotted all the Jewish stores. However, a minimum amount emigrated. Although at one point when Jewish wanted to flee, country's didn't accept them knowing the fact there's a lot of them. After the problem hit the Nazi’s that their are too many Jewish they began to discover ways to decrease the amount of Jews. Not until they planned to put them in camps. The Nazi’s put the Jewish in the ghetto to separate them from the Germans. The Jewish were treated miserably, they had the slightest amount of food that wasn't enough for them.

Have you ever thought about how many ways that Hitler tortured the innocent Jews. There are several ways but I'm going to focus down on two. Back a long time ago when there were still concentration camps millions of Jews were forced to stay there but the most terrifying thing was when they had to shower. But the story behind the showers is that the Nazis tricked the Jews saying that they could go shower but then a quick turned of events the showers were actually gas chambers. So when there were thousands of Jews in them the Nazis closed the doors tight and then from a window above the chambers they dropped gas that killed thousands.

Even before the Holocaust, the Jews were denied many rights. Hitler had led the German people to believe that they were the "Master Race", and that the Jews were a disgrace. After WWI, Germany was devastated. The only answer the Germans could find was to blame the Jews for this mess. The only solution found was Hitlers Final Solution, which was to rid Germany of Jews. Hitler not only despised Jews, he also dislike the disabled, homosexuals, Jehovah Witnesses, & gypsies. The Nazi's then began to round up the minorities and send them to concentration camps. At the concentration camps, the Jews were either exterminated or forced into labor. Concentration camps led massive scales of extermination. The Holocaust was one of the most wrong events that has taken place in

Have you ever wondered what the effects were on the Jews because of the Nuremberg Laws? In other words what rights were taken away from these innocent people? Ever wondered who made these laws just to discriminate Jews? The Nuremberg Laws had a large effect on the Jews, striping Jews from their everyday rights, and specifically segregating the Jews.

The Holocaust was a complete violation of all Jew’s rights along with other nationalities. According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Jews were denied most their basic rights. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was declared some years after the Holocaust in all like-hood because of the Holocaust. This gave all rights back to the Jews, Gypsies, etc. This makes sure the Holocaust never happens again.

One of the most important possession a human being has is their freedom. The Holocaust was when the Nazi regime killed 11 million people. Specific groups of people were targeted, such as: Jews, Romani people, homosexuals, communists, anyone who was not “white”, people with disabilities, Slavs, transgenders, and Jehovah's witnesses. The Holocaust was a violation of human rights because of the Nuremberg Laws, concentration camps, and the Final Solution.

The Holocaust is, by definition, a tragedy. HaShoah, the Hebrew word for the Holocaust, translates to “the catastrophe.” The very notion of humor during the Holocaust may seem incongruous, appalling, and wildly inappropriate. Tragedy is seen as serious, while comedy is typically lighthearted in nature. However, there is precedence for ‘comic relief,’ the presence of humor in tragedy with the desired effect to relieve tension. Frequently, comic relief is used so that tragedy does not overshadow us in darkness. Humor is simply an alternate, often more effective, lens through which we can approach history. Yet people still tend to draw red lines on especially tragic events, as analyzing the Shoah through the comedic lens is generally frowned upon, especially in the Jewish community. But, the taboo of ‘Holocaust humor’ is already being challenged by various holocaust jokes, Joan Rivers, Viktor Frankle’s Man’s Search for Meaning, Sarah Silverman’s “Wowschwitz”, and Sander L. Gilman’s article, “Is Life Beautiful? Can the Shoah Be Funny? Some Thoughts on Recent and Older Films.” This norm of keeping humor out of the Holocaust should be challenged on the basis that it serves as an outlet for which to cope with tragedy, a means of solidarity and unity for the oppressed, and a vehicle for Nazi criticism.

The holocaust was the slaughtering of approximately 6 million Jews between January 30, 1933 and May 8, 1945. During this time Oskar Schindler, Nazi businessman and former spy, started a factory originally to make money but soon turned into a plot to save Jews from being murdered by the Nazi Party. Schindler saved and accommodated for around 1100 Jewish people, spending all his money to both keep Nazi officers quiet and look after the Jewish people.

Who is to decide which humans are above others? Who gets to decide that a certain race, religion or gender is better than another? Well in Germany from January 30, 1933 till May 8, 1945, one man made the decision for all of Germany which race was superior. The Holocaust was started and the vast majority of Jews, minus those in hiding, were sent to the concentration camps. It is obvious to any sane person in this day and age that what happened during this era of Nazi Germany is absolutely inhumane and cruel. It is awful and is something that should never be repeated, but at the time, it just made sense to them. The Jews were different than the average looking Christian German, so that must mean that they were to blame for all of Germany’s problems, right? They were obviously the only thing that caused Germany to lose the war and go into a Great Depression. Right? The Holocaust and what happened to the Jews during the Holocaust absolutely solidifies the fact that all people, regardless of their differences, deserve basic human rights.

6 million dead and millions more affected; left to pick up what pieces of their lives remained, and try to come to peace with the events that occurred. These statistics are that of one of the most horrific events in the twentieth century, the Holocaust; where 6 million Jews were captured, tortured, and slaughtered like animals. 3 million remained, left to rebuild what had been destroyed. In, 1948, the world united to create the UDHR; a list of human rights for every living person on the Earth. One man, Elie Wiesel, recounts of how suddenly the Jews were stripped of these rights in his autobiography Night. In the novel Night, it is clear how the Jews’ human rights were severely violated, leading to extreme repercussions.
