Morris Price And Human Cruelty

The Holocaust was a mass murder of millions of individuals’ primary to and during World War II. “Only 54 percent of the people surveyed by the Anti- Defamation League (ADL) in a massive, global poll has ever heard of the Holocaust” (Wiener-Bronner). The Holocaust was from 1933-1945 and was run by German leader named Adolf Hitler. Hitler was a man who wanted to create his own race of people. Therefore to create this race, he wiped out anyone who did not have the specific descriptions that he wanted. For people to fit into his race, they had to have blue eyes and blond hair. This excluded the Jews and from then on Hitler slowly dehumanized them. In the concentration camp the first thing they had to pass was the selection test. The selection test was what the SS man (German soldiers) used to determine who was fit for work. Usually children, mothers, and elders were the first to die because they were not mentally fit for the work they were going to be given. People who passed the selection process either died of starvation, disease, fatigue, or assassination. It took twelve years before anyone intervened and by then it was too late for millions of people. Even though over twelve million people died during the Holocaust, genocides have still happened in Rwanda, Darfur and Cambodia.

The Holocaust was the systematic killing and extermination of millions of Jews and other Europeans by the German Nazi state between 1939 and 1945. Innocent Europeans were forced from their homes into concentration camps, executed violently, and used for medical experiments. The Nazis believed their acts against this innocent society were justified when hate was the motivating factor. The Holocaust illustrates the consequences of prejudice, racism, and stereotyping on a society. It forces societies to examine the responsibility and role of citizenship, in addition to approaching the powerful ramifications of indifference and inaction. (Holden Congressional Record). Despite the adverse treatment of the Jews, there are lessons that can be learned from the Holocaust: The Nazi’s rise to power could have been prevented, the act of genocide was influenced by hate, and the remembrance of the Holocaust is of the utmost importance for humanity.

The Holocaust was the genocide of approximately six million people of innocent Jewish decent by the Nazi government. The Holocaust was a very tragic time in history due to the idealism that people were taken from their surroundings, persecuted and murdered due to the belief that German Nazi’s were superior to Jews. During the Holocaust, many people suffered both physically and mentally. Tragic events in people’s lives cause a change in their outlook on the world and their future. Due to the tragic events that had taken place being deceased in their lives, survivors often felt that death was a better option than freedom.

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 Nazi slaughter of European Jews during World War II, commonly referred to as the Holocaust, occupies a special place in our history. The genocide of innocent people by one of the world's most advanced nations is opposite of what we think about the human race, the human reason, and progress. It raises doubts about our ability to live together on the same planet with people of other cultures and persuasions.

In conclusion, the Holocaust was some of the worst years in many peoples lives. From the begging of the rise of Hitler, to the end of the German powers, and the defeats of the Nazi's, unfair ridicule was among people. Concentration camps, un-rightful death, and torture, was the main purpose of the Nazi's plan. They wanted to eventually rule the world, but as you see, they were defeated. I am now aware of the terrible things that took place in these horrible

During World War II and the Holocaust, morality collapsed. It was no longer easy to differentiate between what was good and what was evil. With a world filled with starvation, dehumanization, and dictatorship, Jewish children had a rough life. They were not free to run away and play; instead they were either in hiding or a camp. The three sources that will be analyzed in this essay demonstrate how the Jews and Gentiles risked their lives to help save innocent Jewish children.

The Holocaust; the evils of Humanity The Holocaust was a cruel, bloody, and evil moment in history in which Hitler took advantage of the influence he had on people. He destroy the Jewish race in order for the Germans to become the superior race. Hitler was able to convince thousands of Germans that they were superior to everyone else. He was able to expose the worst in people.

Traces from the most brutal massacre in human history is beginning to disappear. This is why the Holocaust should continue to be taught in schools. The book Night by survivor Elie Wiesel gives reasons why this sad tragedy should not be forgotten. People were treated like animals for twelve years, by Hitler. Notice, that if they were to make one bad move their life could end quickly within seconds. During that time they were dealing with dehumanization, starvation and a fight for survival.

The Holocaust was a horrific event with horrible repercussions for a race or a nation of people. It was a hard thing to stop when no one realized

The Holocaust is one of the most significant and impactful events in human history. At the time, the Holocaust destroyed our society. The mass genocide killed millions of people, had left thousands with physical and psychological pain, and left the survivors traumatized for life. The Holocaust had not only affected the survivors and those who lost their lives, but it impacted the rest of the world, even all these decades later. This horrible and unimaginable event was sadly an all too real example of how prejudice and dark our society can actually be.

The Holocaust of 1933-1945, was the systematic killing of millions of European Jews by the National Socialist German Worker’s Party (Nazis) (Webster, 430). This project showed the treacherous treatment towards all Jews of that era. Though many fought against this horrific genocide, the officials had already determined in their minds to exterminate the Jews. Thus, the Holocaust was a malicious movement that broke up many homes, brought immense despair, and congregated great discrimination. The Holocaust was an act of Hell on earth.

Adolfo Kaminsky, an 18-year-old who lived in 1944-Paris as an immigrant from Argentina, during the 2nd World War, was no different. But his riskiness was accompanied with a sense of responsibility for the millions of lives lost in the Holocaust. Adolfo, himself, was born a Jew and had once been sent to an internment camp; but the Argentinian government opposed this action against their citizens, which saved his life. It might be this experience that caused Adolfo to empathize with the Jews who weren’t as privileged as he had been. His journey began as a child when he worked in a cloth dryer’s. Later, his experience with inks got him recruited in a Jewish Resistance Group who was responsible for saving the lives of thousands of Jews who would have otherwise died in the camps. In the New York Times article, ‘If I Sleep an Hour, 30 People Will Die”, Adolfo states the reason, “I saved lives because I can’t deal with unnecessary deaths-I just can’t” To put this in other words, he risked his own life to save others. He would not have lost anything if he had just ignored the unfortunate Jews; but he didn’t, which makes him a better human from those he

One of the darkest moments in history, during World War II the holocaust was the genocide of six million Jewish people. Along with the Jews it was a mass murder towards the homosexuals, Roman gypsies, and blacks. To make it clear the genocide didn’t occur within one take, it happened over a period of time, a process that was carefully put together, slowly leading up to the execution. Concentration camps were formed for the Jews and they were forced into doing slave labor until exhaustion, starvation and diseased killed them. Those concentration camps eventually turned into extermination camps to execute efficiently as possible. These death camps killed millions of innocent people and that is the phase most people recall when it comes to the Holocaust.

The reign of Nazi Germany was arguably the most horrific eras the world has ever seen. Led by German chancellor, Adolf Hitler, the Holocaust annihilated six million European Jews because he felt that Jews were “inferior,” to the “racially superior” German’s. (1) The word Holocaust originates from Greek, meaning “sacrifice by fire.” (2) The rise of the Nazi empire, though, did not happen over-night.
