Inhumane Of The Holocaust

The Holocaust is debatably the most terrible event and the largest genocide in human history. During World War II when Hitler was leader of Germany Six million Jewish people were murdered by the Nazis, over 1 million were children. Most deaths were in concentration camps where they were gassed, worked to death or died of decease. It wasn’t just Jews that were persecuted and sent to concentration camps, Hitler also sent Millions of other people that he didn 't like. This included Polish people, Catholics, Serbs, and disabled people. As many as 17 million innocent lives were believed to have been lost.

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 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

For the past 300 years, the world’s society has displayed lots of unbelievable human cruelty. For example, slavery in the 18th and 19th century, African Americans were forced into harsh work labor because of their skin color. Then in the 20th century, a determined dictator, Adolf Hitler, murdered and tortured eleven million lives. This horrifying event was called the Holocaust, it occurred in 1933 but ended in 1945. Adolf Hitler was angered about the result of World War 1, so he blamed Jewish people, the disabled, and other groups. During the holocaust, the eleven million lives were forced into harsh work labors or was put into gas chambers and was killed instantly. People described the Holocaust as inhumane act, and the people that survived it, could really say it was a scarring memory.

One of the most sorrow thing that human would ever have been through is to be treated inhumanity and brutally abused. Like the quote clearly stated, “Band-Aids don’t fix bullet hole”, Holocaust had given the Jews a deep scar that would follow them until they buried down under the ground. The nightmare began when Hitler took over the control and targeted to assassinate 6 millions of alive Jews who were living in Germany. They were all murdered in different ways, it could be starving till death, forced to do overwork or got whipped as a punishment for not working hard. Overall life was tough for them, they were forced to work long hours and lived in a poor conditions. Jews were born to be the target for Hitler and the Nazis to discriminate

A fact which we all have to emit is that humanity existence always creates conflicts and fighting which we call "WAR". In war, people kill each others for many reasons ---- resources, personal benefits, territories, powers, revenge, etc. In war, one becomes a hero for killing human lives and eventually he gets honored and well-known in people 's heart. The Holocaust, according to Germans, was the war between Germans and Jews. Approximately six million Jews included 960,000 innocent children died during Hitler 's regime called Nazism. Unlike the "hero(s)" whom people honor, the Holocaust was a hideous crime and the participants were bloody murderers. Today people are taught about the Holocaust

I was amazed how people could kill people in such a way and made me interested to search in this topic. The Holocaust killed more than six millions Jews, other many homosexual, Gypsies and others considered deviant under the command of Adolf Hitler. All the Jews from all over the Europe were shipped by SS, Hitler’s security force, and thrown into gas chambers. In the gas chambers the Jews were exposed with poisonous gas which killed them and helped perform different human experiments for crazy Nazi scientists. I think with such a power United States could have done far more to save those 6 million Jews but unfortunately they didn’t take any major step to save them. After the autumn of 1941, the Nazi let the Jews fleet the country but very few European countries were willing to accept them. America was also not willing to accept the Jews because it feared the unemployment problem after the new immigrants were exposed to the country. During the Holocaust Jews were treated like an animals. It is said that Jews were killed and their fat was used to make soaps and their bones to make bottoms. The world could have done much more to save Jews but no country went there to support them instead watched them get killed in the gas chambers. Roosevelt and his advisers thought that the best way to handle the holocaust was to end the war and yes, the end of the war gave an end to the horrifying

The Holocaust revealed the extreme evil in human nature on both a grand and small scale. Hitler, a strong supporter of antisemitism, had an agenda to create a dominant Aryan race and would stop at nothing to diminish the Jewish population. This meant forcing innocent Jewish people into death and labor camps, where conditions were brutal and treatment was atrociously inhumane. Overtime, this grand scale oppression sparked anger and violence within the victims. Instead of supporting one another in times of trouble, they began to commit senseless acts of violence towards one another in response to the cruelty they faced. Survival became their highest value, at any cost. Elie Wiesel witnesses this first hand on many accounts and spends his life striving to educate the world about the horrors of the Holocaust. In his Holocaust memoir, Night, he uses the motifs: night, silence, and flames, to develop the idea that evil is part of human nature.

Imagine a world where families, friends, and neighbors that you have known for many years are no longer dependable. They can very well be your enemies. Giving you away to the Nazi’s simply because that was the social norm. Day by day, your loved ones are taken away to concentration camps and never seen again. This was the nightmare that all the Jews had to face on a daily basis during the Holocaust. Hitler understood the power of speaking up, which is why he shot down any means of rebellion with total force. He also brainwashed the German youth; removing the ability to think for one’s self. The end result, was the slaughter of six million innocent Jews by the end of World War Two. I repeat, six million people died in the most horrific and inhumane ways possible. Many of you must be thinking. “The Holocaust occurred a long time ago, how could something that horrible occur today?” And those who think that are truly wrong. The Bosnian Genocide that occurred in 1995, was the cause of 8,373 innocent lives. Not to mention the mental and physical injuries that occurred during this

If we take a minute to look back on history, we see a terrifying event that took place during WWll. This event practically broke our society to pieces, scarred many hearts, and devastatingly took many lives. This event caused many people to be targeted, tortured, and killed. Miserably, this event still hurts many people today. This tragedy is known as the Holocaust.

Everyone looks at the Holocaust as just a time in history to be remembered. That was exactly my perspective, until actually looking into this topic. After reading these many articles, ID cards, and oral histories, my view was instantly switched; almost too much. As most people don’t like to think about the past and bad things that have happened, I think everyone needs to take a few minutes just to understand the holocaust. The people of the Jewish community during this time had it hard. They were attacked for no reason and were treated like dirt when they are the same as anyone else. Imagine being abused just for your ethnicity, or anything else you don’t have control over. Nazi Germany, under the rule of Hitler was putting a

As they were starving, filthy, alone, and emotional destroyed. Prisoners were fed barely nothing, if they were lucky, they were fed watery soup, or found a piece of turnip or potato peel. They were forced to work for the Nazi’s, and could do nothing about it. Forced to watch the people they love die, then carry them off, like dead animals. They were tired, and they were physically broke down, but if they stopped, they were beaten or killed. You would have to be mentally ill to think you’re doing justice to the world by doing this to people. Hitler had no mental illness that anyone found, but his father was very abusive towards him. This could have possibly sparked an evil thought process of pain and suffering. Hitler said that all Germany’s problems had been caused by the Jews, and sadly many believed him. He stated they caused the loss of World War I, and other important incidents in Germany. Another factor was race. According to the Nazis the ‘Aryan race’ was the best and strongest race. Jews were of another inferior race. In fact so inferior that they were not considered to be ‘people’ by the

     The Holocaust is one of the most horrifying crimes against humanity. "Hitler, in an attempt to establish the pure Aryan race, decided that all mentally ill, gypsies, non supporters of Nazism, and Jews were to be eliminated from the German population. He proceeded to reach his goal in a systematic scheme." (Bauer, 58) One of his main methods of exterminating these ‘undesirables' was through the use of concentration and death camps. In January of 1941, Adolf Hitler and his top officials decided to make their 'final solution' a reality. Their goal was to eliminate the Jews and the ‘unpure' from the entire population. Auschwitz was the largest

The holocaust was one of the biggest crimes against humanity that has occured throughout history. The holocaust was a genocide that happened in World War 2 killing an estimated 17 million people. The main goal behind the holocaust was for Nazi Germany, which was led by Adolf Hitler to exterminate all the jewish people. This traumatic event began in January of 1993 and didn’t end till May of 1945, this time frame was traumatizing for anyone who experienced it or heard of it. Adolf Hitler was a ultra nationalistic leader and took everything he did to the extreme. He found that the people of pure german descent were racially superior to all the other races especially those of jewish descent. If someone didn’t qualify to be within the superior race they abstained an excessive amount of abuse physically and mentally. Nazi Germany formed concentration camps where they would work people to death or exterminate

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.
