Intervention In Holocaust

     Throughout history the Jewish people have been scapegoats; whenever something was not going right they were the ones to blame. From Biblical times through to the Shakespearean Era, all the way to the Middle East Crisis and the creation of Israel, the Jews have been persecuted and blamed for the problems of the world. The most horrifying account of Jewish persecution is the holocaust, which took place in Europe from 1933 to 1945 when Adolf Hitler tried to eliminate all the people that he thought were inferior to the Germans, namely the Jews, because he wanted a pure Aryan State.

The international cast of authors are all experts on the subjects they treat. The U.S. had reacted in many ways at first. The U.S. issued many visa at first. They first issued 24,000 visa per year to anyone trying to get a visa and that wanted to be in the U.S.. After that the U.S. noticed that was to little so they bumped it up to 40,000 visa that they would issueing. Each country is a story unto itself yet but a facet of the larger story. To say that the work encompasses the world is an exaggeration for in places there has been no reaction to the Holocaust or research into the subject. Asia is represented by a chapter indeed two chapters on Japan. China where thousands of Jews found refuge 18,000 from Austria alone is not included. On the European continent the Scandinavian countries are omitted so is Greece where the great Sephardic Jewish colony of Thessaloniki was obliterated an omission owing perhaps to the conception of the Holocaust as an event in the history of Ashkenazic Jewry. Spain and Portugal are also omitted to be a country to be able to have anyone traveling to get away from the holocaust at the time. Withal however the coverage is wide and generous and many countries did accept to help with anything they can after evidence was found about Hitlers cruel things he was doing to all the people that did not fit the Aryan Race also known as the Master

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 human tragedy of the Holocaust was the systematic annihilation of millions of Jews by the Nazi regime during World War II. The adversity of this persecution influenced not only the European arena, but also peoples from all over the globe and their ideas.

During the reign of the Third Reich, the symbolization of the pink triangle was used to identify the thousands of gay prisoners who were sent to extermination camps under Paragraph 175, the law that criminalized homosexuality between men. Researchers say that an estimated 5,000 to 15,000 gay men died in these camps, however this figure does not include those who were interned and later released, let alone those who died undocumented and forever forgotten to history.¹ These thousands of men were forced through excruciating cruelties with little to no reprieve or recognition of the atrocities perpetrated against them. It is because of this that while they are not a distinct racial, ethnic, or religious group, the treatment of those who bore the pink triangle during the Holocaust follows the genocidal process and as such gay Holocaust victims should be considered sufferers of genocide.

“What exactly was the difference? He wondered to himself. And who decided which people wore the striped pajamas and which people wore the uniforms” a quote from The Boy with the Striped Pajamas. The Holocaust was a genocide, the intentional killing of certain group or ethnicity, that affected the Jewish community worldwide through sorrow and sympathy of their people; and kibitzers who chose to watch until under pressure. A perfect example was the United States who stood on the sidelines, while the horrific events of the Holocaust were occurring. The United States had played a negative role in the Holocaust due to a lack of aid, immigration, and publication.

In the years of the Second World War, American leaders were aware of the plan of the Germans to exterminate all the Jews in Europe, yet they did not act to save them. The attitude in society and the state of the economy in the years leading up to the war made for conditions that did not make saving them likely.

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 was a terrible thing in history, one of the worst things to ever happen. In the article, “The Holocaust, Part Two: The ‘Final Solution’” has objectivity, but has subjectivity too. Objectivity is when something is based around facts, and subjectivity is when something has opinions in it. A lot of articles are mainly objective, but with a subject like the Holocaust, an opinion is very helpful in explaining a point. The Holocaust, Part Two: The "Final Solution" has objectivity, but has subjectivity too.

So, to make the case of how America could have responded differently would be entirely ineffective. In today’s society many people can see the similarities between the Holocaust and the way we; as a country, treat others from foreign countries. From the Great Depression to the almost “Great Recession”, and the isolation America wanted from other countries to the Muslim Ban that recently had been implemented here within the U.S. Where Nazi Antisemitism and the American Antisemitism that occurs here on a daily basis towards other religious communities and cultures. The real question that needs to be asked is, what can America, and the people of America, do to prevent something like the Holocaust from ever happening

The US response to the Holocaust was a very mixed one. On one side, the American public was misinformed about the brutalities of the Holocaust. On the other side, several government people were sympathetic towards the Jews. A few major polls were given to the American public during the Holocaust. In one of these polls, around 42 percent of Americans thought that the Germans violated the Jews due to their unfavorable characteristics. This, obviously untrue, statement shows how misinformed the American public was during the Holocaust about the harshness and laws such as the Nuremberg Laws. Another poll was given and the results showed that only 4 percent of the Americans knew that over 5 million Jews had been killed. (Response to the Holocaust

During the Holocaust there were people whose actions saved the lives of many Jewish people. An example of such a person is Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish man, who saved 20,000 Jewish lives by distributing a certificate of protection called a Schultz Pass, as well as establishing dozens of safe houses. Nicholas Winton saved hundreds of Jewish children by forging papers and sending them via train to his homeland of England. A Polish woman named Irene Gut Opdyke rescued Jews during the Holocaust by smuggling them out of the Radom Ghetto into the neighboring forest, also saving twelve Jews by hiding them in the basement of a villa she worked at. By smuggling them out of the Warsaw Ghetto and providing hiding places and false documents, Irena Sendler

Hitler and the Nazis implemented the “Final Solution” starting in 1940 and went all the way through to the end of the war in 1945 (“The Holocaust”). Millions of people’s lives were lost in the one year that the “Final Solution” commenced. Furthermore, the camps were not liberated until Soviet troops marched through German occupied Poland; giving the Nazis time to evacuate the camps (“Auschwitz). France and Britain have been allies with the United States since World War I; both countries declared war before the “Final Solution” was undergoing its terrible impact on the world. The United States could have saved millions of lives by joining in with our allies and could have possibly reduced the number of people murdered by the “Final Solution” and Hitler's desire for purity. Second, back in the United States, word has gotten around about the Holocaust, and the millions of people who were dying under Nazi influence. During the war, the United States were not focused on saving the people, but on winning the war. During very late 1941-1945 the United States should have shifted half of their focus from winning the war to helping the people in the camps (“The Holocaust”).

The crime of genocide is a horrible, despicable crime, though many have fallen victim to it throughout the years.Their voices silenced forever, leaving the world with few records of their experiences. Elie Wiesel, author and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, survived the Holocaust. His family members and friends were victims of this genocide. He captures in his memoir, Night, the grim feeling of suffering during the Holocaust when he reports, “Not a sound of distress, not a plaintive cry, nothing but a sound of mass agony and silence.” (89) At the time of the Holocaust, genocide had not been defined, but when the definition came out, it became apparent that the definition only protected

An abstract is a brief summary—usually about 100 to 120 words—written by the essay writer that describes the main idea, and sometimes the purpose, of the paper. When you begin your research, many scholarly articles may include an abstract. These brief summaries can help readers decide if the article is worth reading or if addresses the research question, not just the topic, one is investigating.
