Kristallnacht Reflection

The Holocaust was a disaster affecting many people's lives, mainly targeting Jewish people. They were also against Poles, Gypsies, Russians, The Disabled, Jehovah's Witnesses and Homosexuals. During the Holocaust six million Jews were murdered and many others were treated inhuman and killed. People who were affected by the Holocaust were discriminated, segregated and hated. This people were mistreated and their freedom was taking away, just by having different beliefs and have a different looks.

Jews were discriminated during this time. They were treated unfairly. An example of how they were treated is from the book, “every jew had to wear a yellow star.” ( Wiesel, 11) They wore this because the Nazis wanted to single them out because of who they were. When they were in concentration camps, the prisoners had to shave their head bald and dress in rags. “ He ultimate affront to their identity was replacing of every prisoner’s name with a number.” ( The Guardian) Their own identities were taken away. “Hitler’s racial notions were implemented by measures that increasingly excluded jews from German society.” ( Holocaust Denial) Adolf HItler and the Nazi party were anti-semitic toward jews. That means

The Holocaust was a mass slaying of groups of people which that Germany saw as inferior. This included the jews, Soviets, disabled, gay people, etc. The holocaust mostly ran from January 30, 1933 - May 8, 1945. During this time period, concentration camps were made in most of Europe, mostly the nazi occupied territory. These camps

The Holocaust was the murder and persecution of approximately 6 million Jews and many others by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. The Nazis came to power in Germany in January of 1933. The Nazis thought that the “inferior” Jews were a threat to the “racially superior” German racial community. The death camps were operated from 1941 to 1945, and many people lost their lives or were forced to work in concentration camps during these years. The story leading up to the Holocaust, how the terrible event affected people’s lives, and how it came to and end are all topics that make this historic event worth learning about.

The Holocaust could be best described as the widespread genocide of over eleven million Jews and other undesirables throughout Europe from 1933 to 1945. It all began when Adolf Hitler, Germany's newest leader, enforced the Nuremburg Race Laws. These laws discriminated against Jews and other undesirables and segregated them from the rest of the population. As things grew worse, Jews were forced to wear the Star of David on their clothing. The laws even stripped them of their citizenship.

The Horrifying event all started when Germany appointed Adolph Hitler as their leader. The Holocaust began January 30, 1933 and lasted through May 8, 1945 (History 1). The Holocaust affected numerous of Jews and killed approximately 6 million (History 1). To blame for this uncivil act is Hitler and also the Nazis. The Holocaust was a very traumatic event that was a big reality check on how cruel humans can be to each other.

The Holocaust was a period of terrible experience the Jews faced throughout European history. The Nazis led by Hitler altered life of many Jews politically, socially, and economically. Jews were treated horribly in Nazi Germany, they were forced to work until they passed out, or died. The Nazis also tried to execute all Jews to exterminate the entire population of Jews in Europe. The rise of the Nazi Party in 1933 impacted negatively on the lives of many Jews throughout Europe because it changed life of Jews economically, socially,and politically, they were treated horribly, and many Jews were executed when the Nazis implemented their “ Final Solution.”

The hatred towards Jews was nothing new in that time. Throughout history Jews have been prosecuted and blamed for many of the world's problems, and Germany was the same. The treaty of Versailles was incredibly harsh on Germany as it extinguished the nations power and reduced its presets on an international scale. The Germany people especially hated the treaty of Versailles and they needed someone to blame, so lo and behold the hatred of Jews began in Germany. The TOV was signed and approved by Jewish politicians so many German peopled blamed Jews for the TOV. During the 1930s, many Jews where doctors, lawyers and bankers which

The Holocaust took place in 1941 in Germany. In total during the Holocaust six million Jews, and five million non Jews lost their lives to the Nazis. One of the nine hundred thousand survivors won the Nobel Peace Prize, and that would be Elie Wiesel. After this terrible tragedy Elie wrote the book Night describing his life as the Holocaust approached his family and the scary way he lost his family and friends to the Holocaust. The Holocaust changed Elie Wiesel in big and small ways, emotionally and his relationship with his father. The nazis starved him, beat him, make him watch horrible things (Such as Death), enslaved him, and all of this torture came to an end on May 5, 1945, when he was rescued by the Americans.

The Holocaust was the systematic genocide of the Jewish people during World War 2. This was led by the German Nazis and their leader Adolph Hitler. The Nazis gathered millions of Jews and transported them to concentration camps, where were enslaved and murdered by the thousands at a time. Elie Wiesel was only fifteen when he was taken from his home along with his family and sent to Birkenau, the main killing center in the largest concentration camp titled Auschwitz. The holocaust effectively stripped Elie Wiesel of his identity by taking him out of his home, starving and working him to death, killing his family and almost the entire Jewish population, and causing him to question his god.

Hitler believed as a “different” and a minority race, Jewish people should not live amongst those who were considered “perfect” in Hitler’s eyes; Germans who had blue eyes and blonde hair. The ultimate reason why the Holocaust came in history in the first place is because Hitler wanted a pure German race, so in order to achieve that goal he wanted the Jewish people to be put in concentration camps, take over their lives, and eventually kill them off. Over

After hour upon hours of a train ride trapped in a dark, confined room, packed with people, only being to eat tiny rations and no toilet, what awaited the Jews was an even worse fate. Death Camps. Chelmno , Belzec,
