Listening To Eva Kor's 'Night'

After this ideology was generally accepted, concentration and extermination camps were established and were of primary importance to the Nazi totalitarian state. A crucial part of the enforcement of these fundamental beliefs was the “ideological indoctrination of the elite formations…” (Total Domination, 282) The elite formations were the SS men and the guards of the concentration camps. Their brainwashing was especially important to keep this evil system in line. The violent aspect of the enforcement of this twisted ideology involved “absolute terror in the camps” (Total Domination, 282) Cruelty was of great importance to the dehumanization of the inmates in the camps. And due to general acceptance and banal compliance “the atrocities…become…the practical application of the ideological indoctrination” (Total Domination, 282) Furthermore, because most people just supported the Nazis and threw out common sense, the camps became a practical institution in the reinforcement of the totalitarian state. In reference to how important concentration camps

For a result of "The Holocaust is one of the greatest atrocities in history, and today it's hard to look at it and understand just what could lead so many German people to participate in such blind hatred of their fellow man. During the Holocaust, a huge percentage of the German population - 8.5 million - were members of the Nazi party. Soldiers and officers worked to round up more than six millions Jews as well as millions of other people they deemed undesirable, and then murder them outright. Trying to understand the causes of the Holocaust is difficult, primarily since there is really no single cause or trigger that can be pinpointed. Instead, many different factors have to be considered" is what http://www.hitlerschildren.com has to say about the matter. One of those factors is the blind hatred toward the Jews. Why they were hated so much is anyone's guess could be Hitler's influence on the people or some other anonymous reason but It was one of the many causes of the

The holocaust was established by hitler to execute even more jews. About 6 million jews lost their lives during the holocaust. German authorities targeted groups that had a different racial inferiority. During world war II the germans went by the “final solution” a policy to murder all jews. The holocaust was a big shock for the jews. This dramatic experience still haunt the streets of germany.

The German public were not exactly aware to what was happening to the Jews in those camps, so they lived their everyday lives normally, happy. A German person would've praised Hitler and loved him for all the good things he had done for their country. They were no longer struggling as a country, their glory was brought back. While a German lived happily at ease, a Jew would be in one of the concentration camps

People that survived the Holocaust were optimistic and/or hid but today most are guilty. They have guilt in them because they survived while others were dying amongst them.Surviving World War II meant freedom but many did not get to that point, unfortunately. They were brutally murdered or died either from working too much , starvation, and/ or diseases that spread like wildfire. Unbelievably, smells from the gas chambers, where victims were poisoned with gasses, are still present at concentration camps locations . Many survivors have never been able to get over this horrific event that took place because of the terrifying memories from the camps. Memories of how ruthlessly people were being killed, disgusting food, and the hard work, haunt

Denial of the Holocaust War is a monster, consuming everything in its path, with no sense of mercy or leniency. A creature of true chaos, it thrives and feeds from the destruction of whatever it touches. Only to be continually fed by its inner demons, man, an even bigger evil than war itself. All in all in true retrospect, man is war.

The Nazi leadership aimed to deceive the German population, the victims, and the outside world regarding their genocidal policy toward Jews. Positive stories were fabricated as part of the planned deception. One book printed and distributed in 1941 reported that in Poland, German authorities had put Jews to work, built clean hospitals, set up soup kitchens for Jews, and provided them with newspapers and vocational training. By 1944 most of the international community knew about the camps and were aware that the Germans and their axis partners brutally mistreated prisoners although exact details about the living conditions were unclear. The existence of the Nazi camps was known by most of the European governments long before the beginning of World War II.

The Holocaust was a bloodbath that was instigated by jealousy and lies. In 1921, 7 years after WWI the germans had just taken the tool in losing the war. They were the low class bottom feeders. While the Germans were fighting the Jews in Germans seized the opportunity to take control. The Jews worked themselves and eventually found themselves sitting comfortably at the top of the order in Germany. When the Germans came home they realized that they were now longer the superior. Adolf Hitler saw this and took advantage of the Germans vulnerability .He said a speech that resembles to that of one that was given 826 years before. He told the Nazi’s that they would once again be in power, and that they once again would be the ones who were respected.

Was Macbeth tricked or pushed into committing the murders? Or is he really the reason why he murdered so many to keep his power? This is an essay about the play Macbeth, written by William Shakespeare. Macbeth is a noble warrior serving his King Duncan. After Fighting and winning wars Macbeth has encounters with witches who tell him he will be Thane of Glamis, Thane of Cawdor, and then future King. Macbeth becomes Thane of Glamis and Cawdor and begins to believe the prophecies as if they were a horoscope. Macbeth who is pushed by his Wife kills Duncan and also kills his friend Banquo. Macduff does not like Macbeth so he joins forces with Duncan's son Malcolm. Teamed together they go against Macbeth's army. Macduff kills Macbeth severing his head. I believe that Macbeth is responsible for his actions leading to the murders.

The Holocaust was inhuman. “The IMT defined crimes against humanity as ' murder,extermination, enslavement, deportation...or persecutions on political, racial, or religious grounds'” (Trials). Murder, extermination, persecutions all occurred during the Holocaust. Nonetheless the Nazis tried to hide what was going on in Germany. After Soviet Union's attack in eastern Belarus, the Germans began moving all the prisoners in every concentration camp in Europe. The Nazi did not want the public, especially the Allies, to know the stories in these camps. They viewed these prisoners as labors and bargain chips (Death Marches) and treated those poor men and women's lives as dust under their feet. They kept the prisoners alive only because they were “hostages”, and Germans needed those labors to work for them in order to continue fighting the war; in short, the prisoners were still useful to the Nazis. Fortunately, no matter how hard the Germans tried to cover up their crimes, the Allies found enough evidence for the trial after World War II. After the Allied troops captured the concentration camps, the survivors testified and provided evidence for British officials to use on the trials of Nazi war criminals (Testimony). The Allies sentenced the criminals guilty, executed many of the high ranking Nazi officers, and officially ended the bloody chaos.

Eighteen million Europeans went through the Nazi concentration camps. Eleven million of them died, almost half of them at Auschwitz alone.1 Concentration camps are a revolting and embarrassing part of the world’s history. There is no doubt that concentration camps are a dark and depressing topic. Despite this, it is a subject that needs to be brought out into the open. The world needs to be educated on the tragedies of the concentration camps to prevent the reoccurrence of the Holocaust. Hitler’s camps imprisoned, tortured, and killed millions of Jews for over five years. Life in the Nazi concentration camps was full of terror and death for its individual prisoners as well as the entire Jewish

     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

“Among the targets of this public program were Gypsies, an ethnic minority numbering about 30,000 in Germany, and handicapped individuals, including the mentally ill and people born deaf and blind. Also victimized were about 500 African-German children, the offspring of German mothers and African colonial soldiers in the Allied armies that occupied the German Rhineland region after World War I” (United States Holocaust Memorial Museum). Besides those beliefs, Hitler also viewed the Jews not as a religious group, but as a poisonous "race," which "lived off" the other races and weakened them. These are only some of the reasons that make the Holocaust a unique event in history.

Around the late 17th and 18th century, Europe was the place where the highly educated people known as philosophes, or philosophers were meeting to discuss new ideas relating to government, religion, economy, and the social questions presented. Unlike the past, this new Age of Enlightenment or the Age of Reason had these new thinkers that came from all areas of society such as artists, writers, journalist, professors, social reformers, and economists. These four philosophers; John Locke (1632-1704), Voltaire (1694-1778), Adam Smith (1723-1790) and Mary Wollstonecraft (1759-1797), wanted to find new ways to improve and understand their society. During this Age of Enlightenment, these philosophers helped form the society today in government,

The topic that we will be exploring in our presentation is marijuana usage in teens, specifically high school students. We will examine previous survey results within our high school pertaining the marijuana use amongst our students. Along with this, we will also look over other high schools’ data to compare and come to a conclusion of the use among teens. We will then analyze the general trends in the past few years to explain the benefits as well as risks of smoking weed. Marijuana has become and is becoming generally accepted and in some cases legalized in our society, due to this, younger generations have easier access to the drug. That is only one factor that plays a role in this problem, the next is the mentality of the youth. Both these
