Only about 3,546,211 people survived the Holocaust. Adolf Hitler was the main leader of the Holocaust, he did this because of his discrimination of Jews.

The salem with trials The Salem witch trials was one of the biggest travesty’s in our history. During the witch trials many people got jailed or were executed. Superstition controlled the Salem Village and controlled villages around them to a point everyone was terrified. To understand the American history I believe that it is imperative for people to understand and learn about the Salem witch trials.

The Salem witch trials were an infamous series of prosecution and hearings of people in the colony of Massachusetts. These people were accused of witchcraft and were also said to be possessed by the devil. The majority of the trials began in January 1692 and ended by September 1692. Around two hundred individuals had been accused and twenty had died during the craze of the trials. These trials have had a legacy which has lasted for centuries.

The terror that raged through Salem Village in 1692 caused the citizens to accuse and execute each other because of suspected witchcraft. The afflicted girls’ mysterious behavior activated a hysterical fear of witches, causing the Salem witch trials.

Witch hunting was the persecution and possible execution of individuals considered to be ‘witches’ loyal to the devil. It was an all too common occurrence from 1603-1712 all over Europe. However in order to understand why this happened the context must be taken into account. It was a time of change, the Renaissance - the rebirth of culture, ideas and attitudes to living. The Reformation had also only been implemented in England in the last 80 years back from 1603, when it had previously been catholic for centuries. The English civil war from 1642 to 1651 is argued to have played a part in the intensification of the witch hunts in England due to the peak in executions whilst it was on going. Some historians have taken the view that in time of crisis certain groups can be victimised like in wars, famine, disease outbreaks and changes in society structure.

This paper deals with how witchcraft began in Salem. The idea of witchcraft spread to Salem from England. Mass hysteria could have set in after two girls began acting strangely and accusing people of hurting them. Some people were scared Samuel Parris was going to change their way of life and accusing people of witchcraft seemed to be a solution. Another theory was there was ergot in the rye they were eating and this was causing them to act strangely.

Human bodies, legitimacy, and evolution are three of the categories that were the foundation in finding those to be a witch or in bed with the devil during the time of 1455 in Germany. Human bodies were tortured, disfigured and viewed as wicked by many individuals at the time. The legitimacy of an individual’s confession, accusation, trial and holiness was constantly tested for wickedness of the devil. While the category of evolution displays how as time progress the witch craze declined but the methods of finding witches intensified.

What kind of woman would go to an extreme to kill not only her king and his daughter, but also her most precious gift, children, all due to love? Euripides Greek drama Medea, which dates back to 431 B.C.E conveys this image of a woman named Medea, who was not only a powerful foreigner who did the impossible to follow the man she loved through ocean waters, but also, viewed as a witch who threatened lives and who was feared. Does Medea really deserve or convey an aura of being a witch? or convey characteristics of being a human being? Her actions seem to show traits of being a woman deeply in love, human qualities, rather than a witch.
