Think back and imagine your own personal worst experience in life… then multiply it by a thousand; to what a person would have to endure daily in one of these buildings. The brutality, abuse, neglect, pure mental and physical torture is something uncompressible. For someone, anyone to benefit from such circumstances is shameful and honestly the most disrespectful thing I can imagine, I personally don’t think
One of the many reasons why the jewish called them “DEATH CAMPS”. (living conditions, labor and executions)
There has been many stories on how cruel the victims of the Holocaust were treated, especially in the concentration camps. The Auschwitz concentration camps, out of many other camps is where this all occurred.The victims were abused and put through forced labor, it was physically and mentally hard for them to live in the camps knowing in the matter of days they will die. The prisoners in the camps were forced to work, the sick and disabled prisoners were killed as they were seen as “useless” since they were not capable of working. The labor consisted of digging ditches, leveling the ground, laying roads, and constructing new blocks and buildings for a tough 11-14 hours a day. During the tiring and inevitable hours of working, the prisoners had small rations of food.The meals were
Gruesome Playground Injuries is a play written by Rajiv Joseph, the play had its world premiere in October 2009 and an Off-Broadway production was open January 2011. Rajiv Joseph thought of the play while having a drink and talking with his friend he then realized that you can mark chapters of your life with injuries and decided to write a play about it. I have decided to write a review of this play to go over how Aristotle's six components of a play have contributed to the overall experience the play provides.
In Yoshiko Uchida’s, Desert Exile, she claims, “ Each stall was now numbered, and ours was number 40. That the stalls should have been called “apartments” was a euphemism so ludicrous it was comical” (Uchida 248). Uchida explains her experience in an internment camp, the families were told they would be living in apartments, when, in fact, they would be leaving in old animal barns. Japanese Americans were shipped to the desert, herded into barns to live and forced to wait in lines to eat. Ultimately, these prisoners were treated less than human and more like animals. Although this treatment of the Japanese Americans in the Internment camps was horrible, the conditions in the concentration camps were unpleasant, in Warren’s book, she explains, “Rumors about the war, rumors about upcoming “selections,” when SS officers would weed out the weakest prisoners and ship them off somewhere” (Warren 73). In the same way the prisoners in the Internment camps were treated like animals, the prisoners in the Concentration camps had it way worse . They were so weak they would be picked off to be sent somewhere else, most likely to be killed. Similarly the prisoners in the Concentration camps had it really bad, they barely had a living place like the Japanese prisoners did. They acquire way less, sometimes no food in the Concentration camps but the Japanese people received dessert at one point. Both camps had their ways of being negligent and miserable than the other. All in all the Concentration camps were way worse than the Internment camps, and they both had very inhuman
All throughout history, Prison war camps Sorta became a thing of the norm . Whether it is in Nazi ,Germany during World War II or The United States during the civil war. Both packed and riddled with disease, both brutal, no doubt, but one more than the other.
A good reaction arises in me when I see the union of society as you can clearly see in these videos analyzed; For example, in the video the movie Holding Ground part 2 About the Dudley Street Initiative in South Boston and Cabrini Green in Chicago, clearly see as a culture is work of a neighborhood in a way that reaches social neglect and harms the community general because poor hygiene and poor services become absolute owner and harm the good development of that community.
Throughout history of the world , we have experienced many horrific occurrences, two of these being the Holocaust and Japanese internment. Although both of these incidents are terrible, the Holocaust was much worse. The Jewish people were put ti to concentration camps but by Nazis by Adolph Hitler was racist towards them. The Japanese were relocated to internment camps. The way of life in these camps are way worse then anyone knows.
One of the most famous concentration camps, Auschwitz, had some of the poorest living conditions. In Auschwitz, the prisoners lived crammed tightly in small, brick barracks. Since the prisoners simply couldn’t all fit inside these barracks, they were also forced into basements and lofts, along with hundreds of others. The tight living quarters were a main factor in the spreading of diseases and epidemics. In another concentration camp named “Birkenau”, the barracks had two styles which included both brick and wood. The brick barracks were hastily built, and were very dangerous and unsafe. Even though these brick barracks weren’t fit to hold people inside them, more than 700 prisoners were assigned to each barrack. The barracks did not have any way to heat or cool the rooms, and also lacked any sanitary facilities. The second style of barrack at the Birkenau concentration camp was another wooden barrack, except these were made to fit approximately fifty-two horses, not hundreds of prisoners. These barracks had many rodents and vermin, and had no way to prevent the damp roofs from leaking on the prisoners. Also, the foul smell and prisoner’s diarrhea made the already difficult living conditions much
These detention centers are proven to be beyond poorly equipped and lack properly trained medical personnel. Dora Schriro, a former Homeland Security advisor says...
In the Texas Death Row YouTube video, three men were filmed through their journey living on death row, which include: Will Earl Pondexter Jr., Johnny Raw Johnson, and David Martinez.
It's so alarming that I can't even picture what it must have been like! Even with the Jews personal items being taken, their life-sustaining needs were hardly provided for them by the Nazis. It was pure torture what the did to these people and is under no circumstances justified in any case.
During the BBC documentary, that shed light to what truly takes place behind the walls of the facility, an American citizen’s heartfelt message to President Obama to continue with the commission hearing to seek justice she stated “you must purse justice for the 3000 victims of September 11th and I ask this in my son Justin’s memory”(Portillo). Justin’s mother’s heartfelt outcry, shown in the documentary, to the President and to the United States government that justice has still not been reached for the deceased or their loved ones. This is a reminder to those that even for a second consider closing this facility that these three thousand people that lost their lives not only were robbed of the opportunity to live fulfilled lives, but also to take part in the lives of their loved ones. The pain that the nation went through during this time has ran deep throughout the nations core and this pain has been reflected in countless efforts to avenge the death of the ones lost during this attack and to prevent others like it. If we were to take the approach of releasing the prisoners we would not only be releasing criminals back into the worlds’ society, but we would also be neglecting the feelings of many Americans.
They have little rights and are rejected to basics rights such as a speedy trial and to court-appointed legal counsel (Reyes). They also separate families in the process of detention, taking an already traumatic situation worse. There has also been allegations of sexual assault and physical abuse to those detained, though the government says they found no evidence of this. The government also is required to have at least 34,000 people detained in these camps, which to me seems inhumane to have a required amount imprisoned (Reyes). Meanwhile the fact that they treat people horrible and with basically no rights, this imprisonment cost the governments a ton. Detaining a person a night cost $161, while we could alternatively and more humanely give someone a ankle bracelet (without detaining them) costing the government $17 a day (Reyes). These camps are another example of not giving someone rights due to being another
In one particular asylum in La Bicetre, that was located in Paris, patients were chained to walls in dark cramped cells. In this same institution these patients only had enough room to feed themselves, so they were forced to sleep upright. The quality of the food was not cared for and the staff members did not pay any attention to who was being fed and had no intention of caring. Rooms were cold, they were forced to sit in their own manure, and the only visits were to deliver food to the cell. These conditions were not just retained to La Bicetre but throughout the world around the times of the 1500 hundreds to the early 1900 hundreds. If you thought these conditions were harsh many patients that had personality disorders were experimented
After viewing The Lobotomist, it makes me realize how grateful I am for the policies currently in place for research and approval. This video demonstrated how the treatment of patients and other physician’s opinions have progressed for the better. What really stood out to me was that during that time period, it was considered unethical to publically criticize another physician. In current time, individuals have no problem critiquing each other. It is encouraged to get opinions from others colleagues and specialist. The video also discussed how physicians had control over whatever they wanted to do to patients. They did not even need to give informed consent for their testing or procedures. It baffles me that patients were not even told what
