Pros And Cons Of Living In The Holocaust

According, to the article “The Girl Who Lived Forever”, it proves to us that Anne, was a brave, kind, determined, hopeful young girl. When Anne's family was walking to, the Annex, Anne was scared, but she stayed strong and hopeful that everything would be okay. “Sweat rolled down Anne’s face as she struggled to keep up with her parents… Despite their terror, Anne and her family had to pretend that they were simply a family out for a stroll… If anyone discovered what they were doing, they could be arrested and killed.” (Lewis 6) This shows that Anne and her entire family was determined to make it even though they were very scared in the inside. Hoping to get, to the Annex safe. On August 1944, Dutch soldiers came and took her and her family

In 1933 and 1934 Hitler contrivance a policy that devastated Jewish families throughout Europe. Before the beginning of World War II, Adolf Hitler attained control of the German government and the German people through his rhetorically powerful speeches and propaganda, and the people followed his lead. In Hitler’s propaganda, which supported his racial and political ideologies, he felt a need to eliminate the Jewish community, because of inherent belief that Jews caused the fall of the German economy during the Great Depression. However, the policies of extermination that Hitler expanded in World War II concentration camps, specifically during 1942-1944, exemplify a stronger Jewish hatred than merely economics. Hitler believed that Jews were “culture destroyers”, and needed to be eliminated before they destroyed the German nation. Hitler’s ideologies are clear, but what was less clear were the U.S. populace. To interrogate U.S. reactions to what would become known as the Holocaust, this paper examines two newspaper publications. The US news article “U.S. Help for Jews Asked by Alfange: He Says We, Allies and Neutrals”attempted to create U.S. reactions supporting the assistance of Jews, while recognizing the continuing Jewish support Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt. In contrast, the news article, “Group Plans to Aid Jews In Nazi Fight” by Murphy Chairman, only expressed organizing a committee to create a plan to help eastern European Jews, but failed to push U.S. reactions

“There's only one rule you need to remember: laugh at everything and forget everybody else! It sound egotistical, but it's actually the only cure for those suffering from self-pity.” (Frank 321) Anne Frank was a young Jewish girl who went into hiding during World War II to avoid being captured by the Nazis. She and seven other people had to hide in a secret annex Prinsengracht 263 in Amsterdam. Anne received a diary on her 13th birthday and wrote about all the little things that had happened to her throughout the day.

Six million Jews being murdered and three rows of barbed wire fences, these were what took place in Jewish concentration camps and Japanese Internment camps but were these camps the same? Japanese Internment Camps were used to hostage Japanese- Americans because the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. Everyone who looked Japanese was being put in these camps. On the other hand there were Jewish Concentration Camps that Hitler held to murder Jews who threatened his government and for many other reasons. In these camps there was a lot of torture that went on. Japanese Internment camps were essentially the same as Jewish Concentration Camps because there was no general welfare provided, individuals had to give their loyalty to the government, and people

The medical experiments of the Holocaust were horrific acts with possible advancements in medicine, that go unnoticed due to current hospitals using ill-effective techniques, the EPA letting phosgene toxins infect workers, and some newspapers and agencies disregarding the use of the advancements. It is widely known, that the Holocaust was a horrible event during World War II, where Nazis would massacre Jews in a variety of ways, ranging from a firing squad to being buried alive. Horrible atrocities that ended in five million, to as many as six million Jewish deaths, among many more prisoners the Germans convicted. However, what is less known is how many of these deaths were used in medical experiments to advance medicine and medical practices.

What we can learn from the Holocaust just by examining a single victim is a lot more than just concentration camps and gas chambers. Anne’s diary entries show how she and her family reacted to this situation. In order to survive, they had to move into Mr.Franks work annex to avoid capture. The eleventh page is in the book we read about Anne’s diary entries said that Anne couldn’t even go downstairs to grab a pencil. The area they stayed in was still in business, so if they went downstairs and someone heard or found them, they could be almost immediately caught. The situation also had the Franks sharing their new home with Mr. Van Daan and his family. Anne had never been in a situation such as this one, so the experience must have been frightening,

After a lot of the rules for the Jews were set, Gerda was sent to a hard labor camp. During the Holocaust Gerda weighed 68 pounds and she was almost 21 years old, she was overworked and not treated with any sort of respect. Gerda was very strong but was definitely not treated right Just because she was a Jew shouldn’t mean that she should have to go through all this, June 8th was the last day she saw her father which is hard enough and then she got taken away on June 9th which she was taken from her mother also so she was pretty much alone, also she was only 15 years old. When Hitler began his mass-murdering many families that were Jews had to go into hiding and in this case that is exactly what Anne’s family did. “...daddy began to talk of us going into hiding… “We don’t want our belongings to be seized by the Germans , but we certainly don’t want to fall into their clutches ourselves. So we shall disappear of our own accord and not wait until they come and fetch us.”” (Frank 12). Hitler has pushed many families into hiding because if they didn’t they would risk their lives even more of getting taken away and overworked or killed. None of the Jews were treated well and they all would eventually get taken to a concentration camp or the gas chambers unless they were left unfound in

What does the Holocaust mean to you? Some would say mass genocide, the extermination of the Jews or some may not be able to define it at all. The Holocaust – one of mankind’s worst atrocities committed in the past one hundred years, full of the thirteen years of prejudice and mistreatment that was endorsed by the fascist ideals. Over twelve million people perished due to this mass genocide of all races, ages, classes, and creeds. However, for some ignorance is bliss. Some do not acknowledge these atrocities against the human race caused by their own – it is a lie! They shout. They feel dignified for their supposed superior thoughts. Although people are able to have their own rights to thought and speech, their opinions are filled with hate, ignorance, and deceit. This is why the Holocaust did happen.

There are some moments where people get desperate looking for survival , but getting away from problems isn’t a good choice after all, because that wouldn’t really help them get out of the situation. The Frank family had the opportunity to have two years to spend time together but it made it harder for them to say goodbye at the end. Anne dies dies because the camp was terrible, but probably not going into hiding would made their lives in there better. It was probably more like a punishment for them leaving even though they were Jewish.

Throughout the course we have considered various states of exception and the institutions that have accomplished dehumanizing the people imprisoned. I will be discussing three institutions that have either been concentration camps or have established torture to a great extent. The Nazi concentration camps, Soviet Union Gulags, and the Guantanamo Bay detention camp each have or have had their own way of establishing power over the people detained, all have used different methods of control to demonstrate authority, however, each dehumanized people because they had the capability to do so.

The Holocaust is a man made historical catastrophe, yet it provides us with many lessons from the repercussions of hate. Before and during World War II (1939-1945), Hitler gradually dehumanized the Jewish people, which lead up to placing them into concentration camps. Consequently, Mengele a “camp doctor” took advantage of this opportunity and cruelly experimented on prisoners (Josef Mengele). Following this, the Sikh temple shooting is another example of a tragic event with hate as a motive. We can learn many lessons from tragedies caused by hate.

Frank’s life was full of hard times and persecution. She was born on July 12, 1929. She received her famous diary on her 13th birthday, the same day of her very first diary entry (Frank 1). It was wartime 1942 in Amsterdam and Adolf Hitler was at his height of power (Byers 36). Hitler had given Germany the scapegoat they had been looking for: the Jews. World War II was raging across Europe, making its way toward changing the life of Anne Frank. The Nazis had taken much of Europe and there was barely a place the Jews could go without fear of being persecuted. The Nazi special forces, the SS Army, had taken away many of the Jewish families in Amsterdam and were offering a cash reward to anyone who turned in a Jew. The Nazis isolated the Jews from daily life: They only allowed the Jews to walk, gave them a curfew, banned them from swimming and going to the movies, and made them wear a yellow star so they could quickly be identified. Hitler fanned the flame of an age-old prejudice until it exploded into a violent hatred (Lewis 4). The icing on the cake for the Jews was when Hitler started

Annelies Marie Frank was a young girl when devastation first struck her family. Could you imagine at only the age of 12 being involuntarily forced into hiding because of your beliefs. What if you were unwillingly told to sew bright yellow stars to all your clothing. Everyone would have knowledge of your beliefs, and would often discriminante you for those beliefs. Anne Frank was a young kid just like you or I, but the struggles she faced are far worse to the many first world problems we have to day. Anne lost her ability to ride her bike, go to the movies, frolic with her friends. She could no longer go to school, and worst of all she lost her ability to go outside on Monday, the sixth of July nineteen forty-two. This was the day Anne and her

The Holocaust changed not only Jewish lives but also the lives of everyone involved. The holocaust is defined as the thorough destruction involving extensive loss of life especially through fire; however historically its definition refers to the mass slaughter of European civilians and especially Jews by the Nazis during World War II. From the beginning the Nazis who were being faithful to Hitler had specifically targeted the Jews. The Nazis had a relentless hatred for the Jews rested on the view they had of the world, which saw history as of racial struggle. They thought the Jews goal was world domination. This made the Nazis thinks that the Jews were an obstruction to Aryan dominance. They considered it their duty to eliminate the Jews,

Anne Frank was a remarkable young women she was only 13 years old the time she went into hiding. She needed to disappear into hiding because she was jew in the time of the holocaust. Her family went into hiding the day her sister Margot received a letter in the mail wanting her to report to a concentration camp. When you arrive at one of those camps there are two lines. One is if you are sick or elderly you were to be killed and the other line is they will force you to work and if you do not there can be harsh consequences. Anne family was not going to let their child be forced to work. As Hitler began to prosper, the worse these treatments were pushed. So Anne’s father, Mr. Frank, had connections in Amsterdam so he and his family moved there and they hid in the attic otherwise known as the Secret Annex. You could say, why would she need to advance into hiding when she could tell people she wasn’t a Jew? The biggest reason is if you were in public and you were a jew you needed to have the Star of David sewn somewhere visible on your garments so that everyone would know you are a Jew. In her diary, Anne wrote "In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart”. I believe Anne was optimistic when writing this. She also was probably thinking about the people
