Reflection On My Understanding Of The Holocaust

The Museum of Tolerance was an awesome experience for me and for all the 8th graders. We learned about the children of the holocaust , the Anne frank exhibit , and about WWll. I really like the part where there were words and it made Anne's face and she was facing the Hollywood hills and I learned that she wanted to be an actor and wanted to go to Hollywood. The most memorable parts was when we went into the gas chamber. It was just an unbelievable sensation it gave me the chills being in there and seeing that dark grey room. One of the less well know children of the holocaust was Monia Levisnski from Lithuania. I got her as I my kid when they gave us little cards. Sadly he died along with 1.5 million other children. So that is just some of the things we saw at the Museum of Tolerance, a very inspirational

During World War II an eight year old called Bruno and his family moved to a house that is next to a concentration camp due to his dad becoming Commandant. Bruno got bored one day and went to wander around the house, he finds and entrance way and when he got to the end of it he meets a boy around the same age as him through the barbed wire of the concentration camp. The boys begin a forbidden friendship oblivious to the real nature of their surroundings.

In the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum many features include vivid exhibits, memorials, plenty of educational opportunities for all ages, and

It all started almost eighty years ago and the history of it will never be forgotten. The Holocaust was the mass murder of approximately six million Jews that took place during World War II. There were nine million Jews who lived in Europe before the Holocaust, that means approximately two-thirds of them were killed. There were over one million Jewish children that were killed in the Holocaust, and there were almost two million Jewish women and three million Jewish men were also killed in the Holocaust. The Holocaust was controlled by a man named Adolf Hitler and his army of men who helped him. They were called the National Socialist German Workers, also known as “The Nazi Party” for short.

When you think of the Holocaust, what do you think about. Is it the millions of Jews lives that were taken? Or is it a great, but wicked speaker named Adolph Hitler. Adolph Hitler, Auschwitz, and American involvement are some key roles in the holocaust. Adolph Hitler is probably one of the worst people ever to live. When people talk of evil deeds he is at the top of the list. He was a man of words, and could use them to his advantage. He had an ability to talk and make the Germans believe that the Jews were the reason for the problems in their country; so he gave them the idea to move them out.

The question of whether the Holocaust could have been predicted or prevented goes well beyond determining the guilt or innocence of the German people during the 1930s and 40s. The question matters because understanding how the Holocaust was able to happen and what presaged its occurrence is the only way to prevent similar atrocities in the future. A popular answer to this question depends on absolving the German population of any sort of collective guilt, on the assumption that they simply could not have predicted the scope of Hitler's plans. Walter Laqueur argues that "there was no precedent in recent European history for the murderous character of German National Socialism," and as such it would be "ahistorical" to suggest "that everyone should have known what would happen once Fascism came to power" (Laqueur 233). However, Laqueur's own approach is ahistorical, because he implies somehow that Naziism sprung up out of uniquely novel circumstances, and that its ideology had no precedent in Europe. In reality, as author Daniel Goldhagen argues, the precedent for the actions of Hitler and the Nazis can be found in "ideas about Jews that were pervasive in Germany, and had been for decades" (Goldhagen 9). When considered in the context of the historical treatment of Jews, as well as other periods in history when radical ideologies went unchallenged, it becomes clear that the Holocaust was not an unpredictable, anomalous event, but rather the naturally and entirely-expected

The Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles educates people about how people were treated during the Holocaust and what prisoners did in the camps, resulting in the deaths of many. One of the many life-changing exhibits that may open they eyes of many was the Anne Frank exhibit. It features the life of an extraordinary young Jewish writer who lived in a Nazi-occupied country in her early teenage years . Anne is one of the most well-known victims of the Holocaust because of the diary that she kept, while she and her family were in hiding. My favorite quote by Anne Frank is, "In spite of everything, I still believe people are good at heart," because it shows that even through the darkest of times, one can still forgive and have hope for a brighter

Memories of the Holocaust continue to haunt most of the characters of Art Spiegelman’s The Complete Maus beyond 1940’s Nazi Germany and into their renewed free lives. The graphic novel depicts individuals who never truly survive the horrors of the Holocaust, and the indelible reminders of the inhumane torture an entire race of people were exposed to. Ultimately, it is the survivors of Auschwitz that must continue to relive the atrocious circumstances that resulted in the death of millions, in particular, the author’s unpredictable father Vladek, who unintentionally upholds a restricting lifestyle post war, as a reminder of the cold-blooded evilness the Jewish people were to endure in order to survive the world’s most ruthless massacre. Memories serve as mnemonic glimpses which tether Art and Vladek their family’s past. It is then that second generation survivors have the ability to have a slight understanding of the guilt those who live on must now endure as a burden on their lives.

On the fourth of April, our senior class went to the holocaust museum as part of our senior class trip. There, we learned and experienced the holocaust through first-hand accounts and testimonies from the survivors of this atrocity. We had several hours to explore the four floors of this museum, but there is so many artifacts and information, you would need days to absorb it all. The entire museum is an impactful experience that makes you reflect on everything you have in your life. The most impactful thing in the museum, for me, did not come in the form of an artifact or picture, but from the people there at the museum.

Next things next, obviously if there is a cause to an issue or situation, then inevitably there is an effect. Since there are multiple causes, multiple effects can occur as well. For each of the causes given, there is not one specific effect designated for those causes. Each of the causes have multiple effects. Therefore, a list of the possible effects is necessary in order to understand what can occur when those causes are present in reality. One possible effect is that certain groups of people may be ostracized. If an individual does not stand up for his or herself about what he or she believes and follows what the commander orders, then a catastrophe such as the Holocaust could occur. In the Holocaust, millions of Jews were scrutinized by Hitler and Germany and later massacred anonymously with people discovering this years after it had been taking place. People were hurt because of people not recognizing the difference between right and wrong. Saul McLeod, a Psychology Tutor at the University of Manchester, discusses of an individual who did not recognize the wrong in a command given to him. That individual was Adolf Eichmann who was told by a higher authority that his duty in the Holocaust was “planning of the efficient collection, transportation and extermination of those to be killed” (McLeod). Eichmann stated, according to McLeod, that “he had merely obeyed orders, and surely obeying orders could only be a good thing” (McLeod). Eichmann, obviously did not recognize the magnitude of the effect when he thought obeying orders was necessary. He probably wanted to make his leader happy so he followed the command. I guarantee that deep down inside, Eichmann thought that what he was doing was unethical but the satisfaction he received from pleasing his leader just outweighed his conscious. Because Eichmann followed orders, millions were murdered and later Eichmann himself was executed for his role in the Holocaust. Erich Fromm, who once was a psychoanalyst and philosopher, wrote an article entitled “Disobedience as a psychological and moral problem”. In this article he makes a point relative to that of Eichmann and the Holocaust. Fromm argues that “if mankind commits suicide it will be because people will obey

The term Holocaust is one that the world is used to hearing, but only a few people really know what it really means. Today the Holocaust is understood most clearly by Jews and those living during World War II, but not all currently in the world know the full meaning of what the Holocaust meant to those it affected most—the Jews. The word Holocaust is a Greek word that was used to describe the horrific historical event that occurred during World War II. The term holos means “a whole”, and kaustos means “burned” in Greek. Historically the Greek term Holocaust was used to describe the sacrificial offering burned on the altar.

Jews or Jewish people come from the religion of Judaism. Jews are considered “children of Israel”. Jews only believe in one God who they refer to as HaShem. In the late 30’s Jews were treated Horribly. To Germans Jews were considered as nothing, they were stripped of their german citizenship, couldn’t ride their bikes , weren’t allowed to go to the movies , They weren’t allowed to marry germans and they had to wear a yellow star of david to identify that they were jews.

An abstract is a brief summary—usually about 100 to 120 words—written by the essay writer that describes the main idea, and sometimes the purpose, of the paper. When you begin your research, many scholarly articles may include an abstract. These brief summaries can help readers decide if the article is worth reading or if addresses the research question, not just the topic, one is investigating.

When I went to the Holocaust Muesam with my class last year there was one thing that realy wowed me. This thing that wowed me was when I saw the list of all the children that died there. I will always remember this because when I saw the list I went and put my self in the children's parents shoes and them finding out that there chidren died. Along with the thing that wowed me, something realy made me wounder. The thing that made me wounder when I was at the Holocaust Muesam was no Americans reacted to all the torture that the Nazis were doing to all the Jews. I will remember this because when I walked in to the gas chamber and they explained the gas I was woundering how did the Allies not come and attack the Germans as soon as they found out.

Second, there are some ideas that help me to remember the Holocaust. One idea that stands out to me the most
