Silence During The Holocaust

The advance of Hitler and his soldiers were daunting. Although, the German citizens had nothing to fear. They went on with their daily routines and lived life as nothing had happened. They were not disrupted nearly as much as the unfortunate Jewish population facing mass genocides. The Jews were wrenched out of their homes, forced into the ghettos, and lost all of their civil rights. They were no longer treated like citizens or people by the Nazis. As the Jews were decried, the majority of German citizens did not lend a helping hand. The German townspeople in the novel Night, by Elie Wiesel, remained satisfied, despite the detention of the Jews because they neglected the appalling actions against the Jews, were self-centered, and power hungry.

In the world during the time of the Holocaust, there was indifference towards the suffering of millions of Jews. When individuals reflect about the Holocaust, the majority of the time the responsibility of the terrible events is placed upon the perpetrators. However, bystanders and witnesses indirectly affected the victims of the Holocaust as well. The silence of these people played one of the largest roles in the Holocaust, they influenced it by avoiding any type of involvement and by becoming blinded towards the suffering of others. In his Academy Award acceptance speech, Elie Wiesel says, “the opposite of love is not hate, it’s indifference”. This exert from his speech reveals the importance of the role that bystanders played in the

Fearing abuse, bystanders did not want to stop and try to help the victims of the atrocity.

While fighting for freedom a lot of important lives were lost trying to stand up for their own beliefs and rights. The Holocaust was a Jewish massacre including the lives of six million Jews. On the other hand, The Civil War was America's central event that took the lives of 625,000 people in-exchange for freedom. Both of them included acts of injustice and violence, beliefs of inequality, hatred, and societal changes. These events caused disparity in the society in which live on today.

“Never shall I forget those moments that murdered my God and my soul, and turned my dreams to ashes.” (Page 34, Night) World War II was a worldwide phenomenon full of death, despair, and destruction. The Nazis committed such terrible crimes with the aid of a psychological tool known as dehumanization. This was the act of taking the Jews identities as humans, and changing them to that of a small, worthless creature that was no more than a disturbance. Eliezer Wiesel, his father, and all of the other Jews were constantly dehumanized by tragedies throughout their time spent in Auschwitz. The consistent death and pain, concealing of all emotion, and loss of identity, all contributed to the deprivation of their humanity.

It’s about the jews and how and what happened to them after the Holocaust. The Holocaust was the time where about six million jews and one million other people dying. Most people were killed because they belonged to different races and religions. The Nazis wanted to kill people that weren’t from their same religious group. The Nazis also killed people who disrespected Hitler. Hitler was the leader of the Nazi party.

Hitler had an invincible ally without whom he could have never flourished. His ally was the world that chose to endure silence as Germany kept challenging the boundaries of the universal acceptance for its evil actions. The Holocaust didn't begin with crematoria. Hitler moved gradually, carefully intensifying his anti-Jewish guidelines. In 1935, he approved the Nuremberg Laws, depriving all Jews of German citizenship. Jews were then streaked from the businesses, their stores were rejected, they were singled out for unusual taxes, and they were forbidden from "intermarrying" with

Sacrifice by fire. The Greek definition of the word Holocaust still serves as a haunting reminder of the tragic campaign waged by the Nazis during World War II, and their “systematic, state-sponsored persecution and murder” of six million Jews and others who didn’t fit the specific vision or “perfect race.”

I don’t think this poem could be improved by adding imaginative phrases. It isn’t the type of poem for that, it is more clear cut. I think the poem can’t just be read and needs to be thought about it because the final line really made me think that after he didn’t speak out for anyone when they came and persecuted him nobody was there to help either.

Behavior of the individuals caused the Holocaust. There were different views about the Holocaust. Most of the Jews were scared while other races did not care about the Jews, but what they get out of the Holocaust. The Jews feared that Hitler would destroy their race completely. Ian Kershaw said “Terror alone would not have sufficed to quell objections, had the so called [Jewish Question] been an issue of importance, relevance, and above all self-interest to a large number of Germans” (qtd. in Causes and Motivations). The Jews were too scared to do anything. They were not able to do anything to prevent the Holocaust from happening. The Jewish leaders who were supposed to protect their race did not speak up against the hate that the Jews were

There are many many important factors of the Holocaust. Do you ever wonder what happened in the Holocaust? How about why it happened? Do you know how they killed the Jews or where they killed the Jews? Do you know how long it lasted? What happened to Adolf Hitler?

The holocaust was very sad,during world war ll Adolf Hitler thought that Germany should be a racial infirmary. Also he did not think that disabled people deserve a life. He kicked out the jews and many more people that were not germane.

The decision of the United Nations to relinquish the western portion of Palestine, present day Israel, to the surviving Jewish population was a direct result of the Holocaust during World War II, which not only stimulated religious unrest in Europe, but also the rest of the world. With the German Dictator, Adolf Hitler, and his rise to power in 1933, a period of despair and fear for the Jewish population throughout Europe erupted. As Adolf Hitler commenced his plan to build the perfect German race, he set forth the motion of a mass extinction of the Jewish population, known as The Holocaust. The Holocaust lasted from 1933 to the end of World War II and had taken the lives of over 12 million Jews and any other inferior races that were seen as a plague to mankind. The decimation to the Jewish population was severely expedited when World War II began as part of Hitler’s Final Solution, which placed many Jews in concentration, work or death camps. After the end of the war the United Nations was formed to replace the obsolete and incompetent League of Nations and to maintain peace around the world. The U.N. was given control of the territory of Palestine from the British and after much consideration on November 29th of 1947 the UN Resolution 181 was passed, which created a Jewish State and a state for Palestine. As a result of the U.N. Resolution 181 immediate conflict emerged throughout Asia, eventually proliferating across the world and impacting the ideology of many modern day
