So, they began piling Jews into concentration camps to kill them, Hitler would work them to death, starve them, and even murder them in gas chambers.

The Holocaust was a disaster affecting many people's lives, mainly targeting Jewish people. They were also against Poles, Gypsies, Russians, The Disabled, Jehovah's Witnesses and Homosexuals.

Over six million people died in the Holocaust. Family, friends, and other people with the same ethnicity that they didn't even know were killed left and right. From the crematory to getting hung.

The Holocaust was a tragic event that happened during WW2. Behind all of this was one man known to be one of the scariest,most evil person ever to live , Adolf Hitler. Hitler came into power

The Holocaust was an extermination of Jews. Adolf Hitler, a powerful dictator, tried to wipe out the entire Jewish population with his Nazis. He sent the Jews to his concentration camps, where they were starved, beaten, and shot. The rest worked, and some even managed to survive. When Hitler killed himself, the war came closer to an end, and the remaining Jews were saved. The Holocaust was truly a horrific event, and changed the course of history forever.

Paralyzing terror and enduring agony bind the characteristics of the Holocaust together. It expressed man’s carnal barbarism to the fullest with the rarity of human kindness to illuminate the darkness bestowed. Thankfully, there were some people who preserved the hope for humanity’s future. (The Shalom Show on TV) The Bilecki family were a part of the remarkable men and women who risked their lives to preserve others. Their heroism shone while conserving the lives of twenty-three Jews. Though their lives have been mauled and battered beyond compare, they continued to live an honourable life after the destruction caused by the Holocaust. The Bilecki family with their grace and lenity is a role model worthy of following.

This included the jews, Soviets, disabled, gay people, etc. The holocaust mostly ran from January 30, 1933 - May 8, 1945. During this time period, concentration camps were made in most of Europe, mostly the nazi occupied territory. These camps

The Holocaust was the murder and persecution of approximately 6 million Jews and many others by the Nazi regime and its collaborators. The Nazis came to power in Germany in January of 1933. The Nazis thought that the “inferior” Jews were a threat to the “racially superior” German racial community. The death camps were operated from 1941 to 1945, and many people lost their lives or were forced to work in concentration camps during these years. The story leading up to the Holocaust, how the terrible event affected people’s lives, and how it came to and end are all topics that make this historic event worth learning about.

The Holocaust was a time period in which Adolf Hitler was the dictator of Nazi Germany. He prosecuted many Jews because he believed they were the reason World War 1 started, causing the death of 100,000 German soldiers. Because of this, he made sure nearly every Jew was put into concentration camps or killed. Adolf Hitler was a man who wanted everything his way, and because of this he killed innocent people. The Holocaust was an unfair period for the Jews. The Jews were killed because of who they were, and the citizens didn’t try to do anything to help them

In 1942, three brothers by the name of Bielski displayed their benevolence and sense of unity by establishing a resistance unit to rescue and protect Jews during World War II. Tuvia, Asael, and Zus Bielski were undoubtedly motivated to rescue other jews like themselves, after the massacre of Jews on December 8, 1941 and escaping to a Belarussian forest. The partisan offered to protect and shelter any Jew in need of help and were even further motivated to go and rescue Jews that were trapped in the ghettos. While most camps made to protect Jews would not accept those who were physically unable to assist in the rebellion, the Bielski brothers showed their generosity by accepting anyone who came to them.

Hearing of the dissident Bielskis, other Jewish refugees begin to come to join the camp. Unable to provide for themselves adequately, the brothers argue over how they will take care of a growing colony of people, Zwick builds in tension between the Bielskis in an ever increasing fashion leading the moviegoer to wonder when the breaking point will come - and that it does. Anyone with siblings can relate to this pressure cooker atmosphere when you have just had enough. There is a battle between savage and civility, both inside the camp and outside. The eldest Bielski sets the tone for the behavior for those within his camp stating, “[w]e may be hunted like animals, but we will not become animals” (Zwick, Defiance).

They are very brave. They are standing up to the Nazis meaning that they deserve the memory and respect.
