The Babbi Yar Ravine

World War II was a terrible, chaotic war with many deaths. Innocent people were killed, only because they were a different race. During World War II, the Germans/Nazis absolutely hated the Jews for no good reason. There were prisons built to torture and use Jews for forced labor. Those prisons were called concentration camps. In World War II, three of these concentration camps were same of the largest ones created and were called the Auschwitz, Buchenwald, and the Dachau. The Auschwitz had three main camps and was located 37 miles of Krakow, the Buchenwald was constructed in 1937 about five miles northwest of Weimar, and the Dachau was one of the first camps created and has an incident that leads to many deaths.

Yes, mass murders of the Jews, but also very young children being forced to think and act a certain way and being taught to hate the Jews. The Holocaust consisted of small children doing massive things. Hitler got into so many minds and FINAGLED them into believing what he wanted. Everyone should have to study the Holocaust to get a better understanding of what happened to give them a different outlook on life and to prevent history from repeating itself. It’s even important to study the Holocaust just to be educated on what happened in the past. Although learning about the horrific acts toward the Jews is very important, people should also be informed on what was happening to the people of Germany who were not anti-Jew. The German children and those who did not agree with Hitler’s beliefs and actions were put into dangerous and life changing situations. The children of Germany were wrongly stripped of their childhood by being forced to fight in wars and take on adult roles; they should have been protected; instead, they became part of the victimization of the Jews and

The Babi Yar is a ravine on the outskirts of Kiev. Kiev was the capital of the Soviet Ukraine when the Germans invaded the Soviet Union in June 1941. Some 160,000 Jews resided in Kiev, about 20 percent of the city's population. Mobile squads killed at

After WW2, there was a thing called the holocaust. There were many concentration camps all over Germany where many Jews were killed in different ways. It happened between WW1 and WW2, 1933-1945. My position on why this happened is that Germany was going through a rough time, so Hitler wanted their country to resemble power. Read on to learn more about the causes and ways the Holocaust could have been avoided.

Throughout the Holocaust, “the Nazis killed over 1.5 billion children” (Children during the Holocaust). Of these children, one million of them were Jewish. The Nazis had no good reason to kill them; they only killed these innocent children because Hitler did not care for their race. The Nazis, a forceful, merciless power led by Adolf Hitler brainwashed the country of Germany into believing that Jews and other races were awful. These children bravely fought persecution and avoided death by hiding or receiving help, which makes us remember these people like Anne Frank, but it was not just the Jewish and other races that were in trouble, the German children got into trouble by joining Hitler Youth.

The Soviet troops arrived in Mir, where Jack`s parents lived, and took control a few days after the invasion. The troops seemed friendly. The Russians chose not to acknowledge the “Jewish problem.” The Russian occupation was not too bad, especially when compared to the German occupation. In June 1941, Germany invaded the eastern part of Poland. They turned on their Russian allies who were caught by surprise by the Nazi Blitzkrieg and did not put up much of a fight. At the beginning of their occupation, the Nazi`s were secretive about their plans and actions. Then, “about two months after the initial occupation, the action against the Jews were intensified (page 40, Jack and Rochelle).” The Jews were instructed to give up all valuables and then pack. The Jews were headed for the ghetto, which “was located in the worst part of town (page 40, Jack and Rochelle).”

The holocaust was one of the most considerable crimes committed against humanity. The Nazi’s boycotted all the Jewish stores. However, a minimum amount emigrated. Although at one point when Jewish wanted to flee, country's didn't accept them knowing the fact there's a lot of them. After the problem hit the Nazi’s that their are too many Jewish they began to discover ways to decrease the amount of Jews. Not until they planned to put them in camps. The Nazi’s put the Jewish in the ghetto to separate them from the Germans. The Jewish were treated miserably, they had the slightest amount of food that wasn't enough for them.

Beginning in the early 1930’s, the Nazi party found ways to hurt Jewish people, economically, emotionally, and physically. Official laws and decrees were made to ensure the economic and legal downfall of Jewish people. Jews were exempted and expelled from their professions and practices, stripped of education, revoked from their citizenship, and much more. Jews were also physically harmed; Nazis brutally and inhumanely attacked and molested Jews of all ages and genders. Being physically and legislatively attacked took a toll on the Jewish people. The emotional trauma and scars would be permanent. Growing up being taught that you are inferior or deserved to be beaten and stoned is horrendous for oneself. The Nazis were purposely abusive to

People say that the reason we study history is to learn from our mistakes. The Holocaust was a very big mistake. The genocide that happened in and around Germany killed over eleven million innnocent humans, and was one of the worst of its kind. It is also imfamous for how well it was concealed from the the those outside of Europe. Tens of thousands of people were being killed daily, and the world was oblivious.

The Holocaust was an example of how horrible humanity can be, with over 6 million deaths, it is still remembered today. Throughout Europe, many people were placed in concentration camps, and most were placed in ghettos before this. Many groups decided to rebel against this, however, including within the ghettos.

The Holocaust was one of the most traumatic event that brought divesting news all over the world about how heartless people can be. The fact that Adolf Hitler led a territory of Germans to against the Jews has been the dumbest thing I have ever heard. If you think about it the Germans were trying to get rid of races. Let me take you a few years back, Hitler came up with a plan it’s called the “Final Solution”. The final solution is where Hitler felt any inferior towards the Jews. He thought that the reason he lost the war was because of the Jews existence in Europe. Over the years of 1941-1946 over millions people were killed. Those who were killed was because of the simple fact they were Jews. Nazis wipe out every Jews they can think of including

The Nazis’s were very brutal with their plan to dehumanize the Jews with their nasty and sick tactics.

As early as age thirteen, we start learning about the Holocaust in classrooms and in textbooks. We learn that in the 1940s, the German Nazi party (led by Adolph Hitler) intentionally performed a mass genocide in order to try to breed a perfect population of human beings. Jews were the first peoples to be put into ghettos and eventually sent by train to concentration camps like Auschwitz

     The Holocaust is one of the most horrifying crimes against humanity. "Hitler, in an attempt to establish the pure Aryan race, decided that all mentally ill, gypsies, non supporters of Nazism, and Jews were to be eliminated from the German population. He proceeded to reach his goal in a systematic scheme." (Bauer, 58) One of his main methods of exterminating these ‘undesirables' was through the use of concentration and death camps. In January of 1941, Adolf Hitler and his top officials decided to make their 'final solution' a reality. Their goal was to eliminate the Jews and the ‘unpure' from the entire population. Auschwitz was the largest

When Germany invaded Soviet Russia, Himmler gave orders to the SS Cavalry Brigade in Russia to “shoot all Jewish men and in addition demanded that violent measures were to be taken against Jewish women.” Himmler’s orders were understood differently by both the 1st Cavalry and the 2nd Cavalry, as the 1st Cavalry murdered all Jews without distinction which meant, men women and children were murdered.. According to Peter Longerich on August 11 the mounted unit reported that the 1st Cavalry from August 3rd to the 11th “had shot 6,504 people, although the full total can be estimated at 11,000 people.” The 2nd SS Cavalry Regime shot 6,526 people between August 5th-11th, but many believe that number was closer to 14,000 . Unlike the 1st SS cavalry Regime a majority of the people murdered by the 2nd regime were mostly men. The final Report by the SS Brigade that was written on September 18 1941 reported that more 25,000 Jews were murdered in August alone. Peter Longerich estimates that by the end of 1941 that the number of European Jews killed “during the first two phases of the persecution of the Jews in the occupied Eastern areas must be of the order of at least 500,000.” Even before the Wannsee Conference took place Jews in Europe were being murdered in large numbers in countries that Germany were occupying; countries such as Soviet Russia and Poland.
