Never Shall I Forget By Elie Wiesel

“Never Shall I Forget” by Elie Wiesel and “We Remember Them” by Sylvan Kamens & Rabbi Jack Riemer are poems that have their similarities and differences. In the poem “Never Shall I Forget” Elie Wiesel describes the environment in the Holocaust and how we should never forget a tragic memory. In “We Remember Them” Sylvan Kamens & Rabbi Jack Riemer talk about how we should remember our past. Even though the message in both poems are expressed differently there are some similarities and differences because in “Never Shall I Forget” Elie Wiesel expresses the poem in a dark tone because it was a tragic experience, while in “We Remember Them” Sylvan Kamens expresses the poem in a more light tone because he wants the readers to remember and honor our achievements in life.

Most everyone reflects on and thinks of the Holocaust as a horrifying, heartless slaughter of the Jews. The Holocaust can be a very hard, depressing issue to discuss but it is a major part of history and cannot be ignored. The Holocaust affected countless numbers of people in the past and it continues to affect many to this day. The Jewish population was the population that most affected the most through the Holocaust. Adolf Hitler had way too much power and he used that position of excessive power to nearly destroy the Jews.

During  January 30, 1933 – May 8, 1945 the Holocaust occurred . The Holocaust is a time period where German Nazis, policemen, Stormtroopers, Gestapo, and the SS Police attempted Jewish genocide.  The German Nazis, policemen, Stormtroopers, Gestapo, and the SS Police would do anything possible to get rid of the Jewish population such as killing, threatening, humiliating, burning Jewish property, and harming Jews. There are some reason why the Holocaust happened, some reasons are that as these actions committed by the German Nazis, policemen, Stormtroopers, Gestapo, and the SS Police, most of the German citizens were bystanders that saw what was happening but did nothing to stop it, even if they disagreed Germans citizens would let it happen.

This History Channel video clip uses animation for the reason of the Holocaust being gruesome and horrific. The intended audience for the video is for people who want to learn more about the rise of the Nazis and how Hitler took power of the Nazi Party. In September 1919 Adolf Hitler joined the German Worker Party, which then became the Nazi Party. President Von Hidenburg made Hitler chancellor and he took power in the government right away. Hitler, a talented speaker persuaded Germans to believe that he would make Germany better. Germans thought they found their “savior”. He blamed all Jews for the post war and punished them by the plan of total extermination with the use of concentration camps. Later Hidenburg died and Hitler made himself

A genocide where over 6 million Jewish were killed by Adolf Hitler and his Nazi soldiers that lasted from 1933-1945

There were many causes of the Holocaust that you can’t pinpoint one reason as to what drove Hitler and the NAZI’s to do it. There was always a hate against the Jews in Germany, anti semitism, he didn’t like the way they looked or acted. There was a little bit of jealousy as the Jews owned a lot and had control of banks and retail. Hitler believed in the ‘master race’ and the Jews were not part of it. After Germany lost World War One, they were not in a good place economically, money was worth nothing and because of the loss, Hitler blamed it on the Jews and he decided that he needed to get rid of them, he didn’t need them.

After the Holocaust had ended, society wanted to reassure that something this tragic would never happen again. The term “Never Forget” was created to ensure that society would never do something like the Holocaust to happen again. The Holocaust had killed 13.5 million Jewish people due to Adolf Hitler believed Jewish people were not human. Humanity believes that something like the Holocaust won’t happen again, but after multiple shootings, bombings, and other actions people have done. These actions people have done proves that humanity has not learned from the Holocaust mistakes even though we think we have.

Another reason the holocaust should be researched is because it was part of the reason for several conflicts that occurred. A lot of thoughts go on that America let in several people and welcomed Jews that escaped but that’s not what happened. At first, America didn’t know a lot about what was going on but didn’t care much either until the citizens were complaining to

The Holocaust was one of the most tragic events that happened during World War II between 1939 until 1945. World War II involved the vast majority of the world’s countries, one of them being Germany, who played a big part in the Holocaust. Germany became involved because of Adolf Hitler, the chancellor, wanted revenge for the trouble Germany had in World War I. During World War II, Hitler exploited anti-semitic feelings towards Jewish people because he believed they were the reason Germany had to surrender in World War I. Those feelings were why the Holocaust happened. The Holocaust was the persecution of nearly 6 million Jewish people, also known as Jews. Not only were Jews being persecuted, but many other ethnic, secular, and religious groups also, such as “ Poles, Czechs, Greeks, Gypsies, Serbs, Ukrainians, and Russians, as well as homosexuals, mentally and physically handicapped persons, trade unionists, prisoners of war, Jehovah's Witnesses, and uncounted others” (U-S-History). All targeted because of their “racial inferiority”. The Holocaust was a devastating event that lasted several years and impacted many lives by tearing people from their homes, killing them, torturing them, forcing them into concentration camps, and by the end, affecting the Jewish population and the rest of the world, but if Hitler didn’t do what he did and the Holocaust didn’t happen, the world would be at a completelytotally different place.

The Holocaust was without a doubt the most diabolical attack on human dignity known to date. The horror that Hitler and The Nazis caused can never be forgotten. During the summer I visited The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, it was like a got an inside look into the heart-wrenching lives of the Jews.

The holocaust was a sad time to be a jew in Europe. Jews was sent to camps in Poland. Germans hated the jews because hitler made them think that they was the cause of them failing WW1. So they had to make it feel like they wasn’t at fault. Which cause the holocaust.

We continue to learn about the Holocaust it provides us with information for examining basic moral issues. The aim of this topic is to engage and inspire students to think critically and prevent us from making the same mistakes that were made in the past. We learn about the Holocaust to gain more knowledge on how people (Jews, Gypsies, and homosexuals) had survived that period, and if something related to that happens today then we are aware on how to overcome the situation. The Holocaust was organized by the Nazis, after World War 1 the Germans were defeated which led to the Jews being responsible for the loss of the war. After all, Hitler disliked the Jews because they had a large amount of the economy (wanted their merchandises and expert

The Holocaust was the systematic persecution and genocide that targeted the European Jews from 1933 to 1945. These actions were implemented by the Nazi’s and their new regime which resulted in the liquidation of six million innocent Jews and other small minorities. In 1929 Germany was suffering from the great depression. This was caused by the reparations they had to pay due to their defeat and damage they had caused in WW1. This social upheaval gave Hitler and his party the opportunity to brainwash and convince the people of Germany that he could ‘make Germany great again’ whilst spreading the message about his new ideal, the ‘Aryan race’. As people began to support his actions he gradually introduced the idea of the eradication of the Jews, which began to be known as ‘The Final Solution’.

Imagine one man and his army taking over your whole entire life. They’re trying to kill you and your whole race because of how you look and what you believe in. What would you do? Would you be able to survive? Ever since losing World War I, Germany has had economical problems.The Germans had to pay back seventy billion to the countries they vandalized. Therefore, to blame someone for their own mistake, the Germans blamed the Jewish people. Subsequently, on January 30th, 1933, Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazi parties, made a critical turning part of his plan to kill all Jews, and had started what is now known as the Holocaust. During the Holocaust, more than six million innocent people, including children, were murdered. They faced hardships because of how they looked, and what they believed in.

For centuries, the Jews were exposed to wicked treatment and even today, they continue to face a similar form of hatred. Unsurprisingly, but not widely acknowledged, Jewish people have been blacklisted and tormented even before the world-known genocide, the Holocaust. It seemed like every religious, political, or cultural perspective had something to hold against them as for years, they have constantly generated more and more reasons to hate them. This, however, leads many to question everything. Why were they so hated especially by a well-known killing-fanatic, Adolf Hitler. Prior the Holocaust, the Jews were blamed for multiple things that made everyone wary of them. For example, in the first century, the Jews were deemed responsible for the death of Jesus where they earned the anti-semitic slur the “Christ killers” and many have persecuted and executed them to avenge Him. Christians also had a problem with how they rejected the Christian message and taught followers about their sin in churches for centuries. Another religious problem arose in the 6th-7th century when they did not believe in Muhammad's prophethood, insulting his believers and followers. Years after that, the Jews have been documented to roam across the world, garnering a handful of negative canards that caused interminable Jewish suffering. They were seen as money-thirsty usurers who had no heart for those without it. History says, however, that the Christians excluded the Jews from many occupations, thus
