The Holocaust And Its Effects On The World 's History

“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.” (Uschman 94)That quote is from a nazi war camp survivor, his words echo the attitude of the era, the same attitude that allowed something as awful as the Holocaust to occur with little resistance. However, even after hitler's final solution was thwarted people still suffered. People were left poor,scared, and traumatized. It left governments scrambling to recover control and strength. The stories you don't get to see. Even today the Holocaust still impacts us in one way or another.

The tragic events that occurred during world war two and the holocaust were not only horrific but also morally wrong. The Jewish culture was targeted for mass genocide, by the hand of a mad-man bent on world domination, and the only way to prevent another incident like this from happening again, is to thoroughly educate the public. The actions and events that Hitler and his followers proposed not only helped the world realize the extent of his destruction but also how horrible it would be if the events were to happen again. The aftermath of the war and holocaust left half of Europe in ruins, and more than six million Jews, Homosexuals, Gypsies, and Africans dead, not including

The Holocaust is a topic that some think of as a very essential part of history that students should learn about. On the other hand, some would argue that it is too severe for middle school students. Without a doubt, Nazis abused their large power and used it towards destruction and in so, violated civil rights and killed 6 million Jews. The Holocaust was a turning point in history that is only taught based on the judgement of schools. The Holocaust Museum in Houston says, “During the Holocaust religious, moral, and legal systems failed in deterring the dangers of prejudice.” This can compare to how there is a large debate on whether students should or shouldn’t learn about the Holocaust and topics similar to it. The Holocaust was a major part of history that has influenced many people and advanced the future to where we are now; thus, we should educate the the younger generation since teaching about the Holocaust enables you to advance into a better human being, students can use their critical thinking skills, and it honors those who have passed and survived.

I chose this topic because it is the most interesting topic I have ever learned in school. Some people do not know the whole story of the Holocaust, they only know of bits and pieces. Most people know that Hitler rose to command and had a strong dislike of specific groups of people, which consequently began the Holocaust. The Holocaust changed the whole world’s perspective. Our fellow human were tortured, starved, and burned alive for being different from society. I wrote this essay to show that there is always another side to a story. Now I give you “The Holocaust Revealed”.

There are many important dates throughout the history of the Holocaust, spanning the time line of January 30,1933 through May 8,1945.This report covers some of the tragic events, from the beginning

There are so many remarkable people who have gone before us and shaped the world into what it is today. With the passing of yet another Veterans Day, people were reminded of the extraordinary sacrifices made by ordinary men and women who were unfortunate enough to have lived during times when their nations were at war. Many ordinary citizens lost their lives as a result of the war, just as soldiers did. While some survivors simply lived out their post war lives, others survived and influenced the world. One person who survived the atrocities of the Holocaust during World War II and used his experiences to improve social, political, and religious conditions throughout the world, is Elie Wiesel. Through the words of Elie Wiesel, the public can witness the evils of war, keep these memories alive in the collective recall of future generations, and take action upon witnessing injustices of its kind.

As we grow up our parents teach us how to be respectful and very well-mannered. They enforce the importance of saying, “Please, thank you, and excuse me,” when needed. Parents also insist we listen and respect our elders, because they have authority over the world since they have been here the longest. We were raised to comply with the demand of someone who had authority over us. According to Patricia Werhane (1), “In the early1960’s Stanley Milgram undertook his noteworthy study of human obedience to authority. Puzzled by the question of how otherwise decent people could knowingly contribute to the massive genocide of the Holocaust during World War II, Milgram designed an experiment that sought to cause a conflict between one’s willingness to obey authority and one’s personal conscience.”

The Holocaust was the systematic, organized, frighten, vicious event that sponsored by Nazi Party throughout the Europe continent that approximately took away six million Jews’ life with assisted from Nazi Germany and its collaborators, the event also caused different extent of casualties to contemporary third party countries in the Europe simultaneously. The official beginning date of event started from January 1933 when Adolf Hitler first came to power in Germany with Nazi as his backup to openly addressed the conspiracy of Jews within Germany boundary by classified all the Jews as inferior that should be fully eliminate due to the Adolf Hitler circulated the misconception of Jews’ existence had created threaten to the central power of government within the German domestic which carried out the massive killing events later on in entire Europe continent from 1933 to 1946.

During World War II and the Holocaust, many people wondered why Jewish people did not fight back against the Nazi’s. But what many people do not know is that about 30,000 Jewish people resisted and fought back against the Nazi command (Resistance). The Holocaust started in 1939 and ended in 1945. The Jews were forced into ghettos and were ostracized from the world by a wall or barbed wire fence. There were also concentration or death camps where after the war ended, almost no Jews survived. During the Holocaust, the Jewish people engaged in both armed and unarmed resistance in order to preserve their faith, morale, and humanity.

One common assumption that people make about the Holocaust is that the atrocity was an event unique to world history. It is not often taught in United States history classes that there were events previous to World War II that set precedence that allowed the Holocaust to occur under Nazi Germany rule. Generally, history classes do not explore colonialism outside of the United States, so it is no surprise that very few people are aware of German colonialism in Africa, let alone how Germany’s actions there served as a precursor to the Nazi policy of genocide years later. By examining the events that took place under German rule in South West Africa, one can gain a better understanding of the mentality behind the Nazi Germany genocide policy, as discussed in Isabel Hull’s article Military Culture and the Production of “Final Solutions” in the Colonies: The Example of Wilhelminian Germany.

Disheartening is not even a word tragic even to describe the Holocaust. The Holocaust affected the lives of millions because of the hate inside of the Nazi’s. Why would the Nazi’s do this? This is a question almost nobody can answer. What we do know are the effects of the Holocaust; specifically, on the child survivors of the Holocaust. The Holocaust created a struggle with interpersonal relationships, psychological difficulties, and caused child survivors and their families have a drive for resilience. Most people could say the Holocaust bring feelings of empathy for the casualty who went this tragic event, and feel anger toward the extremist.

From 1933 to 1945 over 11 million people were slaughtered over the course of those 12 years. This event in history is known as the Holocaust. The people who lost their lives were Jews, Gypsies, Political prisoners, Roma, Jehovah Witnesses, homosexuals, and anyone who opposed the Nazi rule. The prisoners were sent to concentration camps where they were tortured, forced to work, starved, placed in gas chambers for mass extermination, and experimented on by Nazi doctors as if they were not human. The Holocaust was put in place by Adolf Hitler, Chancellor of Germany at the time. Hitler wanted the people slaughtered in order to form a master race, known as the Aryans. His master race plan was only a side goal, his first objective was to

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

Following the Second World War and the gradual acceptance of the Holocaust, the historiographical field devoted decades to the analysis of the causes, motives, perpetrators, and consequences of the worst genocide the world had seen. While thousands of scholarly articles and books have been published on the matter, Snyder veered from the Holocaust trend and focused on a particular geographical area, one he would come to call the “bloodlands”, after the fourteen million civilians who were “victims of murderous policy”. His book captures the horrors of systematic and targeted killings, ranging from mass shootings to induced starvation, through the lens of state policies and children’s naïve hopes for survival. The decision to move away from Auschwitz and other Nazi death camps and focus instead on the impact the Soviet Union and Third Reich had on the lives of men, women and children in the occupied zones of Eastern Europe sheds light on a region and a time that had unfortunately been largely reduced to a few notable locations. Snyder’s methodological research and vivid anecdotal injections allow for a striking comparison between Hitler’s Nazi regime and Stalin’s “political” action in the bloodlands, but ultimately the distinguishing feature between the two campaigns of atrocity was the relationship between ideology and practical circumstance.

Throughout the endless history, there were lots of important and influential event. For example the Dark Age, Enlightenment, Civil War, World War I and II and the Cold War. Over all of these event, there was one event that deeply influence the world and the Jews today, it was the Holocaust. Holocaust, a term that people use to describe the horrible event that happened during World War II which kill millions of innocent citizens. The Holocaust started at January 13, 1933, when Hitler became the leader of Germany. It continued until the V - E Day, which happened on May 8, 1945. 6 million Jews, and 5 million non-Jews were killed during the Holocaust. The causes and effect of the Holocaust was Hitler’s racism, poor economic conditions, and the death of 6 million Jews which led to the creation of the nation of Israel.
