The Holocaust : Sociological Behaviors And Characters Of The Holocaust

There are many social forces that affect any society. However, there may be more prominent social forces in a society, or country that has experienced a traumatic event that effected their entire country or society. Germany is a major example of a country that went through an incredibly traumatic event. The Holocaust is the traumatic event that hit Germany beginning in the 1930’s. The Holocaust was a period in time from 1933 to 1945, in which Jews experienced discrimination. Out of nine million Jews that were living in Germany, over half of them were killed in the Holocaust. All the Jews that were killed were killed because of prejudice and discrimination against them. An event as traumatic and massive as the Holocaust has no choice but to affect the country of Germany.

One important quote from the story was when Elie Wiesel and his father go to the concentration camp. “Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, which has turned my life into a long night. Never shall I forget those flames witch consumed my faith forever” (25). This quote shows how life in the concentration camps were horrible. It shows how the nazizs were brain washing the Jewish people giving them no power or hope. Also having them weak no faith of coming out. In conclusion, This is important because people need to help the people that suffered and how the nazizs were torturing them because hitler blames them Jews. He

Throughout the film, Oskar Schindler 's morals changed as the film progressed, he transformed into caring person from an acquisitive person. Schindler is a flawed person. In the beginning of the film, Schindler 's sole purpose was to make a profit of the war by hiring Jewish people and using the Jewish people 's wealth to create the company. However, as Schindler 's relationship with Itzhak Stern progressed and witnessing the violence towards the Jews, he started to reconsider his actions. For example, when a young female pleaded for him to take in her parents in order to protect her family from being executed, Schindler was outraged believing that his reputation would be destroyed. However, following a discussion with Stern about the situation he changed his mind and aided the woman. A conversion in Schindler 's behavior is when he saw the child with the red coat being cremated, thus this caused him to confront the horrors of the holocaust and try to help the Jewish people. Therefore, Schindler confronted the turmoil by purchasing his workers and sending them to Czechoslovakia in order to protect them from the war. As the film ended, Schindler completely changed as a person, by selling damaged goods and going into debt to protect the Jews.

In 1942, Oskar Schindler saw Jews in a ghetto riot getting packed into the cars("Oskar Schindler.” The). He felt something at that moment and it really awakened him that he really needs to save Jews. As the Holocaust got worse his protection of his workers became very important. Schindler helped a lot through bribes and personal friendships with the government to help the Jews not get threatened everyday and to make sure that the SS doesn’t report them. His business helped him “draw” on Jews that were under the power of the Gestapo. Schindler kept his promises to his “Schindlerjuden” and treated them like his own children. He didn’t even care about money any more. He only cared about his workers. He was ok with losing all of his money and putting his life at risk everyday. ("Oskar Schindler." Jewish)

The Jews were forced to work in the Concentration camp under fear that they would get shot by the Nazis’s. There were some Jews who were shot by the Nazis out of pure hatred and amusement. This changes Oskar Schindler because he shows his love for the Jews not only by employing them into his factory but also loving them as his own family. One example was when at the party for the Nazi’s where he kissed the Jewish woman and his daughter. Even though he got arrested and got his way out, he treats the Jews as his own family. We would not expect him to treat these Jews with respect, but he managed to save these Jews. This shows how he changes from a careless man to a hero by treating people with

Oskar Schindler's factory is closed and his jewish workers are taken back to Plazow. Oskar schindler is now fully aware of what he has done for the jewish people, and the "safe haven" he has created for them even though he doesn't like to say it. He decided to move his factory to Brenneck, it was considered and ammunition and enamelware factory now. Schindler gets Itzhak Stern, whom he still protects, to create a list of jews to which he will keep in his factory to work for him. This is the "list" in which the novel get its name. The jews put on that list that day were saved in a way, schindler had a new motive for his factory, it was no longer for business, it was a "rescue mission" However the women on the list get transferred to Auschwitz by accident and we then see Oskars character develop as he fights for them back but still remembers to protect his role as a german. In January Amoth Goeth's camp, Plaszow, is closed down and all the remaining jews are sent to Auschwitz. Schindlers factory is still running, however the factory is almost bankrupt as therein not live ammunition being produced, it is all faulty. A couple months lather WWII ends and the holocaust

Schindler's list is about the Holocaust. Speilberg wanted to educate the world about what had happened in the past events and to also silence; those who deny that it ever happened. Moreover, Spielberg films the movie in the early 1900s when genocide against Serbs, Bosnian, Muslims and ethnic Albanians was taking place in Yugoslavia. The fact that another genocide could happen in the present day pushes Spielberg to give a comprehension of the situation. This event which featured in the film affected the group Jews. Hitler's plan to eliminate the group and to get rid of them succeeded as it was too late for thousands. Oscar Schindler, the protagonist, and the eventual savior sacrifice his life to save his Jewish factory workers; without him,

There is a lot of history throughout the entire film, from viewers seeing Auschwitz, the biggest concentration camp, and what life was like there, to Oscar Schindler who was a real man, who really did save many people’s lives. In the end Oscar is overwhelmed by emotions when the Jews he saved made him a gold ring, he realizes he could of saved more, Oscar cries, “This pin. Two people. This is

His right hand man, Itzsak Stern (a Jew) works as accountant for Schindler. Stern realizes that Jews who work cannot be killed, so in an attempt to save as many people as possible he starts employing unnecessary workers. Schindler soon becomes aware of what’s happening and is angry as his factory is considered a ‘safe haven’.

At first, Schindler does not care about his Jewish laborers, as long as he can get them at a cheap price and he earns money. As the movie goes on, he starts to care and tries to save every single one of his laborers even if he has to spend all his money to achieve it. During the holocaust, the Nazi’s discrimination on Jews was to the extent that they wanted to kill all of the Jews! You might think Schindler has a cold heart at the beginning, but Nazi’s brutality is going to take away his dark side and bring up his humanity. When Nazis started to massacre Jewish people and send them to the gas chamber, Schindler spends all his money to buy Jewish laborers from the Nazis and creates a list of over 1,100 Jews to be his workers. He saved all the Jews on that list, which they called Schindler’s list. At the end, Germany loses the war and the Jewish people are finally free. Ironically, Jewish people see Schindler as a hero, even though he became a criminal for illegally using Jews as

The film “Schindler’s list” is directed by Spielberg where multiple moral or ethical issues in the film are being explored, based on the primary sources during the Hitler’s insurrection or Nazi Germany which was the world war two. After the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany, thousands of Jewish people were forced to live in Ghetto as their houses and businesses were robbed. The film takes its main title from the main character “Oskar Schindler” and a list of Jewish people that he saved from certain deaths during the holocaust. The holocaust which is one of the most horrifying and shameful periods in the history of humankind that is being denied today. The main theme of the film was the holocaust, deportation of Jews, specifically

Switzerland, a small country in the middle of Europe, remained neutral and prospered during the war due to their Swiss bankers of Europe. Switzerland was heard to be a place of refuge for the Jewish people and people affected by he Holocaust, but Switzerland was strict about who they would accept in their country. Switzerland would only accept some women, children under the age of six, some Nazi deserters, and very few more. Then come to find out, Switzerland would complain and turn people away due to the 7,000 extra mouths they had to feed every day as if that number was worse than the millions of Jews being killed as Hitler’s victims. Even though Switzerland was seen as neutral, they turned away 24,00 Jews and it is learned that the “Swiss officials helped the Nazi regime achieve its goals, whether intentional or not.” Even by turning their backs and tearing families and friends apart, they play a role in the dehumanization and degradation of the Jewish people. In the film, the director Markus Imhoof does a good job at following the “family’s” ever-changing struggle and journey to keep from getting deported back to Germany. Imhoof lets the story unfold before the viewer’s eyes in an inconsistent way instead of telling a direct story. Imhoof keeps the suspense going throughout the entire movie. The viewer sees compassion, love, culture, spirit, physical, and psychological being destroyed by the

There are also many plot twists and symbolisms that make this movie so great and a must watch because of how it presented the topic of the Holocaust. Promoting the Life and Dignity of a human person is the most fundamental theme of Catholic Social teaching. The disrespect of this Catholic Social Theme can be spon from the hatred, selfishness, and fear from other people. This hatred leads to many forms of racism, sexism, ageism and bullying, to name a few. As Christians and Catholics it is our duty to call for and give respect to the dignity of ourselves and other people as humans in the image and

The beginning of the movie starts with a set of hands lighting Jewish Sabbath candles, with a someone saying Hebrew prayer in the background. After the candles blow out the movie turns black and white and your are taken to a place where a steam engine has just pulled up.
