The Holocaust: The Legacy Of The Holocaust

As Nobel Laureate Elie Wiesel once said, “To forget a Holocaust is to kill twice,” that is why we are called to remember. Many movies, novels, and story representations of the Holocaust have been created in order to spread the memory of the past. An important part of remembering is learning, and therefore not repeating the same mistakes once again. Movies may find it difficult to represent the Holocaust accurately, while also giving it meaning and artistic expression. The writer, Edwin de Vries, and the director, Jeroen Krabbé, strive to represent the legacies of the Holocaust and Jewish culture in the film, Left Luggage (1998), based on a novel by Carl Friedman through a portrayal of the daily lives of Holocaust survivors and their children in late 1960s Antwerp, their direct confrontations with their memories of the Holocaust, and character development. The film shows us many examples of the legacy of the Holocaust as it is passed through the children of survivors, and how it continues to affect their daily lives. The audience understands the intentions through depictions of muteness and the necessity to remember.

(History of the Holocaust). Adolf Hitler was the leader of Germany when the Holocaust began (Rosenberg). Hitler made everyone fear him and what he was doing(Shepard). The Holocaust began by separating people by religion (Shepard). Anyone that was not up to their standards were put in these horrific camps (Shepard). A big problem to society were the Jews (History of the Holocaust). The living conditions of the places where everyone was kept were unsanitary and musky (History of the Holocaust). The way the housing was set up was men with men, and women with women and children (What was the Holocaust). The prisoners were fed little portions of food (History of the Holocaust). Many people died from hunger, disease, labor, and gas chambers (History of the Holocaust). 11 million people were killed, and 6 million of them were Jews (Rosenberg).

The Holocaust, one of humanities most horrendous acts and a large topic in the history of World War II. Led by the German National Socialists, the Holocaust was an attack on innocent people for reasons of race, sexuality, nationality, and religion with their main target being the millions of European Jews who they saw as an ‘inferior race’. Hitler and his higher up stripped Jews of everything. He took their money, their homes, their jobs, their nationality, their dignity, and eventually he took their lives. In Peter Longerich’s Holocaust: The Nazi Persecution and Murder of the Jews, Longerich takes an in depth look at Nazi politics and how it eventually led to their Final Solution of the Jewish Question. His research that began in the late 1990s, when he questioned both schools of Holocaust studies, the Intentionalists and the Structuralists. His studies in Europe led to a novel that that outlines the entire history of the Holocaust, the ideas of Judenfrage, and the implementation of Judenpolitik on the Jews of Europe from 1933 to 1945.

What did America do during the time period in which the Holocaust was happening? To start, the Holocaust was the genocide that killed six million Jews in Europe by Nazi Germany. America did not do much to help at this time. The US did things like making immigration laws way more difficult than it needed to be. They also turned away the St. Louis that boarded almost a thousand Jewish people and when given the chance to help, they chose not to. The United States during World War II did not consider saving the people being killed by Nazi Germany a prime concern.

There were many groups of people, other than the Jews, that were victims of persecution and murdered by the Nazis. The groups affected by the Holocaust were the Jews, Gypsies, Poles and other Slavs, political dissidents and dissenting clergy, people with physical or mental disabilities, Jehovah’s witnesses, and homosexuals. According to A Teacher’s Guide to the Holocaust, There is evidence as early as 1919 that Hitler had a strong hatred of Jews. As Chancellor and later Reichsfuhrer, Hitler translated these intense feelings into a series of policies and statutes which progressively eroded the rights of German Jews from 1933-1939 (“Victims”).

The Diary of Anne Frank is a remarkably moving book about the short life of a young girl and her family. The Holocaust was a horrible time for Jewish people and Anne and her Jewish family’s lives were completely turned upside down as a result. The war resulted in the deaths of countless people, mostly innocent people. Before the invasion on D-day and the end of the war not too long after, the rest of the world didn’t know the real disaster going on over seas. Anne Frank’s once secret diary has introduced the immense suffering and horror that occurred during the Holocaust.

After WW1 Germany had to pay reparations to the allies, During this time Hitler blamed the Jews for the hardship that came to Germany. The Holocaust started in 1993 Nazi Occupied Germany to 1945 Germany.

In technicality Hitler did not kill but he gave the order to his elite police the Waffen SS, The Waffen SS is the Nazi partys armed division.

There has been news that the Nazi party is falling. We have been hiding David for three years now. This is some of the best news we have had in a long time. When we had heard of what the Jewish Uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto, our hearts filled with joy knowing that something is finally being done in these prisons and prisoners are escaping.

The holocaust began in 1933. Adolf Hitler was a man who wanted great power and to do so he put others below him, making them a “lesser” kind of human than what he was. In 1933 approximately nine million Jews lived in the 21 countries of Europe that later on would be surrounded with SS soldiers. In this tragic event, many people were killed and used for experiments. Not just Jews, but also homosexuals, disabled people, people that were ill and Catholics.

This book, Nazi Hunter, is mainly about the struggle that 5 special people went through to find Adolf Eichmann, a bad man who relentlessly slaughtered millions of Jews, and bring him to trial. After the holocaust, Eichmann went into hiding because he knew he was being hunted. From there, he moved to Argentina, where he stayed a while. While there, he was discovered by a fifteen-year-old girl who happened to be dating his son. This spikes some interest in a case that had previously been forgotten. After doing a little spying around, the girl and her father, a blind Argentine, gather vital information, or so they thought, but turned out to be inconclusive. A while later, about a year and a half, a group of Israeli spies spot Eichmann. This sighting

The Holocaust was important to world history between the years of 1939-1945 because it was a tough time for jews and the whole world. Adolf Hitler was ordering all jews to get out of Germany or be executed in death camps also called concentration camps. Many Jews went into hiding to escape these tough times. In the play “The Diary Of Anne Frank” eight people that barely know each other go into hiding in an attic for two years to escape these tough times.

However, what is most concerning about the war, was what happened behind closed doors, specifically within Germany. The Holocaust is still considered one the worst ethnic cleansing attacks in the world. Although there is an endless amount of research and hard evidence of the Holocaust occurring, certain groups of individuals strongly reject it.

The Holocaust happened during World War II; it was the mass murder of hundreds of European Jews by the Nazis. There was group called the Nazis that tortured many of the Jews. The Nazis became very powerful over the Jews in 1933. The Jewish population was over nine million in 1933. Jews lived in countries that the Nazis controlled during World War II. The Germans killed almost two out of three European Jews due to the “Final Solution”. The National Socialist government established concentration camps to watch the Jews and later deport them out of the country. Between 1941 and 1944, the Germans deported millions of the Jews from Germany to killing centers also called “extermination camps”, where they were killed in the gassing chambers. Many survivors of the Holocaust wrote a book about how life during this time period was for them , and what type of experiences they had.The book Maus was wrote by Art Spiegelman to inform many readers of how life was for his father during the Holocaust. There were many issues in politics throughout this book.

He first argues that the Holocaust was an outrageous genocide of the Jewish people. He started each conversation off by asking the person if they knew who Adolf Hitler was. It is surprising to see how many people had no idea who he was. For those that did know, and saw him as a bad guy, he asked them if they would kill Adolf Hitler if they had a chance. Everyone unanimously agreed that they would, but when asked if they would kill his mother when she was
