The Holocaust: The Mysteries Of The Holocaust

Hitler had shown unwillingness to tolerate the Jews and once he was appointed Chancellor, he started to take elimination measures like deportation, forced emigration, and isolation to enforce his belief. He took advantage of Germany’s weakness in World War One, then used it as an opportunity to blame the Jews for Germany’s defeat. Hitler’s political party was the largest political party in Germany thus allowing them to draw very large crowds to gatherings. He had very good oratory speeches with hand gestures that easily manipulated people to adhere to his views. Hitler constantly targeted the Jews because he knew people believed in these speeches. People in Germany were already anti-semitic but Hitler made it worse by constantly consuming them in his speeches. From the way he spoke about the Jews, we could clearly see the possibility of genocide. Hitler wanted Germany to be free of any humans that anyone other than his ideal master race so he personally selected bodyguards to be part of a group called the SS. Hitler was responsible for ordering the SS to carry out the extermination of anyone who did not fit this ideal. The SS handled oppositions using force and as a result of which people were forced to give into the idea of violence. Sometimes people purposely went along with this Holocaust ideal due to the fear of getting killed. These terrors allowed the holocaust occur

When many think of the Holocaust as a solely negative experience, and while it may seem easy to write the event off as a dark time in history that seems remote and unlikely to affect us today, there are some positive results, including the lessons that it brings for current and future humanity. The lessons that the Holocaust brings are applicable to every person in the world. While many of these lessons do focus on the negative aspects of the Holocaust, like what circumstances permit such a vast genocide and how many people can die because of widespread racial hatred, there are also those that focus on how some people, in all parts of Europe and throughout the world, retained their good human nature during the Holocaust. For example, what made some gentiles in Europe during that time willing and able to help Jews. Currently, Yad Vashem has recognized 26,513 rescuers throughout the world (Names), and the actual number of rescuers could likely be close to twice that amount (Baron,1). It is important that we analyze the reasons behind these rescuers’ choices to be upstanders instead of bystanders because we can learn about our own motivations when we face decisions between helping others and protecting ourselves, and possibly those we love, from harm. Fulfilling one’s self-interest was a potential motivation for helping Jews that will only be briefly addressed. This type of rescue potentially benefitted both the Jews and the Gentile rescuers; these Gentiles only helped Jews survive because they found personal gain, likely social or economic, in the action (Baron). However, in the situation that existed while rescuing the Jews, most efforts included the high possibility that both the rescuer and the rescued would end up worse off than they had begun with no potential for personal gain on either side. So those rescuers’ motivations are less easily explainable.

Another main cause of the Holocaust was Germany losing WWI. After WW1, Germany suffered terribly when they were defeated by the allied forces. Their economy suffered badly because the unemployed rate went up, and that money was losing its value. Since the Germans were in such a bad spot in their country, Hitler wanted to bring back power to Germany someway. The third and final cause of the Holocaust was racism and scapegoating on the jews. Before the economic depression and all of the problems Germany had after losing WWI, they still were racist towards the Jews. But after the loss of WWI, Germany had made an excuse to kill the jews. According to Also, you can call this scapegoating which is blaming someone else for your problems.

It’s about the jews and how and what happened to them after the Holocaust. The Holocaust was the time where about six million jews and one million other people dying. Most people were killed because they belonged to different races and religions. The Nazis wanted to kill people that weren’t from their same religious group. The Nazis also killed people who disrespected Hitler. Hitler was the leader of the Nazi party.

From 1933-1945, it was a period of time when the Jews were targeted as an enemy. This period of time is called the “Holocaust.” This is when the Germans killed over 6 million Jews and it was a genocide. They also killed any Jew that they could recognize. The Germans during this time were called Nazis. Nazis were the people that controlled the concentration camps and liberated people. Concentration camps were the places where the Nazis took the Jews to be killed. In the concentration camps there were gas chambers. They were the places where they took the children and their moms for a “shower”. They thought it was a shower, but it was actually a place where they would end their lives. When all the jews went in the Nazis threw a chemical that burnt everything. The people who did that were the Holocaust war criminals. They were the Nazis that killed 1,000s of jews and didn’t care. The most dangerous war criminals were Alois Brunner,Beate Kunzel Klarsfeld, John Demjanjuk, Hans Lipschis, Hans Frank, Alfred Rosenberg, and Gerhard Sommer.

The Holocaust was a terrifying time, it brought to light how important it was to fight for each other. Men and women either sat and stayed quiet out of fear or they got up and fought for what they believed in no matter the cost. These brave souls risked their lives and the lives of their families to save those prosecuted by the Nazis. They weren’t afraid to stand up to the Nazis. Some hid Jews in their homes, other snuck into ghettos and other places to help people in need. Some even falsified documents in order to help Jews escape. Individuals like these stand out in history for showing that standing up to oppressors can be done, and that it is the right thing to do as a part of the human race.

Holocaust began in 1933 when Adolf Hitler came to power in Germany and ended in 1945 when the Nazis were defeated by the Allied powers. The term Holocaust is derived from the Greek word holokauston, which means sacrifice by fire. It refers to the Nazi persecution and planned slaughter of the Jewish people and others considered inferior to "true" Germans.

First of all, the Holocaust made the European Jews to migrate from the European regions. This movement changed the demographics and political conditions of the other neighboring regions and countries where these people started going to. This made the entire world somehow related and affected by this genocide named as the Holocaust. The world had to settle in the Jews which involved the political, economic and social changes. It affected not only the budget of the countries but also the ethnic and racial composition of the world societies. The brutal mass murder, therefore, had the impacts and effects on the

The Holocaust, 9/11, wars and assassinations are common events that come to mind when thinking about history. These events tend to make people think that mankind is evil and will always choose to be evil. However, when looking at the people behind the evil doings, are they really killing for a selfish reason? Mankind will always do good for their nation, no matter the cost. While most powerful leaders end up hurting many people, they either have good intentions behind the mask of people suffering or people come together to stop the leader. When Hitler ended up killing many Jews, countries came together as a nation to save the Jews from the camps. Good will overrule the horrible events in Earth’s past, present and future. Pearl Harbor, 9/11, and ISIS all have one thing in common, nationalism.

Hitler and the holocaust had things in common, but there were many factors that divided the two. Hitler wasn't the main reason of the Holocaust. The Holocaust started years before Hitler had taken charge in Germany. Hitler made bad decisions that made factors towards the problem. Hitler was a completely bad person to the one’s who witnessed his terrifying rule over them, especially the Jews. Hitler had one big prompt towards the Holocaust. One be that of the final solution, Making the Holocaust a living nightmare for all that had to endure his terror. From the other states there was light help for the Jews, and even few were able to escape his living nightmare of a world. Yet the few that were able to leave, left friends, family friends, and even their own family members behind that were unable to be passed, and were restricted from going. Only for the one’s whom left to never see them again, Either being that the person died, was able to escape to elsewhere, or just the simple fact that they were just never found. Most bodies during the Holocaust was burned, especially when they were sent to concentration camps and left for

Since the terrorist attack on Paris, to the natural disasters in Haiti; there have been a variety of tragic events that have occurred throughout history across the world. Perhaps one main tragedy that leaves people feeling baffled is the Holocaust. Eric Lichtblau described the Holocaust in his article, The Holocaust Just Got More Shocking, as a genocide in which Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany and its associates killed approximately six million Jewish people because the Nazis believed that exterminating the Jewish people was justified. They believed this for the reason that Jewish people were not only a “low” and “evil” race, but were affecting the lives of the Germans negatively and blamed them for all the social and economic problems in Germany (Lichtblau). The puzzling part is what would make an authoritative figure, such as Adolf Hitler; do such an atrocious thing to a group of people? Social psychologist Stanley Milgram’s experiment on obedience to authority in 1963 analyzed what makes people obedient to an authority. Milgram’s experiment found that factors such as the authority figure, the use of deception and the agentic state of the person can further explain why people obeyed Hitler to the point that induced the Holocaust.

Perhaps one main tragedy that leaves people feeling baffled is the Holocaust. Eric Lichtblau described the Holocaust in his article, The Holocaust Just Got More Shocking, as a genocide in which Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany and its associates killed around six million Jewish people because the Nazis believed that exterminating the Jewish people was justified. They believed this for the reason that Jewish people were not only a “low” and “evil” race, but were affecting the lives of the Germans negatively and blamed them for all the social and economic problems in Germany (Lichtblau).

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. We had told David of what was happening when we fed him dinner, and was the happiest he had been in forever.

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.

Tragic events strike the world in many different forms; from simple shootings to ethnic genocides. Although theses acts of hatred sound widespread and diverse in the cause; it is the indifference and ruthlessness that an individual portrays. This sort of behavior accommodates society and encourages people to accept and follow its routine and principles, such as the events that took place during the Holocaust. During the time period of 1933 to 1945, Adolf Hitler, an Austrian World War I veteran, decided to partake in twisted behavior. Hitler believed that in order to do his nation justice, the nation needed an ethnic cleansing. This ethnic cleansing involved choosing to degrade and torture the lives of millions of people and most of these people were Jews. However, not only did he kill and demean a certain group of people, he also encouraged others to follow behind him in his hatred. During the Holocaust people treated the Jews as if they were inferior human beings, or rather, animals as they were thrown in concentration camps under strict supervision and ripped from the arms of their loved ones (History). This horrific event, still today, does not seem to elude the memories and the thoughts of many Jews or those of anyone else whom were affected by this event. The events of the Holocaust changed the modern world’s perspective on human rights by demonstrating how cruel, remorseless, and apathetic humans can be.
