The Holocaust: The Syrian Refugee Crisis

One can found a good bit of similarities and differences within the Holocaust and the genocide going on it Syria. Such as ethnic groups being targeted, Usa refusing to allow refugees, and the tacked they used to kill the people the were targeting.

Terrorist, sleeper cells and undeserving; these are all adjectives that Americans have used to describe Syrian refugees. This type of bigotry is an issue that must be addressed. In light of the recent attack on Paris, there has been a dramatic shift to block President Obama’s plan to bring 10,000 additional refugees into the United States. Imagine that, a nation of immigrants blocking other immigrants from entering. In order to gain this kind of overwhelming support for such a bill, propagandists have used countless personal attacks on an entire race and claim that it is in the name of national security. Rather than lock down the borders, the United States should take California’s model for vetting refugees and make it the federal

The Holocaust was a tragic event that occurred during World War II. This was when Hitler took power over Germany. Those who Hitler saw as inferior, or those whom he sought not perfect, were used as Germany’s slaves. He made them work very hard, and gave them very little. These people barely got food. They were all to die after they were found to have no use. Many people were taken away from their family. Many people didn’t have any living family after the Holocaust. They were labeled displaced when they weren’t found by family members. These people came in massive populations that were dealt with by organizations like the UNRRA. Palestine was used as an escape route for Jews. The UNRRA helped these millions of Jews either

In the article, “America and the Memory of the Holocaust, 1950-1965”, Deborah E. Lipstadt writes about, throughout the entirety of her article, of the emergence of the Holocaust on the American agenda for both the non-jewish people and the jewish people during the following years of the second world war. Throughout the 1950’s, and after the end of the second world war in 1939, the topic of the Holocaust was barely on the jewish communal or theological agenda, In contrast to today, where the topic of the Holocaust is often talked about by non-jewish or any kinds of people. As well as during in the 1950’s and 1960’s, there was a very few number of commemorations for the event of the Holocaust in the United States of America; these commemorations

America received numbers of reports stating claims of Jews being murdered in concentration camps all across Europe, but swept them under the rug. American’s like Breckinridge Long, the head of the State Department, strongly opposed letting more Jewish immigrants into America. Through his exaggerated testimonies of how many Jews were actually being let into the country, laws were passed that drastically affected the ones still living in Europe. Visas were postponed leaving many Jews stranded, crushing their last resort for hope; America. Numerous Americans saw the destruction our immigration laws were causing and tried to show that we needed to help the Jews. Henry Morganthal started a Jewish pageant that toured five major cities in order to raise awareness of the Jews horrid fate. Finally, in 1944 after over 4 years of staying silent, President Roosevelt passed the War Refuge Board. This was a plan to rescue all of the Jews being held captive. Although this plan of action saved over 200,000 Jews, it was activated a little to late compared to the six million lost over the years before. We, who could have been the hero, sat back and watched as innocent victims of violence and evil were over powered. America knew of the severity of the situation but still chose to ignore it. Because of this, millions suffered and although we could not see it, it was very much real. It is lived out

At the Bronx High School of Science’s Holocaust Museum, there were many important pieces of evidence that revealed the horrors of the Holocaust. The artifact that struck me the most is a poster that shows a Nazi enemy stabbing the center of a Holy Bible with a dagger, and the words “This is the Enemy” printed underneath. This poster was designed by Barbara Marks in 1942 in Washington DC. The purpose of this artifact was to portray Nazi opposition to many religions in America. The image of propaganda depicts the Nazis as monstrous people who despised other religions, especially Judaism, and did whatever they could to eliminate the Jewish population. This artifact stood out to me because it helped me understand the main reason for the Holocaust.

On September of 2015, the image of 3-year-old Aylan Kurdi went viral. “The toddler’s lifeless body on a Turkish beach had reverberated across the globe” (Parkinson & George-Cosh, 2015). Aylan’s family had “fled the brutal civil war in their native Syria and only attempted the boat crossing after Canada denied their application of admission as refugees. The image led to an astonishing outpouring of support for Syrian refugees” (Hein & Niazi, 2016).

The forgotten jews The holocaust should never be forgotten because millions of Jews were killed also the Jews had few rights and were treated as slaves and weren't able to do things they were told, babies were abused and killed by the guard and were shot. The holocaust should never be forgotten because millions of Jews were killed the guards there in the camps the were forced to move the prisoners by train also known as cattle carts they would have to all squeeze in only half of the jews would make it because it was very cold and die of starvation. The jews were allowed to sit but the men were not if they sat down they would get beaten up by the other men.

1st, the Jews and the Syrian refugees were trying to escape danger. The Jewish people wanted to escape from the Holocaust. The Syrian refugees had to abandon their homes because of the war. The Syrian people and Jews weren't threats to the U.S.

If we take a minute to look back on history, we see a terrifying event that took place during WWll. This event practically broke our society to pieces, scarred many hearts, and devastatingly took many lives. This event caused many people to be targeted, tortured, and killed. Miserably, this event still hurts many people today. This tragedy is known as the Holocaust.

The Holocaust is one of (If not the worst) the worst times in our world’s history. Regrettably, The Holocaust can relate to many problems in our society today. Multifarious conflicts today are started by the same thing: Race.

People such as bystanders stood by all around the world and watched as the innocent were killed.

The holocaust is regarded as the single most horrific thing mankind has done in recent years however America allowed German American

The Holocaust was one of the twentieth century's greatest tragedies that were made possible by anti-Semitism, the indifference of other nations, isolationism politics, and outright fear.

I personally have never heard someone say that Jews should just get over Holocaust, but that notion has been applied to Native Americans and African Americans. I think if the Holocaust happened in America it would be taught differently. America like every country wants to tone down the dark parts of their history and highlight the dark parts of other countries past. I think that this comes down to perception and only wanting one voice to be heard in history. An example of this is shown in the poem Springfield, Missouri Trail of Tears?
