It’s hard to think that any Holocaust victim wasn’t treated like and turned into a brute when the average weight of an adult survivor was only 60 pounds. Elie Wiesel seems to agree. In his book Night he vividly describes the process of sucking every last bit of life out of a man until he is unable to work. To turn people starving, freezing, sick, hopeless, and exhausted is definitely a way to turn them into animal like beings. Even the strongest of peoples can collapse if pushed hard enough. Yet
The Jews were starved to death, shot down for the most pointless reasons, were put through all different kinds of torture. Those who survived were forced to work in labor camps, all because Adolf Hitler had a bone to pick with Jews. Adolf Hitler was a dictator who had 850,000 Nazis under his hand. He despised Jews, and used his forces to take Jews hostage and force them to work in concentration camps. Ironically enough, it is believed that Hitler may have had Jewish ancestry.

This is because of the approximate 11 million people killed during The Holocaust; roughly 6 million of them were Jews.

The main reason was because the Nazi Party took the idea of nationalism to an extreme, new level. Hitler also thought the Jews were
Hitler hated the Jews, we see this in World War II with the Holocaust. The Holocaust started in 1933 when Hitler rose to power; he made a plan in 1941 which was to eradicate the whole Jewish population. Hitler called this plan the “Final Solution” (An Introductory History of The Holocaust). Why did Hitler and the Nazis single out the Jews for genocide? And in what ways did the Nazis single them out? Well first off, Hitler and the Nazis weren’t the first people to treat the Jews poorly; they were
to the population of Missouri. This event is known as the Holocaust. During this genocide, the Nazi party in Germany tried to eliminate the whole jewish population. In the process of doing so they killed some six million innocent people. The Nazi Party nearly wiped out the entire Jewish population, leaving very few to carry on with religion and personal accounts of living through the Holocaust. For generations the facts about the Holocaust have been taught so that nothing like this terrible event
The Holocaust was the time when Hitler ordered the killing of innocent people in Europe. Thousands of Jews were killed just because they didn’t belong and no one wanted them in their homeland. They were tortured physically and mentally, and their lives were ruined. So why do people deny that the Holocaust even happened? Some people don’t know about the Holocaust, but some people today say that the Holocaust is a lie. People also say the number of Jews killed was exaggerated and the Holocaust is
type to make everything better, which everybody was looking for at the time, but within a couple months that all went downhill. As the days got longer the Jews felt more and more APPREHENSIVE knowing something was going to happen but couldn't do anything about it.Hitler was the type of person who caused pain for pleasure. During the Holocaust many countries enforced laws towards emigrating citizens out of Germany, like the Johnson Immigration Act which limited many people to staying; the United States
Why is the Holocaust denied to this day despite the evidence? The Holocaust was the largest genocide of the twentieth century and is one of the most well-documented events in history. But even with all the evidence, the holocaust is still denied to this day. People who deny the Holocaust ignore the evidence and believe the Holocaust was a myth.

Religion Fights Back Introduction Before the Holocaust, Jewish people had ordinary lives. Children went to school, parents went to work or owned their own business. They carried on spiritual traditions and strived for their own goals. During the Holocaust though, Jews lost the meaning of life (Michalczyk 177). They were considered useless and a burden to the Germans. This was continuously beat into their minds not only mentally but also physically (Michalczyk 177). Some were able to beat these
