The People Of India, By Dr. D ' Souza

In this book, the author describes the long process it takes to create a national museum that will commemorate the Holocaust. He covers issues such as, the location of it, the design and construction aspects of the museum building. He informs readers about how they’ve tried to represent the Holocaust through the museum with sensitivity. I will use specific facts from this book to show that this museum was built with the help of many and required a lot of thought into it. I will show that this museum does in fact show sensitivity to an individual.

The Holocaust in the eyes of historians all across the country reiterate the importance of the Holocaust. As the first mass genocide so major in a group of people, it’s relevance continues to make a stand. Taking place in 1933 all the way until 1945, the Holocaust changed so much in so little time. Amass, 5-6 million jewish people dying from either being worked to death for taken to gas chambers and killed quietly. Though nothing about the Holocaust was quiet, as it’s name and hitler's wishes were spread across germany in its time of need. An event short enough to be considered just a blip, tacts itself up as one the largest genocides in history. It begs the question among educators and parents alike, whether schools should be teaching the Holocaust. But, the Holocaust is something that cannot be left untaught. The Holocaust should be vocalized to students because they have a right to an education and because it boosts their understanding of society and forms them into better civilians. Also because the side effects of bias in classrooms

The news of terror in Germany immediately made its way to Eleanor Roosevelt, who presented a document seeking that human rights to be enjoyed by all people. In Articles 3 and 5 the document states that “everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of person…” and that “no one shall be subjected to torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment” (Document 6). These are statements to ensure that everyone had the freedoms a human deserves. These orders clearly weren’t upheld during the Holocaust, and that is exactly why peacemakers vowed to fix these problems and never let history repeat itself. The desire for peace was presented in numerous ways, and one way is through art. A memorial at Dachau, a former concentration camp where Jews were killed during the Holocaust, illustrates the cry for help the world set out (Document 7). In the languages Hebrew, French, English, German and Russian, the monument says the words “Never Again.” These two words spelled out in five different languages is demonstrating the fact that universally, we should never see anything more terrifying as the Holocaust, never

When I first visited the virtual Holocaust Museum website and researched the bodies of the site it represented discrimination and bigotry. The action taken upon the innocent the dominant leader Adolf Hitler and the members of his group carried out Jews. The website classified the term Genocide to commit violent crimes against groups with the intent to destroy the existence of the group. The central issue raised by the site is informing people the awareness of Genocide. When I was looking into the cases mentioned on the website many of the cases are “racial profiling” against culture, religion and race. During the Holocaust the Nazis were a group that had wealth and power. According to Koppelman, during slavery, African Americans dead bodies were tossed overboard for the sharks to eat (pg106). From reading this example, the Nazis were torturing the Jews and throwing their lifeless bodies around. This site raises awareness about genocide and how it occurred during the Holocaust. My schema has changed tremendously because I knew very little facts about the Holocaust. I thought that the Jews were just being hated on and not being killed and slaughtered by the Nazis. I read the Anne Frank passage and she expressed how she felt during the time of the Holocaust and how it was a disgrace and how the Nazis were destroying the values and beliefs of the Jews. This reminds me of how immigrants come into the United States and were forced to be Americanize because of the United States

The u.s. Holocaust memorial museum was dedicated in 1993. The museum’s permanent exhibit titled the holocaust is divided into three parts. “Nazi Assault,Final Solution, Last Chapter”. Upon entrance,visitors are given a card with the name of a real person who was persecuted by Nazis or their collaborators. They are guided on a path through a three level exhibit, which contains photos, artifacts, and audio and video footage as well as large scale installations, including a polish railcar that was used to transport jews to concentration camps and visitors are allowed to board. Throughout the exhibit visitors are given a chance to learn about the fate of the individual on their assigned identity card.

The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is an institution to remind us about the ones who were murdered in the Holocaust. “Tell Them We Remember: The Story of the Holocaust” is a nonfiction book written by Susan D. Bachrach and it informs the reader about the tragic incidents that occurred during the Holocaust. Honestly, I never fully understood what the Holocaust was and I chose to read this book to learn more about it.

The Holocaust Memorial Center Zekelman Family Campus is about the horrendous events such as hate crimes that were happening during World War II. The definition of Holocaust from the museum website perspective is “The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of approximately six million Jews and five million other persons by the Nazi regime and its collaborators” (Holocaust and Survivor Defined.). “The term Holocaust comes from the Greek words of “holos” (whole) and “kaustos” (burn) which was used to describe a sacrificial offering burned on an alter” (History.com). The museum has been around for more than 25 years, in Farmington Hills and has been acknowledged by the Wall Street Journal. The museum does not only reflect on the evil, but also the strength and the courage of the victims affected in this genocide. The purpose of the Holocaust museum is to remember those who have passed away and survived, as well as, to teach and inform others about the events. There were many exhibits to choose from such as, the Jewish heritage, the descent into Nazism and the postwar period. The exhibit I will be focusing on is called, The Camp System.

While the Holocaust may be a difficult topic for students to study in school, it still plays an important role in the history of our world and as a result should continue to be taught to all. It is not only important that the students learn about the Holocaust because is was arguably one of the largest acts of allowed discrimination and racism but because it helps students to learn why what happened was wrong so that they do not promote the kind of behavior shown during WWII and we have to experience another Holocaust. In other words, students need to learn about the Holocaust so it does not happen again in the future. While another genocide as damaging as the Holocaust does not seem possible, there are still people all throughout the world

A person’s heritage and cultural identity may be lost when moving to a new country where the culture is different and other cultures are not easily accepted. In the short story “Hindus”, Bharati Mukherjee uses setting, characters and the plot to discuss what it is like to lose your cultural identity while being a visible minority in America. Mukherjee uses the plot to describe the events that take place in the main characters life that lead her to realize how different the culture and life is in the America’s. She also uses the characters as a way of demonstrating how moving away from one’s culture and heritage can change a person’s perspective and ways of thinking. Mukerjee also uses setting in her story to identity the physical differences in culture between living in India and America. Alike the setting and characters, the plot helps describe the loss of culture with a sequence of events.

Memorialization of any sort can be a tedious process, but those regarding Holocaust remembrance were particularly challenging given the surrounding social and political controversies that ensued. This is primarily seen through the issue of representation, which consistently played a key role in the creation of both the Holocaust museum in Washington D.C., and the Dachau concentration camp memorial. While the Dachau memorial’s conception stages, the designers were contemplating which victim groups to include. For instance, the mayor of Dachau stated, “Please do not make the mistake of thinking that only heroes died in Dachau. Many inmates were…there because they illegally opposed the regime of the day….You have to remember there were many criminals and homosexuals in Dachau. Do we want a memorial to such people?” (Harold Maruse, “Dachau,” 151). With this quote, the mayor implies that the memorial will only be dedicated to those he deems worthy of representation. Likewise, the White House officials orchestrating the American Holocaust Museum also debated a similar notion regarding the inclusion of ethic victim groups other than the Jews. However, Wiesel and other Holocaust survivors believed that commemorating non-Jews was an “…obscene incursion into the boundaries of Holocaust memory by those whose country-men had persecuted survivors” (Edward T. Linenthal, Preserving Memory, 53). For this reason, and in order to avoid the generation of false memories, these groups

Museums related to the Holocaust are seen by some to be a “necessary evil.” How can we comprehend the catastrophe that is the death of eleven million? However, even if we might not be able to understand their suffering, we need to understand the history of the Holocaust. For years, Holocaust museums have relied on art, exhibits, and testimony to convey the story of the Holocaust. Yet as we progress further into the twenty-first century, all the survivors will pass, and the means of conveying must change. For instance, the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center have plans to put in place a VR (virtual reality) exhibit that lets you ask questions to a “virtual” survivor of the Holocaust. While this innovational use of VR is impressive,

How many people need to be killed before a crisis becomes a genocide? How many sections of article 2 Of the UN convention needs to occur to be considered a genocide? Is the sterilization of hundreds of Puerto rico women taking imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group considered Genocide? Is police targeting and killing certain grips of people more often a form of genocide? What are the key differences between civil wars and genocides? When should other countries step in to prevent such atrocities? SURF Survivors funds states that, “Over the course of 100 days from April 6 to July 16 1994, an estimated 800,000 to 1 million Tutsis and some moderate Hutus were slaughtered in the Rwandan genocide. A recent report has estimated the number to be close to 2 million”. In the book We wish to inform you that tomorrow we will be killed with out families stories from Rwanda, The author Phillip Gourevitch writes “The French Foreign Minister-had taken to describing the slaughter in Rwanda as “Genocide”. But the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights still favored the phrase”possible genocide (Gourevitch,152)”. It is without a doubt the civil war in Rwanda was a genocide. It qualifies as such because it fits all the criteria under article 2 of the UN genocide convention.
