Haunted Houses I am testing the pseudoscience of haunted houses. In the history of the world there has been multiple reporting’s of haunted houses. The majority of these reporting’s have been about buildings in which tragic or violent events have happened. Locations include old penitentiaries, insane asylums, or houses where murders have occurred. In this experiment I propose a test after all other possible explanations have been canceled out. Such explanations include creepy sounds, unexplained drafts, and the like. These could be due to a leaky pipe, unstable foundations or even people’s own perceptions of things around them. After checking off the explainable from the list, the next step is to collect 18 individuals who will test out the …show more content…
Testimonies come from both the victims and perpetrators. The amount of detail and correlating stories is chilling. Auschwitz was the most famous death camp of all. There the famous Dr. Mengele worked choosing the unlucky bunch for his gruesome medical experiments. He was known as The Angel of Death because of his drug test, castrations, experimental surgeries, and after these were done, without anesthesia, the children were exterminated. Eyewitnesses testify to these crimes and their own personal stories. One such story was twins Marc and Francesca Berkowitz, both twelve who were exposed to freezing baths, smeared chemicals and countless injections. Marc was even forced to see his mother go to the crematorium. Confessions of officers told the stories of seeing the weak, the old, and the young herded away into gas chambers. The promises of coffee after their “disinfection” but in reality it was their demise. Historians do not freely accept any account told to them but investigate it and analyze the accuracy before supporting it. After the war the Allies interrogated and documented the statements of the perpetrators. None denied the mass murders, only tried to minimize their guilt in the affairs. Copies of the documents from the Reich Security Main Office showed files from the Gestapo in Germany. Such files showed cooperation between agencies led by the SS on mobile killing units to kill Jews. Films, that Germans once took proudly, worked against them in trials. This served as evidence, clearly showing examples of the atrocities. Such as public humiliation, mass murder, confinement, and
Auschwitz: A Doctor’s Eyewitness Account by Dr. Miklós NyiszlI is a non-fiction memoir of a Jewish Hungarian medical doctor who performed alongside Dr. Josef Mengele in the Nazi death camp Auschwitz from 1944-45 to conduct “research” on Jews. This book is a lot to swallow and doesn’t beat around the bush, it’s straight to the point.
Only about 3,546,211 people survived the Holocaust. Adolf Hitler was the main leader of the Holocaust, he did this because of his discrimination of Jews. There were more than just Jews killed, there were gay people, priests, gypsies, people with mental or physical disabilities, communists, trade unionists, Jehovah’s Witnesses, anarchists, Poles and other Slavic peoples, and resistance fighters. The Holocaust happened between 1933 through 1945 in Germany and Poland. Night, is an autobiography written by Elie Wisel who was involved in the Holocaust. Auschwitz Death Camp, it is a video documentary of the death camp including Elie Wisel and Oprah Winfrey. The truth about the Holocaust to me is horrendous, all the torturing they had to go through
The Holocaust was a tragic and fatal experience that many Jews suffered from during World War II. The most famous survivor, Elie Wiesel writes about his experiences in his memoir Night. Elie is tortured, starved dehydrated, and beaten. Trauma like this transforms people. Elie’s experiences in Auschwitz also altered his relationship with God and his father.
These atrocities in their context are hidden behind a veil of silence over those who suffered trauma and witnessed it as well. The best way to describe these events is as horrible acts. Some of the sufferers in these events are “rape victims, combat veterans, battered women and survivors of concentration camps.”
Children are murdered. Innocent people are held prisoners. No one knows. The ones who do know do not try to help. This is the story of the Holocaust and the atrocities the Nazis committed.
The Winchester house is one of the oddest and one of most haunted houses in the world. It is located in northern California. It cost over $20,000,000 to make. The owner, Mrs. Winchester, was rich because her family made the Winchester repeating rifle known as “The gun that won the west”. The house has 160 rooms and there are spirits in each room. The builders had to keep remaking rooms that if Mrs. Winchester kept them all she would have 600 rooms. So when they were done with the house, which took over 30 years to make, there were stairs that led to the ceiling and doors that led to walls.

The Holocaust was a horrible time period where Nazi’s attempted a genocide of Jewish people, gypsies and others they deemed had a disability. The victims would be sent to concentration camps, such as Auschwitz. The point of views the authors used can advance their purpose. If authors use objective point of view, they give only facts about the topic and does not give any opinions or bias. Unlike objective, subjective point of views helps form your opinion by giving the author’s experience and bias. The article “Auschwitz,” the film One Day at Auschwitz, and the memoir Night by Elie Wiesel feature information and experiences during the time the Holocaust took place.
At the entrance to each death camp, there was a process of Selektion or selection. Pregnant women, small children, the sick or handicapped, and the elderly were immediately condemned to death. As horrific as it was, it didn’t surprise many that Hitler had the audacity to do these terrible things. The Holocaust was an act of genocide in which Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany killed about two thirds of the population of Jews in Europe from 1941-1945 but the trouble started brewing much before that. Though there were only a small amount of survivors, very few alive to this day, there are many pieces of literature that help prove that this in fact happened. Literature can help us remember and honor the victims of the Holocaust because, it gives different
One of the most important events in our history occurred from 1941 to 1945 also known as the Holocaust. It just so happens that the Holocaust is one of the most controversial topics that is thought to be fake and unrealistic, but there is evidence of bodies being found, stories of witnesses’ awful experiences and the Nuremberg trials. With so much evidence, people should believe the Holocaust existed, but no one can really know unless they were actually there and witness the events that took place. However, it is better to believe rather than to find out and feel bad in the
The Holocaust was one of the most brutal, dehumanizing events in the world. American history explains how the United states fought for liberation of the many occupied by the Nazis. Throughout my years in school, I have learned about this topic, but not in detail. I had the chance to watch an amazing documentary titled One Day in Auschwitz. It featured a woman named Kitty Hart-Moxon, a Holocaust survivor of Polish-English background. Separated from her family, she was thrown into the well-known death camp, Auschwitz. She described her story of survival to two young girls; they were the same age as Kitty was during that time.
The name is Manfred. I have been a Hitler Youth my whole life. I am questioning everything that I have been taught, as my Führer is dead. But, I will never give up on my Führer, even in death. Now the worst possible news has come. This plague of “democracy” has somehow won the war. I have seen questions about this second world war circling around in newspapers, and on the radio. I plan to answer these questions in my journal today. One thing these disgusting westerners have discussed was the “atrocities” of the Auschwitz extermination camp. They have said, “Who is to blame for this Holocaust?”
Eighteen million Europeans went through the Nazi concentration camps. Eleven million of them died, almost half of them at Auschwitz alone.1 Concentration camps are a revolting and embarrassing part of the world’s history. There is no doubt that concentration camps are a dark and depressing topic. Despite this, it is a subject that needs to be brought out into the open. The world needs to be educated on the tragedies of the concentration camps to prevent the reoccurrence of the Holocaust. Hitler’s camps imprisoned, tortured, and killed millions of Jews for over five years. Life in the Nazi concentration camps was full of terror and death for its individual prisoners as well as the entire Jewish
The Holocaust was inhuman. “The IMT defined crimes against humanity as ' murder,extermination, enslavement, deportation...or persecutions on political, racial, or religious grounds'” (Trials). Murder, extermination, persecutions all occurred during the Holocaust. Nonetheless the Nazis tried to hide what was going on in Germany. After Soviet Union's attack in eastern Belarus, the Germans began moving all the prisoners in every concentration camp in Europe. The Nazi did not want the public, especially the Allies, to know the stories in these camps. They viewed these prisoners as labors and bargain chips (Death Marches) and treated those poor men and women's lives as dust under their feet. They kept the prisoners alive only because they were “hostages”, and Germans needed those labors to work for them in order to continue fighting the war; in short, the prisoners were still useful to the Nazis. Fortunately, no matter how hard the Germans tried to cover up their crimes, the Allies found enough evidence for the trial after World War II. After the Allied troops captured the concentration camps, the survivors testified and provided evidence for British officials to use on the trials of Nazi war criminals (Testimony). The Allies sentenced the criminals guilty, executed many of the high ranking Nazi officers, and officially ended the bloody chaos.
All of these stories give examples of the dehumanization of the Nazi’s. They took away their names, their lives, and most of all their humanity. Imagine if you were in that situation. You are alive but do you really feel
