For the past 300 years, the world’s society has displayed lots of unbelievable human cruelty. For example, slavery in the 18th and 19th century, African Americans were forced into harsh work labor because of their skin color. Then in the 20th century, a determined dictator, Adolf Hitler, murdered and tortured eleven million lives. This horrifying event was called the Holocaust, it occurred in 1933 but ended in 1945. Adolf Hitler was angered about the result of World War 1, so he blamed Jewish people, the disabled, and other groups. During the holocaust, the eleven million lives were forced into harsh work labors or was put into gas chambers and was killed instantly. People described the Holocaust as inhumane act, and the people that survived it, could really say it was a scarring memory.

"The Diary of Anne Frank" tells us a story about how her life as a Jew was drastically changing during the Holocaust and the start of World War II (WWII). She was a very intelligent young woman that had hopes and dreams. Anne was a normal teenager trying to find her way in life. All of that changed when the Nuremburg Race Laws were formed. Her father who was a World War I fighter hid his family and friends in a Secret Annex that was blended in with a normal neighborhood. As she lived for months in the Secret Annex, Frank had written her diary, full of her experiences in the Annex. Everything changed though, when she reached the end of her times in the Annex. Hitler's men had found Anne and her family and friends. This memoir adds in to the

Anne Frank was a Jewish/ German girl who was born in 1929 on June 12th. While in hiding, Anne kept a diary of her time spent in closed quarters trying to survive with seven other people. In the diary, she recorded her growth emotionally and all the stress that was put on her. After two years in hiding they were captured by the Nazis. While they were being captured, the diary was scattered on the floor. The Nazi’s took it and preserved it until the war was over. The pages of the diary were given to Anne’s father, Otto Frank, the only person to

By June 12, 1942, Anne Frank had been alive for thirteen years; as a gift, she received a diary. Her thirteenth birthday present was used to record her thoughts and emotions built up over the two years that she and the others stayed hidden away in the secret annex after her sister, Margot Frank, was called to a German concentration camp. This, an excerpt from Anne Frank 's diary, displays the horror that was felt: “I was stunned. A call-up, everyone knows what that means. Visions of concentration camps and lonely cells raced through my head.” A normal teenage girl shouldn’t have to endure these types of things. It was courageous of Anne to even write in the diary. She is truthful about the horror of this historical event. She could have left out the gruesome details but if

The Diary of Anne Frank is a remarkably moving book about the short life of a young girl and her family. The Holocaust was a horrible time for Jewish people and Anne and her Jewish family’s lives were completely turned upside down as a result. The war resulted in the deaths of countless people, mostly innocent people. Before the invasion on D-day and the end of the war not too long after, the rest of the world didn’t know the real disaster going on over seas. Anne Frank’s once secret diary has introduced the immense suffering and horror that occurred during the Holocaust.

The Second World War was the bloodiest war in the history of all wars. Over 60million people died. 11million of those people were not just men. They were also, tragically, women and children alike. The poor souls of the holocaust will always be remembered, and we will always morn there sacrifice. They were viciously ripped from their homes and put in a place no human being could ever survive in.

During World War II, most of the countries, after invading a land, took adversary soldiers who surrendered as prisoners. They were, most of the time, sent to concentration camps. Although the treatment of these prisoners of war (POWs) was different from country to country, it was mostly harsh and ignorant. According to Gavan Daws, a historian, Japanese concentration camps are the ones, where the behavior of the military was the most brutal and ruthless. Although the Japanese Imperial government had vowed to treat prisoners of war with consideration and appreciation, they dealt with the detainees fiercely while medicinal treatment was apathetic. Japanese military is well known as being sadistic and ignorant towards the Allied POWs. The discipline

In World War II many, many, wrong and disturbing things happened. Jews were treated differently and sent off to concentration camps to die. There were so many ways in which they would be killed. Some, of starvation, others off of working their butts off non-stop, some of sicknesses and diseases, and many were sent off into gas chambers. It

Frank wrote in her diary specific details of what it was like being a Jew under Hitler’s control. Anne got her diary for her 13th birthday. The diary started out as just a normal teenage girl writing about crushes and fights at school. However, when the Frank family had to go into hiding the entries changed dramatically.

The purpose of this paper is to show examples of evil both individual and institutional. Adolf Hitler’s vision of war and genocide was chosen as an example of individual evil. What other person in the 20th century defines evil better than Adolf Hitler? The Japanese invasion and subsequent rape of the then Chinese capital city of Nanking (Nanjing) in December 1937, was chosen as an institutional example of evil. These pages will show how a man rose to power in Germany and set in motion events that engulfed the world’s then superpowers in the costliest war in world history. How an army lost control of it’s men that then looted, burned and then systematically raped, tortured, and murdered 300,000 Chinese

World War II proved to be the deadliest war in history, and it resurfaced how divided humankind can be. Under the Nazi regime, Hitler promoted that the Aryan race was superior to other races. Hitler then created concentration and death camps to eliminate the inferior Jewish population from existence. Many prisoners of these camps did not survive; historians estimate that five to six million Jewish people were killed in the Holocaust. Primo Levi was one of the survivors of Auschwitz, one of the most horrible death camps in World War II. Levi wrote about his experience in the camp, to document and remember the atrocities of the Holocaust. Auschwitz was an unparalleled environment that nurtured immoral tendencies when no sense of community or compassion existed in the death camp.

Fear. Disgust. Murder. If you walked into a concentration camp during World War II, you would see, feel and smell awful things happening around you. Concentration camps were established by the Nazi’s to keep the people contained who they thought weren’t perfect, or dangerous. World War II was a horrible time, especially for the people in the concentration camps because they suffered greatly.

She obtained her diary on her thirteenth birthday and she cherished it very much. At first, she wrote about her life in Amsterdam and lightly described the movement against the Jews.
