Why I 'm Fine Rudolph

“Adolf Eichmann went to the gallows with great dignity. He had asked for a bottle of red wine and had drunk half of it. He refused the help of the Protestant minister the Reverend William Hull who offered to read the Bible with him: he had only two more hours to live and therefore no “time to waste.” He walked the fifty yards from his cell to the execution chamber calm and erect with his hands bound behind him. When the guards tied his ankles and knees he asked them to loosen the bonds so that he could stand straight. “I don’t need that ” he said when the black hood was offered him. He was in complete command of himself nay he was more: he was completely himself. Nothing could have demonstrated this more convincingly than the grotesque silliness of his last words. He began by stating emphatically that he was a Gottgläubiger to express in common Nazi fashion that he was no Christian and did not believe in life after death. He then proceeded: “After a short while gentlemen we shall all meet again. Such is the fate of all men. Long live Germany long live Argentina long live Austria. I

The third phase of the holocaust was known as the final stage. In 1942 at a meeting held in Wannsee Poland, Hitler’s top officials agreed to begin a new phase of the mass murder of Jews. In addition to mass slaughter and starvation they would add a third method of killing. This third method was committing murder by poisonous gas. As deadly as overwork, starvation, beatings, and bullets were, they did not kill fast enough to satisfy the Nazis. The Germans built six death camps in Poland. The first, Chelmno began operating in 1941, before the meeting at Wannsee. Each camp had several large gas chambers in which as many as 12,000 people could be killed a day. Auschwitz was the largest of the death camps. The Jews were told to undress because they would be taking a shower. They

I’m late. The Starbucks line was long and the coffee stain is still splattered on my black skirt. I check my calendar, September 11. The city’s smog is killing me. If it wasn’t for this meeting, I’d be at my allergist getting new medication to deal with it. I take another sip of my coffee. The heat and the splash of mint I had them add, helps open up my sinuses.

The first time I walked through the streets of Warsaw, the most populated ghetto, housing over four hundred thousand Jews was June 1, 1937. From over the ghetto’s fence, the smell of retched death seeped over. Every man with me pinched their faces in disgust. An officer walked over to greet us at our station wagon. The excitement in his eyes of meeting greeting me was admiring. He reached his hand out and nervously stated, “I can’t believe I am meeting the one and only Adolf Hitler. How do you do, Sir? Sargent? General?” I shot my hand out confidently, and shook his hand, “Good Day, officer. I have finally gotten the time to visit Warsaw, my apologies for waiting so long. You know what they say,

Rough Draft The catastrophes taking place in Europe during the late 1940s remains embedded in the minds of average civilians as a result of the dehumanization regarding non-Aryan people. Elie Wiesel, a novelist who won the Nobel Peace Prize, wrote the memoir Night, which signifies the important yet distorted facts of this grueling theme. A series of flashbacks combined with flash forwards draw the horrific images in a way that seems hard to conceive. Throughout the concentration camps, animalistic torture never seems to end, leading to the Jewish people accepting and using dehumanization on a daily basis. The ways in which Nazi soldiers exterminated their innocent prisoners, explains how strongly these men supported the German

On a cold rainy night at Chicago O’Hare airport, there were four men who were traveling to a convention held in Rome, Italy. The topic for the convention was about culture and linguistic issues. Now, these men were childhood acquaintance that haven’t seen each other in their young teens. While each of them was mesmerized on their tablets they each took a seat at the nearest Starbucks café shop. Once the baristas called the men for their order, they were surprised and delighted to encounter each other at the counter. They sat down

Sobibor: 250,000 dead. Majdanek: more than a million. Auschwitz: two million. Never in the history of humankind – whose bloodstained history is full of the most horrendous crimes – had so many people been murdered in such small areas in such a short time” (Wiesel, 30). Martin Kitchen said, “Then, on 27 November 1944, Himmler ordered an end to the mass murder of the European Jews and the destruction of the gas chambers and crematoria.

January 24, 1945, the SS officers were taking all prisoners of Auschwitz on death marches so that they would all die quicker. Many who would go on these marches would not survive because they would run for miles without rest.
