Why Is The Holocaust Successful

The Holocaust was a terrible thing in history, one of the worst things to ever happen. In the article, “The Holocaust, Part Two: The ‘Final Solution’” has objectivity, but has subjectivity too. Objectivity is when something is based around facts, and subjectivity is when something has opinions in it. A lot of articles are mainly objective, but with a subject like the Holocaust, an opinion is very helpful in explaining a point. The Holocaust, Part Two: The "Final Solution" has objectivity, but has subjectivity too.

In the first 11 months, four and a half million people were killed or died. By the end of World War II, approximately six million Jews, including a little more than a million children, were murdered by Nazis. To persuade the prisoners to go into the gas chambers, signs such as ‘baths and disinfecting rooms’ and ‘cleanliness brings freedom’ were hung above the entrance. Gas from the chambers took about 20 minutes to kill everyone in the chamber; 6,000 people died everyday due to this sorcery. During the death marches, intolerable work, approximately 100,000 people died. Sixty percent of the Jews lived in Europe in 1933, which means that about forty percent of the Jewish population died during the holocaust in Europe. Only nine percent of Poland's Jews survived; however, 99% of the Jewish Denmark population survived. Unfortunately, only 2,500 Jewish people survived out of 4,500 in Estonia. Although, there were only 800,000 people in Hungary, 204,000 survived, which is a little more than one fourth of the initial Jewish population. Overall there are 195,000 survivors and counting. Five million of the 11 million people that were killed were non-Jewish. Most survivors are located in the United States or Canada, although many families have registered survivors from 59 other countries. However, most countries were largely unaware of the Holocaust and its scope until they were able to see the evidence themselves. Some felt guilty for surviving when six million suffered and died. One particular, Jeannine Burk, thought and said, "Why am I alive? Why is my father dead? Why did 6,000,000 die and I am alive?" Statistics show that Holocaust survivors are three times more likely to commit suicide. It is hard for some parents to tell their children what happened because they went through so

Have you ever thought of what the final solution was and will be remembered as? The

I choose this quote because today all nazis are looked at as monsters and terrible people. This is true for the majority of nazis, but not all. People like Schindler are reason why the 3.5 million Jews survived the holocaust. My reaction to this quote was total shock because just like everyone else I believed all nazis were terrible. This quote gave me a different point of view towards nazis and showed me that some nazis actually helped the Jews survive. Mr. Schindler alone saved nearly 1,200 innocent Jews from death. He did this by hiring Jews to work for him and in return gave them some food and a place to stay outside of the concentration camps. He did much more for his jewish employees than would ever be expected from him. For

Why do we learn about the holocaust? We learn about the holocaust to inform us about things hitler did, educate ourselves on what could happen in the future, to gain knowledge on the harsh ways of discrimination and the horrible treatment of jews and undesirables, to realize how intense concentration camps actually were, And to realize just how far hitler went to get to what he called the final solution.

Liberation of the Holocaust was a very joyful, yet devastating time period for the Jews and others that were under control of the Nazi forces. It was their release from a long imprisonment, but also the time that they realized that some of their most loved ones had not survived. The Jews went through excruciating pain during the time of the Holocaust. And proven by facts, many to most Jews did not make it to the end. The Holocaust, according to Merriam-Webster, is defined as, “the killing of millions of Jews and other people by the Nazis during World War 2”. I have learned much more about the Holocaust than I thought I would. Furthermore, liberation was a very important stage during/after the Holocaust, and it has some very good and interesting questions to ask about it. Some of these questions are, “Why did the Holocaust end? How did the Jews get liberated? Also, how were Jews evacuated from camps and ghettos?”.

When many think of the Holocaust as a solely negative experience, and while it may seem easy to write the event off as a dark time in history that seems remote and unlikely to affect us today, there are some positive results, including the lessons that it brings for current and future humanity. The lessons that the Holocaust brings are applicable to every person in the world. While many of these lessons do focus on the negative aspects of the Holocaust, like what circumstances permit such a vast genocide and how many people can die because of widespread racial hatred, there are also those that focus on how some people, in all parts of Europe and throughout the world, retained their good human nature during the Holocaust. For example, what made some gentiles in Europe during that time willing and able to help Jews. Currently, Yad Vashem has recognized 26,513 rescuers throughout the world (Names), and the actual number of rescuers could likely be close to twice that amount (Baron,1). It is important that we analyze the reasons behind these rescuers’ choices to be upstanders instead of bystanders because we can learn about our own motivations when we face decisions between helping others and protecting ourselves, and possibly those we love, from harm. Fulfilling one’s self-interest was a potential motivation for helping Jews that will only be briefly addressed. This type of rescue potentially benefitted both the Jews and the Gentile rescuers; these Gentiles only helped Jews survive because they found personal gain, likely social or economic, in the action (Baron). However, in the situation that existed while rescuing the Jews, most efforts included the high possibility that both the rescuer and the rescued would end up worse off than they had begun with no potential for personal gain on either side. So those rescuers’ motivations are less easily explainable.

In today's world, people seem to worry about unnecessary things, like what they are going to wear or even if their hair looks good. Children living during the Holocaust had much more important things to worry about, like if they would survive. This inhumane carnage will haunt the survivors for the rest of their lives. The Holocaust was one of the worst genocides this world has ever seen. The children of the Holocaust were stripped from their beliefs, family, and endured the stress of wondering if they would see another day, the fright of concentration camps, and the strength to survive this massacre.

An Ending To A Terrible Beginning The Holocaust was one of the most horrible events in the 21st Century. As a teen, I have learned of this event in history as the most heart-breaking and depressing thing I have ever known. When I first learned about the Holocaust, all I knew was the large amounts of people died in the concentration camps; but over the last two years, I soon learned it was a specific group/race and religion which were the Nazis ( the name of the group that was causing all of this).There could people who were doing terrible things like this but in this case a good side during a evil moment in history was created to stop these hate crimes. Going into the grade eight, more details fell into place and the one that stood out the

“The Holocaust never really happened” Publically publishing this statement is punishable with up to 5 years imprisonment in the Federal Republic of Germany according to Paragraph 130 of the German national penal code. Why do you suppose that is? From 1941 – 1945 Jews were systematically murdered in one of the biggest genocide in history. Over 1 million Jew women, children and men died. But only a few hundred thousand survived. Despite the rough nearly impossible conditions of the holocaust, Jews showed three forms of resistances, armed, unarmed, and spiritual.

The Holocaust was a time period in which Adolf Hitler was the dictator of Nazi Germany. He prosecuted many Jews because he believed they were the reason World War 1 started, causing the death of 100,000 German soldiers. Because of this, he made sure nearly every Jew was put into concentration camps or killed. Adolf Hitler was a man who wanted everything his way, and because of this he killed innocent people. The Holocaust was an unfair period for the Jews. The Jews were killed because of who they were, and the citizens didn’t try to do anything to help them

As Elie Wiesel was taken through the Holocaust as a result of being a Jew, he began to ask himself this: “Blessed be God’s name? Why, but why would I bless him? Every fiber in me rebelled. Because he caused thousands of children to burn in his mass graves...Praise be Thy Holy Name, for having chosen us to be slaughtered on Thine altar,” (45). As many enter into wars and horrific events stemming from wars, they begin with strong and unwavering faith. As the war continues and nothing is relieved, people begin to question their faith as they lose sight of all hope. This loss of faith results in a shift in one’s mindset and point of view. As danger and violence seem to increase in wars, so does the struggle to maintain faith. As people continue on in horrible conditions for so long, they eventually reach a breaking point, causing them to abandon all hope, pride, or spirituality they have; because if their world is falling apart, being shattered, and becoming what seems to be unamendable, why has a leadership or a higher being not intervened? As wars continue to be waged throughout history, is has become apparent that the struggle to maintain faith is a theme seen universally as a result of dancing with violence, unsafety, and death.

How would it feel to be discriminated against and possibly murdered solely based on your religious background? Unfortunately, during the Holocaust, European Jews faced this challenge daily. The Nazi party enforced a German policy called the Final Solution, whose main goal was to eradicate European Jews. The Holocaust resulted because of the Final Solution. There were six concentration camps to which Jews were transported during this time, with Auschwitz being the largest with the most casualties.

The Holocaust revealed the extreme evil in human nature on both a grand and small scale. Hitler, a strong supporter of antisemitism, had an agenda to create a dominant Aryan race and would stop at nothing to diminish the Jewish population. This meant forcing innocent Jewish people into death and labor camps, where conditions were brutal and treatment was atrociously inhumane. Overtime, this grand scale oppression sparked anger and violence within the victims. Instead of supporting one another in times of trouble, they began to commit senseless acts of violence towards one another in response to the cruelty they faced. Survival became their highest value, at any cost. Elie Wiesel witnesses this first hand on many accounts and spends his life striving to educate the world about the horrors of the Holocaust. In his Holocaust memoir, Night, he uses the motifs: night, silence, and flames, to develop the idea that evil is part of human nature.

The Holocaust just didn’t effect the Jews it affected others and future generations. There are many lessons that we can learn from the Holocaust and how we can stop them from happening again. Some of these lessons are to be able to prevent these events, protect them in case they occur and to remember the event.
