Holocaust deniers plague society with ideas that the holocaust never happened and it is a giant hoax. One of the more known deniers is Barbara Kulaszka.

Auschwitz was a death camp located in Poland, under the control of Hitler in the early 1940’s. Over a total of four million Jews died in Auschwitz when it was running from November 1943 to December

What does the Holocaust mean to you? Some would say mass genocide, the extermination of the Jews or some may not be able to define it at all. The Holocaust – one of mankind’s worst atrocities committed in the past one hundred years, full of the thirteen years of prejudice and mistreatment that was endorsed by the fascist ideals. Over twelve million people perished due to this mass genocide of all races, ages, classes, and creeds. However, for some ignorance is bliss. Some do not acknowledge these

In the story of Maus, Spiegelman wrote about a time that a son wanted to learn about what happened to his father during the time he lived through the Holocaust.

Lessons can be learned through experiments but at what cost? Steven Pinker, a experimental psychologist, once said, “If you give people literacy, bad ideas can be attacked and experiments tried, and lessons will accumulate.” This quote by Pinker gives a great idea what could happen when people get literate and conduct experiments that they will do to learn more. The Nazi’s wanted to learn more about the human body. During the Holocaust, the experiments that they performed were the most wicked and

The helpless Jews had no idea of how long their journey would be and that their chance of survival was
