The Holocaust and Unfairness We’ve all heard the saying, everything is fair in “love and war”. But do the outcomes of all war, have a fair ending.

During this time, he was exposed to political rhetoric from German nationalists. Taking an interest in politics, Hitler began to form his ideologies of his perfect country.

1.) Memorialization of any sort can be a tedious process, but those regarding Holocaust remembrance were particularly challenging given the surrounding social and political controversies that ensued. This is primarily seen through the issue of representation, which consistently played a key role in the creation of both the Holocaust museum in Washington D.C., and the Dachau concentration camp memorial. While the Dachau memorial’s conception stages, the designers were contemplating which victim

I have chosen these two cycles to analyse because they represent the two side of one story, the masculine and feminine points of views of love. These two song cycles were composed shortly after one another.

Like Gretchen’s song at the spinning wheel, these poems too involve

Dachau Concentration Camp Throughout the existence of Dachau, over 180,000 people passed through the main camp. After Adolf Hitler became Chancellor, Dachau was built, so that made it the first regular concentration camp built in Germany.
