These camps included Chelmno, Belzec, Sobibor, Treblinka, and the most notorious of all the death camps, Auschwitz. Auschwitz was the site of the deaths of

like a colony; the Poles will become the slaves of the Greater German World Empire." Frank can be considered the emblematic ‘desk perpetrator’, never personally drawing the trigger but managerially supporting the smooth organization of the killing operations and deportation of Polish Jews. The area originally contained from 2,500,000 to 3,500,000 Jews. They were forced into ghettoes, subjected to discriminatory laws, deprived of the food

The holocaust can be regarded as one of the most awful events in history and the swastika continues to be a constant reminder of the horrendous acts of hate that were bestowed onto human lives. More than 1 million people were brutally murdered at the hands of an evil dictator named Adolf Hitler. Some of the vivid events and actions that took place during this time have been highlighted in the poem “The Trains” written by William Heyen. Heyen discusses the trains of Treblinka which carried the prized

annexation of Austria and certain regions of Czechoslovakia to the Third Reich (“The Einsatzgruppen” par. 3). In consonance with Merriman and Winter, units were comprised of the Sonderkommandos, that administered in the Soviet Union near the theater of operations, or the more conspicuous Einsatzkommandos, which operated inside the battlefield. Formulated as motorized mobile units, they would be transmuted into officers of the Gestapo or the Sicherheitsdienst after several weeks of service. However, methods

Susan Griffin's "Our Secret" is a study in psychology. It is a look into the human mind to see what makes people do the things they do and in particular what makes people commit acts of violence. She isolates the first half of the twentieth century and in particular the era of the Second World War as a basis for her study. The essay discusses a number of people but they all tie in to Heinrich Himmler. He is the extreme case, he who can be linked directly to every single death in the concentration

and that God always should him. However, all he actually did was destroying the society. But The Second World War did also help us to develop medicines. The final solution was a solution directed to the Jews under the Second World War. SS-general Reinhard Heydrich got an order from Hitler in the ending of 1941 to make the solution. January 20. 1920, he had a plan for the final solution, he had worked together with Adolf Eicmann. They shared their example of the final solution at a conference in Berlin

How many people will I kill in my lifetime? I am not some deranged serial killer with deadly intentions, but I am a person that is aware that my actions could have ramifications that I cannot possibly fathom. Perhaps “kill” is not the right word. How many deaths will I be responsible for by the time I leave this earth? Much better. As Susan Griffin asserts in “Our Secret”, the lives of everyone on this planet are much more intertwined that most like to believe. As are the lives of those who have

The Wannsee Conference Have you ever had a business meeting, a conference? Could you imagine a meeting to draw an outline to exterminate a population, 11 million Jews? The Wannsee Conference was a “meeting” to discuss how they would kill all the Jews. The Wannsee Conference put the Final Solution in motion; the World had lost their opportunity to save 6 million Jews and others. The Beginning Hitler came to power in Germany in 1933, after World War 1 when tensions were high because the Treaty of

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. We need to learn about the terrible things that happened so that we will know what horrible
