Elie Wiesel said "combat indifference, intolerance and injustice¨(Biography 2). When Cesar Chavez stood up for what is right just because the Hispanics had different skin color or came from a different place doesn 't mean they should get treated unfairly and the holocaust did bad things to innocent people because they had different faiths. Chavez is standing up for what is right and making a strike how people were put in the camps in the Holocaust what the similarities are between them what the differences are between them conclusively about the holocaust and Chavez.

People can tell you to keep your mouth shut, but it doesn’t stop you having your own opinion. Even if people are still very young, they shouldn’t be prevented from saying what they think.”(theguardian,) This is the way that the holocaust affected me most it really affected me because I saw how much pain and suffering that was in the holocaust. That is never how people should be treated like that i 've seen movies and documentaries about the holocaust, but I can only imagine how bad it could it be. How they only got one piece of bread a day and a small bowl of soup in the US we are pretty spoiled we pretty much always have food. It is a locator for people in the US. The US should have joined the war sooner because we could have helped in the fighting against the Natizes when what they were doing was wrong. When I think of the holocaust I think of it usually bad as I was thinking about it some good came out of it, like at least nothing like that will ever happen again since the holocaust happen it will never happen again or anything like it. The unfair treatment of people so my first paragraph was about who Cesar Chavez was and how he fought for what was right and to get better pay for the Hispanic people. In my second paragraph, it was about the similarities of Cesar Chavez and the holocaust, and how Cesar protest was nonviolent protest. In my thing and final paragraph I talked about how the holocaust affected me as a
In history there was many events that were horrifying. The Holocaust was one of those frightful events. During the World War II, the nazis were the ones in charge of the Holocaust. Six million Jews, homosexuals, and gypsies were killed and the survivors had to live their life with fear. These writers use several techniques in order to convey the horrors of the Holocaust.
The Holocaust will always be one of the most horrific memories that will never be suppressed. The Holocaust was when millions of Jews were thrown into concentration camps and tortured until their death. Families were being split up, not knowing they would never see each other again. It was so tragic, that the Jews eventually did not mind the deceased bodies lying beside them on the ground. Six million Jews were killed in the Holocaust.
Cesar Chavez had a great pride towards everything he stood for, whether it was his catholic beliefs or protecting his fellow man from the oppressor. Growing up in America, Cesar Chavez witnessed discrimination from being Mexican first hand. By growing up in a family oriented catholic home, he was raised to care about the well being of others and to approach life in a nonviolent manner. Having a father who was a farmer, he witnessed the poor living conditions and wages that were given to him and knew that something had to be done. Cesar Chavez’s fight for improving working conditions for farmers helped him gather a large following of Mexican Americans.
“Human rights are being violated on every continent. More people are oppressed than free… One person of integrity can make a difference, a difference of life and death,” said Elie Wiesel about the world in his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech. He was so passionate about these things--But why? The answer lies in this: he was a Holocaust survivor, in fact one of the most prominent.
Through studying this tragic event, the dangers of racism and prejudice will be clear. At ages most students learn about the holocaust, they struggle with loyalty, conformity, peer pressure, and belonging. The Holocaust may help teach youth to be aware of how to navigate these pressures of society and be able to make the correct decisions however difficult that may be (Why teach The Holocaust?). Stories of specific people from The Holocaust can engage students into a great lesson that they can take into their daily lives (Why teach about The
The Holocaust is an important subject to be taught in schools, because it teaches students valuable morals, helps them explore themselves, and it is important for people to learn from history. The Holocaust involved many people from many different backgrounds, so it can be related to students. In the Holocaust people from certain backgrounds were targeted and sent to work in labor and death camps. Of these groups the most famous are the Jews, who were sent to work in these camps until they died resulting in the death of between 5 and 6 million Jews living in Europe.
Martin Luther Kings persuasive and empowering speeches played a huge role in the Civil Rights Movements. Through his peaceful protests and captivating speeches, MLK blew the minds of his followers — they tore down racial barriers, such as ending public segregation, that had been set in stone for decades. It was public figures like him who truly shaped this movement. Another popular public figure, Cesar Chavez, was someone from a different race but had almost the same goal as Martin Luther king, to end discrimination, racism, and exploitation inside America. Though both MLK and Cesar Chavez fought for their rights using none violence tactics, members of the gay community, (LGBT), did the opposite.
Elie Wiesel's Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech included him talking about how he could not believe that the Holocaust had happened and the whole world just turned their backs. In the speech, Elie Wiesel states,¨ ‘And then I explain to him how naive we were, that the world did know and remained silent,’¨. Elie Wiesel is saying how the world knew about the Holocaust, but they just remained silent and did not say anything that could help stop it. This relates back to the thesis because no one had empathy and they just allowed this horrible thing to
That's just another reason we need to teach kids about the holocaust, but don't stop there. We need to teach them about all the genocide events that took place. They need to learn about the flaws of their world, so they can fix them. In conclusion, the holocaust should be taught in schools because, it teaches students about the thin line between good and evil, it was a major event of history in the 20th century, they should know the past early so they can prepare for the future, and it helps them deal with the world they live in
Years back, migrant farm workers worked the fields of California in horrible conditions such as no breaks and pesticide exposure. Years before that, poor children had to work in factories and mills, losing fingers from accidents as they live off of stale bread and coffee. But two people were able to help these people from the unfair treatment they were up against, Cesar Chavez and Mother Jones. Both were able to give their people a better life to their people, later on or during their lifetime. “About Cesar” is a biography by the Cesar Chavez Foundation (CCF) about the life of Cesar Chavez when he learned the difficulties of migrant farm workers and later on creates a union, helping those farm workers stand up and fight for themselves and
“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”- Harriet Tubman. One very important activist in our history was Cesar Chavez who, along with Harriet Tubman, stood up for human rights. Cesar Chavez wanted to change the fact that field workers were being mistreated, and they didn’t have their rights as a “normal person” would.

"Do you know why most survivors of the Holocaust are vegan? It's because they know what it's like to be treated like an animal,” as said by Chuck Palahniuk, the man himself. The term Holocaust has been studied by many different sceintists for over 30 years and The holocaust was a very murderous event killing over 11 million people. The man who lead the very murderous event was Adolf Hitler. In some schools, the teachers try not to even bring up the holocaust because they try to forget about it.
Both Cesar Chavez and Nelson Mandela have a lot of similarities and differences. On the next two paragraphs it is going to be showing their differences and their similarities. Cesar Chavez helped in civil rights. He even helped himself because he was a latino Chavez quote was “Talk is cheap It is the way we organize and use our lives every day that tells what we believe in.”
What saddened me the most was that it seemed like people had not learned from the Holocaust what they should have. This also makes me feel that what we were doing there was much more important than we originally thought. The Holocaust is still a topic that needs to be talked about and taught. And that is what we were doing there: learning and
