According to the records of the holocaust, over 6 million Jews were killed in concentration camps and in gas chambers. This may seem like the holocaust was no big deal, but it was a huge deal. The Germans took so many Jews and forced them into concentration camps. They were killed just because they believed something different. Many people in the Holocaust had to survive obstacles, and try to gain their freedom or to help to free their family. They had to overcome obstacles just to get enough food to stay alive. Nothing is harder than persevering alone, then trying to stay strong when there is nobody there. The people in the holocaust had to be ripped away from their families and dragged away to concentration camps. They had to endure suffering …show more content…
The Polish and Jewish people were put in ghettos and concentration camps because of the way they looked. Even people who wrote children's books like Dr. Seuss saw and wrote about the discrimination of people. In the Sneetches there are two different types of sneetches who were discriminated because they did not have a star. Here is a quote that shows discriminating against others. “They never invited the Plain-Belly Sneetches. They left them out cold, in the dark of the beaches” (Seuss 7). The Jews were treated very badly just because of the they looked and many authors were trying to show this in their works so that it would not happen again. Many authors portrayed this in their works so that people would know what was going …show more content…
Many people in the holocaust had to deal with their family and friends being taken away from them. They had to overcome being alone or being afraid or depressed, and not being able to communicate with people. Their are some people not even in the holocaust that had to overcome the pain of not being able to help suffering Jews. “Possibly the only time Max’s illness didn’t hurt was at dinner” (Zusak 330). This shows how painful it was that Max was ill. For someone you care for to be dying, and not be able to do anything. Many Jews had to endure this. Not to be physically hurt, but to be mentally hurt. Many people in the holocaust were abused and treated very badly, but some people even today are still not aware of the tragedies that happened in the internment camps. They have to overcome the ignorance of not knowing what happened and learn about what happened. Some people also know what the holocaust is and choose to ignore the tragedies that befell the Jews. Some time ago there was a film made to recognise a school and what they did to honor the Jews that were killed in the
Strength overcomes weakness People have to have something to believe in during tough times otherwise they will not be able to survive. During the holocaust, many Jewish people were stripped of their clothes, identities, and basic human rights. Survivors of the Holocaust often talk about something they found to be able to keep them alive. They often talk about if they didn't have that source of strength or perseverance they would not be here today.
Unfortunately, many people were not lucky during the time of the Holocaust. During the Holocaust, many people were killed. Many people were killed not by what they did but by who they were, how much money they had, how old they were, and what gender they were(Hitler's rise to power). The Holocaust was a time of sorrow for the Jews whose family members were
I could never image the pain and suffering the Jewish people went through. They were separated from their families, beaten, starved, and most were killed. Many Jews simply could not believe that Hitler really meant to kill them all, I can’t believe it either. But once the Nazis had complete control and the Jews were being relocated to ghettos, rations were reduced, conditions were horrible and the Jews did not have the strength, physically, emotionally, or militarily, to resist. There were uprisings in the camps, but it was incredibly difficult and rarely
Everyone has to overcome obstacles sometime in their life. During the Holocaust, Jews had to overcome many more struggles and obstacles than the average person. The average person’s everyday struggles might be having their computer occasionally crash, or tripping over a rock. During the Holocaust and World War 2, the Jews had much bigger troubles. Jews in Holocaust children’s books, The Book Thief, the movie Paper Clips, and The Diary of Anne Frank all had to overcome many struggles in everyday life.
During the Holocaust, six million Jews were sent to their deaths. Nevertheless, in the Holocaust literature, one can find the glimpse of joy. In 1933, in Germany, Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party created a German Empire & Jews were no place in Hitler’s vision. Love & Laughter were two of the main things that made Jews and other people forget the time happening in the Holocaust, including nature. Almost 2,700,000 Jews were sent to extermination camps such as, Treblinka and Chelmno, where they were lately killed.
"...to remain silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all..." The Holocaust killed over 6-7 million people. Jews were forced to live in specific areas of the city called ghettos after the beginning of World War ll. In the larger ghettos, up to 1,000 people a day were picked up and brought by train to concentration camps or death camps. Elie Wiesel was a survivor in the Holocaust.
To begin, about 3 million Jew were killed during the Holocaust. The gas chambers didn't always kill the Jews. The soldiers tore families apart if parents held onto their children to protect them. They had to get undressed in front of each other at the concentration camps. They were dehumanized by how badly they were treated.
Millions of Jews died during the Holocaust and had to find strength within themselves to survive. During the Holocaust, Hitler made the final solution that affected Elie and his family, just because they were Jewish. Over 6 million Jews were affected or killed by the Holocaust which ended up making millions of Jews who survived have depression, anxiety, and many other problems they had to overcome because of the Holocaust. Jews that were in concentration camps were considered not human because of their religion and were faced with never-ending horror. Holocaust survivors faced horrific events and had to overcome them by having bravery and strength to persevere through the Holocaust.
From 1941-1945, during World War II Jews were systematically massacred in Nazi Germany that was led by Adolf Hitler. Historical records estimated that over 6 million Jews were killed from concentration camps in the most degrading and inhuman manner. The gruesome death of Jews left many survivors to experience severe trauma to date. Intergenerational trauma has been evidenced through various studies and through accounts of eye witnesses. The holocaust had and continues to have a deep effect on the children of the survivors.
This is not to say that they did not feel the effects of the war. It is now important for people to understand the consequences of the Holocaust. The Holocaust is very important to remember. Taking the accounts for those who have survived the abuse of concentrations camps, is the best way to get an idea of the severity of the time.
The Holocaust was an immoral machination orchestrated by the Nazi’s to eliminate any person who did not meet their criteria of a human. Millions were interned in camps all around Europe. Each person who survived the Holocaust has a different story. Within Elie Wiesel’s Night (2006) and the movie “Life is Beautiful” (2000) two different perspectives on the Holocaust are presented to audiences both however deal with the analogous subjects faced by prisoners. Inside both works you can find the general mood of sadness.
There are many events in history but Holocaust left a permanent scar on the face of history. The event soaked in blood and tears of innocent would be unforgettable. Holocaust also known as Shoah (in Hebrew) was a genocide that took lives of millions of people from different backgrounds. Approximately 1 million Gypises were killed, 1.5 million mentally and physically handicapped people were victims of T-4 program, but Jews where the primary victims and 6 million Jews died in holocaust (Neiwyk and Nicosia). The Holocaust took place between 1933-1945.
Fight For Survival There have been many defining moments in history that highlight the brutality that people inflict on one another. One of these moments was the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a horrific event that affected many Jewish families in the 1930s and 1940s. This event is still talked about to this day and continues to be shocking to many people because of the level of cruelty people endured throughout it. In his autobiography, Eliezer, a young Jewish boy who was a victim of the Holocaust, illustrates his personal experience in concentration camps.
The Holocaust was one of the most devastating times for all of the world. It strained the world’s economy and resources; death tolls were tremendously high and injuries were severe. This was one of the worst events in our world’s history. For the 12 years that Germany was ruled by the Nazi Party, a central belief was that there existed in society, certain people who were dangerous and needed to be eliminated for German society to flourish and survive (Impact of the Holocaust).
The Holocaust affected everyone. Not one single life went through the atrocities untouched. Today, the effects are still being felt. As one of my classmates once
