Gilberto Bosques Saldivar Courage

People do not realize that some Germans played a role in rescuing Jews. One of the most courageous was Oskar Schindler. What makes Oskar Schindler such a good example? Schneider took a gamble with the Nazi Officials and it paid off in full. The gambles was with the jews, he knew what the germans were doing was wrong.

Vladek was a real person who survived the Holocaust, a terrible war in that many people died. Vladek survived by pretending to be a Pole soldier who escaped the camps(pg.64). He then told the conductor if he could hide him and take him home. He got lucky the conductor helped him, but he still used his knowledge to pretend to be a Pole. Vladek also survived by making bunkers for him and his family to hide in (pg.110).

“He was not the worthless, broken, forsaken man that the Bird had striven to make of him. In a single, silent moment, his rage, his fear, his humiliation, and helplessness, had fallen away. That morning, he believe, he was a new creation” (Hillenbrand 383). After this moment of forgiveness, Louie was able move past the horrendous events that occured at the POW camps, and forgive his tormentors. In fact, many years after the war ended, he visited prisons for the convicted Japanese criminals that held some of his previous guards from his POW camps, and forgave them.

Oskar Schindler was a great hero as part of the SS Nazi party for he saved over 1,000 jews from getting slaughtered and abused at the Jewish concentration camps. Many Jews thought of his pot making factory as a haven, a refuge for Jews. During the later years of the war around 1942, Nazi soldiers invaded the ghettos and relocated Jews to concentration camps. Schindler had saved Polish jews from the Polish concentration camp, Plaszow. At first, I viewed Oskar Schindler as just another one of those greedy CEO’s and took advantage of Jews for free labor.

Elie Wiesel’s speech, “Hope, Despair and Memory,” was given not only to accept the Nobel Peace Prize but also to commemorate the lives lost during the Holocaust. Elie Wiesel was a Jewish Holocaust survivor who devoted the remaining part of his life to preventing mass genocides like the Holocaust from happening again. After the Holocaust, Wiesel became a Professor at Boston University, but most of all, he became a humanitarian. In his lifetime, he wrote a total of about 40 books. His most popular is his memoir, “Night,” in which he wrote about his experiences during the Holocaust and his faith in God.

The film Schindler 's List stands among the most successful and noteworthy Holocaust films of the twentieth century. It portrays the moral development of one Oskar Schindler, a rising Nazi businessman, who saved roughly one thousand Jewish prisoners of the Krakow Ghetto by employing them at his factory. By heavily bribing Nazi officials and outsourcing his production, Schindler was able to his deem his Jewish workers essential to the war effort, saving them from otherwise certain death. Like all films, Schindler 's List has its strengths and weaknesses. The director 's decision to begin in full color with candles which fade into black and white not only helps the viewer enter a solemn and serious mindset, but it also minimizes distractions as to focus solely on the film 's message while the story unfolds.

This particular propaganda convinced adults and kids that jews needed to be exterminated from Germany to reach its goals. Hitler set out to rid Germany of the Slavs, Romas, gays, jews, and others that did not fit his idea so he used propaganda to convince them of it ( the rise of the nazis 60 ). Hitler’s use of propaganda did not only effect the jews and unwanted, it, according to the book Tell Them We Remember the Story of the Holocaust, “ the executioners were ‘oridinary men’ who followed the orders of their commanding officers.” “ some killers drank heavily to dull their thoughts and feelings “ (susan d. Bachrach 43). In the same book it states that they would use certain words or phrases almost like codes to make themselves feel better about what their action is going to

The Nuremberg Trials were a series of trials held over the course of eleven months in which the Allies prosecuted German military leaders and officials for the crimes they had committed during World War II. Although many people believe that the Nuremberg Trials were biased and unfair, the trials were necessary to achieve justice and punish the top Nazis for their war crimes. In the late 1930s, Adolf Hitler began to gain power in Germany. He promised to change the social and economic problems caused by Germany’s debts due to reprimand payments for their loss during World War I. By blaming the Jews for Germany’s economic crisis and their defeat in World War I, Hitler was able to target the Jews as the country’s main enemy.

It was planned at the Wannsee Conference, at meeting between the SS and the German government. Although the extermination of Jews was already going on in order to secure government support the Wannsee Conference went on. The plan of the final solution was to annihilate the Jew and anyone who opposed the Nazi rule including Gypsies and homosexuals. This was done by moving Jews from ghettos and transferring them to concentration camps. The significance of the final solution would be the responsibility it takes in the millions

“Żegota helped save some 4,000 Polish Jews by providing food, medical care, relief money and false identity documents for those hiding on the so-called "Aryan",” ( Wallach). the people who worked for the Zegota gave up their time and helped year round and had a lot of empathy towards the anyone who was persecuted by the Nazis. largest cell of Żegota (Felicja) was led by Mieczysław Herling-Grudziński, a wealthy lawyer, who hid 600 Jews”( Wallach). “Both Jews and non-Jews sheltered Jews during the Shoah,” (Tomaszewski). “Over 700 Polish heroes, unlawful death by Germans as a result of helping and sheltering their Jewish neighbors,”

He incorporated minorities along with Jews onto the team when other teams were not doing so. Tadeusz, possibly one of the Tzadikim, is one of the most righteous people to live in the recent times because of his resilient effort to help the Jews and other minorities not only during the Holocaust, but also before on the soccer

Oskar Schindler A man named Oskar Schindler actually saved more than 1,200 Jews in the Holocaust. He persuaded the Nazis to save them and transferring his workers so they don 't suffer the death camps. He is a very brave man for what he did. By 1935 a lot of Sudeten Germans joined the pro-Nazi Sudeten German Party. Schindler joined too-not for the love of Nazis, but because it made business sense for prevailing wind.

The film Schindler 's list, produced by Steven Spielberg in 1993 was based on the book "Schindler 's Ark" written by Thomas Keneally. Schindler 's List was set between 1939- 1945 in Germany during World War 2. Schindler 's list is a true story about Oskar Schindler a German businessman who saved the life 's of more than one thousand, one hundred Polish Jews during the 1940 holocaust. The following quote is used to describe the themes in the movie "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" ~Edmund Burke, this quote is relevant to Schindler 's list as it relates to the idea of everyone else in the world sitting by and doing nothing as hitler and Germany continued to invade, attack and expand its

A wartime hero during the holocaust was a man named Raoul Wallenberg. Wallenberg helped save over an estimated 100,000 people from the Nazis by issuing fake passports and housing jews. This was a pure act of humanity and compassion. Raoul didn 't care if he would be punished or killed but instead made a selfless act to help another person. There were many cases just like this one and i think it really just shows that we still have humanity.
