Hiding and helping the Jews were something dangerous to do during the Holocaust. But some people took part in it and opened their arms out. Jewish children were to be hidden in Netherland to save themselves from Nazi deportation. Children that were sent away and sometime had their address moved from place to place were often involve in a lot of psychological problems. Hiding children or a family member was to be cost a lot due to that Jews carry a large black J toward their identity card which was a very hard thing to
The book called “Night” is a great book to read about survival of the fittest. The book was written by a man named Elie Wiesel and was about his experience during the Holocaust. His book has some interesting parts about how he and other Jews saw the Holocaust before and after they were taken to concentration camps. Before the Jews were taken to the camps, they thought that since the war was so far away and was going to end soon, they were safe. That soon changed because they had the chance to run and hide, but did not take it.
James Hillstrom 2/2/23 LA8 accel The Heroes of the Holocaust During the Holocaust, an estimated 26,000 people hid Jews in their basements, attics, and anywhere in between. In the Book Thief and in the chapter “The Secret Room” in the novel The Hiding Place by Corrie ten Boom many people risked their lives to help the Jews. Nazi Germany was a very dark and horrific place during the Holocaust. There, Germans had all the power and Jews were treated inhumanely. Many of them could not even show their faces or they would be punished.
The Nazi regime killed about six million jews during the holocaust. During the 1940s German authorities targeted Jew and many other people, they would be put in death camps and forced to do hard labored. The atrocities the Jewish people had to face was terrifying. Going day after day not knowing if you will be the one selected to die;having your love ones die and suffer. Doing hard labor and very little food.
This made it really hard for them to really fight back because most of them were poor and could not afford weapons like guns or knives ( Hass). Since the Jews had no power over The Nazis they were forced to do anything they wanted them to do. From 1933 to 1945 Jews were in a tough time along with the people that were against Hitler and his group of Nazis that were out to kill the Jews. Over those twelve years, many things had happened, many lives and businesses were lost in the Holocaust. Many people moved to the United States or Israel(US Holocaust memorial) because they couldn’t stand living in Europe during the time of the Holocaust.
There is no doubt about the fact that the Holocaust was a horrible time, but just how bad was life in the case of Jewish men, women, and even children. Life as they knew it changed forever during World War II. They were treated as extremely low class citizens. Just being alive was torture to them as the Nazis made their lives and every aspect of them into a living nightmare. Almost every situation relates back to the basics of life food, money, and a job.
There are so many first hand accounts of all of these things Jews went through in the holocaust. So many terrible things were happening to Jews and to any people that Hitler and the Nazis did not like. Survival was very hard for the Jews. Sometimes though, it was
More than three million Jews were killed in concentration camps during World War Two. The concentration camps were extremely brutal and people who experienced them were treated like animals. When Jewish people were thrown into concentration camps, not only had they been stripped of their basic rights, but they had been stripped of their lives as well. Everyday they would witness fellow jews dying or being killed. Anyone who ever lived in a concentration camp knew that they could have died any day.
With the war, Jews were hunted down in Germany like an animal, then thrown into concentration camps. These Jews were placed into one of the 20,000 concentration camps spread around the country, most separated from their families. While this was all occurring, a child named Elie Wiesel was placed in a concentration camp with his father,
The Nazis used Ghettos during the Holocaust to separate, persecute, and destroy European Jews. They combined into the Nazi’s long standing racial policy. The goal of ghettos established as temporary; however, they lasted for days, weeks, or years. Three types of ghettos made up the Holocaust: closed, open, and destruction.
Holocaust Reflection: Hierarchy in Concentration Camps When I think of the Holocaust, I think of constant fear, horrible genocide of innocent people, and terrible living conditions. For twelve years, people were imprisoned for their faith, political views, or where their love lied. When learning about the terrible tragedy in middle school, I was under the impression that every person held prisoner in the concentration camps was treated the same, inhumane way. However, that assumption is completely false. While exploring the provided websites, I read things that I had already learned about the Holocaust in middle school.
Jewish parents in Germany and the people in other countries put the kids in the Kindertranport and they put some of the kids in the orphanage or foster homes to save Jewish children during the Holocaust because of Hitler what he was doing to the Jewish people. When people in Britain learned about Kristallnacht, they __went to help the Germans from Hitler. The British Jewish Refugee Committee helped the kids in Germany from Hitler and many parents sent them away. This resulted in a big save. Jewish parents and children had to take a risk to send there kids away to orphanage or foster homes some didn't have homes.
Jews lost their place in society and were stripped of their choices. The loss of life was amongst the more tragic. Although a specific group of people were targeted, all people living during and after this time have felt the repercussions. Understanding how the Holocaust happened and knowing how to prevent something of its magnitude from reoccurring is the most important thing to take away form
The Holocaust was an event that had a big impact on our history. A large amount of Jews died because of the Propaganda ,Greed, Hate and Silent Majority. There was a large amount of people do nothing which is why it was called Silent
"...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.
Tons of the survivors wanted to forget this historical event, although they could not. While many consider the Holocaust in the past, for the survivors, the horror will never be completely over. Background Countless of the survivors did not think that they were going to form it through the Holocaust. Survivors thought that the process was going to be expedited and wanted it to done with. The ones that did make it through wondered why did they have made it but not the person next to them.
