In the eleven documents we’ve viewed, its easy to see that the Germans have taken away basic human rights of the Jewish people. They've abused and practically tortured these poor Jewish people. Not to mention, the Jewish people have done nothing wrong to the Germans or Hitler, they just blamed them for the hyperinflation. Lastly, These Jewish people have a right to live their lives to the fullest and to the best of their ability and the Germans ripped that away from them. And once again, they did nothing wrong. In document eleven, the German soldiers forced a man to stand for hours on end. If he moved he most likely would have been shot by a German guard considering how tight security was. This is inhumane and wrong. This poor man most likely would have been shot if he moved. In document nine, you can clearly see that the children have been through pain. Their faces dirty and their eyes sad. These kids are so young and because of the Nazis, they will suffer even more throughout their lives. These children will grow up being bullied, starved, and tortured. In document five, you can see how in the ghetto, life was atrocious. They only allowed residents three hundred calories a day, basically nothing. This is inhumane and terrible. …show more content…
In document ten, it states that they took Anne Frank out of school, who’s to say they didn't take out other students as well? Causing them to fall behind in school, leaves them clueless in the real world. This damages their education causing the poor innocent students to fall behind. We can return to document nine, where poor innocent Jewish children appear to be dirty and hurt. These Germans have hurt these children. and they've most likely been bullied at school haven't eaten enough. On document six, it states that they would gas women 20 - 30 at a time. These Jewish women did nothing wrong to the Germans, and they kill them. This is not right and extremely
The evidence in the passage that supports the disasters in the ghetto are, “Rage at the Nazis burned inside Ben as conditions in the ghetto became increasingly deplorable. One day, a policeman drove through the streets with a smile on his face, firing his gun. He killed a pregnant woman. An epidemic of typhus swept through the crowded apartments, killing thousands. Bodie piled up in the streets.
The Jews were taken by surprise. They had a false sense of security on what was happening. In document B paragraph 2 its states “ That They were brought into the ghetto and were much better fed than we were”. This created a false sense of security because there treating them better than the outside world. In document B it says “they had more supplies and Jewish police.
Once the Germans omitted the inferiors from their safe haven, the superiors destroyed articles nine: freedom from containment and
What do you think it was like to live in the Holocaust as a Jew? The memoir “Night” by Elie Wiesel describes how the Jews were mistreated by the Nazi’s and transported into cattle cars into concentration camps. The Holocaust is responsible for 6 million deaths and the pain is still felt to this day. The S.S. officers dehumanized the Jews by abusing and treating them as animals, making conditions unbearable in the concentration camps, and by making transportation nearly impossible to live through.
“An infinitely long train, composed of cattle wagons, with no roofs. The SS pushed us in, a hundred to a carriage, we were so thin” (Wiesel 92). Thus, the Jews are put into cattle wagons where those animals are supposed to be put in, which reveals the SS treat the Jews as unfairly as subhuman. In general, those Jews treat others inhumanity because they are treated unfairly as subhuman so they thought they don’t need to act as humans
In Night one of the ways that the Jews were dehumanized was by abuse. There were beatings, “I never felt anything except the lashes of the whip... Only the first really hurt.” (Wiesel, 57) “They were forced to dig huge trenches. When they had finished their work, the men from the Gestapo began theirs.
In many ways, Nazis had physically, mentally, and emotionally dehumanized their victims. The Jews were treated so badly by the Nazis that they felt as if they weren’t even humans; they felt like animals. For example, the Jewish prisoners were always being yelled at with harsh tones. Eliezer only remembers one time when a Polish
The German officer shouted, “There are eighty of you in the car, if anyone goes missing, you will all be shot, like dogs” (Wiesel 24). This shows that the Germans thought nothing of them. Instead the Germans compared the Jews to being like “dogs”, which showed that the Germans thought Jews were not worthy of being treated like a human. In conclusion, in World War II, the Jews were dehumanized because of their beliefs, they were treated as unworthy objects that are a burden to
They wouldn’t even have to be hiding from the Germans, if they weren't Jewish. This again, is an example of the evil treating people badly based on their
Many Germans, during WWII had started to take on the ideology of Hitler – that Jewish citizens in Germany were the cause of their poverty and misfortune. Of course, many knew that this was merely a form of scapegoating, and although they disagreed with the majority of Germany’s citizens, many would not speak up for fear of isolation (Boone,
These people, these children never did anything wrong, but they never did anything extraordinary either. They just had no skills to offer so the Germans did not think that they needed to live life, a decent human life. It is just that the Jews were not seen as humans so ending their lives was an easy task. At one point the book even mentions children being dumped from train cars into the flames, almost like a bad supply of food or some product. These prisoners were killed in a ravage way in front of so many other people, and a human should never have to go through that which is one way dehumanization was
But they also tortured them trying to dehumanize the Jews making them feel useless. In “Night” by Elie Wiesel, there was many examples of the Nazis dehumanized the Jews. When the Jews were leaving the Ghettos they were heading to the synagogue where they heading to the camps. Before they headed to the camps, the Nazis took over everything the Jews had. The even destroyed building that Jews associated such as stores owned by Jews and Synagogues.
“An infinitely long train, composed of cattle wagons, with no roofs. The SS pushed us in, a hundred to a carriage, we were so thin” (Wiesel 92). This shows the Jews were put into cattle wagons where the animals were supposed to be put in, which shows the SS treated the Jews as subhumans and unfairly. In general, those Jews treat others inhumanly because they are treated unfairly as subhumans so they thought they don’t need to act as humans
In the book Night by Ellie Wiesel there are many words that can describe the horrible events that went on during the Holocaust. There was a tremendous amount of evil that the Germans displayed during this time period. One of the most soul opening quotes from Ellie was, “Yes, I did see this, with my own eyes … children thrown into the flames" (Wiesel 51). The people in this book that committed these crimes were always so corrupt. It is extremely wrong to kill any person, but it is especially wrong to kill babies that still have so much more of their life to live.
Adolf hitler set up concentration camps to work jew to death or kill them right when they got there by making them “Shower” which was a gas chamber that killed them. At any point the nazi soldiers would accuse the jews for doing something they did not do so they sent them to a camp far worse than the one there were at “Convicted of forgery, aiding the enemy and attempted escape, the sisters were sent to separate prisons. Then in December 1943 Anita was told she was being moved to Auschwitz. She was aware what that meant. “You knew about the gas chambers in Auschwitz long before one was in Auschwitz,” Anita told me.”
