The Jews may have suffered the most, but the damages were felt across nations. Jews from Germany were not the only ones captured by German soldiers. At the Stutthof camp, Kibort encountered women from Hungry, Czechoslovakia, and Belgium from all over Europe (256). The Russians are the ones who ultimately saved Hinda Kibort. According to Bankhalter many born in America have a harder time fulling understanding and relating to the Holocaust (254).

People can best respond to conflict by fighting by active resistance because to avoid later shame, show defiance, and die in your own way. When the war is over why should you live the rest of your life in shame, guilt, and humiliation? In the “Violence of Hope” Assi Bielski’s “father was a Jewish resistance fighter” (14). Her family happily talks about the war with no humiliation as she goes on saying, “it’s the number tattooed on your arm that is a constant reminder of the humiliation. For us, there was none of it” (16).

Describe and Explain the Balfour Declaration The Balfour Declaration was letter dated 2nd of November 1917 from the United Kingdom 's Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour to Lord Walter Rothschild, the leader of the British Jewish Community. This letter expressed the British government’s support for a Jewish homeland in Palestine. The letter expressed that it would bring about “a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine.”

Some people may call him crazy, but I think he is very brave for fighting for the lives of Jews and other people that were being put in those camps. “The younger brother of Hermann Goering is being considered for an honor given to those who saved the lives of Jews during the Holocaust.” He is so amazing that he was nominated and given an award for saving all of those lives, he may not be alive today, but he will be remembered for all of the things he did for all of those people. After the war, many lives were permanently changed, some scarred. Albert had a beautiful wife, named Mila, and they had a child, name unknown, but they were divorced after the war.

An individual’s right to act and speak according to their own unique perspectives is invaluable and an existing privilege in any given developed nation. To withhold a citizen’s first amendment rights is to defy our democratic government and defile the very foundation this nation was built upon. It is important to raise and teach children to be open minded and tolerant of other peers, no matter how different they may be. It is vital that students are allowed to carry out their religion as they wish, and even if this means sacrificing class time, their devotion and creed takes priority to missing a few out of 180

Night vs. Run Boy Run Many stories of the terrors of World War Two and the Holocaust have been told. Some are made up, but the most powerful are the true stories of survival. Two of the most captivating of those stories are Night by Elie Wiesel and Run Boy Run directed by Pepe Danquart. Night is the memoir of a young Jewish boy in Hungary.

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.

“There 's hope a great man 's memory may outlive his life half a years”William Shakespeare In the book Night Elie Wiesel wrote about his experiences during the holocaust. Elie had hope to live long so he could forget the bad years of the Holocaust and still have hope that there is good in this world. During the 1940s the Holocaust took millions of innocents lives and many of those lives were Jews. Elie Wiesel believed that the reason he survive was to tell his story and make sure that memories of the Holocaust stays memories. Jews were hunted down, they were beating, and kill.

The American troops in 1945 liberated many Jews (Steele 64). Also in 1945 the United States, Canada, and Britain liberated many others. These troops were very brave to go and liberate all the Jews that they possibly could (Steele 66). The liberation took place in 1945 (Steele 66).

Eliezer Wiesel’s eye-opening memoir shares his experiences during the Holocaust and provides the reader a real life picture of the hardship endured by the Jews. Wiesel’s memoir vehemently aims at never letting people forget what happened in the Holocaust and to fight

When asking anyone what the Holocaust is, there is a very standard answer as to what it was. It is infamously known as the mass killings and imprisonment of Jewish people throughout most of Western Europe. What people fail to acknowledge is that there is more to the Holocaust than this “standard answer.” There have been multiple accounts of what it was like to be in the Holocaust such as the famous books The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank and Night by Elie Wiesel. The memoir A Lucky Child: A Memoir of Surviving Auschwitz as a Young Boy by Thomas Buergenthal serves the same purpose as any text about this atrocity has served: to inform the public about what truly went on in the concentration camps and beyond.

From the beginning, Elie Wiesel 's work details the beginning of his adult life by focussing on his awareness of Judaism, its history, and its significance to the religion. Despite warnings about German intentions towards Jews, Eliezer’s family and the other Jews in the small town of Sighet, fail to escape the country when they have a chance. As a result, the Jewish population is sent to concentration camps all throughout Germany. Then, after being sent to a concentration camp, Eliezer is separated from his mother and younger sister, but remains with his father. The camp then pushing Eliezer and his father 's faith in the Jewish religion.

It just so happens that Elie Wiesel was one of the strongest survivors. So, what was Wiesel trying to prove? Well, he insisted on sharing what he went through and explained the vast loss of faith he suffered from due to the concentration camps. In Night, Elie Wiesel uses characterization, imagery, and tone to show the emotion and detail of his experience in such a tragic event. Elie Wiesel asserts characterization in the book Night by really giving details about each individual that was urgent at this time.

“The Unrecognized” In order to better understand the Holocaust, one needs to be familiar with the definition. The Holocaust embodies the systematic slaughter of approximately six million Jewish men, women, and children, in addition to millions of others, by the Nazis during WWll. Furthermore, the origin of the word is rooted in the Greek/Hebrew term for a burnt sacrifice given to God. The ultimate horror of the Holocaust happened in the death camps as bodies were burned whole in the crematoria ( Benerbaum ).

“American Jews in World War Two” from YouTube, discusses how some Jews living in America felt obligated to join the war and fight against the Nazi’s, and also how the antisemitism present in America was left there. The video also discusses how women in America were greatly affected by the war because they had to do the jobs that men usually had to do back home. One specific quote from a Jewish Veteran stuck out to me, he said “All the antisemitism we left in England, all we knew was you’re wearing the same colored suit and you’re firing in the same direction” (Roeth 0:47). This was particularly impactful because when you can see the person talking you feel like you understand and relate to them more, it makes this quote mean much more. Although, this also raises the question of whether or not Jews were treated similarly in England and America.
