The holocaust took place during WWII. At this time the chancellor of Germany know as Adolf Hitler had ordered a crusade against the jewish race. In this time period over 6 million jewish people including men women and children. Families were stripped from their homes with nearly all of their possessions removed from them. After first entering the gates they weren't even allowed the cloths off their backs.
What Happened in the Concentration Camps During the holocaust they had concentration camps. Read this paper to learn about the concentration camps. The things that happened in the concentration camps were inhuman such as gassing people, forcing labor, and putting them in with fleas and lice. On of the things they did in the concentration camps were gassing the Jews as a way to kill them.
The Holocaust is also a time in history when millions of people were persecuted in Europe by being sent to live in ghettos and eventually being deported to concentration camps where they were systematically annihilated until the Allied forces liberated the remaining survivors. The Nazis forced Jews into the ghettos to separate them from the rest of the population (“Ushmm Ghettos”). Adolf Hitler was in charge at the time and created three different types of ghettos for different type of treatments and torture (“Ushmm Ghettos”). The three types were closed ghettos, open ghettos, and destruction ghettos.
After being named Chancellor, Hitler began what is known as the Holocaust. The Holocaust started on January 30, 1933 and lasted until May 8, 1945. The Holocaust was the mass murder of 6 million Jews (1.5 million of them being children). The Germans started burning the books that the Jews had written, removing Jews from their occupations and their schools, and taking their businesses and properties(An Introductory History of the Holocaust-Jewish Virtual Library). The Jews were forced from their houses to go to live in ghettos away from all society(An Introductory History of the Holocaust-Jewish Virtual Library).
The novel is told from the perspective of Death, as if Death itself was a character and it’s telling us the story. Death shows how the Jews are oppressed mainly through the description of the character Max Vandenburg. “Max trapped in a basement” and doesn 't know how the outside world is like, indicates that Jews were in serious danger, Torture and death were the severe punishments that occurred during the Holocaust era. The repetition used in the quote “one more stab to the heart, one more reason to hate, one less reason to live”, emphasises that Elie couldn’t take it any more, the fact that his ill father was getting beaten by the Germans. Through Death 's perspective, the issue of death and oppression is seen through the Nazi government, killing and torturing the
Auschwitz, located in south Poland. Originally, Auschwitz served as a detention center for political prisoners, but this place evolved into networks of camps where Nazis exterminated Jewish people, along with others that were labeled as enemies
Concentration camps were human recycling factories. Nazi soldiers would kill Jews by the masses and dispose of the bodies without a second thought. Women, children and families were gassed and burned without any regard for the fact they were human beings. Records show
Night: Dehumanization “He was so terrible that he was no longer terrible. Only dehumanized” (F. Scott Fitzgerald). Jews were treated so badly that they began to act terribly but eventually they reached the point beyond repair and it was all due to dehumanization. The Holocaust took place in WW2, it was a horrific event that killed millions of Jews. Many Jews were taken from their homes and were killed, or were treated less than animals until death of starvation or exhaustion.
Throughout the tragic times of the Holocaust, in an attempt to excuse their actions, the Nazis dehumanized the Jews. This was a crucial factor in the Jews losing their innocence in Auschwitz. In Night the Nazis treated Elie, his father and his fellow Jews more as ‘things’ than people. The Jews were worked to death, and killed as if
The primary purpose of these camps was the methodical killing of millions of innocent people. The concentration camps were administered since 1934 by Concentration Camps Inspectorate which in 1942 was merged into SS-Wirtschafts-Verwaltungshauptamt and were guarded by SS-Totenkopfverbände (SS-TV). The first concentration camp first erected in Germany by the Nazi party and Hitler when he was announced and or
The holocaust resulted in the slaughter killed 5 million Jews and Jew and thousands of others suffering in death camps where they were experimented on and tortured. Innocent people 's lives were lost and ruin. The effect of this monstrosity devastated these people 's lives they watched as Nazi raped and killed their children. The final solution is the Nazi plan to extinguish all of the Jewish. The Nazis established ghettos in poland, Polish and Western European Jews were all taken to Ghettos.
Concentration Camps “ Researchers found out that the Nazi’s had actually established about 20,000 camps between 1933 and 1945.” These camps were made to harm, kill, and force hard labor on the Jews. Concentration camps were mainly for the Jews to be put through harsh labor that caused many to die. The Jews were put into these camps because Hitler and the Nazi’s did not believe Jews belonged here on earth and that they only caused trouble. The Jew was mistreated and killed.
Nazi concentration camps and Japanese internment camps aren’t the same because of how they got treated in the camps. First, in concentration camps, Jews were starved. Nazi camps starved the Jews until they were considered “human skeletons” and could not even walk. Second, some Jews had to fall from great heights for a job. A job for Jews was sometimes to fall from high places so the SS could see how high somebody could be dropped until they broke a bone.
The holocaust was systematic and consisted of a plan called: “The Final Solution”, which was a detailed plan to exterminate all the Jews in Europe. The “Final solution” was implemented in stages. After the Nazi rise to power, Nazi forced racism, boycotts of Jewish prisoners and anti Jewish laws created a separation between the Jews and the “Ariyan” majority of Germany. The Nazis built ghettos to house the Jews until they were ready to begin with the killing.
Similar to the actual collapse of the ghetto, both reveal the suffering of the Jews and the punishments
