382 Words2 Pages

3,546,211 people endured the Holocaust almost 100 years ago. Reinhold Hanning had been just one of the Nazi’s guarding one of the concentration camps.

No evidence has been found to backup the claim that he had actually murdered someone along with that he had no choice. Hanning had only been eighteen when he became a Nazi and was only following his country. In late June Hanning was summoned to a court because he was one of the last Nazi’s to still be living. Anke Grudda, the judge, believes that he is responsible for his role in murdering 170,000 people. “You were part of a criminal organization and took part in criminal activity

  • Summary Of All But My Life By Gerda Weissmann Klein

    554 Words  | 3 Pages

    Weissmann Klein’s experience of the Holocaust was influenced by many factors, some long-standing, including racism, gender, history, and even economics. Not detailed in Weissmann Klein’s memoir were the earliest of the Nazi laws and ideals, which eventually led to the development of the Holocaust, and her experiences up to that point. Even before Hitler was made sole ruler of Germany, “the new Nazi government initiated a two day boycott of Jewish businesses” (Spielvogel, 832). A series of laws followed soon after which excluded those of non-Aryan descent “from the legal profession, civil service, judgeships, the medical profession, teaching positions, cultural and entertainment enterprises and the press” (Spielvogel, 832). The Nuremberg Laws in 1935 took citizenship from German born Jews and outlawed relationships between German Citizens and the

    “No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior. All collective judgments are wrong. Only racists make them” (Wiesel). The atrocities of the Holocaust were horrible and grotesque, and even today people continue to wonder with pessimistic awe what the persecuted people of the Holocaust era had to endure. We all try and “put ourselves in survivors’ shoes” as a way of showing sympathy and kindness, but in reality, we can’t do that.

  • Why Is The Holocaust Unique

    322 Words  | 2 Pages

    Years after the Holocaust, historians are still engaged in debates so as to determine whether or not the Holocaust was unique and thus a number of perspectives have emerged in order to answer this question. For example, according to Rosenfeld (1999), historians who believe that the Holocaust is not unique such as Stannard , hold this view because they believe that the Holocaust, whilst horrific, was not the only instance of racially based mass killing and thus claiming that it is unique moves focus away from other genocides such as the murder of Native Americans by early colonisers . It has also been argued that the Holocaust was not unique because, whilst millions of Jews were killed, some Jews were intentionally left unharmed, even though

  • Empathy In Jewish People

    863 Words  | 4 Pages

    Wracked with terrorism, climate change, poverty, and a plethora of social justice issues such as racism, sexism, and heteronormativity, our world today is desperately in need of more empathy. A person is empathetic if they are able to vicariously experience another’s thoughts or emotions; empathy gives a person the ability to identify with a situation without having to experience it first hand. Genocide is, typically, what first comes to mind when one ponders the history of Jewish people. Residing in the historically Jewish district of Paris, however, is a museum dedicated not to the trials and suffering of the Jews, but instead to their art and history; it is a place that celebrates what it means to be Jewish rather than highlighting their past tragedies. Dedicating monuments or museums to horrific events or oppressed groups of people can make people more empathetic by giving them a background to identify with, or a face to match to a name.

  • Emmanuel Levinas Useless Suffering Analysis

    808 Words  | 4 Pages

    He writes, "this is the century that in has known two world wars, the totalitarianisms of right and left, Hitlerism and Stalism, Hiroshima, the Gulag, and the genocides of Auschwitz and Cambodia" (377). Without knowing anything about these evil times, it is evident that evil was present throughout the whole century, and such evilness cannot be justified. Levinas becomes more specific and talks about the Holocaust, in which six million Jews were murdered for no reason. As explained by Emil Fackenheim, a Jewish philosopher, the Holocaust is the perfect event to explain that suffering cannot be justified, because unlike any other genocide, the Jews were killed only for the sake of being killed. In other genocides, repressions, and evil events, people were killed for a reason.

  • International Holocaust Remembrance Day Summary

    The International Holocaust Remembrance Day was on January 27 but the article did not only recite the mention of the day, it also included a tribute about the 300,000 people who had been either disabled or ill that were killed under the Nazis’ “euthanasia” program. Many people during the 1940s or even today know nothing about the forgotten victims before the Holocaust. The euthanasia program was used for people that were considered “not worth saving.” The article even mentions that because of the “success” of the euthanasia program many believe it to be considered the trial run for the Holocaust. Through the killings, the Nazi’s learned and developed quicker and cheaper ways to kill people, ultimately making it much easier for the Holocaust to come to light.
