The Holocaust: Other Victims Of The Holocaust

Those Nazis involved in the killing received the most severe sentences, but those with a key role in the Holocaust received short prison sentences or no penalty at all. The Holocaust is a huge major part in the world history. About the total number of people that died in the Holocaust are 861,912,000. The population of the world in the 1930’s was about 2 billion. The Holocaust is known as the worst mass murder ever in

The final solution may didn’t get brought up much or even seemed important, but really it was the columns to the Nazis house. In other words, without the idea of the final solution the Nazis would’ve never had a motive. Maybe could’ve even prevented the war. But they did have the idea and with that idea came the deaths of many. In total, german authorities and their collaborators killed up to six million Jews.

We feel that the Holocaust is a horrifying event in human history because so many people died. The Holocaust is important because it allows us to see how terrifying it was and to make sure that something similar to it will not happen again. It is also important because we want to remember all the victims of it. Even before Hitler’s rise to

Racial anti-Semitism and Religious anti-Semitism both greatly affected the Jews in different way because it lead to Jews being excluded from society and being hated by many. Religious anti-Semitism was based off of Medieval anti-Semitism which came to be because the Jews were blamed for the killing of Jesus because they did not accept him as their leader. This lead to persecution and exclusion of Jews from society by expulsions and confinement. In theory, if a jew was willing to give up Judaism as their religion and convert to Christianity, then they would be welcomed by the French and not seen any different. Meaning, they would no longer be persecuted or hated.

Who could have thought that the victims were most responsible for the Holocaust? After all, they were the targets of this abominable act; 6 million Jews, 9-18 million Soviets, 1.8 million Poles, and more groups with fewer casualties. This book, Night, is a memoir about a Jewish prisoner that goes by the name of Elie Wisel that survived this ordeal. After all, they had many opportunities to escape, repeal, or act. The people who chose not to do anything till it was too late are responsible for the Holocaust.

Taking the lives of 6 million Jews alone, the Holocaust is one of , if not the, greatest tragedies in history. It is completely deranged that at one point in time, millions of people stood by and supported Adolf Hitler. Adolf was a man who stored so much hatred towards Jews, homosexuals, Gypsies, etc., that he found it acceptable to kill them through mass shootings, gassings, and Nazi camps. Other times called ‘concentration camps,’ the mere idea of Nazi camps was purely wicked. Disease, forced labor, starvation, and murder are only a few things that were incorporated into these camps.

He set up killing centers to quickly kill as many Jews as possible. 3 million people were killed in the killing centers alone. The first killing center was set up in Chelmno in December of 1941, but the largest one was Auschwitz (Killing Centers). Auschwitz was located right outside of the town Krakow. 1.3 million people died at Auschwitz, 1,095,000 of those being Jews.

May 7th, 1945, was the day that the Nazi’s surrendered. The last Nazi camp closed in 1957. When the Soviet forces liberated the prisoners, many of them were suffering from decease and starvation. The Soviet Union found thousands of women’s clothing and 14,000 pounds of human hair. Many of the surviving prisoners barely moved because they were so weak.

Prisoners in the concentrations camps stayed and slept in the brick or wooden barracks (http://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org). The barracks were in bad shape and didn’t give them good shelter. Concluding Paragraph The holocaust is one of the most memorable things that happened in history. It is one of the largest killings or genocides in history. About 6 million jews and many more people died.

The Vietnam War was also known as the Second Indochina War. More than three million people including 58,000 Americans were killed. It was a very long a costly war (like most). The Vietnam began in 1954 and lasted until 1975 when President Nixon ordered the withdrawal of our U.S. forces. The North Vietnamese government and the Viet

The Holocaust: The widely known event that is the genocide of the Jewish people. It caused the deaths of an estimated 6 million Jews. The Jewish people even call it Shoah, meaning “The Catastrophe”. Hitler used many of his men to carry out the Holocaust, and many resources to build the concentration camps that the Jewish people and many other unfortunate souls would be shipped off to. Instead of committing genocide, Hitler could have used the soldiers and resources used in the Holocaust in the war.

Hitler made the military decisions for his country during the war, but he is perhaps most known for his role in the Holocaust. The Holocaust was "the systematic murder of 6 million Jews across Europe (Danzer et al. 542)." At first, Jewish people were restricted of their liberties through the Nuremberg Laws ("Holocaust Timeline"). After forcing many Jews to leave, only around 250,000 Jewish people remained in Germany; therefore, Hitler executed his Final Solution, which was "a policy of genocide, the deliberate and systematic murder of an entire population (Danzer et al.

“We had forgotten everything- death, fatigue, our natural needs. Stronger than cold or hunger, stronger than the shots and the desire to die… We were the only men on Earth.” These powerful words of Elie Wiesel were used to describe the suffering of a Jewish person during the Holocaust and similar accounts to this abound throughout its story. Arguably the most widely known genocide in history, the Holocaust was the mass murder of over 6 million European Jews (and also gypsies, and other people deemed “undesirable”) in concentration camps by the German Nazis from 1941-1945. It is a narrative of a human injustice at the hands of a government, but it is also one of resilience and the refusal to be silenced. Historians have pieced together the
