When people hear the word “Holocaust” they instantly think about how cruel and horrible this time was for the Jewish people. The Holocaust was a time where many of people suffered, were terrified, and had to live in disgusting conditions. The jewish people were put into concentration camps where they were forced to work and in the end most of them died, but if they were lucky were able to escape or lived long enough to be freed. In the very beginning, Adolf Hitler’s Nazis separated these people from their families to be placed into different concentration camps which is upsetting to think about. The biggest concentration camp where most of the Jews went and were killed was Auschwitz. The Jewish were put through a time of unfairness and had no say on how they could live their lives during this time period.
To begin with, the Nazis set up many concentration camps to murder a mass number of Jews that stayed there. “ the Nazis administered a massive system of more than 40,000 camps that stretched across Europe from the French-Spanish border into the conquered Soviet territories, and as far south as Greece and North Africa” (Daily Life..). Some of the major camps were Auschwitz, Belzec, Bergen-Belsen, and Buchenwald. These camps were dirty, dull, lifeless, and freezing cold especially

The Jews went through many harsh events at the concentration camps that they were forced to go to. The concentration camps were extremely tortuous for these people. The living conditions were unbearable and the forced work was tremendously exhausting for them. They were starved to death and also killed in the gas chambers if they weren 't good enough. No one should ever go through this horrible pain in their lives. A great number of Jews were able to luckily escape and made it out alive. Cleary, life for the Jews during this time was difficult and is nothing anyone wants to ever experience throughout
The people, lived in ghettos and also were transported to concentration camps, where they died from gas chambers, forced labor, etc,. It was a hard time in life for people in Germany. There were many Non- Jewish victims in the holocaust in Germany. Those Non- Jewish people consisted of: African Americans, Gypsies, Homosexuals, and countless more Non- Jewish people in the Holocaust. They were treated like the Jewish people also.
The holocaust was one of the worst genocides that has happened to one race in the last 100 years it lead to the deaths of 6 million to 17 million jews. There are not that many people still alive that got saved for it because of the exprempit they were put through the time they were in the camps dieing. One of many ways the nazis killed so many jews was gas chambers and pizza type ovens they had mounds of people from the gas chambers piled up in the millions. When they got saved they had to did massov graves and use a bulldozer to get all the bodys in to the grave. In the book Night by Elie Wiesel there are many instes of dehumanizing for example they had to be put in to the cattle cars.
Most jews though were killed. If you were a jew you would go to a concentration camp to be killed. This was a very sad time in the people's lives and they could not do anything about it. The holocaust impacts our lives today for many reasons.
Imagine being stripped of everything in life-one’s home, family, friends, and wealth-and being forced into a labor. The prisoner toils for what seems like months-years even, but it is all futile in the end. This is what the Jews imprisoned in the Holocaust felt. The Holocaust was the organized and systemic killing of Jews by the Nazi regime from 1933 to 1945. Millions of Jews were taken from their homes and forced into concentration camps, where they were forced to work and later murdered in cold blood.
But this was only a small fraction of their troubles. Soon walls were built around the area, and the true horrors began. During their days in the ghetto the jews had to deal with finding food to eat, finding a way to be useful and help their families, and if they were taking classes, which were done in secret, to be careful and hide their books from the germans. The jews were also sent to camps, where they were worked to death, shot to death, and starved to death. Their items were stolen, and they couldn 't do anything about it.
Millions of Jewish people were murdered in concentration camps by the Dictator of Germany. Adolf Hitler. This horrible event happened between the times 1933 and 1945. During this people experienced lots of hardships such as death, torture, isolation, beatings, and starvation. Even through these hardships the way people found strength to endure the Holocaust.
There is no doubt about the fact that the Holocaust was a horrible time, but just how bad was life in the case of Jewish men, women, and even children. Life as they knew it changed forever during World War II. They were treated as extremely low class citizens. Just being alive was torture to them as the Nazis made their lives and every aspect of them into a living nightmare. Almost every situation relates back to the basics of life food, money, and a job.
The Holocaust did not just impact survivors in that moment but it affected them for the rest of their life. Survivors remember memories and flashbacks that bring them back to that experience. Survivors did not only have mental damage but some physical damages that can take them back in time to that dark place. They faced starvation. They were dying.
The holocaust and the nigerian genocide were both bad genocides. The Holocaust and the Nigerian genocide both involved a lot of hatred, but how the victims were treated, the areas of the world that were impacted, and the goals of the perpetrators were different. The holocaust was a very bad time for jewish people. Jewish people during the holocaust were treated badly and they were relocated and starved and even killed just for fun.
Everyone who has learned about World War II should know about the Holocaust. The Holocaust was during the same period of World War II. “What is it called the Holocaust?” you may ask. The Holocaust originates from the Greek language and means “completely burnt offering to God.”
Starting off, there was a lot of resistance going around that helped in some cases and didn’t in others. Some people, that weren’t Jewish, were completely against the concentration camps and how the Nazis were treating them. They would show examples of resistance by taking in Jews to their homes and hiding them before being sent to the ghettos. That way they wouldn’t have to make it to the concentration camps. The Jews that were already imprisoned, resisted by stealing guards’ weapons and attacking guards like they do to them.
It is estimated around 6 million Jews died during the Holocaust, each death leaving a scar on modern history, each death showing the monsters we all can be to our own people, or just revealing the monsters we truly are. Harsh changes were put on the Jews from the loss of basic human rights like freedom to the loss of lives. This inhumane treatment was done by their own kind, no sympathy, no empathy,
The Jewish did not have a choice whether they lived or not, if they were not healthy the German SS officers would kill them. Through the Holocaust the Jewish were faced with persecution of antisemitism relying on the choiceless choices they made to survive.
This was such a tragic time in history and we should all be thankful that our world isn 't like this. The Concentration Camps were made because Hitler hated the jews and wanted to kill all and they were kind of brainwashing them to tell them it is a wonderful place to live. When they were making the camps the Nazis would go around just shooting people for no reason. So Hitler and the Nazis captured the majority of the Jews and put them into these camps saying they should be here and that they deserve to died and it is all their fault.
The Holocaust was a horrific tragedy which started in January of 1933 and ended in May of 1945, the Holocaust was the mass murder of millions of people. The word was derived from the Greek word that meant Sacrifice to the Gods (Steele 7), also called the Shoan which is the Hebrew word for catastrophe (Steele 7). So many countries took place in this 12-year genocide, including, “Germany, Italy, Japan, Romania, Hungary, and Bulgaria, which were also known as the Axis Powers” (Steele 34). But, although there were all those countries they were all part of one larger group called the Nazis, were the ones who were killing all the different denominations of people. (Bachrach 58).
