The Devil’s Arithmetic written by Jane Yolen more aptly delivers the message of remembering than Donna Deitches version through the scene of boxcars, the conditions of the camp, and dehumanization.

Over the years of 1933-1945 over a million people were killed due to the Holocaust and more than half of them were Jewish. January 20, 1942 there was a meeting called the Wannsee Conference held by Nazi officials and attended by government ministers to discuss the problem of the European Jews. Reinhard Heydrich, chief of the Reich Main Security Office was in charge of the meeting. Before this meeting there had been major events that occurred all over Europe causing the Jewish race to become belittled in most of Europe. Adolf Hitler preached that the Jews were not the same as them and Germany needed to remove them from their country and the surrounds areas.

Hitler’s main target was the Jews (Meltzer 16). The Holocaust is 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. Hitler considered the Jewish people an inferior race compared to his superior race (Meltzer 15-16). Jews started to be forced to move to ghettos as a second way of

“Those who want to live, let them fight, and those who do not want to fight in this world of eternal struggle do not deserve to live.” -Hitler. These words spoken by Hitler were the end of Jews.

They tried to hide what they could so they did not have to fight with the Germans, but in some cases, they had to. The Warsaw ghetto uprising was the most successful uprising in the Holocaust. “In response to the deportations, on July 28, 1942, several Jewish underground organizations created an armed self-defense unit known as the Jewish Combat Organization… German commander SS General Jurgen Stroop reported losing 12 men, killed and wounded, during the first assault on the ghetto” (Holocaust Memorial

Hitler’s idea was that the aryan race was pure and Jews, because of their appearance, were not. There were around 6 million deaths The Holocaust was a time during the 20th century that many Jews or people that judaism

They hoped that these restrictions would compel the Jews to Germany. This would make the nation Judenrein “free of Jews” One effect that this cause was that 6 million Jews were killed. More were hurt by the outcome of the Holocaust.

Murder. Murder on a mass scale happened to jews back in the Holocaust. The Holocaust happened from 1933-1945 during World War 2.

“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.

Concentration Camps Concentration Camps were used for jews, and were made by the nazis. The Holocaust began in the 1933 when Adolf Hitler came to power. Hitler did all this because he thinks that the jews were the reason why they lost WW1. In 1942 2.7 million jews were killed because of Hitler. My topic concentration camps, were horrible because how many jews died and were killed.

After the Holocaust (1930-1940’s), America underwent a drastic cultural and social change. The Holocaust, although occurred overseas sent shock waves through American culture, changing the way we lead our daily lives.

The Holocaust is one these occurrences that affected the entire world. What is the Holocaust? Why do we teach it to our children in school?

Expository Report “We must do something, we can’t let them kill us like that, like cattle in the slaughterhouse, we must revolt”. These are the words from many men surrounding Elie Wiesel as he entered Auschwitz, calling out for rebellious toward the Germans harsh conditions. Of course they had no idea what they were getting themselves into, many thought that there was nothing wrong until boarding the cattle train that would send them off to their final resting place. Life during the holocaust was torturous to say the least, so much so that some 6,000,000 lives were taken during this time in Jewish descent alone. People of the Jewish descent did not have it easy; they either were forced out of their homes into concentration camps, or they would hide out only to be found and killed of they remained in their settlements.
