Hitler's Place In The Holocaust

David Broudo was a Jew who helped destroy supply lines from the Germans that they established by blowing up bridges and trains and sabotaged them. He also smuggled munitions for resistance and hid guns in empty milk cartons (“David Broudo”). This smuggling was something many did during the Holocaust. The Holocaust started in the year of 1933 and lasted about 13 years. This dreadful event was the term for the slaughter of about six million Jews by the Nazi's controlled by Hitler.

The Holocaust was one of the worst events to ever happen to mankind. It was started by the Fuhrer of Germany, Adolf Hitler. He thought that the Aryan race was superior to every other race. He had a massive hatred for the Jewish race and decided to try and exterminate every living Jewish person. He killed around two-thirds of all the European Jews (Byers 10).

19 Nazis were found guilty, 12 were sentenced to death. 185 other Nazis were found guilty later. Trails did not include the highest ranking Nazis like Hitler, Goebbels or Himmler because they committed suicide. The Final Solution-

In retaliation to Jews for killing a German policeman in self defense on July 31, 1940 the nazis carried out a public mass execution(“Holocaust”). This day was later named “Bloody Wednesday”. They were tortured by anxiety, were insecure of the present, torn between hope and despair, and felt helpless. There were many people who were persecuted during the Holocaust that weren’t Jewish: spouses of Jews, Roma Gypsies, resisters, priests and pastor, Jehovah Witnesses, political enemies, homosexuals, the disabled, and African-German descent. Spouses of Jews had to choose between getting a divorce or being sent to concentration camps along with their Jewish Spouse.

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.

The Auschwitz concentration camp was a network of concentration and extermination camps built and operated by Nazi Germany in Poland during World War II. It consisted of Auschwitz I, II, III and fortyfive satellite camps. The camp was staffed by 7,000 members of the German Schutzstaffel. Twelve percent were later convicted of war crimes and some were executed. Auschwitz I was the original concentration camp.

The camp commander was given to Erich Deppner. Westerbork 's job or role as a transit camp was to start deportation in the east, which meant that every Tuesday a deportation train came. Westerbork transported the prisoners to the most

Gaunt Faces and physically and mentally exhausted bodies plagued the majority of the Jewish- German population from 1933 to 1945. As gruesome as the Holocaust was it was a major turning point in not only German but global history. The culprit? Adolf Hitler and his handful of dysfunctional political accomplices.

During World War II, Hitler and his Nazi Party exterminated many groups of people throughout all of Europe in different concentration camps. One of the most famous concentration camps was Auschwitz. This is where he deported over a million people between 1940 and 1945, ranging from Jews, Poles, Soviet soldiers, Gypsies, homosexuals, etc. and killing about 1.3 of the 1.5 million. About 90% of the people Hitler targeted were Jews. Hitler’s way of rule was inhumane in many different ways.

The Heros of the Holocaust: The Righteous Among Nations Although the German race as a whole is often blamed for the Holocaust, some Jewish citizens may have not been able to survive without their non-Jewish neighbors. Non-Jewish persons who strongly benefited the life of someone being persecuted during the Holocaust, are know as and rewarded the title, “Righteous Among Nations”. To be awarded this honor, one must have actively aided a Jewish person during the Holocaust, purely out of compassion rather than any means of personal gain. Those declared Righteous Among Nations in many cases put the lives of Jews before their own.

History is a subjective matter. There are several narrations and interpretations for every historical incident ever happened. Human beings are not immune to their own evil, which makes them vulnerable and painfully exposed to their self-made tragedies. Merriam Webster defines 'historiography' as "the writing of history based on the critical examination of sources, the selection of particulars from the authentic materials, and the synthesis of particulars into a narrative that will stand the test of critical methods." The significance of historiography lies in its ability to examine the evolution of thoughts and feelings concerned with a particular historical event.
