I. Introduction
a. Many people believe World War II simply occurred when a power-hungry dictator named Adolf Hitler blitzed into Poland with one goal—to gather every Jew and ship them to concentration camps to be gassed. While that may be true, many people don’t realize Germany’s economy nosedived after the country was punished for the events in World War I. Also, the Great Depression in the United States affected Europe, including Germany. This became the perfect breeding ground for low-life, toxic dictators like Hitler to emerge, and starry-eyed citizens celebrated their dictator’s ascent while hoping for a bright future for their country.
b. Thesis statement: Adolf Hitler invaded Poland instead of Austria because this provided the only

However, Britain’s democracy isn’t the only one under attack by Hitler’s relentless hustle to occupy countries and turn them into Nazis. The British people, whether in London, other cities, and small villages, are affected by Hitler. Winston Churchill reflects on the air raid bombings in Britain and how the country is preparing its citizens for these air raid bombings, which he calls it as a crisis. Many people are concerned about their lives, homes, and loved ones and if they will survive. If these people are killed in the air raid bombings, that means people lose their loved ones prematurely. The preparations included holding people in air raid shelters, which Jose Harris states, “Moreover, aerial bombing and medical concentration on acute injury cases soon precipitated crisis in the treatment of long-term illness; and in 1940 air-raid shelter were becoming distressingly full of poor, chronically sick, homeless had nowhere else to go—a problem that forced the central government for the first time in British history to take direct financial responsibility for civilian medical and provision of hospital beds.” People and families weren’t just losing their lives or having to separate from their families to move to the countryside. The poor were going inside the shelter to seek comfort from the elements, and in addition, the government had to take action to think about the homeless and where they would go for shelter during the air

The article “Teens Against Hitler” by Lauren Tarshis shows the challenges of a Jewish family during World War 2 and how a young teenager rebelled against the Nazis and Hitler. In 1939 in the city of Warsaw Ben and his Jewish family were rounded up and forced into Warsaw’s ghetto. Later, Ben joined a partisan group and fought the Nazis and Hitler. This was a great act of courage but came at the price of his family’s life.
During the Holocaust, six million Jews were sent to their deaths. Nevertheless, in the Holocaust literature, one can find the glimpse of joy. In 1933, in Germany, Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party created a German Empire & Jews were no place in Hitler’s vision. Love & Laughter were two of the main things that made Jews and other people forget the time happening in the Holocaust, including nature. Almost 2,700,000 Jews were sent to extermination camps such as, Treblinka and Chelmno, where they were lately killed.
The holocaust begin in 1933 and ended in 1945. The Jewish people were targeted by the nazis because Hitler and the nazis blamed Jewish people for the cause of WWI to cover up the fact of how bad they were. The way Jewish people were discriminated against was by the government they would use their power to target and exclude Jewish people from German society. First, they would strip them of their rights.
Sebastian Haffner, in his memoir Defying Hitler, describes the rise of National Socialism within Germany during the interwar years that were plagued with thoughts of war, poverty and defeat. Lives that previously had purpose and were connected through mass culture surrounding the ‘Great War’, were now barren. This war-ravaged void left behind from World War One, that had been previously placated by political headlines, war reports, stock quotes and sport statistics, left the German people deprived of any personal fulfilment and balance within their private lives. This deprivation allowed Hitler’s nationalist message, and propaganda for the Nazi regime, to pervade German thoughts, winning a battle over the German minds. This battle, as Haffner
The Holocaust was a horrific part of Jewish history. With time the Jewish population was able to recover from this devastating event through the creation of Israel. Israel was established with the intention of being able to perform self defense against further attacks. The study of the Holocaust and the study of the state of Israel are directly related because the Holocaust led to the development of present day Israel, Israel is a symbol of the growth of the Jewish people since the Holocaust, Israel is a strong and successful nation only because of the development of its people that took place during the events of the Holocaust. Israel's development into its present state was inspired by the Jews that endured the Holocaust and didn't
Hayes looks at how the Nazi regime's attitude of Jews changed over time, moving from persecution and exclusion to ghettoization and eventually extermination. He points out that the choice to pursue total destruction was the outcome of a complicated interaction of forces rather than being premeditated. Also, Hayes examines Nazi ideology, particularly its anti-Semitic viewpoints, and how they acted as a catalyst for the determination to exterminate European Jews. He contends that this worldview gave Nazis the framework they needed to view Jews as a menace below human status that needed to be eliminated. Next, the chapter dives into the impact of Nazi bureaucracy.
In 1939, When Hitler began his march of conquest, Jews in Nazi occupied countries were put into unsanitary ghettos, walled-off sections of a city where they were denied proper food, medical services, and heat. The Nazis despised the Jews to a point where they were going to put them in areas that were in terrible conditions for survivability. This act of hatred was the start of the timeless suffering that the Jews would have to endure in the next seven
The Holocaust, a genocide in which approximately six million Jews were killed by Adolf Hitler 's Nazi regime. The Holocaust did not happen overnight instead it occurred through years of discrimination, segregation, and violence against the Jews in Germany. Hitler first wanted the Jews to emigrate, then they were put into Ghettos, then Concentration camps, and last Extermination camps. The U.S. did very little in regards to the aiding of the Jews and other groups being persecuted by Nazi Germany.
To understand Holocaust survivors, the hardships they have endured, and the messages they bring to the modern world, which will be remembered forever, we must start with the basics, by first learning the definition of the word "Holocaust." To fully grasp the severity and atrocity that these people have gone through, we must first learn the definition of what they have gone through. Holocaust, this word is cited in history books, speeches, quotations, and, basically, anywhere there is data on crimes against humanity. However, what does this mean?
Families were separated, and the people were stripped of their belongings, and sent to concentration camps where they were subject to forced labor, torture, and inhumane medical experiments. Those who were deemed unfit to work, including children, the elderly, and the sick, were immediately sent to gas chambers where they were killed. The Jewish community during the Holocaust lived in constant fear of being discovered, and they were forced to hide in attics, cellars, and other hidden places to avoid detection. Families were torn apart, and parents had to make the difficult decision to send their children away to protect them from the Nazis.
Over the course of many decades, genocides have taken place all over the world. One of the most famous massacres is known as the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a time in the 1900s when millions of people died under the name of Adolf Hitler. As a consequence of Adolf Hitler’s actions, the Holocaust shows the effects of social hate and continues to serve as a lesson in the world today.

Although, by late summer 1942 it was no secret to anyone in the Ghetto that deportations meant almost certain death. “From July 22nd until September 12th, 1942, Mass deportations were a common thing in the Warsaw Ghetto”. (Case Study: Warsaw Ghetto) One of the worst “Resettlement Operations”, ended the lives of almost 300,000 people. The Great Action was definitely one of the most tragic movements that Hitler ever ordered.
The Holocaust In the late 1930’s Adolf Hitler had decided that the world would be better off if there were no Jewish people. All Jewish kids were kicked out of all Activities and school. The Gestapo Police were policemen that only followed Hitler's orders, they were ordered by Hitler to imprison or kill all unwanted people, such as blacks, Polish, disabled, and homosexuals. (Mackay 6)
