Refuse To Accept Extermination Camps
1,201 words
During the 1930 s, the Nazis built concentration
camps to imprison the parts of the population that
they desired. At first the camps were located in
Germany, but as the Nazi forces spread across
Europe, so did the camps. Eventually the camps
were created to murder the European Jews. Every
day thousands of prisoners were suffocated in the
gas chambers, after which their bodies were burned
in the crematoriums. In Auschwitz, the most
notorious death camp, approximately 1. 5 million
Jews were killed...

Concentration Camps Allied Forces
907 words
In 1933 Adolf Hitler was the leader of Nazi
Germany. He wanted to wipe out the Jewish
population and conquer the world. At this time
there were about three million Jews living in
Germany. The Nazis believed that the Germans were
superior. They mistakenly saw Jews as a specific
race, therefore claiming them to be inferior and a
prime target for killing. "Holocaust" is a word
that means widespread destruction. Hitlers hatred
for the Jews and his need for total power
definitely created widespread d...

Elie Wiesel Fully Understand
1,674 words
The suffering of man is a very complicated matter
that is most likely impossible to understand
completely. It is a subject that people have
grappled with since the dawn of recorded history.
In fact, suffering is evident in every form of art
man has created. Suffering is in our paintings,
our poetry, our music, our plays, and in anything
else that is conceivable. But still, we as a whole
still struggle with the idea of suffering. It is
my opinion that some individuals may grasp the
notion of suff...

the German military and in 1936, occupied the

Fugitive Pieces By Anne Michaels

Anne Michaels wrote a beautiful book called
Fugitive pieces. In this book she offered the
reader the collection of poems concerning various
issues. One of the themes covered in her writings
is the theme of past that develops through her
literary pieces. In 1940, Jacob Beer, a
seven-year-old boy, bursts from the mud of a
war-torn Polish city, where he has buried himself
to hide from Nazi soldiers who have killed his
family. Though he should have died with his

... politically motivated literary piece. In order
for us to do this, we will have to draw a certain
historical parallels. For example, the best proof
that Holocaust really did occur are the pictures
of bulldozers pushing corpses into the mass
graves. It never occurs to people who believe in
Holocaust that these pictures are simply the
pictures of corpses and that they do not suggest
that Germans were the perpetrators. The pictures
of dead people do not specify the cause of death

Mein Kampf Luther

Anti-Semite. The word rests in a conversation like
a foul stench and with it comes unbidden images
and accusations. Today in many circles this word
alone is possibly the most horrendous name to
place on a person. Maybe though, not because of
what it means, but because of what it brings to
mind. Automatically and unwanted, pictures come to
our mind of goose stepping Nazis and concentration
camps, bodies piled high and what we think of as
the air fills with the scent of burning flesh. Our

In Hannah Ardent's book, Eichmann In Jerusalem, an
in depth account of the Adolf Eichmann trial of
1961, Ardent makes a claim on the banality of evil
and uses the Eichmann Trial as a platform on which
to deliver this claim. Ardent also insists that
the court in Jerusalem missed the greatest moral
and even legal challenge of the case of not
proving Eichmann to be a liar and assuming that he
must have been aware of the criminal nature of his
acts, but instead accepting the fact under the

town a young religious man named Elie Wiesel was
questioning the intent of the German army and the

Concentration Camp Prejudice Holocaust
452 words
Prejudice was the main factor that led to the
holocaust. For some, resisting these forms of
oppression was survival. Considering the
dehumanizing the Nazis had forced upon the Jews,
people took whatever courage and strength they had
to get through this period of time. I believe luck
also had a part to play in survival. Even though
now prejudice is mostly name calling, 60 years ago
it could mean death. Whether one is resisting the
Nazis or just resisting prejudice in general, one
must never give ...
