Angels Of Life And Death
1,481 words"I hated the brutality, the sadism, and the insanity of Nazism. I just couldn't stand by and see people destroyed. I did what I could, what I had to do, what my conscience told me I must do. That's all there is to it. Really, nothing more" (Below 9). These are the words of the Angel of Life in the Holocaust, Oskar Schindler. However, the life and light that was inside this man was not in the hearts of all European people between 1933 and 1945.

Auschwitz Birkenau Concentration Camps
1,327 words... Then the group was crammed into a room where they would be killed by poisonous gas. Even the Jewish prisoners who survived the selection could be subject to death at any time. The Sonderkommandos, Jewish workers at the gas chambers and crematoriums, thought that their jobs would secure their lives, but they were randomly selected to be executed too (Adler 4). They knew too much to be allowed to live inside the camp for very long (4). The authorities committed at Auschwitz-Birkenau are almost...

The Nazis relentless hatred for the Jews rested on the view they had of the world, which saw history as of racial struggle. They thought the Jews goal was world domination. This made the Nazis think that the Jews were an obstruction to Aryan dominance. They considered it their duty to eliminate the Jews, whom they regarded as a threat. Other factors also contributed toward the Nazi hatred of the Je...

Elie And His Father Concentration Camps
1,780 wordsNight, a novel by Elie Wiesel is a horrifying recollection of Wiesel's experiences through numerous German concentration camps, where amidst the savage duration and murder of the prisoners, acts of kindness and signs of hope still penetrated. During Wiesel's stay at Auschwitz, Birkenau, and Buna, he witnessed hangings, beatings, starvation, and torture. In such frightening, and yet, unbearably real situations, hopes of freedom seemed distant and kindness was rare, or unheard of. An understanding...

War On Germany Freedom Of Speech
1,649 words... Hitler pursued his policy of territorial expansion or not, because National-Socialism was threatening the very existence of Western democracies on spiritual level. Nazism is essentially a cult of physical health, beauty, and intelligence. Many historians refer to the rise of Nazi party as conservative revolution as opposed to liberal revolution with ideas of equality and progress. This only partially is a truth. The twelve years of Nazi rule in Germany is nothing else but an extraordinary at...

Nazi Doctor Past Tense Amis
802 wordsThe Point of Reversal Martin Amiss seventh novel, Times Arrow, or the Nature of the Offense is filled with echoes from the work of the great Holocaust writer Primo Levi. However from critical point of view, jokers laughing in the dark, poised between parody and bathos, humming with thoughts too deep for tears as well as other literary symbols recall Nabokov and Pynchon. For such writers, technique is discovery, not vain display, and their subjects are profound. In attempting a Holocaust novel, M...

Warsaw Ghetto Jewish Prisoners
1,413 wordsHolocaust Holocaust was by far one of the most hideous events that took place in the 20 th century. It is crucial that the remembrance, history and lessons of Holocaust are passed to the next generations, since that would ensure that terrible genocide like the one at issue would never happen again. The most important thing students and people at large can do to prevent this from happening again is to combat all the discrimination or prejudice that could possibly lead to another Holocaust. To do ...

Search For Meaning Lack Of Control
1,606 wordsI do not agree with Frankl. I do not believe Mans primary driving force is a search for meaning. Nor do I concede with his critics that propose alternative motivations, such as power, or pleasure. I believe that man has the capacity to be driven by many motivational factors, not just any single one. Moreover, I believe that these motivations represent themselves in a predictable, patterned way. In three of the books we read this summer, it is possible to trace the evolution of the protagonists m...
