Prisoners Of War Concentration Camps
1,397 words
... The scientifically planned crematoria should
have been able to handle the total project, but
they could not. The whole complex had forty-six
retorts, each with the capacity for three to five
persons. The burning in a retort lasted about half
an hour. It took an hour a day to clean them out.
Thus it was theoretically possible to cremate
about 12, 000 corpses in twenty four hours or 4,
380, 000 a year. But the well-constructed
crematoria fell far behind at a number of camps,
and especially at ...

the Holocaust which people have been taught is a
severe problem that must be corrected immediately.

Family Ties Strong Family
404 words
Written by Alexander Kill - Holocaust Survivor.
The Jews were a strong people that survived 2000
years of dispersion without assimilation. Their
strong survival mechanism was based on adaptation
to persecution. They were like a reef that bends
to the hurricane and survives, while an old tree
is broken. Even their Arch-enemy, Hitler
grudgingly acknowledged this strength. In Mein
Kampf Hitler wrote: In hardly any people in the
world is the instinct of self preservation
developed more strongly than...

Life In Prison Death Penalty
1,603 words
The practice of putting certain convicted felons
to death is a precedent that dates far back to
early civilization. Unfortunately, it has become a
very controversial issue in the United States over
the last century. The death penalty was put into
place for a number of reasons, but the biggest
being the deterrent effect of capital punishment.
Some would say that the death penalty does not
deter murder. In 1985, economist Stephen K. Lesson
at the University of North Carolina published a
study that...

World War Holocaust Times

The Holocaust was a tragic point in history that
many people believe never happened. Others who
survived it thought it should never had happened.
Not only did this affect the people who lived
through it; it also affected everyone who was
connected to those fortunate individuals who
survived. The survivors were lucky to have made it
but there are times when their memories and
flashbacks have made them wish they were the ones
who died instead of living with the horrible
aftermath. The question sta...

Effects Of The Atomic Bomb

The effects of the atomic bomb were terrible.
Theres no doubt in my mind that the atomic bombs
dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki were a costly
mistake. Atomic bombs produce heat millions of
degrees high, and visible ultraviolet and inferred
rays. (Lapp 844) Everyone and everything exposed
to their blast is affected. No one is left
untouched, whether it be emotional or physical; in
many cases both. However, many members of the
science community argue that the atomic bomb was a
great advance in te...

with her a sore back from the next child to be
born. In Angela's Ashes, Frank McCourt examines
his childhood experiences, the tragedies,
hardships, and learning involved with growing up.

are those that existed in prehistory, the
Neolithic era. These cultures are extremely

Christianity is defined as, A major religion,

Jesus of Nazareth (the Christ, or the Anointed One

become the largest of the worlds religions. Yet in
Ancient Rome in the first century A. D. they were
not welcome. Christians were burned and tortured,
and persecuted for just over three hundred years
because of their beliefs. Why? We may never fully
