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 ...

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...

Hitler Came To Power Anti Semitism
1,484 words
Anti-Semitism was widespread in Europe at the time
Hitler came to power. Much of this anti-Semitism
was rooted, first, in religious beliefs that arose
more than 1500 years before Hitler came to power,
and second, on political beliefs, often cynically
exploited for political gain. Though it was not
accepted by everyone, this existing anti-Semitism
was common and provided a receptive audience for
Hitler's anti-Semitic claims. Hitler did not just
exploit the existing anti-Semitism in Germany; he
ch...

From the beginning the Nazis who were being
faithful to Hitler had specifically targeted the
Jews. 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...

Hitlers Rise To Power

The name Hitler stirs up many emotions inside the
hearts of people. What could have made Hitler so
hostile towards the Jews? Could it have been his
unhappy childhood, frustrated adolescence, his
artistic disappointment, rejection from the Jewish
society or merely the wound he received on the
front during World War I. Adolf Hitler or the
incarnation of absolute evil became dictator of
Germany in 1933 and prepared his nation for war
and a Final Solution to the Jewish problem. Hitler

Prisoners Of War Extermination Camps

Is taking a persons life because of religious
persuasion justified? Hitler thought so; he had a
dream of ruling the world and those who didnt fit
his plans were disposed of. Hitlers plan was to
make a world of blonde-haired blue-eyed Germans.
He started building concentration camps throughout
Germany and the Reich during the late nineteen
thirties. At first concentration camps were for
the political prisoners, criminals, and security
risks. He began to abolish the Jewish majority and
others that...

Carbon Monoxide Concentration Camps

The Holocaust was a horrible time. Part of this
tragedy was the concentration camps. During the
1930 s and 1940 s, German Nazi leaders established
22 concentration camps where Jews, but also along
with Gypsies, homosexuals, Communists, Slav, and
others who were judged undesirable were
imprisoned. Most prisoners were worked to death,
shot, gassed, or given lethal injections. By the
end of the war, six million people had died in
concentration camps. Here is an inside look on
these unthinkable crim...

Food means different things to people in different
countries of the world; pasta is common in Italy,
hamburgers are a favorite in the US and tacos are
a typical dish in Mexico. Human existence solely
depends on this source of energy. A person's
fundamental need for food makes it a very
important item, placing the people who control the
food in a very high esteem. Consistency is also
important in the delicate balance of life. Erich

Holocaust Holocaust: great or wholesale
destruction of life, esp. by fire. (The Macquarie

date the beginning of the Holocaust to September

Illustrating Major Themes In Night By Elie Wiesel

When being asked to paint a picture of the
universe from darkest black to gray, one might
think that this would be an easy task. After all,
when discussing the events that these authors have
endured, it is difficult calling anything gray.
Pitch black seems to fit all of the readings
equally. Reading the gruesome stories of physical
and mental abuse, it is difficult to hear that a
human being not only went through what these four
did go through, but that a human being could
really do this to anot...

Concentration Camps Hitler Decided

The Holocaust is one of the most, if not the most
horrifying crime against humanity ever. When it
comes to discussing the Holocaust, many people
seem to shy away from the topic as if they are
scared of it. I believe this is wrong. If someone
is scared of the Holocaust and refuses to learn
about, they will never truly understand the pain
and suffering that Jews faced during those
terrible years. Adolf Hitler decided that in his
quest to form the perfect Aryan race, the only way
to do it would be ...

The Holocaust was a devastating event. It will be
remembered forever. Statistics are important to
learn just how many people perished as result of
the Holocaust. But perhaps more shocking than
statistics, are the words said by people who
experienced the Holocaust first hand. It takes a
certain person to survive through this tragic
experience. To fully understand what qualities it
takes to survive life through concentration camps,
it is necessary to know what goes on in these
