Response To The Holocaust

Improved Essays
This site is OK for background but it’s misleading. I always used to wonder what was it about Jews that made people throughout history despise them. If they were indeed "God's chosen" I thought, they had to be the unluckiest people in the history of the world. Why were they persecuted throughout history? Why had the Nazis herded them into cattle cars and taken them to "extermination camps" to dispose once and for all of the "Jewish problem?" I suddenly recognized that if Hitler had developed a "Final Solution" to the Jewish question, that there had to have been a "Jewish Problem." Could the Jews have in any way behaved in such a manner that would make the countries in which they resided turn against them, or were they just unfortunate, innocent …show more content…
I had not known that many of the claims they made about the Holocaust that I had believed unquestioningly for so long were in fact fraudulent, including Anne Frank's Diary. I learned that the confessions at the Nuremberg Trials and the executions of so many German "war criminals" were extracted under torture and the defendants were being tried, judged and condemned by their very accusers. I learned about the "false flag" operations, such as the tragedy of the USS Liberty attacked by the Israelis during the 1967 war and killing 34 young American men. I became shocked and horrified as I learned about the treatment of the Palestinian people in the occupied territories at the hands of the Israeli Defense Forces and the Jewish settlers. Israel purports to be the only democracy in the middle east, but it's only a democracy for Jews. Non-Jews are not considered equal. I was saddened to see pictures of innocent Palestinian children burned beyond recognition or suffering from serious gunshot wounds after being targeted by the IDF for no other reason than that they are …show more content…
They have driven Christianity from the public schools despite Christianity being the majority religion. They have taken Christmas out of the public school calendar despite the fact that it is a statutory holiday and it is named Christmas. I read about the anti-Genteelism and hatefulness from the Jewish Talmud and their utter disrespect for, and hostility towards Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary and Christianity and Christians in general. I learned about their "chutzpah" in claiming that Gentile lives were worth no more than the lives of barnyard animals but that they considered Jewish lives to be akin to God Himself. It's okay to steal from a Gentile or to kill a Gentile, but Jewish lives are sacred. I learned of their control of the majority of wealth, the media and academia despite them making up less than 2% of the population (even lower in Canada). Men like German Rudolf, David Irving and many more, previously recognized as great historians, were arrested, charged with hate crimes and incarcerated simply for having made academic inquiry into a specific period of

    Similar to the Bosnian genocide (Yugoslavian War) there were two different beliefs conflicting.

    Jews went through so much during the holocaust. It’s hard to believe that someone can be so evil to want to completely destroy a group of humans. Jews were not only tortured physically but emotionally too. Many lost their family, friends and even neighbors on the first day that they were sent to the concentration camps. Once inside these camps, Jews were just completely dehumanized.…

    The demise of the Jews is something that is taught in schools and described in history books yet few people know what led up to the eventual annihilation of six million Jews living in Europe, Russia and Poland. What started off as a thought with “good intentions” by Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party turned out to be one of the deadliest genocides in history. The events that initiated the “final solution” can be traced back to the Nuremburg laws created and enforced by Adolf Hitler and his party. This was then followed by an important event in history; Kristallnacht. This all contributed to the notion that one group’s hatred could impact the world severely.…

    And what I was about to witness with my eye angered me, it made my blood boil. How could they treat them so brutally? As if they had a choose to be born Jewish and German.

I feel as if I am paralyzed, I can not just turn the other cheek on these people.…

    The history of the Holocaust is one that continues to captivate the minds of historians, sociology, political scientist, and popular culture. One of the many lasting legacies that continues to haunt the memories of individuals concerning the Holocaust is the idea that six million people could be exterminated by a “western” modern, capitalist society while the rest of the world stood and watched. Nazi Germany created the environment where Jews and other undesirables such as gays, gypsies, and communist began facing persecution decades before this state-sponsored mass murder campaign, which systematically started in 1941. The Nazis extermination policy that began with pogroms and clear directed violence was recognized and known by other Western counties. One of the most devastating accounts of human rights…

    The Holocaust was a time of pure evil and grief. From when Hitler became Chancellor of Germany in 1933, lasting to the day the war ended in 1945, the Jewish population was taken from their homes, put to work, and faced with shocking living conditions. One of Hitler’s goals was to racially cleanse the society of Germany and areas in Poland to become a complete Aryan race. In 1933 the first concentration camp was established. These camps were used as either work camps, transit camps, or killing camps.…

    Jews were brutalized by Nazis. They were overwhelmed by these actions and could not believe that God, the Almighty and Eternal, responsible for everything in the world could permit such atrocities. “ Why, but why should I bless him?

    H. Henry Sianson said that he, “Lived in Berlin...lived like a normal German… Conservative Jew… observed Jewish laws…”. Margaret Lambert said, “... never made a difference if you were a Jew or a non-Jew.” These quotes elaborate on the fact that Jews were quite normal citizens before 1933, before the reign of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party, or the Nazis. Drawing a conclusion, from quotes said by the survivors, many may say that Holocaust just appeared with the reign of Adolf Hitler, without any real preparation. However, those people are completely wrong, as the Holocaust ( or ‘Shoah’ in Hebrew) could never have happened without preparation of antisemitism, or prejudice or discrimination of Jews, over one thousand years.…

    You will also find that it wasn’t worth hurting and murdering people in the end.

    European Jews were treated terribly by Nazi Germany during WWII. They were faced with horrific circumstances and inevitable fates. Jews were dehumanised and treated as if they were a threat to Germany and if they were not disposed of, their supposedly evil and nefarious mannerisms would, ironically, soon destroy Germany as a race. According to the film, Schindler 's List, the discrimination of Jews and the actions the Nazis took to expose them was non-expectant and unpredictable.…
