    Existing for three and a half years, The Theresienstadt "camp-ghetto", Terezin, was a distorted version of home for 15,000 children during the holocaust of which only 100 survived (“Theresienstadt”). Many activities were started for children such as drawing classes to distract them and ease their confusion to their surroundings. Brian Devlin, an organizer of an exhibition from United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, said that families at the camp "tried to shield their children from the horror of their situation by occupying their free time with games, education and painting". Friedl Dicker-Brandeis, an art teacher at Terezin, helped children use art as therapy while she accepted no pay for her services (Elsby). When she was deported to Terezin…

    Throughout the 1900’s, Russian and German Jews immigrated to the United States in massive droves. Between 1881 and 1914, over three million Russian Jews immigrated to the United States. They formed their own communities and neighborhoods, especially in cities such as New York, where the Lower East Side was composed almost entirely of Jewish immigrants. The Russian Jews immigrated to the United States for a plethora of reasons, most of which related to the prejudices and bigotry that they had faced in their home countries, and once they were here, they faced new challenges both in the workplace and in education. Russian and German Jews immigrated to the United States in large numbers for the duration of the 1910’s and 1920’s.…

    The main reason was xenophobia; the intense or irrational dislike or fear of people from other countries; because this was after the World War I so everyone was afraid of Germans but also they feared the Russians because of the Russian revolution and the country’s ties to communism. This was known as the first red scare. Think of it like the McCarthy red scare’s older cousin who no one talks about. This coupled with religious intolerance and a strong sense of nativism (the policy of protecting the interests of native-born or established inhabitants against those of immigrants) led the charge to keep out…

    To many, the Holocaust is the first thing that comes to mind when discussing or remembering World War II. I feel that this alone is an argument for the Holocaust being a defining factor for the war; however, there were occurrences during this time that stand out above the others. Not only was there a mass genocide on a particular grouping of people, there were also a vast number of concentration camps and medical testing that occurred during this period. When we are taught about the Holocaust, we are told that this act of genocide was focused on the Jewish population, particularly those residing in Germany. Hitler thought that these people were greedy and evil and had to be exterminated.…

    The First and Second Aliyah were two groups of Zionist immigrants, moving away from their own country for Palestine (which is now known as the Land of Israel), as they determined to bring all of the Jewish people together in one Jewish State. The First Aliyah was a major wave of Zionist immigrants, who immigrated from Eastern Europe and Yemen between the years 1882 to 1903. On the other hand, the Second Aliyah was a group of Jews who immigrated from Europe and Czarist Russia between the years 1904 to 1914. To begin, the two groups had quite a difference in the number of people. In the First Aliyah, approximately 25,000 to 35,000 Jews migrated, despite their decisions being criticized by scholars.…

    Twelve million immigrants who were processed through Ellis Island ended up having tens of millions of children and grandchildren, who heard many different stories about their life as an immigrant (Yans-McLaughlin 59). They sacrificed everything to start a better life in America for themselves and their family. The majority of the time, they did it even if it meant they would have nothing and would be struggling to begin their life in America. Passing as an immigrant through Ellis Island was not easy because they faced many hardships, the immigration process was tough, and life was a struggle even after passing through the island. Ellis Island was originally a 3.5 acre area located on the coast of Manhattan Island in the New York Bay.…
