People faced with cruelty still find a way to be kind.The Nazie targeted people who were different. September 15 1935 Jewish people were striped from freedom and from their lives due to the Nuremberg Laws. Hitler thought the Jews were the reason that Germany lost WWII, so he gave orders to build death camps and ghettos. The Jews had it worse than any other criminals because only Jews were sent to the death camps. The presence of intolerance can inspire people to treat others with kindness as seen in the Diary of Anne Frank. Anne gave them presents for Hanukkah even though they were getting frustrated with each other because they were trapped in a tiny room for a long time and they couldn't go out to buy gifts.

    Compassion In The Holocaust Analysis

    A third example of how compassion affects survival is the fact that the Nazis showed no compassion to anyone in the camp. It was because of the Nazis lack of compassion that Jews were being put into death camps and being taken away from their families. Which ultimately led to millions of Jews being killed. In contrast to compassion, there were many examples of the Nazis being cold-hearted. One disturbing example is on page 32 when Elie says “Babies!…

    Night Elie Wiesel Analysis

    The cruel hands of the SS guards struck relentlessly on the dehumanized victims. The inhumane camp held the minorities captive for what seemed to be endless periods of time. The saddest aspect of the Holocaust was not how many lives were lost, but how how many souls were killed, tortured, and put through excruciating pain. By the end of Night the surviving prisoners were completely different people, people who could only think about the horrid, monstrous things in the world, people who were guilty for what they were forced to watch and do to their fellow prisoners, people who had very little humanity left in them. At these camps, Jews, and other “imperfect” humans, were deceived and lied to, forced to turned against each other, and turned…

    Elie Wiesel's Night: The Dehumanization Of The Holocaust

    Night Essay To dehumanize is to deprive someone of compassion, civility, or individuality. During the Holocaust, the Nazis used dehumanization to belittle Jews to mere “things”; objects with no purpose other than to be a nuisance. The Nazis were brutal in their endeavor to wipe out the “insignificant and worthless” Jewish race, mainly forcing their despicable horrors upon the Jewish people in German concentration camps. Although the majority of the dehumanization of the Jews was in German concentration camps, there was also a great deal of injustice towards them long before ending up in those camps.…
