Night Essay
In a town called Sighet, Transylvania, many Jews were killed for what they believed in. This was called the Holocaust. During the Holocaust, people were being transported from their homes to much smaller areas called the ghettos. Without them knowing, Jews were taken to a concentration camp, where they were forced to work. In Eliezer Wiesels’ book, “Night” we see more personal experience. First of all, war criminals strolled through the streets of Hamsburg and Munich. But however there are anti-semites in Germany, France, and even the United States who told the world that story.”Night has been received in ways that i never expected, but students in high school and colleges in the United States and elsewhere read it

The initial release of the book Night was in French and later, Wiesel has served as a human…

The Holocaust was the worst genocide in the world because the Nazis killed people of any age, the concentration camps had the worst possible conditions, and the Nazis treated the prisoners like animals. One reason the Holocaust was the worst genocide in the world is the Nazis killed people of any age. One piece of evidence that shows this is “They were burning something.…

    Many who read and study about the Holocaust, realize that the actions that took place can be considered as a genocide upon a nation of people that were seen as inferior to others…but that ultimately were not harming anyone throughout society. Despite studying all of the information about the Holocaust, the only “accurate” information comes from those whom were hard to undergo the course of this mass genocide. It is these eye-witness testimonies that allows, for those who did not experience it, brain to retain the material presented while also allowing the hearts to be moved to realize how it felt to be a Jew, Gypsy, Handicapped, or Prisoner of War (POW) during the concentration and medical camps of WWII. It is also because of the eye-witness testimonies that allow for one to realize why it is important to remember the Holocausts’ impact upon the lives of those affected…so that history never has the audacity to repeat. While reading the stories portrayed throughout the eye-witness accounts, I was able to place myself within the shoes of those whom were able to give their testimonies.…

    The Holocaust illustrates the consequences of prejudice, racism and stereotyping upon a society. The Holocaust was one of the twentieth century’s greatest tragedies that drastically changed the lives of many Jewish citizens during 1933-1939. These greatest tragedies were made possible by prevalent anti-semitism, Hitler’s rise to power, the introduction of the nuremberg laws and the night of the broken glass. Before the Holocaust, the Jewish community that occupied much of Europe lived a peaceful life, until chaos erupted over the 1930’s. Despite some anti-semitism, life for Jewish citizens within Europe before 1933 was relatively secluded.…
