How Does The World Learned From Holocaust

Improved Essays
In the early 1940’s, millions of Jews were killed by Hitler and his followers. The world hesitated to help these innocent people much like we are doing today with Syria. The world has not learned it’s lessons from the events of the Holocaust because innocent people are dying, being forced out of their homes, and the United States is hesitating to help out Syria. The world has not learned it’s lessons from the events that have happened in the Holocaust. One reason the world has not learned it’s lessons from the Holocaust is that innocent people are still dying. An example from the text that the world has not learned it’s lesson is “Over 100 thousand of Syrian Civilians have been killed since 2011.” A second example to support my reason about innocent people dying is some Syrian Refugees are loosing their lives trying to find safety. These people are faces with hunger, fighting sickness, and other challenging things. Also the refugee camps are not the cleanest nor safest places for them to be either. Their homes at the camps are tents made of sheets and some people may not be able to afford them so they might suffer in the coldness at the …show more content…
An example to support my opinion is “We are worried about our security.” We are worried about our security because we do not want terrorist or other bad people to come into our country and threaten our people. Another example to support my reason is “The United States refugee process has reached to a screeching halt because some United States refugee applications are taking 33 months to process.” It takes so long to process the applications because they have to probably go through history of the people that want to enter The United States and other security things they have to go through. That is my third reason why the world has not learned it’s lessons from the events that have happened during the

    Ignorance of those who are not being affected makes the enemy stronger and the victim weaker, because even if people don’t mean to, silence is often interpreted as support to the enemy. If no one is stopping Hitler and the Nazis, how would there be an end to the persecution of the Jewish people? No one can stop Hitler if not a single person is willing to truly recognize what was truly happening. Lastly, in The Voices of the Holocaust, the poem “First they came...” by Martin Niemöller explains the attitude of the bystanders watching their friends and neighbors being taken away.…

    We have been learning about the Holocaust and World War 2 for many years as part of our social studies curriculum. Most of us probably, and I hope, know that this was a bad thing for Hitler to do and be a part of. You always feel more empathy and sadness when you actually read documentaries about people that have experienced this terrible time. The story Night by Elie Wiesel shares her personal experiences of being kicked out of her hometown and being transported to the camps, what happened at the camps and the impact it had on her, and how there was so much death going on and barely anybody survived. Hungary a place where Jews are happily living their lives until the German armies take it all over.…

    Dear Mr, Elie Wiesel. My English recently finished your book "Night", one of the few survivor stories of the Holocaust. The Holocaust is the epitome of genocide, which always begins with an idea and like a wildfire, it grows. I've had a chance to observe this mentality amongst others. Discrimination among differences still exists.…

    “If we forget, we are guilty, we are accomplices,’ Jenny Nelson says, quoting from Elie Wiesel’s Night” (“Teachers Revisits Holocaust” Mitchell). His speech is momentous as it talks about the Holocaust and what they did to all kinds of people. If we were to forget about this event, we would simply replay it all over again and this is not okay. This is why his speech is remembered, to speak of it to the children in schools, to speak of it to all of the people in the world in hopes to prevent it from happening again. Wiesel told the people, his audience, to speak up when there is injustice.…

    The Holocaust is a subject that is overlooked, misunderstood, and disregarded. Students do get taught about it in school, but it generally becomes a subject that people avoid discussing because they don’t want to offend someone. It soon became a subject that was too daunting and too terrifying to be thought of. People can’t even try to fathom the kind of evil it must take to degrade humans the way the Nazis did during the war, that they just stopped thinking about it all together. Some people even convinced themselves that the Holocaust never happened.…

    Indifferences of Prejudices The article by Zanottini was published by the pacific standard. Basically, this article is about the manner in which people look negatively at other forms of English that are somewhat not prestigious. According to Zanottini the prejudice that is usually demonstrated by people who usually speak correct English is just a reflection of their bias against the groups of people who speak the non-prestigious English. Apart from that, she puts across the idea that the numerous grammatical errors in how such people speak are actually a recipe that is well developed in its own to suite the wide variety of English speakers.…

    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.…

    To teach a class about the holocaust and only show them "Life is beautiful" , would be like wanting to teach a class about World War Two and then show them a Disney movie. Not that it is a bad movie, it just does a very bad job of portraying the horrific events that occurred during the holocaust. This movie never once shows a prisoner being beaten or killed, we are left to assume that Guido was shot and left for dead. If you were just starting to learn about the holocaust and watched this movie you would think that it would have been easy for children like Guidos son Giosue to stay in the camps with their parents. If you could only show one film, this would not be a very wise choice because: it makes it seem like the Jews lived easy lives, it gives you the idea prisoners could easily defy the guards and act out, and it makes you think prisoners could easily hide children in the camps.…

    “The Holocaust illustrates the consequences of prejudice, racism, and stereotyping on a society it forces us to examine the responsibilities of citizenship and content the power of ramifications of indifference and inaction,” once said by Tim Holden. As Tim Holden said the Holocaust was a dark event caused by the consequences of others. So many people did wrong but a great amount of people also stepped up and did right on the world. For example Jeanne Daman, a Catholic heroic teacher who helped children hide, rescued adults, and reunited children with their parents. Jeanne Damon was a young teacher in Brussels.…

    Why should future generations know about the holocaust? The Holocaust was an unquestionable powerful event that all started with Hitler and the Nazis in Germany. Not only German Jews but all Jews were killed just because Hitler thought they didn’t match the characteristics of a natural born German Jew. This was such a tragic event that it should be widely known by all generations. People and children of younger generations should all be aware that this happened in order to stop future events such as the Holocaust to happen again.…

    If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must man be of learning from experience. Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it. From the American responses during the Holocaust and the Japanese Americans being put in concentration camps to what is currently happening with the Syrian refugees. Now fear and anxiety about whether to admit many refugees or turn them away has put the attention on the many regretful decisions made by U.S. officials before, during and now after World War ll. The Holocaust was one of the most horrific time periods from 1933- 1945 where the mass murder of some 6 million Jews along with homosexuals and gypsies by the order of Adolf Hitler.…

    There are many reasons as to why it is vital that the lessons we have learned from the Holocaust be passed on to new generations. It’s honestly so insane that one human being was responsible for such a violent act. One human being had the power to kill over thousands of people. One human being had the heart and soul so cold enough to be able to plan and succeed in doing such an inhumane act. The learning and understanding of this barbarous era can really show people that a human being was and is capable of doing such an inhumane act, that then and even now racism still exists, and that we couldn’t and still cannot solve a situation if we just choose to be bystanders and keep silent.…
