Perpetrators Should Be Blamed For The Holocaust

Improved Essays
The perpetrators should be blamed for the Holocaust. I feel this because they were the ones who committed the crimes. If they really think it was not right by killing the jews, they shouldn't have committed the crimes. Not only that they killed the jews, but they also did terrible things in the death camps where they forced them to do all sort of unusual work such as going through a dead body to find any hidden jewels. Also the perpetrators made at least 100 jews to go to a room where they had gas chambers that looked like shower. As they turned on the showers water came out but after several minutes, they released a deadly gas and all of the jews in the room died. They used these gas chambers to kill disabled people. They placed around 50 disabled people in the back of a van and during the journey they released a gas chamber and the disables died. They used this tool so if in future someone blames hitler for killing these people he will have the right to say that the 'gas' killed them. 500,000 men participated actively in the murder of the Jews during World War II – at gassings, …show more content…
For example, Dietrich Bonhoeffer helped jews to escape in the death camps. There were also a few students of Munich university who were distributing anti-Nazi leaflets, displaying posters and writing graffiti. Colonel Claus von Staffenburg placed a bomb under hitler's table. When Hitler arrived the bomb exploded and 5 people died but Hitler only suffered minor injuries. This shows that there was opposition groups that the bystanders could have supported to overthrow Hitler's regime. However, a further analysis is that, although there were these opposition groups, there were serious consequences such as the white rose group was tortured and hanged. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was executed in one of the concerntration camps in the last month of WW2. Thus putting off the bystanders from joining such

They tried to evacuate the camps where they tortured Jews, the Polish, Soviet prisoners, homosexuals, and many more through labor and experiments that did not accomplish anything.

    The examples shown here demonstrate that there were a variety of ways in which individuals and groups resisted and opposed Nazi Rule. It is made quite clear opposition to the Nazis was common both before and during the Second World War, and there many examples of this being the case.

    The Holocaust was one of the greatest genocide that the whole world will remember forever. The main thing that we think of when we are talking about the Holocaust are the concentration camps, and some people don’t know just how awful it was. One of the biggest and most horrifying concentration camp was, Auschwitz. More people died in Auschwitz than the British and American loses of WWII combined, that is why my partner and I thought this was the most important topic of the Holocaust to be memorialized.

    The Holocaust, which was the systematic persecution and murder of over six million Jews during World War II, is often cited as one of the worst atrocities committed in the history of human civilization. People speak of it in hushed, mournful voices as they wonder at how the German Nazis could be so malevolent as to annihilate a whole generation of Jews. Hundreds of eminent scholars have eloquently explained the horrific nature of the Holocaust and its effects on the modern world (Gerstenfeld). Yet, it can be said that emphasis should be placed on understanding why Adolf Hitler decided to exterminate so many Jews. Only by looking through the perspective of the Nazis can one begin to understand that the Nazi Party and its leader, Hitler, brutally…
