    Lessons of the Holocaust both summarizes and extends Marrus’ profession as a holocaust historian – one that he labels as “a never ending quest to get to the bottom of things” (Marrus, 2016, p. 174). In the book Lessons of the Holocaust, Michael R. Marrus discusses how the Holocaust, like all important events in history, must be learned, debated and interpreted for new generations. He argues, that there are no set lessons to be learned from the Holocaust since its meaning is not fixed. Marrus talks about historians and how they no longer converse about such issues, as they once used to, including the lessons of the French Revolution, fall of the Roman Empire, or even the lessons of the Canadian Confederation”. The lessons of the Holocaust are…

    A variety of groups resisted the Nazi regime, both in Germany and in German- occupied territory. Until it was clear the Nazis wanted to kill all living Jews in Europe, people hung on to the hope that perhaps their own lives would be spared. Earlier on in World War two, many people decided to watch and not take part the elimination of the Jewish race. This term is widely known as a Bystander. An authority by Yad Vashem explains “The vast majority of people in Germany and occupied Europe were aware, to at least some extent, of how the Nazi regime was treating the Jews.…

    “After liberation, many Jewish survivors feared to return to their former homes because of anti-Semitism (hatred of Jews) that still went on in parts of Europe and the trauma they suffered.” With few possibilities for emigration, tens of thousands of homeless Holocaust survivors migrated westward to other European territories that were liberated by western allies. “A considerable number and variety of Jewish agencies worked to assist the Jewish displaced persons. The American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee provided Holocaust survivors with food and clothing, while the Organization for Rehabilitation through Training (ORT) offered vocational training.” Many Jews that survived still have nightmares of the…

    My foot fell asleep as I was crammed inside the dark closet hiding from them. I could hear the faint gunshots in the distance, yet, as time passed by, the gunshots became louder and louder. The gun smoke which leaked in through the walls, made me nauseous as it filled my lungs like a gas chamber. Though I dared not to cough, in fear that someone would find me. Nauseous and confused, I listened to them as they were all yelling something in German.…

    There is a lot of information about the Holocaust that isn’t taught in detail, such as the ghettos, the camps and the forced labor and mass killing that came with it and the end of the horrifying time in history. Ghettos were one of the first steps in the Holocaust. They were a way of separating the Jewish peoples from the rest of the population (see Fig. 1). They were closed off, sometimes pushing as many as 400,000 people in as small as a 1.3 square mile area (Warsaw Ghetto).…

    Children of the Holocaust One of the hardest facts to accept about the Holocaust is the systematic murder of 1.5 million children. Children who were newborns, toddlers, preschoolers and those who enjoyed days playing games and swinging on their neighborhood swingsets. Children who were not yet old enough to walk, were still wearing diapers, who’s only wish was to be held and loved by their moms and dads. Over the next three days, you are going to take a closer look at the Holocaust’s most innocent victims: the children who had only just begun to live their lives before the Nazi war machine bombarded the continent and exterminated them for being part of an “inferior” people.…
