Aftermath of the Holocaust

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. Jews were forced to overcome absurd emotional and physical obstacles, and many were killed. Out of the approximate ten million Jews alive before the Holocaust, only about four million survived. In 1945, Anglo-Americans and the Soviets discovered…

Victor, the creator, will always carry this guilt, which eventually kills him,…

In the aftermath of the Holocaust, it is necessary to understand exactly what happened and who has absolute authority to explicate those experiences. According to Michael André Bernstein, “one of the most pervasive myths of our era . . . is the absolute authority given to first-person testimony.” He argues that it should not be widely held that survivors have “the most true, the most unmediated, the most trustworthy” testimonies or stories. However, I argue that Bernstein’s assertion of this…

place in “Maus” by Art Spiegelman where Vladek, Art’s father, recounts the story of the ghastly holocaust and how this relationship effects both of them. Even though Spiegelman doesn’t outright say that the story is also about his relationship with his father, it is clearly presented in the graphic novel.

"11 million people were killed during the holocaust.” (The Holocaust, 2014) The holocaust served Jews with being humiliated at home, on the streets, and in concentration camps where they were starved, shaved, and killed by gas chambers. There was a remarkable impact of life changing experiences during the aftermath of the holocaust with having to move to different states and not always knowing where there families are. The holocaust was very devastating in many ways. It all began in 1933 and…
