Aftermath of the Holocaust

On the night of November 9th, 1938, the Nazis placed a series of massive coordinated attacks on the Jews throughout the German Reich. This incident was known as The Night of Broken Glass, or Kristallnacht. The Night of Broken Glass was one of the many brutal and tragic events that the Jews suffered through during Hitler’s power. Jewish homes, businesses, synagogues, schools, and lives were lost during this ferocious attack. Kristallnacht will forever be remembered as a night that will not be…

Even though it may seem like a story out of a horrific fairytale, the events of the Holocaust are very real. One of the most gruesome parts of the Holocaust was of the Babi Yar Massacre. This affected the population of Jews and outside countries. See as how Hews escaped, were treated, ignored, and forgotten during and after this took place as one of history’s worst tragedies.

risen to power if not for World War I… and its aftermath” (Brown 19). This conveys the chance he had to become a leader, and through taking advantage of the German people through lies, manipulation, and propaganda, Hitler could further accomplish his agenda. I agree with the author of the article. There is no way to tell whether it could happen, but nonetheless there is still a chance. However, since something as traumatic as WWII and the Holocaust…

knowledge of the event, which has evolved through access of documentaries, and news shows have provided me with a foundational understanding of the attack and the pivotal roles that the emergency services played both during the attack and in the aftermath of the event. As I review the picture, it suggests a comradery between the two firemen in the devastation and terrible loss of life.In viewing the picture and seeing the dust which is literally setting on the site, a series of questions emerged…

is not recognized as a genocide is because it is usually not compared to other genocides throughout human history. There is no way to compare the mass killing of innocent people, but if we were to compare the Holocaust and the Parsley Massacre, most scholars would contend that the Holocaust was much worse than the Parsley Massacre and much more detrimental to human society. This comparison holds true for most of the more famous and well-known genocides throughout world history, leaving the…

The Holocaust was one of the most documented and widely talked about massacres known to mankind. The torture and devastation that was brought about to the victims of that time is widely documented and memorials and museums have been erected across the globe in remembrance. But the assault and torture that the victims felt was not purely physical but psychological as well. The physical pains, though tremendous, stay with a singular generation for their entire lives. The psychological pains…

It was obvious to Job’s friends to conclude that Job must have earned his punishment by committing at least one evil sin. “God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evildoers.” (Job 8:20) Basically, his friends were explaining that good people are rewarded, while evil people are punished on the other side of the spectrum.

[The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators.

They kept suffering in the form of PTSD until their deaths after their time in the camps. Sonia Reich was reported to have been seen screaming that someone was trying to kill her, while running out of her house (Rosenthal 1). Sonia experienced the holocaust as a pre-adolescent Jew who ran away to America post-wartime after her entire family had been killed (Rosenthal 1). Many more people continued to suffer after the war with PTSD for the rest of their lives. The boys on the island in Lord of…

pogroms intensity. The name given to the pogrom was invented to mocks the Jews on that very dark November night. After Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party got a taste of the victory from their violence towards the Jews, they wanted more and more. Once the Holocaust came under way only vengeance and hate poured out from the Nazis. Europe’s lack of involvement or understanding of what was going on showed the power Hitler had to control the media and create lies to his people to show great strength in…
