A great leader named John Quincy Adams said “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a LEADER.” People all over the world are leaders whether that means the President and Vice President of the United States of America, student council President or Vice President, captain of a sports team and etc. What you do and say determines whether you will go down in history as a great leader or a bad leader. For example John C. Maxwell said this “A LEADERS…

There is no true pure blood American yet that does not stop anyone from bashing immigrants. It is as true today as in the nineteen hundred. Nativists, or those who believe that immigrants pose a threat to the American people find any number of reasons for not wanting migrants in their home. The most typical being that they the immigrants are here to steal their jobs. Typically these jobs are ones no “American” wants to work. However, that does not stop the train of thought…

To what extend, was Raoul Wallenberg the Swedish diplomat a spy, a double agent or simple a, humanitarian when he was arrested on July 17, 1947? Raoul Wallenberg “ the Swedish diplomat who saved thousands jews during World War 2”, was arrested by soviet troops, on July 17, 1947. It’s still an unresolved mystery why he was arrested, but the people who were saved by his actions have made sure his legacy lives on. He is also recognized as one of the most famous 20th century’s humanitarian heroes.…

I built more knowledge upon is that the Nazis killed a lot more people than just the Jews. Almost 6 million Jews were killed, and anti-semitic remarks are still made, whether jokingly or not it is still hard for me to wrap my head around why people would do something like that after such an injustice occurred to that religion. This goes for the others that were killed, like I said before, such as African-Americans,…

In the Second World War, millions of Jews were deported from their homes and transported to concentration camps, death camps that almost certainly sealed their fate. This was all done under Hitler’s “regime”. In the end of World War Two, 6 million Jews passed away by execution. Did they have any freedom to do anything about their fate? Every man, woman and child had a certain freedom to do what was right and change their fate, everyone of them has a choice to try not to die, but could they?…

completely wrapped in bandages. This man’s name was Karl, and was an SS soldier. “I must tell you this horrible deed—tell you because you are a Jew” (Wiesenthal 30). He told Simon a story about how he came to be in the Hitler Youth and what his parents were like; his father didn't approve. Then continued to tell him a story of how they were ordered to cram Jews into houses petrol cans and shot at them with machine guns, then threw hand grenades through the windows of the houses, causing them to…

The Holocaust was an event of sadness and cruelty, as the Nazis invaded several areas of Western Europe. The Holocaust, furthermore, began on January 30,1933 and ended on May 8, 1945. The start of the unfair treatment towards the Jews began in January, as President Hindenburg appointed Adolf Hitler as the Chancellor of Germany. “Combining his talents for speaking with his drive and motivation, Hitler began to scale the political ladders, eventually taking over the whole German government and…

time known as the holocaust changed the Jewish nation forever. The word Holocaust by definition means “a great or complete devastation or destruction, especially by fire” (Dictionary.com) and that’s what it was. From 1933 to 1945 six million European Jews lost their lives simply because they were Jewish. Unfortunately, I lost all of my extended family during this time period, however I am fortunate enough to have had four survivors in my family, but only have one still alive today. This time…

The Holocaust Jews like many other minority groups, have a time in their history, where they were left out. During the WWII era, an infamous event took place took place against Jewish people that shocked the world. This event is known as the Holocaust. My stepdad’s family like many other families during that time, lived in fear of being sent to concentration camps or being killed off by the Nazi administration. My stepdad told me how his family attempted to flee from Germany and their…

persecution of Jews was mainly because Adolf Hitler proposed an idea that the reason Jewish people refused to convert to Christianity was because they were Christ killers (Shawn 2). Hitler had a philosophy that combined hostility with racism. According to Hitler Anti-Semitism preached a myth that Jewishness was a passage of a negative physical and/or mental characteristic which transmitted from blood thus could never be changed(Shawn 2). Hitler created an image in his head that Jewish…
