Taylor Peebles English 11 19 April 2016 Prompt 3 Salem Witch Hunts vs. the Holocaust Have you ever been pushed away for being different? Well, if so, you are not the only ones. The Jews and witches that were accused were pushed away and even sentenced to death. In the time periods of 1692 and 1933-1945 were two big events. These events are known as the Salem witch trials and the Holocaust. They did not break any laws at the time, but we look at it now and know it was very wrong. Millions of…

The Holocaust is considered to be one of the most tragic events in history. Death was a common sight during this time and it eventually became a usual, everyday sight. People were forced from their families and sentenced to their deaths in concentration camps, much like Stutthof. There were hundreds of concentration camps where Jewish people were forced to work to their deaths. Most, if not all, of the brutal camps during World War Two caused an overwhelming amount of death and pain to Jews and…

One of these projects included constructing more barracks and other buildings to the camp. Prisoners built roads, drained marshes, and worked in gravel pits. They also contributed to the German armaments production. These tiring jobs overworked the starving people and led to many deaths. The SS troops…

We jump to Mr. Trump claiming false accusations against Hillary Clinton and former president Barrack Obama (Apuzzo), to building a wall across Mexico and spending taxpayers money (Raju), and having ties with Russia (Ackerman). Mr. Trump should impeached, and there are many reasons why he is not the best choice for America. On March 4th, current president Donald Trump had accused former president Barrack Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower (Stracqualursi). As the President of the United States, Mr.…

Barrack Hussein Obama, a man so ambitious, that living the American Dream was a mere stepping stone on his way to forging history. Coming from a broken home and of bi-racial heritage, Obama knew that the odds were stacked against him and that hard work would not be enough to reach the ultimate goal. Upon making it to the Senate, immediately set his sights on the Presidency, and in authentic Machiavellian form, he knew that if he could emulate a greater man, not care about breaking promises,…

jewelry, food, and purses were taken from them. They slept under the stars or in a very plain cell. The conditions were brutal. The prisoners living quarters were barracks. Each barrack had one washroom and a couple toilets. The toilets were shared among thousands of people, although most of the time the plumbing did not even work. The barracks were extremely overcrowded. The food was meager and each prisoner was only allowed small rations every day. They had to work for 9-12 hours every day.…

come up, but the temperature was still below freezing; there was not even so much as a head in the bus, so we pissed in coffee cups. Finally, we drove through the gate at Fort Leonard Wood into the recruiting area, which turned out to be old WW2 barracks. Standing up from the backbreaking seats…

World War II after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor. The United States’ citizens and government officials were suspicious of the Japanese-Americans being disloyal to their country. This fear became the reason many people lived in military-style barracks surrounded by barbed wire fences and guards at an internment camp (Interview 2). What was life like to live there for the duration of the war? How did the Japanese-Americans feel? This topic was of interest to me because of the camp’s lasting…
