The Holocaust was the worst genocide in the world because the Nazis killed people of any age, the concentration camps had the worst possible conditions, and the Nazis treated the prisoners like animals. One reason the Holocaust was the worst genocide in the world is the Nazis killed people of any age. One piece of…

regime taking over who or whatever stood in their way to world domination, no lone country stood a chance at even partial interruption of this totalitarianism. The allied forces, mainly the United States, Great Britain, the United Kingdom, Russia, and France, combined together and did their best to combat the German army. Though they were a great threat, there is no way they could have won the war without the help of the French Resistance. The French Resistance aided the allies of World War II…

Ellie Weisel’s novel The Night and Shirley Wachtel’s In My Mother’s Shoes are as much similar as they are different. Both novels narrate the details of those who were forced to live in the concentration camps for years. In My Mother’s Shoes is told from Holocaust survivor, Blima, and her daughter, Shirley, and switches from each of them throughout the novel. Although In My Mother’s Shoes is told from two view points it can be viewed as three because Betty is Blima’s American name and only…

for the rapid fall of France in 1940. Some, if not most, of the attention is given to Hitler’s blitzkrieg style of invasion as a main reason for France’s crushing defeat, but there were many other factors that compounded the devastation that was associated with Hitler’s war on France. As I will highlight, the German advance via the “all new” tank tactics of the time was an extremely devastating driving force that was the tip of the spear but, it should also be noted that France it’s self was a…

If I had to choose one film that represents Hollywood’s involvement in the Second World War, it would have to be Michael Curtiz’s 1942 film “Casablanca” . Examining just this film demonstrates the reasons to study the war films, especially with those produced during the war. From this type of film, we get the producers, directors writers and actors viewpoint reflected in the story that they are producing. The film is, from the producers’ time view, about current events thereby the film will…

Today, 89 percent of magazines sold in Canada are foreign, most of which are American. ( From Class Material). Just imagine this statement, it seems Canadian people depend on foreign entertainment.

The encounter between the French and the aboriginals during the establishment and development of New France affected the aboriginal population in several ways.

What is morality? Surely it can’t be taking men, women, and children to a camp because you don’t like the color of their skin, their religion, or even what people from their home country have done. Sure, the Japanese bombed us first. But does that make it right to bomb them back? Twice at that. In my opinion, no. No matter how dangerous the enemy is, it is never right to attack innocent men, women and children. I feel that america was too afraid and tired of the war to realize that the japanese…

The fiend fire could not be stopped. The doors that would free the six-hundred workers were locked shut, imprisoning the young girls in a man-made flaming hell. The manager attempted to use the fire hose to extinguish it, but the hose was rotted and its valve was rusted shut. Running from the incinerator, many stuffed themselves into the two freight elevators, operated by Gaspar Mortillaro and Joseph Zito who both returned to the inferno over and over, saving a hundred and fifty people. Still,…
