Holocaust Museum Paper Holocaust Memorial Center in Farmington Hills, MI The Holocaust was perhaps the most saddening and savage accomplishment of the human race. Derived from the Greek words holos and kaustos, meaning “whole burnt”, the Holocaust is more formally known as the systematic genocide of almost six million Jews and five million non-Jewish victims by German Nazis during the 1930s and 1940s. Auschwitz-Birkenau was the most prominent of the many concentration camps during the Nazi…

the media. Peter Eisenman recently stated in an article that, "I believe that my Holocaust memorial in Berlin could no longer be built today” (“Berlin Holocaust Memorial Wouldn’t Be Built Today, Says Peter Eisenman” 2016). The statement came as a result of the current president and today’s current xenophobic environment. No longer could something be created and well appreciated to honor the lives lost during the Holocaust, it would honor one while offending and enraging another. The memorial…

Heroes of the Holocaust The holocaust was a horrific period that was all about WWII and Adolf Hitler. Adolf Hitler was looking to create an Aryan Race which, in his eyes, was the perfect race. As time passed, he and his Nazi regime created the Final Solution. This plan included the decimation of the Jewish population. However, there were many who found this solution immoral and inhumane. Some of these brave souls took it into their own hands to protect the lives of the Jews, even if it cost…

Jewish Women during the Holocaust The Holocaust was one of the darkest eras in world history. It was an extermination of millions of Jews by the Nazi regime during World War II. Every Jew, regardless of gender, was equally a victim in the Holocaust. Men, women and children suffered slow and painful deaths of starvation and cruelty. Though men and children suffered similar experiences, women suffer the worst for survival. According to Memorial Museum, Nazi ideology targeted Roma (Gypsy) women,…

The effects of the Holocaust were a mass genocide and the removal of all rights from the Jewish people. The long term effects on the world were the changes to international law and PTSD for survivors of these events.…

further understand a certain topic. The following questions I have thought about for a long time and I am searching for answers still. Why did God allow for something as bad as the Holocaust to happen? Even though God gave us free will, why did he not intervene at times? Something as horrendous as the Holocaust should never have happened because God should had stopped one person’s motives for the sake of 6 million others. Are the lives of over 6 million Jews not more valuable as…

The Holocaust was an eventful time in history. A lot of things happened that people do not even realize. The holocaust not only affected Jewish people, it also targeted homosexual, women and children. A topic I found interesting about the holocaust was the idea of hidden children. It has rarely been talked about how they hid the identities of Jewish children by given them fake papers and hid them in different places during the holocaust so they could survive. The Hidden children of the…

Rescuers of the Holocaust Courage, sacrifice, discipline, memorization, and detail are only some of the words to describe people that risked their lives for Jews. Many of them were Christians who came from every religious background: Protestant, Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and Muslim. (USHMM Rescue) Sometimes one individual would take on the risk of providing for the Jews they wanted to hide. Rescuers played a key role in the Holocaust, but they did face many challenges, risk being caught, and…
