Holocaust research

Also, the memory of the Holocaust has proven to be unbearable as it has left long lasting mental effects on the characters. The Nazi government systemically attacked and persecuted the Jews with brutal violence and sent millions of them to concentration camps. As a result, Spiegelman’s family has been traumatized and has “children of holocaust survivors growing up with the simultaneous presence and absence of the Holocaust memory in their lives” (Kohli, 2012, p. 2). In fact, “Maus is not about…

The holocaust was a time of misery and death. It was one of the worst times in history. A mass murder of over 6 million Jews under the order of Adolf Hitler. But why did Hitler do this? Was this his plan all along or is that what he had to resort to in order to eliminate the inferior “race of the Jews?” Why he did he have such a strong belief in superiority of the German Aryan race? In in 1939, Hitler was in power in Nazi Germany. Jews feared for their lives. Simply walking down the street…

Using inhumane violence and public belief, the Gestapo, Green Police, and SS struck fear into the hearts of German citizens and Jews during the World War II. To understand how the Gestapo spread fear throughout Europe, one must understand the beliefs and values of a newly-formed Gestapo Soldier. As the Daily Beast explains, “Ordinary policemen were transformed into ideological zealots, trained to root out communists, homosexuals, slaves, gypsies, the work shy… and persecute them without mercy.”…

The Holocaust began with Adolf Hitler’s want to get rid of the entire population of Jewish people living in Europe. In Germany, one of his tactics to achieve this goal was the passing of the Nuremberg Laws. To ensure the total dehumanization of Jews the Nazi party enforced two laws that stripped them of their rights, affected where they could live and work, and invited mistreatment from the Aryan people around them On September 15, 1935 Hitler and the Nazi party passed the Nuremberg Laws that…

Greece. Malnutrition and famine were not the only two causes that killed, thousands of civilians were executed by the Nazi forces and retaliation for the partisan activities. The Jewish community in Greece, was mostly eradicated as a part of the Holocaust. the percentage of the total pre-war Jewish population of Greece that perished was 81%. The social upheaval would be the most bitter and longest-lasting legacy of the Nazi occupation of Greece. with the side-lining of the old political elites…

Yossarian, the real anti-hero of his time War, cruel, controlling, demanding, a place were suffering, determination, and courage intertwine at once and surround the average soldier taken out of his warm Ohio home. As a second world war broke out in September 1, 1939 to bring 6 years of great anguish and suffering, thousands of civilians were called for war and taken to unknown frontiers. These people faced the control of demanding superiors, the scary, thundering sound of bombs, the constant…

did the film show me only a glimpse of how horrifying the holocaust is, but also depicted how love and the indomitability of humanity stood even in the midst of inhumanity. What truly shocked me was that despite being in such an abhorrent time, such affection and emotion was able to make its way back to families. Much alike “Life is beautiful”, “The Boy in the Striped Pajamas” was a film that contrasted not only, the darkness of the holocaust, but also the friendship that formed. The thing that…

“One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood” (Lucius Annaeus Seneca). Beautiful friendship can only be received if there is understanding between each person. The Chosen, by Chaim Potok, is about two Jewish boys living in Brooklyn, New York, towards the end of World War II era. A disagreement between two contradicting viewpoints of the same religion about the Jewish homeland and tradition is what causes a stir of emotion that becomes the basis of…

The person I chose as my unsung hero is Chaplain Father Emil Kapaun, because he gave his life serving the soldiers in the Korean War and even while being held prisoner he continued serving the soldiers and encouraging them in captivity. He qualifies as an unsung hero because he always put his life at risk to help others that were wounded, to retrieve them, to give them their last rites, not minding the fact that he could be shot dead at any time. He also risked his life many times in prisoner…

a. I think it was very courageous of Annemarie to believe that all the people of Denmark is a bodyguard to all the Jews from the German’s solider. After Annemarie heard the story about how Denmark love their King. The King can venture out into town without having solider by his side to protect him. This means that the people of Denmark respect and follow their King. Because of that, the King do no need solider because he trust the people of Demark to not attack him, but protect him with all…
