Israeli Jews

Life in the Ghettos Ghettos are an urban section of a city serving as compulsory residential quarter for Jews. Ghettos were generally surrounded by a wall shutting if off from the rest of the city. The Germans created a station in which hard labor, malnutrition, overcrowding, and substandard contributed to the death of a large number of Jews. For every ghetto, the German authorities appointed a Judenrat, which was usually composed of Jewish leaders acceptable to the community. Ghetto life was…

“You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” That was a line from the critically-acclaimed movie Batman: The Dark Knight Rises. It shows that many people in this day and age have different viewpoints on whether or not someone can be viewed as a hero or villain. In most cases, a person can be determined a hero by some and a villain by others because of the person’s actions or how the people interpret the person in question, in other words, their feelings about…

During the years 1933 through 1945 (the holocaust) approximately six million Jewish people were killed. We now know how many of those Jews felt from the “Diary of Anne Frank.” Anne Frank was a Jew in hiding with her family and four others. She is one of the best authors because of her excellent and descriptive way of writing. From that diary many people can that those ordinary people were heros. Although some are convinced that ordinary people can not be heros because they don't have superpowers…

They didn’t have a lot of places to go because the germans were raiding every city trying to make it jew free. Jewish shops, factories, and homes were being broken into just so that the jews would not be able to make any income and will slowly end up dying. This on the other hand helped the other german businesses because they were the only ones working. Other times german soldiers would kill jews on the streets because everyone was too scared to stop them from doing so because it will result in…

experiments. Dr. Mengele went to the absolute extreme by not only performing life threatening experiments, but by also not feeling any sorrow for his actions and not using anesthetics for surgeries as painful as amputations. What he did to so many innocent Jews, people with disabilities, and others should have haunted him till the day he died. But, sadly that is not what happened because for the most unusual reason, Mengele did not feel as though he did anything wrong. He was responsible for…

By no means is it a simply answered question. Why did Hitler pick the Jews? Perhaps it could be said it was an irrational hatred to go after so many of a people. Hitler had a long stemming hatred for the Jewish people. Perhaps it can be rooted back to his childhood or his family lineage. Both are questioned by historians world wide, but nothing can be proven for a fact. The jewish people were not the only negative benefactors in hitlers psycopatical genocide. Granted they were the largest group.…

to take measures into their own hands. The ZOB took the ghetto police chief Josef Szerynski and the second in command Yakov Lejkin in planning to execute them. They killed Lejkin but only managed to wound Szerynski. When the Nazis realized that the Jews would no longer go the death camps like sheep to a slaughter they decided to send even more people to Treblinka to stop the numbers rebelling…
