Sadly, they also all took place in the book Night, by Elie Wiesel. His memoir can attest to how…

die. This is what the Jews faced during the Holocaust. Six million Jews were murdered during the Holocaust and World War II (“Why did Hitler hate Jews?” by Anne Frank). Half of the Jewish population was wiped out. Jews were hated because of malicious lies made up by Hitler and the Nazis. Hitler and the Nazis had convinced Germans that Jews had been responsible for certain events like losing World War I and the economic crisis. They convinced them to fix these problems the Jews needed to be wiped…

During the Holocaust, the Germans were willing to kill millions of Jews because the Nazi theology taught them to see Jews as subhumans. The Jews were considered objects who did not have the right to freedom, dignity, or life. The terrible things that Jews, as well as other people who do cruel things to people and animals, is said to be the result of dehumanization, Vox explained the conventional explanation.

The bad treatment of the Jews began in late 1938 before Germany was at the brink of war by this year the Jews were being discriminated against being banned from most public places.

because of the comparison of past attitudes to present attitudes and the current amount of tolerance in the United states. Among many people killed during the Holocaust, Jews, as well as Polish and homosexual people were killed. They were killed because of their nationality, and beliefs.

If one was to look back at persecution of different nationalities in America in the 1920s, one would…

The Immortal Jew In his essay titled Concerning the Jews, Mark Twain wrote: "If the statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one-quarter of one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous puff of star dust lost in the blaze of the Milky Way. Properly, the Jew ought hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of. He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk.”1 The Jewish…
