Director Ron Fricke views history as cyclical. He sees mirror images in gemenschaft and gesellschaft societies. He also believes, just as Cohen did, that "the more things change, the more they stay the same" (Cohen 1). This cylical process is evident through the juxtapositions seen in the movie, Baraka. One of the key aspects of our society that is a mirror image of the past is war and violence. Fricke depicts a retired Air Force bomber, followed by a tour of auschwitz, a concentration camp…

When I first heard this year’s theme, “Standing Up in History,” the first thing that came to mind was the Holocaust and WWll. Remembering a book I had read a few years back titled “The Boy Who Dared” by Susan Bartoletti about Helmuth Hübene, the youngest person to be sentenced to death by the Nazi Regime, I immediately began to research other people and groups who stood up against Hitler. Soon after that, I stumbled across Sophie Scholl, a young woman in a non-violent resistance group, and began…

A Difference Can Be a Huge Change in the Past Everyone has a reason to make a difference in life. Some people do not truly find their reason. People can change history in many ways that they thought they can not even do. One of those men---was Oskar Schindler. Schindler was a great man to the jewish community. Jews praised him like a god...like a savior. Schindler saved a great deal of jews from being torchured, burned, raped, and killed…however, 1,200 jews that Oskar Schindler have bought with…

In many ways trump that he is not fit to be a president, one of the major ways is that he has learnt nothing from history and seems to be imitating on of the most visous dictators of the world time, Adolf hitler.

Hitler used racism to get power and blamed…

As said earlier anyone who wasn’t for Germany was against it, but some were persecuted simply because of their religion, their families religion, their background, or how they looked. The first to be targeted in Germany was the Jews. Hitler blamed Jews for Germany’s defeat in the first war. The persecution started in 1933 by banning Jews from certain professions and would occasionally boycott their shops. By 1935 the Nuremberg Laws were put in place, making Jews second class citizens and…

Throughout history, mass crimes have been a huge problem for society during times of war. During World War II, a lot of people suffered under the Hitler regime as a result of the atrocious crimes towards Jewish people. Today, atrocity mass crimes refer to the three legally defined international crimes of genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity; which Hitler was guilty of all three. Leaders forced soldiers to kill innocent people during war times. As mentioned in “The Sunflower” book,…

In January 1942 the leaders of the Nazi party met to discuss the “Final Solution of the Jewish Question” or the “Final Solution” which was the codename for the Nazi plan to massacre the Jewish people. During World War II it was implemented under the rule of Adolf Hitler the Führer of Nazi Germany. The persecution of Jews were dominant beliefs of Nazi principles. The Nuremberg laws implemented in 1935 made official the Nazi racial theories. These laws prohibited German Jews from Reich citizenship…

In this essay I will talk about how significant and how insignificant Gustav Stresemann was between 1923-1929. I believe that Gustav Stresemann was significant to a certain extent. At some points he wasn’t all that significant but during a lot of other points he was very significant. Stresemann was appointed Chancellor of Weimar on the death of Ebert and served in this position around August 1923 to November 1923. After this date, he was to remain as Weimar’s Foreign Minister until his death.…

Killing people is not a sport. Josef Mengele actions portrayed otherwise. All too many innocent Jewish citizens were affected by the Holocaust, including the ones who were randomly selected to get experimented on. Dr. Josef Mengele was born on March 16, 1911. He was the eldest of 3 sons. The town was terrified of Josef’s mom because of her terrible anger issues. His father owned a local plant that manufactured farming equipment. “Josef was a smart, popular kid and was a good student,”…
