The Holocaust

in our lives are brought up to make us grow and become stronger from them. They may be the worst thing that could possibly happen but in the end it all makes it worthwhile because we learn what we did wrong and how not to let it happen again. The holocaust was one of these situations. I believe that as a whole, meaning the whole world, that we learned from this event and have grown and know how to prevent it from happening again and better yet, stopping it if it ever does happen again. I once…

anti-Semitism was embraced by the Soviet troops and the Anglo-Saxons and it had spread to several parts of Europe. Adolf Hitler walks away from the Holocaust not only the reason for the millions of mass murders that he organized, but also the psychological suffering of the people of Germany after the termination of his reign. The aftermath is just as damaging as the Holocaust itself, which was considered the one of the most gruesome, destructive, devastating times in history alone. Adolf…

It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back” (241). This quote can be applied to many situations through history, but specifically to the Holocaust. Many times in history, society was made to believe that their practices or situations were morally right, but it was eventually realized that these practices were, in fact, wrong. Some could say that this realization occurs when…

activities they took part in “like a maggot in a rotten body.” (Rice, p.19) Although all these victims had to suffer there are many today that still believe that the Holocaust never existed. Many who claim the Holocaust never happened use the same main points to try and support their view. For instance some of the claims that these Holocaust deniers make are that the gas chambers in many camps had no trace of poisonous gases and were not real, that…

a Polish Jew during the Holocaust. An amazing story from a survivor’s point of view, in the form of a comic depicting different nationalities as animals like Jewish as mice, Polish as pigs, German as cat, American as dogs, etc. I think this is a great way to deescalate the hatred toward a certain group or nationality. Maus deliver people to view a story from more of a fairytale perspective separating the current feeling and attitude of those who know about the holocaust because the characters…

The Holocaust is an event that has changed the world and is continuing to be studied. In the graphic novel, Maus by Art Spiegelman, Valdec and his family have suffered and are continuing to suffer with the burden of this traumatic event. Art does not paint everyone as perfect human beings, he shows their faults, triumphs, and struggles. He paints an accurate picture of the aftermath of his father and their complicated relationship. The Art Spiegelman’s, Maus, should be Mayor Kevin Faulconer…

an estimated population of 2.7 million people. If you were to add the population of those two cities together, you would end up with about 10.8 million people. That is a lot of people, but guess how many people died in the holocaust? About 11 million people died in the holocaust. Anne Frank, a young girl, was one of those many people who died in this genocide. Anne and her family went into hiding for two years after Anne’s older sister received a letter ordering her to report to a work camp in…

The holocaust was the most unique genocide in history. The Nazis wanted to exterminate all Jewish people, or anyone who they thought were inferior, for example: homosexuals, the handicapped, and etcetera. The Nazis committed horrible crimes that dehumanized people, for example, genocide. During the holocaust, many dehumanizing acts known as crimes against humanity were committed. Crimes against humanity are war crimes, genocide, terrorism, and other hate crimes (“Introduction to crimes against…

The Holocaust was one of the worst genocides of all time. “Holocaust is a word of Greek origin meaning ‘sacrifice by fire’” (www.ushmm.org). Which meant that people had to sacrifice by getting burnt and that’s what Adolf Hitler did during the massacre. It was the cause of the death of six million Jewish People. “Before the Second World War, population of Poland was 3.5 million. Today there are between 3,000 and 4,000 left” (www.oskarschindler.com). The Nazis were the reason why the Holocaust…
