Additional Victims of the Holocaust There were many things that happened over the years of the Holocaust, but the most notable of those was the killing of so many people. But the Jewish people were not the only ones that were hunted. Many non-Jewish groups of people were persecuted and killed in the Holocaust. Some of these other groups were Gypsies, homosexuals, Soviet soldiers, Polish citizens, and the mentally and physically disabled and ill. After all this time, the death toll is in - roughly
Victims of Persecution by the Nazis The number of victims persecuted by the Nazis is truly jaw dropping. The Holocaust is largely remembered for the genocide of six million Jews, but many are unaware of the other victims. According to A Teacher’s Guide to the Holocaust persecution occurred if you had undesirable genetic or cultural origins, not to mention health conditions. In the Nazis eyes, this included Jews, Gypsies, Poles/Slavs, political dissidents, disabled, Jehovah’s witnesses, homosexuals
During the tragic times of the German Holocaust, many innocent people were brutally murdered. Jews were not the only victims during this dark time. Roma (gypsies), Poles and other Slavs, the mentally and/or physically disabled, Jehovah’s Witnesses, homosexuals, African-German children, priests and pastors, and many other miscellaneous groups all fell victim of persecution and murder by the Nazis for various reasons. According to A Teachers Guide to the Holocaust, the nomadic people from northwest India

The most well known victims of the Holocaust were of course, the Jews. However, approximately 11 million people were killed in the holocaust, and of those, there were only 6 million Jews killed. The other 5 million people were the Gypsies, Pols, Political Dissidents, Handicapped, Jehovah’s witnesses, Homosexuals and
trauma victims to deal with the burden of keeping their painful memories just for the sake of others, and the Council mentions this specifically during one of their hearings. This obligation seems to fall disproportionately on those who have to deal with more intense trauma than others. It is unfair to place the same obligation on, say, respectfully, car crash victims than on Holocaust victims. For victims, the memories are almost impossible to endure, but for others who hear about the Holocaust on a
the pain lessens. But it is never gone.” - Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy The Holocaust was the persecution of Jewish individuals from January 30th, 1933 to May 8th, 1945. During this time, a documented 6 million Jews were killed. This was all organized by Adolf Hitler and his cabinet of convicts. Literature can help us honor and remember the victims of the Holocaust. Pieces like, Anne Frank’s Diary, help us honor the victims who went through similar situations to Anne’s or the exact same situation Anne
Jews in the Holocaust. The Holocaust began in 1933, when Adolf Hitler came to power and ended in 1945, when the Nazis were defeated. Jews were forced to live in certain areas of a city called ghettos, then about one thousand Jews were taken to concentration camps or death camps every day. In the concentration camps, countless Jews were tortured and killed, and in the death camps, people were burned and murdered. Many books and other types of literature have been written about the victims of the Holocaust
“gay agenda” or minimize the terrible events endured by Jews and other prisoners of the camps and victims of the Holocaust. This is only to inform, and open your eyes to something that you have probably not been taught about. Also, in this essay, I use the word homosexual and gay interchangeably, and it applies as an umbrella term to all “Pink Triangles” and other LGBT members killed in the Holocaust. A man’s back breaks with a sickening crunch, and hundreds of others scream in pain, their shouts
Those of half and quarter Jewish descent remain largely forgotten in the history of the Third Reich and genocide of the Holocaust. Known as Mischlinge, persons of deemed “mixed blood” or “hybrid” status faced extensive persecution and alienation within German society and found themselves in the crosshairs of a rampant National Socialist racial ideology. Controversially, these people proved somewhat difficult to define under Nazi law that sought to cleave the Volk from the primarily Jewish “other”
generations in understanding different perspectives of the past which have formerly been glossed over. This essay will argue that oral history has given a voice to the victims of the Holocaust as in the past, there was no recorded evidence
The Continuing Impacts of the Holocaust on Families Analyzed through German Literature “Mainly I remember ARGUING with him… and being told that I couldn’t do anything as well as he could” – Art “And now that you’re becoming successful, you feel bad about proving your father wrong.” – Pavel “No matter what I accomplish, it doesn’t seem much compared to surviving Auschwitz.” Art Maus Volume 2, Page 44 The second portion of the semester has had a focus on how the Holocaust has continued to cause devastation
comport with each other, and neither of them comport with Lady Lazarus’ classification as a performer. This triangle of confusion is just the beginning of Lady Lazarus’ amorphous being. Lady Lazarus’ comparison to a Jewish person experiencing the Holocaust is as troubling as it is confusing. From describing herself as “turn[ing] and burn[ing],” [18] “A cake of soap,/A wedding ring,/A gold
Exposed in The Victim of Aulis During World War II, an entire race of people was decimated as a result of blind adherence to one charismatic ruler; the holocaust has become emblematic of the senseless horror of war and the loss of innocent lives. Perhaps influenced by World War II, the Korean War, and the questioning of complete adherence to authority, whose seeds were just breaking through the glorious façade of the 1950's suburban idyll, Dannie Abse wrote "The Victim of Aulis" in 1951-6
In his novel The Chosen, Chaim Potok writes about a boy, Reuven Malter, from Brooklyn who is going through his coming-of-age period and experiences as a Jewish student. Throughout The Chosen, themes of friendships, reaching maturity, and understanding unravel and seep into Reuven Malter’s life. In this period of maturing, some pivotal moments occur, changing Reuven’s view of others and understanding of relationships. In the first couple chapters, Reuven was doing so well with baseball and fit in
The poem "shooting stars" by Carol Ann. Duffy is characterized by a constant use of imagery that helps the reader understand the oppression and conflict represented in the Holocaust. The poem is from the point of view of a woman that died and was a victims of the Nazis, and makes the public relive and comprehend the time of suffering of the Jewish by Hitler in order to accomplish his final solution, in order to make the readers feel sorry for them. The first stanza opens up by saying "after I no
Medical Experiments of the Holocaust As a society we place those in the medical profession on a pedestal. They are people to be looked up to and admired. In many ways they are Gods, right here with us on earth. People put the hope and faith in doctors hoping they can perform miracles. Throughout history, doctors have indeed preformed many wonders. There were, however, some doctors that betrayed this belief and peoples trust. These doctors could be found in concentration camps such as Auschwitz and
It has been sixty years since the Holocaust and to some it may feel like ancient history, but to others it still remains real and ever present. People around the world are still hurt by the Holocaust and in their heart will be scarred forever, but like anyone else that suffers a great tragedy like 911 or the Boston Marathon Bombings, they have to get back up. Jews and the millions of innocent victims all were knocked down a What do we have today? What do we have today? nd got back up in our hearts
yet some people do not believe it is a real disorder. This is mainly because Stockholm Syndrome is rarely studied, and it is not even in the bible of Psychology, the DSM V. Some argue that victims do not identify or bond with their captors, but that they are mostly too terrified to leave. Many of the victims of Stockholm Syndrome are usually women. The first time Stockholm Syndrome was discovered was back in 1974 in Norrmalmstorg, Stockholm, Sweden. One man took four hostages during a bank heist

Unfortunately, some victims may resort to harmful physical activities, such as cutting themselves, as a way to cope with the stress. In "The Dangers of Cyberbullying" by Brett Warnke, a psychologist discusses a bill that aims to hold cyberbullies accountable for any emotional or physical harm inflicted on their victims. Cyberbullying affects victims in various aspects
Many teenagers experience cyberbullying, whether they are the bullies themselves or the victims. To start off, cyberbullying is basically bullying through the internet using electronics such as phones, laptops, etc. Teenagers should stop cyberbullying because it is useless and only spreads negativity. We all want to live safely and in peace. Parents should be really careful with their children because the people surrounding them could really mess up their minds and lead them down the wrong path.
