Concentration Camp Reflection

The Holocaust is an event that will be remembered by millions all across the world for forever. The Nazi regime and its collaborators took the innocent lives of approximately eleven million Jews, Jehovah's Witnesses, Roma Gypsies, Courageous Resisters, Priests and Pastors, homosexuals and disabled people between the years of 1933 and 1945. 1.5 of them being young children. Many blameless families were captured and sent to be separated at the Concentration Camps. Being a child during the Holocaust must have been really difficult and scary, because you were taken away from your family and put with people you don't even know. I can only imagine how scarring and scary it must of been to have to watch the adults get hung up and choked to death. As you can tell, the pictures on my collage are very brutal, cruel and barbaric.

Hitler ultimately started a world war to achieve his goal of world domination. Hitler’s plan was very inhuman. The pictures that I found online of the Concentration Camps seemed to be very dark, empty and cold. The people in the camps were only served a meal once a week and whenever they were served food, it would be a very innutritious meal. People had so little to eat to the point where they just became all bones. Everyone slept in small bunks that they shared with 2-3 people. Adults and sometimes kids would work all day everyday to the point where they would die of exhaustion. Overall the Holocaust was a very sad and horrible event that occurred and I hope that in the future we can prevent things like this from happening
