Recommended: Rise and fall of Hitler

The Kindertransport saved the lives of many children it was devastating on what had to happen in order to keep them safe. After Adolph Hitler became Germany's leader, he rose to power. Jewish families were concerned about their children because they were in danger. People in Britain and other European countries responded by helping them out by hosting them and bringing them into their country. Jewish parents in Germany and people in other countries worked together by people in other countries allowing Jewish children from Germany to come stay in their country and the Jewish parents sending their kids to a different counties. I believe the claim is true because if Jewish parents didn't send their kids to Germany and if other countries didn't

    The extermination of Jewish people during World War II was a horrific and merciless event that was effectively stopped by the Allies. Once the Allies became aware of the Holocaust, they immediately took action to end it. There have been countless suggestions of what the Allies could have done to prevent the Holocaust, however those would not have been as effective as the solution the Allies had put in place. Despite arguments that the Allies did not make a strong attempt to saving the Jews, by putting all their resources into the complete defeat of Nazi Germany, they were essentially doing all they could.

    World War II was one of the most deadly wars we know in history, having as many as sixty million casualties, most of whom were civilians. It impacted a lot of countries, almost all the world, which is why the name is given. This war impacted many countries in the world, and damaged almost all of the countries involved greatly. It also led to the downfall of Western European countries as world powers, leaving it to the Soviet Union, and the United States. The war started in 1939 and ended in 1945, with the invasion of Poland and the Axis surrender, respectively. It changed the economy and the growth of big countries, including Germany, Great Britain, United States, Japan, Russia and France. Aside from this, Jews were greatly influenced too.

  • Nazi Medical Experiments

    The experimentation that went on in the concentration camps was horrific and without care or value for human life. Over 70 different medical research experiments were held involving over 7,000 prisoners and 200 doctors. Of the experiments that were conducted some relevant data has survived and proved to be helpful in treating and forming other experiments that have gone on to save lives. Perhaps the greatest lasting memory of the Holocaust is that now people are more aware of segregation happening and are more likely an advocate for any race, nationality, or geographical location that is being treated with no regard.

  • The Invention of Flying Cars

    862 Words  | 2 Pages

    There are many inventions of the future that people either know or hope will happen and some inventions that people have never thought that would happen in this or the next lifetime. For instance, one piece of future technology that I believe may come to pass is the invention of flying cars. Since the time of being young and watching the Jetsons, many people have been waiting to see the first flying car. While bringing up the idea of a flying car to a lot of people would seem absurd or downright impossible to some, I actually believe that it is very much so possible to create given how far technology has come in the past few decades. I think that it is a very logical conclusion to assume that at some point in the future engineers, car makers, and others will start to pursue other alternatives to avoiding traffic jams and other problems on the road, and instead begin to examine the possibilities of taking to the air as an alternative solution. There is much talk about it over the internet and many people would like to try flying cars. While it would greatly improve traffic for those that prefer staying on the ground, it may prove dangerous in the beginning because of accidents in the air with other cars, planes, trees, and buildings. Some would say though, that the convenience would outweigh the risks because there would not be traffic jams, or detours because of road work. These cars would need something like a GPS system and an anti-wrecking system so people would not run into each other or other objects (How Flying Cars Will Work).
