The Second war started in 1939 and ended in 1945, and between these years of war there was a very serious event called the holocaust, where the Jews had no rights do things that other germans were able to do for example, they were not allowed to go out and meet other people, drive a car, try out sports-nothing. There were some people who had the courage to help the Jews from being taken to concentration camps, but there will be more information about helped the Jewish further into the essay.

Anti-Semitism, hatred or prejudice of Jews, has distressed the world for a long time, particularly during the Holocaust. The Holocaust was a severe tragedy that happened in the early 1940s and will forever be remembered. It is well known world wide as the genocide of approximately six million European Jews during World War II, an extermination by the German Nazis lead by Adolf Hitler. Strangely, there is a fair number of people in this world who don't fully believe of the Holocaust. These people are called Holocaust Revisionists; in a lower term, "deniers." Holocaust revisionists do believe the Holocaust existed; however, they disagree with majority of the evidence and facts supporting it. They suggest that survivor witnesses lied and evidence such as documents, videos, speeches, photographs, and films left behind are fake. The list can go on and on. Holocaust revisionists are wrong. The evidence and facts supporting the Holocaust is true. I chose this topic because i’m a guy who likes genocide, murders and prejudicism and many people will agree with me. It’s very interesting, knowing Hitlers choices, his anti-semitism and all his companions (nazis).

...s, also the Jews from Germany were not allowed to take their saving with them. Another Nazi option was the disposal of the Germans Jews was the Madagascar Plan. This was an option between the years 1938 to 1940. The Nazi idea was to make a reservation in the French colonial island of Madagascar. The problem with the Madagascar option was the Island’s geographical location: in the event of war, the Nazis were an easy target for the British.

The Holocaust changed our world today because it showed us a very frightening side to dictatorship and what happens when there are no checks and balances to keep one person from holding too much power. It affected Germany the most causing it to split into east and west when the Berlin Wall was constructed. Germany had also loss many rights including their military. This also led to alliances forming that still hold strong today.

Adolf Hitler turned everyone against the Jews because he believed that they were to wealthy and too powerful so he wanted to eliminate all of them. The Jews went through a lot of suffering and pain.

Ghetto Essay
636 Words | 2 Pages
German authorities explained that the areas known as ghettos were made in order to control and segregate the Jewish people. They also concentrated the Jewish people into large towns near rail lines as a step toward achieving the “final solution” for Jews. The “final solution” was the plan to exterminate all Jewish people from German society. The earliest ghetto was established in October 1939, in Piotrków Trybunalski, Poland. This was a small town before the war; it was only home to about six thousand residents. Although after it was turned into a ghetto the small town became something even worse than a prison. The Nazis incarcerated over twenty- eight thousand people at that location. The Jewish people did not hurt anyone or commit a crime, in ...

1272 Words | 3 Pages
It is often a topic that many are uncomfortable talking about and tend to push to the side. There is a very big problem with that though, people in this generation need to know what happened in the past and be fully educated on everything that happened, in order to help prevent something terrible like that from ever happening again. The Holocaust was caused by a very few distinct reasons. Hitler’s very strong belief of anti semitism and his extreme hatred for the Jewish community was among the most powerful of causes for the beginning of the Holocaust. Also , the various political, economic, and social problems that the country of Germany was facing during the time leading up to the second World War massively contributed. The Nazi Party’s effective use of propaganda, scapegoating, and their military strength were also very strong factors. These causes therefore were the reason why the Holocaust occurred, and it had very many effects that arose from its happening. Millions upon millions were dead after it had finally reached an end. The survivors suffered vast amounts of physical and mental pain and challenges. Finally, lots of books and websites were made about the Holocaust in order to provide information to people about the terrible event that had occurred.

The Holocaust: Genocide And The Holocaust
750 Words | 2 Pages
Holocaust I've thought, and thought about resistance in the Holocaust and I've come to this comprehension: No phrase or verse or detailed explanation can illustrate the level of terror and oppression that took place. The Holocaust was probably the most arguably infamous series of despiteful human rights and cold blooded murder in modern history. The rise of the powerful Adolf Hitler has set his war against Jewish people, Jewish culture and Jewish memory. If the twisted philosophy of the Nazi regime was to eradicate Jewish memory, then it is our duty to remember the Jewish lives that perished and to keep Jewish memory alive. There was approximately six million Jews were sent to death camps and killed during World War II (1939-1945). So what do you think that led up to this? Why Adolf Hitler hatred towards Jews is so strong that made him did the inhuman cruel murder? Well the resolution lies in the ethnic undercurrents that ran beneath the peripheral of Germany and the world.
