The New York Times coverage of the Holocaust One paper had more influence on all other newspapers during this time. The New York Times was the primary source wartime newspaper. Their lack of coverage influenced the coverage from other newspapers (Max Frankel).The years of the Holocaust was an experience people will never forget. Everyone is involved including those who suffered in Eastern Europe as well as those who were informed and those who were under informed, to the billions of lives living and learning about it today. In the time of the Holocaust (1933-1945) The New York Times under informed the American public and made them blind to the events occurring in Eastern Europe; their negligence impacted the Holocaust because America could have done more to stop the atrocities. Highlight the importance In a newspaper, normally more important news is published on the front page, except during the times of the Holocaust. Due to the fact the Times’ did not publish the stories on the front page of the paper and rather ‘hid’ them within the pages made it difficult for Americans to find the facts and understand their importance (Leff 51). The Times’ ran 1,147 stories which averaged to about seventeen stories a month (Leff 52). Within six years the Times’ only featured six stories that mentioned Hitler’s target; the Jewish race. The New York Times was the primary source for wartime news. When they neglected the events of the Holocaust it affected the judgment of other news sources as well (Max Frankel). Even when US troops liberated the Buchenwald and Dachau concentration camps, the stories still never made it to the front page of the paper and people still did not believe in the reliability of the stories (Leff 52).

The Holocaust was a very impressionable period of time. It not only got media attention during that time, but movies, books, websites, and other forms of media still remember the Holocaust. In Richard Brietman’s article, “Lasting Effects of the Holocaust,” he reviews two books and one movie that were created to reflect the Holocaust (BREITMAN 11). He notes that the two books are very realistic and give historical facts and references to display the evils that were happening in concentration camps during the Holocaust. This shows that the atrocities that were committed during the Holocaust have not been forgotten. Through historical writings and records, the harshness and evil that created the Holocaust will live through centuries, so that it may not be repeated again (BREITMAN 14).

Throughout the twenty and into the twenty first century, the world has seen much academic and historical reflection on the subject of the Holocaust. Scholars have avidly debated both the motives of the perpetrators and the inaction of the Jewish race during the Holocaust. Both the offenders and the offended have been criticized in one way or another for s variety of reasons. Daniel Jonah Goldhagen specifically looks at the perpetrators, the Germans, and argues that in fact, the Holocaust could only have taken place in Germany because of the German peoples’ great anti-Semitism.

When the Holocaust first started in 1933, America acted as if Hitler and his actions were nonexistent. America’s ignorance towards the war lasted for almost three years until finally, near the end of 1945, the news was finally spreading about the Holocaust and the mass execution
FDR and the Holocaust by Verne W. Newton provides a basis for scholarly discourse for the Hyde Park Conference of 1993. The book includes essays, articles, and chapters from different scholars specializing in the Holocaust and Roosevelt in which they examine FDR’s response to the Holocaust. The first chapter of the book is a summary of the participants’ remarks of the “Policies and Responses of the American Government towards the Holocaust,” which was prepared by rapporteur J. Garry Clifford. The objective of the conference was to determine through discussion whether or not the controversy over the Roosevelt administration’s response to the Holocaust was correct. Following this chapter, the first section of the book is filled with essays, articles, and chapters submitted by participants at the conference. The second section of the book includes papers by historians who were not participants at the conference, but whose contributions are relevant to the issues discussed. The articles written by the scholars throughout the book look at the policies between 1933 and 1942, addressing the critiques of FDR and his failure to stop the genocide of the Jewish community in Germany. The overall book not only looks at the rescue efforts during the war and the possibilities for future research and analysis, but also supplies a definitive resource for a pivotal time in United States history.
Eighteen million Europeans went through the Nazi concentration camps. Eleven million of them died, almost half of them at Auschwitz alone.1 Concentration camps are a revolting and embarrassing part of the world’s history. There is no doubt that concentration camps are a dark and depressing topic. Despite this, it is a subject that needs to be brought out into the open. The world needs to be educated on the tragedies of the concentration camps to prevent the reoccurrence of the Holocaust. Hitler’s camps imprisoned, tortured, and killed millions of Jews for over five years. Life in the Nazi concentration camps was full of terror and death for its individual prisoners as well as the entire Jewish society.
Usually people cannot trust the things they find on the Internet. It is all too easy for individuals to put up false information and make it seem true by simply putting the information on a professional-looking webpage. As a result, people tend to place more trust in books, mostly because it takes far more work, time, and money for the words within the book to be spread, and those willing to spend these resources to be heard are less likely to be lying, according to their own knowledge. At least, this is what is assumed. While readers would like to be able to trust Art Spiegelman’s recount of his father’s story as a reliable source for information on the Holocaust, it may not be as reliable as presumed.

Writing this paper has really taught me a lot about Auschwitz (and World War II in general) that I did not already know. I got some valuable information that I had never even thought of beforehand. Although this is a very sobering and even depressing subject, I have always found it very interesting. A few questions that I have though, will never be answered. Like, How? and Why? The entire Holocaust is often something that people don’t want to think about, because of its depressing nature, but I believe that it is important to be educated on this subject to avoid something like this ever happening again. As Yoda says in Episode One of “Star Wars”, “Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate leads to death.” I hope that the fear that the Nazis felt never returns.
