Recommended: Religious prejudice

In my opinion, the reason people treat others horribly is maybe because of race, religion, gender, economic status, etc. I am going to be talking about two of them, religion and race. Religion in the Holocaust was a big deal because Hitler hated the Jews simply because they were Jewish and he had a different belief system than them. Race is another big one because again, Hitler was a different race than the Jews.

While considering today’s society, with race and religion we may want to think about ISIS and how rude and cruel they are. The reason that I believe ISIS is like the Nazis is because of their cruel beliefs and actions towards others. The Jews are like the Americans and Islamic victims that the Nazis and ISIS have killed. These kind

  • Hitler's Pursuit for Racial Purity: Holocaust Horrors

    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. All in all, the Holocaust was a very terrible and heartbreaking event that occurred in our world 's history, but also it is a very crucial thing for

  • The Holocaust: The Most Significant Cause Of The Holocaust

    1994 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Holocaust, the mass killing of the Jewish people in Europe, is the largest genocide in history to this date. Over the course of the Holocaust nearly six million Jewish people were killed by the Nazi Party and Germany led by Adolf Hitler. There are multiple contributing factors to the Holocaust that made it so large in scope. Historians argue which of these factors were most significant. The most significant contributing factor is the source of the Holocaust, the reason it occurred. This source is Adolf Hitler and his hatred for Jewish people. In comparison to the choices of the Allies to not accept Jewish refugees and to not take direct military action to end the Holocaust, the most significant contributing factor of the Holocaust is that Adolf Hitler was able to easily rise to power with the support of the German people and rule Germany.

    The Holocaust is known as the mass murder of some 6 million European Jews (as well as members of some other persecuted groups, such as Gypsies and homosexuals) by the German Nazi regime during the Second World War, from 1939 to 1945. To the anti-Semitic Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, Jews were an inferior race, an alien threat to German racial purity and community. Many petrifying acts were done to the targeted races, such as, being burned to death or having died by gaseous fumes. We may ask what would psychologically have to happen in order to transform the average, seemingly normal, citizens of Germany into people who would carry out or tolerate unimaginable acts of cruelty against their fellow citizens.
