The Similarities And Difference Between The Holodomor And The Holocaust

Imagine being treated, alongside people like you, as though you were something lower than a mere insect and constantly stomped on. All because you were poor or following a religion, people such as yourself were being exterminated. Hence The Holodomor, or to kill by starvation, which was an act of genocide started by Joseph Stalin that started in Ukraine in 1932 - 1933. Within the following year, the Holocaust started in 1933 - 1945. Additionally, have you thought about if anything really changed? What were the similarities and difference between the two major genocides? Lastly, how was Hitler specifically able to spread so much influence without the use of social media, and is it similar to today's propaganda?

To begin since the Holodomor

Firstly, did you that Joseph Stalin was a huge inspiration to Hitler? Moreover, the biggest difference between both genocide is that why they did so. Firstly, Joseph Stalin started the “famine” because he wanted to exterminate the Ukrainians wh0 wanted independence. However, there is still debate over rather or not this is true or not. Reason for this is that there are no direct records of any sort of explanation why. So in Hitler’s case, he felt as though the Jews were a threat or because they were to blame for why the Germans were experiencing what they are going through. Because of this mentality, he wanted to destroy the Jews. How he planned on doing this was putting the Jews in concentration camps, and put strenuous labor on them. Criminals or such were also put into these camps. The people commonly die from disease, illness, or starvation. Compared to the Holodomor the conditions are about equally as horrid. Like the Holocaust, lots of Ukrainians were stuffed in trains and placed in inhabitable places, or confined to their city unable to leave. You either starved or eaten or dies from illness were the most common ways people died. Lastly, let’s talk about how Hitler was able to influence the majority people in Germany. So due to all the economic issues going on in Germany, the country was falling in shambles. The people were losing hope, and there seemed as their time of suffering will never end. This is where Hitler took a stand and flipped everything on its head. Hitler became the people, the countries shining beacon of hope. He helped the country economy rise back to its former glory. Furthermore, people started to follow in his footstep, newspapers, rumors, endless conversations is how Hitler’s name was spread. Now within the following years, he started World War 2, but that's a different story for a later
