¨How does one mourn for six million people who died? How many candles does one light? How many prayers does one recite? Do we know how to remember the victims, their solitude, their helplessness? They left without a trace, and we are their trace,¨ (Elie Wiesel). Millions dead, 1.5 million were children; they were tortured and starved to death. Some say that nobody really died, that the genocide didn't happen, that the Holocaust didn't exist. However, Evidence proves those few people wrong. The Holocaust did happen, and went it ended it took millions of people down with it. Scarred for life, the survivors have shared their war stories and have shared their grief with the world. Never again will they be able to close their eyes without seeing…

People faced with cruelty still find a way to be kind. The Nazi’s targeted people who were different. September 15 1935 Jewish people were striped from freedom and from there lives due to the Nuremberg Laws. Hitler thought the Jews were the reason that Germany lost WWII, so he gave orders to build death camps and ghettos. The jews had it worse than any other criminals because only jews were sent to the death camps. The presence of intolerance can inspire people to treat others with kindness as seen in the Diary of Anne Frank.…
Anne Frank is someone who influenced history long after she was gone, because of her courage, bravery, and willpower that got here and her family through the tough times up until they were seized. Though Anne died at age fifteen in one of the camps, we still see her today as such an accepting human being throughout her life. In one of her very last entries Anne stated, “In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” This entry proves her beliefs beyond measure that all humans are good people and mean for the best in their own lives. This statement alone expresses everything people need to know about Anne and who she was as a person this shows a maturity level way beyond her years as a young girl of only thirteen…
The time during the Holocaust brought the Frank family much difficulties. They had to be fearful about everything.They were always scared of being caught by the Gestapo. They had to be careful about what they were doing and how loud they were talking. They were always scared of what would happen if someone knew where they were living. While they were living in the Annex they couldn’t do much as I had mentioned. They didn’t have normal dinners or normal clothes like other normal families had. In the secret annex there was a tight schedule. The Annex was located in an empty section of the builing that Mr. Frank worked in.…
One fact that is most disturbing about the Holocaust is that they were forced to hide. People shouldn’t be treated like this and people shouldn’t treat other people like this. For example, in the Diary of Anne Frank the Franks and Van Daans and Dussel had to go into hiding because they would be forced to go to concentration camps. Their families would have been distributed and they would’ve not seen each other for years.…

A massive Genocide. Families torn part. Homes destroyed. The Holocaust was a traumatic, appalling experience where nearly 11 million people were brutally murdered. Ruling from 1933 to 1945, the Nazis, led by Adolf Hitler, attempted to rid themselves of all those they deemed inferior or marginalized groups such as the Jews.
