Dakota Cannoy Analysis

The picture I received from Dakota Cannoy has a lot of meaning to me as an individual person. The image refers back to the holocaust where Jewish people were blamed for all of Germany’s problems and mass murdered for it. In the image there are 6 people hanging upside down dead with copious amounts of German SS officers. All of the men are hung from the rafters of a building and have their names written above them and almost all the names are Italian. The Germans below are almost oblivious to what is hanging mere feet above their heads, or they just don’t have any compassion for the Jewish mans’ life. I feel that the Jews had no life and were treated like pigs and slaughtered for no reason what so ever by a tyrant named Adolf Hitler.
The emotionless
slaughter of a whole race of people is a terrible thing in my book and I can’t fathom this happening in modern day nations. The mass genocide of the Jewish race was purely because Hitler wanted them gone and he had enough money and influence to have people follow him and do whatever he wanted. Also in the image there are no lacerations on the bodies or blood which leads me to think these men were clubbed to death or hung then displayed for everybody to see as an example of what happens when you go against the Germans. The concentration camps that the Jews had to stay in were filthy and riddled with the scent of human filth due to not being able to clean their selves and having to wear the same outfit every day. The environment is unimaginable to me because I can’t understand how one man can almost bring a whole race to extinction over a hatred for them. This is what set off World War 1 because like me people thought it was wrong to kill people without reason. The United States joined the war along with many European countries to kill Adolf Hitler and bring down the Nazis. I cannot make a connection with the 6 men hanging other then all of them must be Jewish and 5 of them are of Italian descent due to all their last names ending with the letter “I”. These men must have done something wrong to be displayed publicly after death for everyone in the camp to see and take caution of. One of the guys in the image is wearing a cowboy hat and I don’t think he really fits in the image. The smell of these men hanging upside down from the rafters would be so terrible and I don’t know how the men would have taken seeing one of their comrades being slaughtered. These heartless Germans that stood by and looked at the men seemed to not even care about the fact that they are blindly pushing a race of people to extinction for no reason other than Hitler wants them dead. The pain and suffering these poor Jewish people had to take was extremely grueling and terrible and lasted for a few years with the minimum amount of food and water each day. These Jews were not expected to survive these concentration camps, rather I feel like the camps were designed to kill them slowly so it did not arouse suspicion. If not in the camp Jews had to run portions of the camp and lead to the better treatment of the Jews, but there was still very little hope for their race until they were liberated and set free and Hitler killed himself. This death of Adolf Hitler set the turning point in the world war against NAZI Germany. The Jewish race was saved and because they stayed strong and fought hard and stayed resilient to the Germans’ torture methods they ensured the survival of their bloodline.

There is not much I can gather from this image that you the reader of this essay doesn’t already know.
The Germans killed thousands of Jews every day and hung them up as examples for all the other Jewish people to see and fear. The ones who survived this horrible fate are not left without the memories of their friends and family being slaughtered for a reason they did not know. The strength of the Jewish race as a whole is inspiring to me for many different reasons. The strongest reason that I am inspired by this is these men and women looked at fallen friends that died every day and lived with it, embraced this hatred for to Germans and stayed strong and held the will to live. This image showed this the men hanging were all Jewish and most of them are from Italy or at least have that descent, I’m guessing that they did something out of line or said something that was very bad and paid the ultimate price for it. I don’t have much more to say there is not much that I can say that I have not said. MRs Sparks I hope you see that I tried really hard to get a thousand words on this essay and to be honest it is really hard. I only know like two thousand words so this used almost my whole vocabulary. The Jews had it bad and I am not happy that it happened if I could rewrite history I would have stopped the whole thing from happening but I cannot and the past will stay the past. There is a lot to learn about this terrible event that we are not taught and from researching this event I have seen some of the things that happened to these poor people and I feel compassion for their losses. Well its time to wrap this essay up because I am writhing only a thousand words no more and no less. Thanks for teaching me about the holocaust and all the terrible things the Jews had to endure and their troublesome
problems.
