Paul’s first impression when Henisch is describing a past Keller is of a noble man willed by his beliefs and defined by his actions. Goldsworthy uses an ellipsis to convey Paul’s surprise and bewilderment at Keller’s ignorance and his actions.…
The feelings of anxiety, deception and suspense are three of the many words used to describe the Holocaust. Source B revealed how genocide was demonstrated in the Holocaust by providing evidence of classification and preparation. Likewise, Source C, a poem written by Pastor Neimoller, in which he describes the fear that the people felt when groups of Jews were disappearing each day. The day they came for them there was no one left to take a stand for the minority. In a similar way Source D, “The Terrible Things” by Eve Bunting, delivers a similar explanation by a group called “The Terrible Things” that caught groups of animals living in the forest one by one. Although when they came for the rabbits there were no other animals left to stand up for them. Exposing to us how in a similar way the Nazi’s would diminish the Jews rights though they had done nothing and no one said nor did a thing to prevent it. Therefore, the segregation of the Jewish people, also known as the Holocaust, is identified as the responsibility of the people.…
During the late 1930’s the world was contaminated by the Second World War and the Holocaust. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, Holocaust is defined as follows: “a sacrifice wholly consumed by fire.” During the Holocaust, the Nazis, under the command of Adolf Hitler, liquidated over six million Jews. There is one Jewish survivor whose story especially touched my heart and changed my attitude towards life for the better. This amazing woman is Krystyna Chiger. Krystyna and her family escaped the Nazi liquidation by living in sewers for fourteen months (qtd. in “The Girl in the Green Sweater” 5). Accordingly, thorough assessments of my personal experiences according to the life lessons of Krystyna Chiger descriptively visualize the Holocaust and its everlasting impact on society.…
From this lecture, I learned more than I thought I would. I knew some things from the holocaust since I took German in high school, and have covered the holocaust in other classes I’ve attended. However, hearing a personal story from someone who experienced the holocaust first hand was eye opening. I know my attitude towards the situation would be more hostile than what the Bornstein family was. Overall, I can say the event and watching the film has given me more of an understanding of the whole situation between the Nazi’s and the…
"There bodies cast to the side like garbage, left to rot in the sun". The sheer hatred that both groups of antagonists (Hutus and Nazis) had towards the opposing class was insane. Both genocides were not only almost unfathomable in scale, but also extremely efficient. In the Holocaust many neighbors and friends sold others out to the Nazis just like how those in Rwanda went to kill their neighbors. Both of the excerpts contain many differences and similarities between the details of the genocides…
There have been many major events in the world's history; some are brilliant discoveries, and some are incredibly tragic. One of the biggest tragedies in the world was The Holocaust which took place in Nazi Germany and other territories Germany took over from 1933-1945. The Holocaust was the result of Hitler’s anti-semitism from his belief that the Jewish people were the cause of all of Germany’s problems. Hitler made the Jewish people the scapegoat of all of the country's struggles and with the help of the SS and Nazi army, he was able to almost carry out his “final solution” plan to terminate all the jewish people, resulting in between five million and six million Jews were killed. The Nazi’s thought the Jews were inferior and scapegoated…
The Holocaust was a tragic event that had taken place in Germany and was lead by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi government. Both Nazi and Hitler had killed more than 6 million Jews. The article is a piece of writing that is being stated in an objective way. Objective is more factual, statistical, and observable. Subjective is more opinionated and focuses more on the characters feelings and how they react to something.…
During the Second World War, Jews were singled out and murdered for their religious beliefs. They witnessed torture, death, starvation and many other horrible things. After enduring such an atrocity, Jewish families lived in constant fear, dreading they're children would be separated from them again or that they would never be able to return home. As a result, Holocaust survivors and their children suffered from traumatic shocks and extreme PTSD. In her article, Starman explains that consequently, these traumas were passed down generations through inappropriate parenting…
It was because of one man that Germany was nearly destroyed and made into a dictatorship. That one man was Adolf Hitler. He believed that Germany was so much in debt and in a great depression because of Jews. So he locked all Jews up in concentration camps and killed millions and tortured twins to learn the secrets of genetics. What all kids should get from the Holocaust is that we should be grateful what we got everyday, That racism and prejudices can cause millions of deaths, and The importance of remembering and making sure it doesn’t happen .…
For this final project we have been asked to select a significant sociological event for which I have chosen the Holocaust of World War II, and then analyze the effects on society by answering the several questions. First how and why this event was sociologically interesting? Next we will discuss what social context that the event occurred in. Then we will look at how many people were affected by this event and the presence of possible trends in shared characteristics of the people affected by this event or similar events. Finally we will discuss the sociological theory that best explains this event.…
The Holocaust, the mass murder of Jews by the Nazis from 1941-1945, challenged the very value of Western Civilization. But how, exactly? I will define key features of the Holocaust, by using the primary source, Sam Bankhalter, from Memories of the Holocaust. The holocaust challenged the ideas: of the equality of men and women, freedom of religion, and freedom of speech, that Western Civilization had. Western civilization is worth fighting for today.…
“Over 11 million people were murdered during the holocaust, including 6 million Jews” (Fact Retriever 1). Concentration camps were responsible for this act of mass murder. Many would hide for from those responsible for the camps. The Nazis built and run these camps to imprison those accused of committing crimes against the state or known as “enemies of the state”. During the holocaust, concentration camps left a mark on our society. First, they were created to detain so-called “enemies of the state”, so they were named concentration camps. In addition, the Nazi’s had to transport the “enemies of the state” somehow, so they used trains to do so. Lastly, the Nazi’s created death camps to shorten the amount of “enemies of the state” that opposed them.…
During the Holocaust, the Nazis perceived women as weak, inferior, and sexual objects because they were useless in contributing to the warfare. An example is the way Jewish women were treated by the Nazis during the Holocaust. As a result, the Nazis viewed Jewish women as an agent of fertility, motherhood, and homebuilders. During the Holocaust, women were considered useless, especially pregnant women and mothers of small children, due to the fact that they were unable to participate in tasks of the war. This counts for the fact as to why Jewish women were subjugated by the Nazis on a sexually violent level, such as rape, being sexually humiliated, and dehumanized. The Nazi pattern of sexual-violence started against Jewish women during the…

He had done the best of what he could do in his life. He had tried to save his wife, girls and friends during the war; he had tried to help them live the best they could during 5 awful years. He succeeded in transmitting to them enough courage to live happy in despair. throughout the two years that the Franks were in hiding, Mr. Frank was the strongest person in the group of people in hiding. Mr. Frank helped a lot of people while they were in hiding. Otto Frank thinks that he doesn’t deserve to be called a hero because he knows that he wasn’t the only person who was in the Holocaust so he knows that he wasn't the only one who suffered. He knew that there were other people who had to go through the camps longer than him and who tried to save others. Mr. Frank was also humble an maybe he didn't realize that he was helping and maybe even saving the people that were living in the Annex. I believe that Otto was just being himself an was putting others before himself. He was calm an sensible which was what everyone in the Annex needed when things went wrong. Otto Frank was a very good man and he tried his best to make everyone…
