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.…

Like Elie Wiesel said, “There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.” Elie Wiesel wrote a book about his life during the holocaust. In the book he talks about racism and hatred toward the Jewish religion. This relates to how people are judged at court for their appearance and how they talk or look. People who have a low socioeconomic status are disadvantaged in the criminal justice system especially when examining how they do not have enough money for a good lawyer, they won’t be able to pay off any of their fines and they may or may not have enough money to buy nice clothes for court.…

“I remember: it happened yesterday, or eternities ago… It all happened so fast. The ghetto. The deportation. The sealed cattle car. The fiery altar upon which the history of our people and the future of mankind were meant to be sacrificed” -Elie Wiesel. Millions of heads were enforced in the Holocaust, Elie Wiesel was one of the few survivors. Mr. Wiesel survived through the genocide known as the Holocaust. The Holocaust occurred from 1939 to 1945 in Europe. The mass annihilation was lead by Adolf Hitler. Hitler had one capital goal, to be the ultimate ruler. While Germany was experiencing difficult times, Hitler took the opportunity to use Jews and other parties/groups as scapegoats and blame Germany’s issues on them; this turned the people against them, making the extermination significantly easier. Many deny the manifestation of the Holocaust. The revisionists, Holocaust deniers, believed the Holocaust was a hoax and was over exaggerated. Problematically, revisionists argue the occurrence of the Holocaust is false and out of proportion. However, the significant amount of evidence found such as physical evidence (documents, pictures, and videos) and personal accounts from witnesses has proven the Holocaust did happen and was not an aggrandizement.…
“Comparison is the thief of joy,” said Theodore Roosevelt. His truth rings out today as multitudes of teenagers and young adults battle epidemics of depression: eating disorders: anxiety disorders: and other mental illnesses. Though chemical imbalances and traumatic events can trigger these plagues of the mind, another media scapegoat exists: insecurity. Insecurity seems like a likely reason for mental illnesses like anxiety and anorexia but behind those surface dwelling insecurities lies another predator lurking in the deep; comparison. Without comparison, insecurity would not exist because no one would have a reason to feel insecure. No ideal portrayal of beauty or the perfect student would trouble young adults since they would not compare themselves to those stereotypes or to others around them. Sinful and…

"... In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart. I simply can’t build up my hopes on a foundation consisting of confusion, misery, and death. I see the world gradually being turned into a wilderness, I hear the ever approaching thunder, which will destroy us too, I can feel the sufferings of millions and yet, if I look up into the heavens, I think that it will all come right, that this cruelty too will end, and that peace and tranquility will return again." - Anne Frank. Disabilities can affect the brain, or the body, and some being not as severe as the next, but to Adolf Hitler a disability was something that affected the work of a person, making them unfit to be in his “perfect race.” There are many types of disabilities, and many types of people, but during the Holocaust, disabled people were treated much differently, resulting in thousands of unnecessary early deaths. Even though there are many ways of killing, the Nazis had a preferred method for killing disabled people; but used others too. There are a lot of types of disabilities, but all got killed. Hitler tried his hardest to even prevent people from having disabled children, and he killed thousands of people trying to do so.…
