    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.

    Thesis: Despite writing about such a heavy topic in such a deceptively playful medium, Maus was very effective in telling Vladek’s holocaust story because it shows rather than tells the holocaust from Vladek’s and Artie’s perspective while capturing both of their emotions, the drawings aide Artie in showing the metaphor of the power system, and makes reading Maus much more understandable.…

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 systematic mass slaughter of Jews and other groups deemed inferior by the Nazis. The Holocaust began when Adolf Hitler, the fascist leader of Germany that would lead the world into World War II. He and his followers proclaimed that the Germanic people, or Aryans, were better then others and targeted the Jews as the cause of all previous failures Germany had made. In 1935 the Nazis passed the Nuremberg laws that deprived Jews their rights to German citizenship and forbade marriages between Jews and non-Jews. More laws came to the Jews as well later, even limiting what kinds of works that Jews could do. However, the situation began to worsen with the Kristallnacht, otherwise known as “Night of Broken Glass.” When 17-year-old Herschel Grynszpan, a German Jewish youth visiting an uncle in Paris, shot a German diplomat living in Paris, wishing to avenge his father’s deportation from Germany to Poland, the Nazis retaliated with a violent attack on the Jewish community. On November 9, Nazi storm troopers attacked Jewish homes, businesses, and synagogues across Germany, murdering about 100 Jews in the process. After Kristallnacht, many Jews saw that violence against them was only going to increase resulting in several German Jews to flee the country. Hitler first favored the emigration as a solution to what he dubbed as “the Jewish problem,” but the other countries such as the United States, France, and Britain, stopped the constant…

    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…
