Describe the Holocaugt as it was carried out by the Nazi Government. What was the purpose of the Holocaust?…
The surviving Jews obviously did not want to stay or go back to their original homes in Germany or did not want to go somewhere they were hated so many Jews migrated. After world war 2 Britain promised Jews all around the world that they will have a homeland in Palestine so many Jews did get someplace to go so millions of Jews migrated to there but not all jews were able to get there. So many Jews did not have anywhere to go some some people even stayed in the concentration camps that they were in from before. After the world war there were hundreds of thousands of Jews were looking for somewhere to settle. So the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) had the responsibility of finding homes or places for people after the war.…
Recall: In "The problem of evil," James Rachels and Stuart Rachels provider some important point: 1) Pain is not body’s warning system needed, because newborn babies did not deserve inexorable pain; 2) Even If we need evil to appreciate the good, but it is does not explain why there is such an extraordinary amount of evil in this world; 3) The doctrine of original sin was absurd. According to authors, it would be come to a conclusion that a newborn baby did deserve terrible disease. 4) The idea that Free Will Defense is in apparent contradiction to the natural evil in the world. 5) Based on the idea that a world without suffering would be void of the virtues necessary for good moral development. It does not explain the reason that God allowed the Holocaust or isolated cases of extreme cruelty to happen. 6) The theory of moral development does not explain the reason why animals suffering.…
In 1933, Adolph Hitler launched a program to ‘cleanse’ Germany of Jewish influence. 1936 this program was extended to countries occupied by Germany, and in January, years later, the “Final Solution” policy was adopted. The massive industrial annihilation of Jews in Concentration and extermination camps only reached the American public after the war ended. The Roosevelt’s failure to act, however, was not due to a lack of evidence on the holocaust, but rather the lack of a desire to rescue the persecuted. Twelve specific propositions and actions proposed in the face of these atrocities in the United States may have saved hundreds of thousands of Jewish lives.…
the systematic, bureaucratic, state-sponsored persecution and murder of six million Jews by the Nazi regime and its collaborators”, lasting from the years 1939-1941 (United States Holocaust Museum). After becoming the chancellor of Germany in 1933, Adolf Hitler and the Nazi regime strived to bring Germany out of the depression and debt zone that they were currently in. Since the Nazis believed strongly that the Jewish people were harmful to the Germans and were “inferior”, Hitler’s idea of helping Germany out of this mess was by getting rid of the Jews in his ”Final Solution”. As a part of his Final Solution, Hitler exterminated the Jewish population through the implementation of concentration camps. Located in these camps were: gas chambers, crematories, and labor camps, which were used to execute the Jews. At these camps, the Jews were forced to work and if not, “[they would] go straight to the furnace [Or] to the crematory” (Wiesel 47). Although the Jews were the main targets, many other groups were subjected to cruelty under the Nazis as well. Some of these groups included: gypsies, homosexuals, the physically/mentally challenged, communists, anyone who opposed the Nazis, and the elderly (Wahutu,…
The German Nazis’ “Final Solution” would involve the deportation and murder of 11 million Jews. This list also included Jewish residents of nations outside of German control, such as Ireland, Sweden, Turkey, and Great Britain (ushmm.org). The Jews would be taken on journeys in box cars in tight spaces, had little to no food or water along their way, and suffered through unbearable temperatures. The journeys in the boxcars were hard to go through for Jews during the Holocaust.…
The Holocaust was an unparalleled crime composed of millions of murders imprisonment, racism, and destruction. It destroyed millions of lives and wiped out over six million Jews during the course of World War II under Hitler’s power. The aftermath of these horrific events proved to be a difficult one since no form of punishment could ever suffice to the torture and pain the Nazi’s inflicted on the Jewish Community. This challenge was attempted by the International Military Tribunal (IMT) held at Nuremberg, Germany where they held Nazi’s in court for crimes of war and genocide. These became known as the Nuremburg Trials.…
During a lecture given by Todd Morgan he stated that the Germans blamed the Jews and that they believed in “proof of the ‘dark forces’ that had caused Germany to lose World War I” (Morgan 26 Feb. 2015. Lecture.)The Germans would obviously want to stop this so they would imprison the Jews. Further more, if you refer six million crucifixions one of the reasons why WWI was a cause of the Holocaust was “ the collapse of the German economy” ("Causes of the Holocaust"). Since Jewish people were strongly linked with the economy they were blamed for the depression which was actually caused by WWI. The loss of World War I is one of the many events that helped the Holocaust…
When the Germans captured Jew’s they would either use them as slaves or put them in a gas room,where they would die. You could be a child, woman, or a man and they would still persecute or kill you. This lasted for many years, then Hitler said his last words which ended the Holocaust. This was found from the website www.history.com. “In his last will and political testament, dictated in a German bunker that April 29, Hitler blamed the war on ‘International Jewry and its helpers’ and urged the German leaders and people to follow ‘the strict observance of the racial laws and with merciless resistance against the universal poisoners of all peoples’–the Jews. The following day, he committed suicide. Germany’s formal surrender in World War II came barely a week later, on May 8, 1945.” There was one man who saved many Jewish lives. His name was Oskar Schindler. He would gives Jews jobs or have them work as slaves, but he would treat them with kindness and not be torturous. After the war, there was estimated to be about 5 million Jews that…
The Allied Leaders were determined to bring Nazi leaders to justice for their crimes. These feelings only grew in the final months of World war II. From 1945 to 1949, the Allies held the Nuremberg Trials in Nuremberg, Germany. This is the place where the Nazis held huge rallies. On December 9th, 1948, the UN passed the Genocide Convention. This was designed to overcome the claims of Nuremberg defendants that they had violated no laws.…
The Wannsee Conference was held in order to explain the Nazis’ plan to carry out the “Final Solution”. The “Final Solution” is a euphemism to make their plan sound better than what it actually was. There was nothing good about this plan; the main goal of it was to get rid of the Jews by any means possible. It was estimated that around 11,000,000 Jews in Europe will be involved in the "Final Solution”. During the movie it was evident that not a single one of the officials at the meeting opposed the Final Solution.…
