    Typhus Epidemic During World War II

It was considered a “propaganda stunt” by the several members of the press . The British began to learn about the Final Solution in June of 1942 when the Daily Telegraph reported that Jews were being taken to concentration camps as part of a plan created by the Nazis. The connection between the Final Solution and crimes against Jews was not made until the liberation of concentration camps. There is still a debate however as to whether or not the British public really believed the stories of Nazi atrocities before 1945.When Eisenhower sent an invitation to Parliament and Congress to come tour Buchenwald concentration…

    Cruelty During The Holocaust

    The quotation tells me that the plight of Jews under the Nazis was such a struggle and they were helpless. This scene where lieutenant Kotler does something to Pavel at the dinner table when he spilled the bottle of wine on his lap, which is not mentioned but the reader can assume it was something extremely brutal and unpleasant for Pavel, is just one example of the cruelty that Jewish people had to live though for more than ten years during the Holocaust. In the book it Bruno’s father says, “We are correcting history here.” Jewish had to live through so much torment that the Nazis inflicted on them because in the opinion of most Germans, they were “Correcting history” like Bruno’s father says in the book, by getting rid of weak and dangerous…

    Nazi Concentration Camps During World War II

    During World War two, the nazis captured and imprisoned many people who did not fit into their desired Aryan race or disagreed with their beliefs. During the prisoner’s time alive in concentration camps, some were subjected to horrific experiments. Many of them either died or were left disfigured due to these events. Many of the tests were to benefit the lives of Nazi soldiers. However, some doctors performed the test without a proper reason behind it. An example of how the Nazis felt about the Jews and other races that were considered the 'lesser race’ can be compared to the idea that “ you’re flying outside the hive, talking to humans that attack our homes”(Bee Movie) . The Nazi felt as though the “ lesser race” were destroying their way of life so the sent them off to concentration camps.…

    In my opinion, if asked, Aristotle would have worked in the prison camp hospital. Aristotle’s position on ethic is to find a balance of good and what may not be good. “Virtuous activities are those that avoid the two extremes of excess and deficiency.
