However, no one can doubt that this novel does in fact have a lot of literary value. This novel has contributed a lot to nonfiction/memoir novels that are about being a victim in the Holocaust. He vividly illustrated his predicaments in the novel, and was a not afraid of being a little graphic where it was necessary. He would describe dead victims clearly, like this following excerpt: “The two men were no longer alive. Their tongues were hanging out, swollen and bluish. But the third rope was still moving: the child, too light was still breathing… And so he remained for more than half an hour, lingering between life and death, writhing before our eyes…That night, the soup tasted of corpses.” This novel contributed to the gruesome yet real category of Holocaust victim memoirs. It was descriptive enough to be like a movie playing in my head while I devoured each word. It was a real piece of literature that doesn’t let the readers forget the cruelty and torture that the Holocaust’s victims had to face.…
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.…
Why did the Allies defeat Hitler? - Weakness of the Axis powers Germany didn’t not give their full military capacity to invade Britain in 1941, Hitler allowed Britain to survive. From this Britain kept going with the war into the West, the British resistance was increasingly causing Germany problems. Britain also acted as a launch pad for the bombing of Germany and Operation Overload. Therefore, invasion of the Soviet Union proved to be a huge mistake, pushing Germany to face war on two fronts.…
But, that doesn't mean that we should continue making films about the same subject; the Holocaust. Some films can lighten the mood of the Holocaust by adding light situational under tones such as romance. By adding something along the lines of this to the existing horrific mass murder murdering scenes the Audience will be touched by the couple kissing in the middle of all of the chaos, while learning more about the Holocaust. Maybe if the Holocaust films were told by the perspective of the imprisoned Jew then the films would be worth the making. But that will never happen since the point of view is too horrific for the innocent public…

There were hundreds, if not thousands of death camps settled across Europe during World War II. But despite the word “death camps”, a term that is used to describe the horrible events of the Holocaust, the historic mass killing of around six million Jews or more. These were more of working camps, but still, out of all of those, only six of them were used specifically for actually working the Jews to death. Belzec, Chelmno, Majdanek, Sobibor, as well as Treblinka were quite large, but none of those five are as large or as infamous as the Auschwitz death camp. Through the beginning of the 1941 to around 1945, the camp has gone from 835 square feet of absolute horror to true historical suffering and terror that won’t, and shouldn’t, be forgotten.…
"I certainly think that another Holocaust can happen again. It did already occur; think of Cambodia, Rwanda, and Bosnia" -Miep Gies. Genocide is killing a mass group of people in a certain group. For these reasons, a genocide could happen again today. An event the magnitude of the Holocaust could happen again because people in this world can just hate a certain group or religion and decide to commit a mass murder just because he hates that group or religion.…

The uniqueness of the Holocaust has always been controversial. Was it a singular event where latter atrocities could not match in ideology, degree, or characteristics or was it a predecessor for where similar events could be used as a depiction of the Holocaust simply in another place and time? Firstly, the Holocaust, commonly referred to as the Nazi slaughter of Jews, Gypsies and other ‘racial undesirables during World War II , is based on a general ideology of racialism that myths of justification in the national mass murders of Cambodia, Rwanda, and Bosnia adopt in their search for mass support. The victims and the types of atrocities in each case…
