In October 1971 Erich Goldhagen published an article entitled ‘Albert Speer, Himmler and the Final Solution’ about a secret meeting of the Nazi officials in Posen on 6th of October 1943. He claimed that Speer had spoken in the morning about the efforts of some Nazi Gauleiters had made to obstruct a total mobilisation of the economy and how it would be presented. However in the afternoon Himmler spoke in complete detail about the holocaust and the final solution. When the article was released in 1971 Albert Speer denied that he was at the afternoon session claiming that he had left to Rastenburg headquarters in East…
There is so much more I could write about in the contraction paragraph, but I would go on forever. I like to think you see my point of view of this and see which one I think is the better version of the story. If you have not guessed already, that I like the book a lot better than the movie. I guess if we watched the movie first, then I would probably like the movie better, but I think that’s just me. I like the book mainly because I am interested in factual things and this was like a narrative of the true story. I would recommend reading the book and not watching the movie because if you’re like me, then you will hate how there is a huge difference between the two of them. One thing I found out would be the Holocaust Remembrance Day is the same day that the camps of the Auschwitz-Birkenau were liberated in…

The word choice and structure of the sentences is adds to the already persuasive content of the speech.

In Jonathan Swift’s essay “A Modest Proposal” he uses three appeals: ethical, logical and emotional. Swift tends to use them frequently but the most effective appeal used throughout the essay, I believe, is emotional. In A Modest Proposal Swift offers a solution to the problem of famine and overpopulation in Ireland. As around the late 1720’s Ireland suffered from poor crops,which lead to famine as well as the people of Ireland could not afford to pay the rent set by the English landlords which lead to a homeless problem.…
In the early 1940s, The Holocaust was a dangerous time period to live through. It was a disaster where people in germany that Hitler did not like, such as the Jews, would be killed by the Nazi. Not only jews, but all races, all ages, and all religion were eliminated without any justice. The concentration camps in Germany were for jews and others to be tortured, but mainly to be killed “without legal proceedings.”(Engel). Hitler put those people through the camps who had different beliefs than he had. The Holocaust is a time period that all people should have a moment of silence for those who lost their lives because they were different.…

Adolf Hitler entered Kroll Opera House on the first of September, 1939, as his troops prepared to invade Poland. Propaganda was a major facet of Nazi Germany’s success and this speech reiterates the plight of Germany, Hitler’s beliefs on who was to blame for their failing economy, and what must be done about the crisis. Like many of Hitler’s speeches, outside of those in physical attendance, nations all over the world had tuned in via radio where these speeches were translated in real time. This event was known as a Reichstag Extraordinary Session, a council meeting called upon by the President of the Reich or a majority of the council members. Beyond the live audience, English translations of the transcripts of this speech and others like it have been collected by Yale University through the Avalon Project. This primary source is a vital window into the beliefs of Hitler’s regime and its supporters, as well as evidence of the corruption and propaganda presented during World War II.…

“For the dead and the living, we must bear witness.”-Elie Wiesel. The Holocaust is one of the worst Genocides in world history. None of those Jews deserved to suffer to death. So many people lost their lives and to what, so the Germans and Hitler can feel proud of themselves. Jews deserved to have remembrance.…

The thousands of people who died daily in Auschwitz and Birkenau, in the crematoria, no longer troubled me”. The death and dying did not affect the Jews, because that was all around them. The many children and mothers were sent to the crematoria to be killed they were sent in alive. “I watched other hangings. I never saw a single victim weep. These withered bodies had long forgotten the bitter taste of tears”. The people that did not obey we hanged or flogged in front of the camp for everyone to see. The hanging was torture to watch, but they desensitized to the death of one another.…
