Why The Nazis Evacuate Prisoners?
There were three main reasons that Nazis had for evacuating the prisoners from the concentration camps. They were 1) they didn't want the prisoners telling their stories, 2) The Nazis thought they needed them to make army supplies, and 3) they wanted to use the prisoners as hostages to keep the Nazi party alive. But, all of these reasons had something very important in common; the Nazis did not want to get rid of their captives. Between the three of these reasons we can see a common theme; the Nazis wanted to be superior to all other people and races, and this was one of their ways of accomplishing that goal. The first reason, not wanting prisoners in enemy hands, telling their stories, was a considerably large reason. If the rest of the

    Many factors contributed to the reason that the Germans tried to dehumanize the Jews in the concentration camps, partly so that they would lose the will to live. I feel like the German soldiers, ruthless as they were to the Jews, needed to dehumanize the Inmates because they didn’t have enough immortality to kill. But since the Jews were viewed, treated, and forced to live like animals, the German soldiers didn’t feel as wrong killing them.…

    Furthermore, concentration camps left its mark behind as a site where Nazi authorities could kill targeted people (enemies) or they worked labor under harsh conditions. Adolf Hitler and his German Nazis became very powerful as they had control of most of Europe, so they set up concentration camps to imprison enemies and to continue dominating their control. So, local civilian authorities organized these camps so that they could incarcerate real and political opponents of Nazi policy. In conclusion, the Nazis set up these concentration camps to keep their control against any opposing enemies, so that they could remain…

    In any marriage, it is important for the wife to feel secured, loved, and to receive sexual gratification to maintain a strong commitment to her husband. Unfortunately, in Kate Chopin's "The Storm," Calixta does not receive all of these things from her husband Bobinot. Calixta's husband Bobinot lacks a sense of power and control in their marriage and also leaves her feeling sexually frustrated. Calixta's encounter with Alcee Laballiere also reminds her of her dull marriage and the passion her and Alcee has once shared. Because of the unfulfillment of her marriage to Bobinot, Calixta is driven to commit adultery with Alcee.…

    Nazi authorities staged a violent pogrom upon Jews in Germany on November 9–10, 1938, known as Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass). After the pogrom, the British government eased immigration restrictions for certain categories of Jewish refugees. British authorities agreed to allow an unspecified number of children under the age of 17 to enter Great Britain from Germany and German-annexed territories (that is, Austria and the Czech lands). They were spurred by British public opinion and the persistent efforts of refugee aid committees. Notable among the refugee aid committees were the British Committee for the Jews of Germany and the Movement for the Care of Children from Germany.…

    Henrick Himmler, chief of the German police, the Gestapo, thought that the camps would provide an economic base for the soldiers (The Holocaust: Buchenwald). This unfortunately did not happen, the work force was poorly organized and working conditions were inhumane.

    In George Takei’s interview he states,”...we had to take loyalty tests, as if moving away to a camp far away from our home, wasn’t enough to prove that we were.” The purpose for the Japanese internment camps was the fear of being attacked. The Americans were skeptical of the Japanese because they had just bombed America on Pearl Harbor. In the Holocaust documentary it says that people were killed by gas chambers and mass-burnings. When the Nazis got bored they would kill randomly and have random roll calls for hours. This tells me that the purpose of the concentration camps was hate. Finally, the Nazi concentration camps were also known as “death camps”. This proves that the Nazis wanted to kill the Jews and anyone who they felt weren't worthy of being included in the Hitler’s “master…

    First, these Concentration Camps were very brutal. Some examples of brutality are “when a person is captured they were beaten, tortured, starved, murdered by being worked to death, and by being put in gas chambers or large furnaces. A result of these actions 100 people died daily at the camps” (The Concentration Camps). The point of these “camps” was to kill and get rid of all Jews. These Jewish people were being taken to these places and they thought everything would be ok and they would go home soon. Most of them never made it home. The people that ran the camps had no mercy either. They didn’t care if the…

    The Holocaust is simply one of the most terrible and horrific crimes against humanity of all time.It stripped so many innocent people of their rights as human beings and put them through some of the most awful and indescribable things that most people could not even begin to imagine. Adolf Hitler tried to create a pure Aryan race, so he decided that all jews, mentally ill, gypsies, and also non supporters of Nazi ideas, should be eliminated from the German population.He carried out his goal by using a very systematic plan. One of his main methods of "doing away" with these people was through the use of concentration camps. In a meeting in January 1941 Hitler, along with some of his top officials decided on a plan that was called the "final…

    The second purpose was that the Nazis needed prisoners to maintain weapons. The last reason was that the Nazis believed that they could use Jewish concentration camps prisoners as hostages [Death Marches]. Most of these marches lasted for months, and when some Jews couldn’t keep up the pace, they were shot [death Marches]. Tens of thousands of these Jews were executed during the death marches [YAD VASHEM]. The NAzis marched the jews to various concentration and death camps{Death Marches].
