Lauren Davis Mr. Furlong English 10 17 Sept. 2014 The horrors and Dehumanizing Effects on War Through out the appalling novel‚ All Quiet on the Western Front written by Erich Remarque‚ many themes were prevalent in the reading.

Austin Barnard November 18‚ 2010 Is the Great Dictator a holocaust film? The Great Dictator‚ by Charlie Chaplin‚ can be argued both ways as to weather or not it is a film relevant to the holocaust. I personally enjoyed the movie as a comedy‚ but not as a story about the holocaust.

Chaplin has the characters‚ including Hitler‚ called Hynkel‚ in the movie‚ doing

understanding of the Holocaust and the persecution of the Jews is a combination of ‘Legend‚ Fact and History.’ I’m arguing that the only crucial‚ relevant aspect of our view is fact! That includes undeniable evidence that is totally accepted by all.

scarcely any event can compare in atrocity to that of the Holocaust. We will never know the comprehensive truth of the Holocaust and its’ notorious leader Adolf Hitler‚ and as such we are left to speculate on the origins and impact created by those involved. To some‚ Adolf Hitler is the inimitable leader‚ the charismatic politician with a heinous purpose and the sole person to blame for the events which became known to history as the Holocaust. This ideology is known as the intentionalist argument

How could ‘ordinary men’ become genocidal killers in the Holocaust? Memories of the Holocaust are littered with acts of such inhumane cruelty and barbarity that they are almost unbelievable‚ Hermann Patschmann’s memories are no different. “One time the German authorities were short of SS matrons‚ so they recruited them by force from the factories without even giving them enough time to inform their families. They were taken to the camp where they were divided into groups of 50. One day they were
