The Holocaust is one of the most imfamous and prolific events in history. Millions were affected by the events that occured inside Nazi Germany and the terretories it controlled. Eleven million people were killed by the Nazi's during the Holocaust. Thanks to Hitlers narrow minded opinion about the jews, many people oppressed them before the killling. The Nuremberg Race Laws were specifically designed to oppress Jews. As Hitler gained more power, he began to make what he did legal. He had the final word on everything. He was a talented but morally challenged leader. We study the holocaust because we need to learn about the hardships people face. People can still relate to the Holocaust today. Anti-Semetism is not a new idea. Over the middle ages many people thought Jews were shady and obsessed with money. They were not to be trusted with anything. Hitler played on that ancient fear and used it to spark public hatred of the ones who were thought to be Jewish. Anyone who wasnt exactly what he approved of were sent to camps. Other people were hidden by sympathetic people. Anne Frank was hidden by such people. Anne Frank and her family went into hiding from the Nazi's. Her family immegrated to Holland after the innactment of the Nuremerg Race Laws. Otto Frank, her father, arranged for the family to go into hiding with another family, the Van Daans. Two weeks later, they were joined by Fritz Pfeffer (Dr. Dussel).She wrote in her diary what happened in the Secret Annexe. They lived in bad conditions, often with a shortage of food. They survived there for twenty-five months. They were rated out by a person who worked in the building. The Gestapo raided the building. The eight refugees were sent to concentration camps. They eventually we... ... middle of paper ... ...shower, they would get kkilled. Only about half of the victims were killed in the gas chambers. Others died of disease or exhaustion. The Holocaust is one of the most horrible and imfamous events in history, but thats precisly why we study it. The holocaust is not some fairy tale. It actually happened. It was started by Hitler and his cabinet, but the reason it lasted for so long is because people turned a blind eye to what was going on. People ignored their conciouses. Hitler had everything a great leader should have. Charisma, power, and best of all, ideas that would bring Germany to a new standard of greatness. Unfortunatly, his morals allowed for eleven million people to die. So, the reason we study the Holocaust is because events like it still happen today. We need to raise awareness and show what these people went through. That is why we study the Holocaust.
Lots of families had to hide during holocaust to prevent from going to Auschwitz. One of those families where Anne Frank’s family. According to The World of Anne Frank website, Anne frank was a Jewish little girl born on June 12 1929 in Frankfurt Germany. Having only one older sister, Margot Frank, Anne came from a small family. Her and her family were in the upper middle class and was pretty wealthy. Her father, Otto Frank, was a lieutenant for the German army then later became businessman.

Studing the Holocaust is very importnant, there are many different categories in this topic that you can break it down into. Hitler's rise to power, the Holocaust itself, World War II, Anne Frank, and why it is important to learn about the Holocaust. These are vey large topics in this subject, they are important things to hit on. The holocaust caused a lot of confusion durnig this time period.
So why do we study the Holocaust? Is it to know of Adolf Hitler's madness or know about a large part of World War II? I believe it is to know how to recognize and stop something like the Holocaust from ever happening again. It is like Edmund Burke said, "All tyrany needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent." The Holocaust gained it's foodhold because we didn't know what was happening so we remained silent. A lot of the suffering and pain could've been prevented if we had simply realized what was going on. Another one of Edmund's quotes is that, "Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it." That is why we must learn and know about the Holocaust so that we do not repeat our mistakes of the past.
The years between 1933-1945 was a horrifying time period. We learn about the Holocaust to know and learn about how bad the past was and what people had to go through. People study the Holocaust to be educate and undertsand the past. The most important reason why we study the Holocaust is so that nothing as bad as the Holocaust was, happens again. According to Edmund Burke, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
The Holocaust was one of the biggest disasters the world has ever seen. More than 1.5 million children were murdered 1.2 Jewish children, along with thousands of gypsy children, and thousands of handicapped children. The effects of the Holocaust can be felt today, not only by what we learn and read, but by those who have endured the pain of the Holocaust and saw their friends and family being tortured and killed. They victims will never forget, they will always remember.
...d the Franks and the Van Danns where arrested. They where sent to a tranzit camp where after 6 months they where sent to Ashwitz. Anne and her sister later where sent to a death camp where they died of sickness. These things where really bad cause the Holocaust killed millions and because of that Anne died at a early age.
We study history to learn from it. People make mistakes and it is not only our job, but our responsibility to learn from them so no one makes those errors again. What we learn from the Holocaust is what happens when you forget your morals and blindly follow others. We learn the horrible, tragic outcome of racism and discrimination. We learn that when good does nothing, evil takes over. We study the Holocaust because it is not only important, but essential that we do not repeat history.
The Holocaust is one of the most significant genocides in the history of mankind. (Berger 2007:1). It was significant because it was one of the most organized and systematic genocides ever. The Holocaust also wasn’t limited to only one group of people. It included a whole variety of different races, ethnicities, and cultures.
To begin with the holocaust had a great impact in history even though it was a time of disaster, murder, and discrimination. It was a time in which Adolf Hitler,German politician and Nazi party leader, wanted all Jews suffering or dead. Adolf Hitler turned everyone against the Jews because he believed that they were to wealthy and too powerful so he wanted to eliminate all of them. The Jews went through a lot of suffering and pain. The German soldiers which took commands from their leader, Adolf Hitler, put some Jews to work and killed others. Many Jews didn't get to work they were killed instantly. All women were separated from the man and woman were mostly killed instantly only some got the opportunity to work. The some ways that the jews were killed is that they were put into gas chambers by tons or shot by soldiers. Jews were also dying by starvation dehydration soldiers would not give them enough food or water. They would only want those with blue eyes and blonde hair they discriminated all the others. Soldiers would not only kill the Jews but torture them for anything they did. The Jews would be transported from camp to camp walking even in the worst weather conditions which also many died from it.
The Holocaust was an extremely horrific period of history. Millions were killed and lost everything, including money, family, and dignity. However, it has taught many lessons. We can study it today to make sure nothing like it ever happens again.
...was a terrible war that nobody wants to ever happen again. It was really important to know the signs of it starting again like a country changing its' law like eliminating goverment postions so somebody has all the power. It is an amazing thing that we learn about the tragic events that took place in Europe. We also learn about the Holocaust because we don't want another world war. It would be tragic if we hand another world war that tore the world up. We also don't need another person doing the same exact thing Hilter did like creating laws discriminating many just because of their race or religon. So the main reason we learn about the Holocaust and all the other tragic event is to know how all the people around the world were effected in some way and if it did happen again it would also effect everybody right now. We also want to make sure it never happens again.
The Holocaust was the genocide of approximately six million people of innocent Jewish decent by the Nazi government. The Holocaust was a very tragic time in history due to the idealism that people were taken from their surroundings, persecuted and murdered due to the belief that German Nazi’s were superior to Jews. During the Holocaust, many people suffered both physically and mentally. Tragic events in people’s lives cause a change in their outlook on the world and their future. Due to the tragic events that had taken place being deceased in their lives, survivors often felt that death was a better option than freedom.
The Holocaust was one of the most tragic and trying times for the Jewish people. Hundreds of thousands of Jews and other minorities that the Nazis considered undesirable were detained in concentration camps, death camps, or labor camps. There, they were forced to work and live in the harshest of conditions, starved, and brutally murdered. Horrific things went on in Auschwitz and Majdenek during the Holocaust that wiped out approximately 1,378,000 people combined. “There is nothing that compares to the Holocaust.” –Fidel Castro
There’s a lot to know about the holocaust. The biggest DISCREPENCY was what happened to the Nazi soldiers who were involved in the holocaust? “It was entitled the Trial of the Major War Criminals before the International Military Tribunal, which tried the most important leaders of Nazi Germany,” ("Nuremberg Trials Project -- Introduction"). The Nuremberg Trials had a huge effect on the aftermath of World War II. This was the solution to punish the war criminals for what they’ve done. While it didn't get everyone tried, it got a very large portion of the higher ups of the Nazi regime. The Nuremberg Trials was a great precedent to be looked at and has created a bond between the Great Nations of the United States, the British, Soviet Union and the French.
Annelies Marie Frank was born on June 12, 1929, in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Because of their Jewish faith, Anne Frank and her family fled Nazi Germany for the Netherlands in 1933 to avoid persecution. After Germany invaded the Netherlands in 1942, the family spent two years living in a small hidden room in Amsterdam in order to elude capture by Nazi occupation forces. They were discovered in 1944 and arrested. Anne was sent to a concentration camp, where she died the following year. Her famous diary of the two years she spent in hiding was later found in the room where she and her family had lived. Anne’s father, Otto, had taken the family to Amsterdam, where he had established a small food products business. When Germany invaded The Netherlands in 1940, the Franks once again became subject to escalating anti-Semitic persecution. In 1941 Anne was required to transfer from a public school to a Jewish school. Secretly, Otto Frank prepared a hiding place by sealing off several rooms at the rear of his Amsterdam office building. A swinging bookcase hid the rooms Frank concealed.
