In the world we currently live in, many nefarious events around the world similar to the Holocaust. For instance, Darfur is in a atrocious event that is called the Darfur Genocide. Further expanding on that, the Darfur Genocide is an event where darfurian people are being terrorized by the government. An event that has striking similarities to the Holocaust could happen in the world based on the other crises currently happening; I firmly believe that an event like the Holocaust can happen and be ignored because there is many other occurrences in the world occurring, many countries have their hands full, and the Holocaust was a long time ago.

  • The Holocaust: The Uniqueness Of The Holocaust

    1000 Words  | 2 Pages

    But no two events can be identical, just like people every event is unique in its own way. It may be in the way that the event play out its cource, or perhaps it may be in the way that the event is remembered. While we rememeber the holocaust more often than the bombing of pearl harbor we hold both events in different light. As stated in the Article Was the Holocaust unique? The uniqueness of the Holocaust does not lie in numbers. It does not lie in the method of mass murder. What makes it unique is the existence of two elements: planned total annihilation of a national or ethnic group, and the quasi-religious, apocalyptic ideology that motivated the murder (152). Pearl harbor could be said to be an act of revenge against the Japanese, or pure and simple distrust after the bombing, but as Margalit states in his article, it doesn’t compare to the Nazi isolating out the humiliation and death of a certain race, they wanted to destroy them

    The Jewish Holocaust has to be one of the most famous and tragic genocides reported. We are taught that the reason we learn all about it is so tragic historical events like this won’t repeat in the future, but they do and they are. What many people don’t realize is that bystanders play a huge role in the events of the holocaust. Yes, the Germans played an obviously enormous part, and it wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for them, but there were many other situations where others could have helped stop the tragedy and the deaths of millions of people.

  • Lasting Effects of the Holocaust

    1179 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Holocaust was a very impressionable period of time. It not only got media attention during that time, but movies, books, websites, and other forms of media still remember the Holocaust. In Richard Brietman’s article, “Lasting Effects of the Holocaust,” he reviews two books and one movie that were created to reflect the Holocaust (BREITMAN 11). He notes that the two books are very realistic and give historical facts and references to display the evils that were happening in concentration camps during the Holocaust. This shows that the atrocities that were committed during the Holocaust have not been forgotten. Through historical writings and records, the harshness and evil that created the Holocaust will live through centuries, so that it may not be repeated again (BREITMAN 14).

  • Holocaust Denial and Distortion

    As early as age thirteen, we start learning about the Holocaust in classrooms and in textbooks. We learn that in the 1940s, the German Nazi party (led by Adolph Hitler) intentionally performed a mass genocide in order to try to breed a perfect population of human beings. Jews were the first peoples to be put into ghettos and eventually sent by train to concentration camps like Auschwitz and Buchenwald. At these places, each person was separated from their families and given a number. In essence, these people were no longer people at all; they were machines. An estimation of six million deaths resulting from the Holocaust has been recorded and is mourned by descendants of these people every day. There are, however, some individuals who claim that this horrific event never took place.

  • The Holocaust: The Most Significant Cause Of The Holocaust

    1994 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Holocaust, the mass killing of the Jewish people in Europe, is the largest genocide in history to this date. Over the course of the Holocaust nearly six million Jewish people were killed by the Nazi Party and Germany led by Adolf Hitler. There are multiple contributing factors to the Holocaust that made it so large in scope. Historians argue which of these factors were most significant. The most significant contributing factor is the source of the Holocaust, the reason it occurred. This source is Adolf Hitler and his hatred for Jewish people. In comparison to the choices of the Allies to not accept Jewish refugees and to not take direct military action to end the Holocaust, the most significant contributing factor of the Holocaust is that Adolf Hitler was able to easily rise to power with the support of the German people and rule Germany.

  • Discrimination against Jews

    833 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Holocaust: an event that took the lives of 6 million Jewish People is no doubt the biggest genocide and discrimination act in the history of the world. Jews were rounded up, enslaved, and killed in terrible ways. There is no other event in the history of earth that has taken so many lives; purposefully planned in a way meant to do that. Hitler managed to persuade almost his whole country, when he took over the government, that the Jews were the enemy; that they were to blame for Germany being the way it was. The hatred built up and up, until it reached the point where a plan was put into action: Kill the Jews, fix Germany. Synagogues burned, stores burned, lives burned. The Jews were not the only ones targeted, the list included: Gypsies, Disabled people, Gays, Blacks, and Jews. It really is amazing how people can come to such an easy conclusion that a single group of people were responsible for everything bad in their lives. Also during this time, acts against Jews were happening in America. What were they? Small acts in which individuals were targeted. Being Jewish, I had great grandparents who grew up in the time of the Holocaust. I...

  • Rwandan Genocide Essay

    Between the months of April and July in 1994 approximately one million people were killed in Rwanda. There are three ethnic groups in Rwanda, Hutu, Tutsi, and Aboriginal Twa. The genocide occurred between two different groups, the Hutu and Tutsi people. The Hutu composed close to 85% of the population while the minority Tutsi people make up approximately 14% with the Twa people composing the remaining 1%. The Republic of Rwanda like most African nations has a history of colonization from different European countries with different and conflicting ideas of governance and how a colony should be developed and used. It can be argued that many of the problems occurring in all African nations stem from previous colonization and subsequent exploitation. “ A Brief history” UN.org n.p. n.d. Web. 16 April 2014.

Faced with the trauma of a civil war, Syrian refugees seek protection and a more promising future than the life they currently live in their oppressive country.
