    Starting in 1939 during the Holocaust, many Jews were deported to concentration camps by the Nazis where they will meet their end, but how did some of them survive? Even though most of them died, some lives were saved by the very few people with moral courage. One of the people with moral courage was Carl Lutz. Moral courage is the actions a person takes because of his/her belief of what is right or wrong, even though it may risk his/her life. Lutz was born in Switzerland in 1895 and he emigrated to the United States at the age of 18. During more than 20 years of temporarily staying in the United States, he worked at the Swiss Legislation in Washington and became chancellor of Swiss Consulates in Philadelphia. These events lead him to be appointed as Swiss vice-consul in Budapest, Hungary. During his life as a Swiss vice-consul, he decided to save the Jews because of his belief.

  • Analysis Of Ray Comfort's '180'

    945 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Holocaust not only can be seen as a horrific event, but also as a way to minister against abortion for evangelist Ray Comfort. Ray Comfort in his production “180” took a different perspective on the Holocaust and happened to alter the minds of many people that he met on the streets. Although the clear majority of people he met came to side with his arguments, there were few that disagreed with him. Ray comfort not only changed the minds of the people he met, but made a change of their hearts for the better. Three things that stand out in the “180” video are, his use of rhetoric appeal, the legalization of abortion being, the holocaust, and repentance of sins.

  • The Role of Food in Erich Maria Remarque’s All Quiet in the Western Front and Elie Wiesel’s Night

    1314 Words  | 3 Pages

    Food is essential to basic life. It provides people with the energy to think, speak, walk, talk, and breathe. In preparation for the Jews deportation from the ghettos of Transylvania, “the (Jewish) women were busy cooking eggs, roasting meat, and baking cakes”(Wiesel, 13). The Jewish families realized how crucial food was to their lives even before they were faced with the daily condition of famine and death in the concentration camps. The need for food was increased dramatically with the introduction of the famine-like conditions of the camps. Wiesel admitted that, although he was incredibly hungry, he had refused to eat the plate of thick soup they served to the prisoners on the first day of camp because of his nature of being a “spoiled child”. But his attitude changed rapidly as he began to realize that his life span was going to be cut short if he continued to refuse to eat the food they served him. “By the third day, I (Elie Wiesel) was eating any kind of soup hungrily” (Wiesel, 40). His desire to live superseded his social characteristic of being “pampered”. Remarque also uses his characters to show to how a balanced diet promotes a person’s good health. Paul Bäumer uses food to encourage Franz Kemmerich, his sick friend, “eat decently and you’ll soon be well again…Eating is the main thing” (Remarque, 30). Paul Bäumer feels that good food can heal all afflictions. The bread supply of the soldiers in All Quiet on the Western Front was severely threatened when the rats became more and more numerous.

  • Hans Frank, the Killer of Many Polish Jews Without Pulling the Trigger

    2094 Words  | 5 Pages

    Hans Frank served as a personal legal advisor to Adolf Hitler and was former “Generalgouverneur of Poland” a region which soon became the testing ground for the conspirators' program of "Lebensraum." Frank referred the policy which he envisioned to put into effect by declaring: "Poland shall be treated like a colony; the Poles will become the slaves of the Greater German World Empire." Frank can be considered the emblematic ‘desk perpetrator’, never personally drawing the trigger but managerially supporting the smooth organization of the killing operations and deportation of Polish Jews. The area originally contained from 2,500,000 to 3,500,000 Jews. They were forced into ghettoes, subjected to discriminatory laws, deprived of the food necessary to avoid starvation, and finally systematically and brutally exterminated. On 16th December, 1941, Frank told the Cabinet of the Governor General: "We must annihilate the Jews, wherever we find them and wherever it is possible, in order to maintain there the structure of the Reich as a whole." By 25th January, 1944, Frank estimated that there were only 100,000 Jews left. Frank was nicknamed “The Jew butcher of Cracow” Whilst Hitler’s regime was disintegrating during the spring of 1945, Frank had fled to Haus Bergfrieden, Bavaria, where he was later captured by the US 7th Army on May 4th 1945. As mentioned in previous chapter, there was no former case against the Jewish before the International Military Tribunal. However the London Charter in Article 6 (c) stated that “before crimes against humanity could be proven, crimes against peace and war crimes had to be established”

  • Resistance and Resilience during the Holocaust

    1100 Words  | 3 Pages

    One incident that shaped his resolve took place in 1935, when Fry witnessed first-hand Nazi abuse of Jews. After writing a scathing review of Hitler’s regime for the New York Times, Varian Fry helped raise money to support European anti-Nazi movements. Later called “the American Schindler,” Fry’s biggest contribution came when the man smuggled several thousand intellectuals out of occupied France. An American journalist and Harvard graduate, Fry became the emissary to Vichy France in 1940. Tasked with choosing 200 lucky artists, poets, writers, and philosophers allowed entry into the United States, Fry instead saved more than 2,000. Despite having no clandestine background, or any experience with forgery or the black market, Varian Fry smuggled thousands of Jews and refugees across the French border and into neutral or allied countries. Along with several accomplices, Fry defied “the Final Solution” and turned his three week visit into a thirteen month stay. In fact, the man only left France when the US Department of State arranged for his expulsion. Describing his departure, Fry wrote “I thought of the faces of the thousand refugees I had sent out of France, and the faces of a thousand more I had had to leave behind”. During his stay in France, Fry was arrested and questioned by French police several times, but the man refused to leave- even when his passport expired. Later, co-conspirator Miriam Davenport would describe Fry as “an

  • Anne Frank Influence

    Some of the most influential citizens in history include Martin Luther King Jr., Abraham Lincoln, William Shakespeare, and many more. These very important people relate back to Frank’s quote because they made a positive impact in their own time and helped out humanity (Pettinger). Furthermore, they had a powerful effect on different aspects of life. William Shakespeare for example, sent very powerful messages to his readers in poems and plays. Martin Luther King Jr. altered civil rights in the world. Without him, darker skinned people would currently be treated disrespectfully. There is also Abraham Lincoln who helped end slavery as president of the United States during the Civil War. Lincoln prevented many innocent people from a living terrible life. So many other historical figures modified the world in a positive way, but there are also people that changed the world for the worse. One of the most known is Adolf Hitler. Being a dictator of Nazi Germany, Hitler killed around six million Jews. Anne Frank was also one of the victims captured by Karl Josef Silberbauer, an Austrian police officer (Tejvan). Anne Frank struggled during her childhood, but her conflicts lead to an inspiring quote that influenced the lives of many citizens. “I am to change the world!! I want to kick out all war/guns, drugs, smoking, alcohol and alcohol abuse, bullying, racism, discrimination” stated an internet user inspired by Frank’s quote (“Should People Try to Change the World?”). Anne’s quote was partly derived from those significant historical figures and remains a very powerful message that is currently affecting average citizens around the
