Recommended: Racism in the Holocaust

Clearly, the holocaust was a time of great destruction and sadness. The treatment of others during this time is still something we often discuss today. The focus of my paper is to talk to you about some of the reasons we often treat each other so horribly.

One reason I think that people treated each other so horribly during the holocaust is because they were different. We don't talk much about the holocaust because , the Germans treated the Jews so terrible and inhumane. Under the power of Hitler , Jews had to wear the star of David so people would know they were Jews from far away. Hitler labeled the Jews because they were different.

In today's society we still criticize religious groups and black people because , they are different.

    Throughout the Holocaust, the Jews were continuously dehumanized by the Nazis. However, these actions may not have only impacted the Jews, but they may have had the unintended effect of dehumanizing the Nazis as well. What does this say about humanity? Elie Wiesel and Art Spiegelman both acknowledge this commentary in their books, Night and Maus. The authors demonstrate that true dehumanization reveals that the nature of humanity is not quite as structured as one might think.

Also they would fight and the S.S. would watch and enjoy. They lost all personal items, then forced to look and dress the same. This was an extremely painful and agonizing process to dehumanize the Jews. Which made it easier to take control of the Jews and get rid of them.

    The Holocaust has many reasons to it. Some peoples’ questions are never answered about the Holocaust and some answers are. The Holocaust killed over 6 million Jews (Byers.p.10.) Over 1.5 million children (Byers, p.10.)They were all sent to concentration camps to do hard labor work. Jewish people weren’t the only ones sent to concentration camps. People such as people with disabilities, Homosexuals, Gypsies, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Communists, and Socialists (Byers.p.12). Everyone that was sent to concentration camps was sent via Train cars (www.historychannel.com). They had no food, water, or rest rooms up to 18 days. Many people died from the lack of food and water (Byers, p.15.). They children under 12 and elderly were sent to death camps because they were too weak or young too do the hard labor work so they were exterminated quickly (Byers, p.17.). Everybody at the camps were ordered to wear a certain colored star so they were easily spotted. The Holocaust went on from 1939 to 1945. Throughout all those years it was BAD.

  • Different Perspectives of The Jewish Holocaust

    1631 Words  | 4 Pages

    The Holocaust tends to be a bitter memory and an unpleasant subject to discuss. Although this event took place many years ago, repercussions are still present in the twenty first century. Especially in Germany, the Holocaust not only influences patriotism, but it also influences education and immigration policies. In contrast to other countries where nationalism is common, Germany has been forced to lessen the sense of nationalism in order to dispose false beliefs some individuals have of German racism. By allowing people from other countries to become German citizens, Germany avoids transmitting the sense of being a better and a cleaner race. A further sector influenced by the Holocaust is the education system. Approaches to teach about this event are difficult since the Holocaust is a sensitive issue and continues having vital importance in numerous families. Although the Holocaust continues conveying negative influences, the Holocaust also led to positive medical and technological improvements. In fact, numerous improvements are unknowingly implemented in societies today. Therefore, the Holocaust is one of the most horrific and influencing events in history whose repercussions are still felt in Germany today. However, in spite of the horrific occurrences, the associated medical findings and technological improvements make it intricate to look at the Holocaust as plainly evil. Thus, societies should view the Holocaust with a broader perspective.

  • Indifference toward the Holocaust

    859 Words  | 2 Pages

    When people first hear about the Holocaust, they are so surprised to hear how horrible and sick the whole time period was for Jews. Everyone is really shocked to know that so many horrible and hateful things could be done. The idea that countries were taken over, families and children were torn apart and people were tortured and murdered, is unbelievable. Propaganda and psychological conditioning played a large role in the genocide and overall indifference towards Jews during the holocaust. Not only was Hitler and his troops able to control armies, but he was able to influence other countries through precise planning and strategic moves.

  • The Movie Night By Elie Wiesel

    1738 Words  | 4 Pages

    Holocaust had a big impact on people’s lives because of the indifference and injustice of the people. The story “Night” by Elie Wiesel, The movie “The Boy in the Stripped Pajamas”, and the article “Secret life” are the sources that tell us how bad the holocaust was and how we should stand up when we see people suffering rather than staying aside and be an observer. Being indifferent and an observer encourages the tormentor, which is the opposite of what we should want. By speaking out and acting against injustice we can change what’s going on in other people’s lives that is unfair, and we may save them from their horrible situation. Some people focus on their own needs because they want to save their life and don’t put themselves in danger of other people’s lives, but by being silent and inaction in the face of injustice they will not help other people’s lives and they won’t change what is going on around them that makes them feel bad. The people who are indifferent will not be happy with the outcome of being an observer. If we speak out and act against injustice we can make other people happy and help them to relieve from their situation. If we are speak out we might lose our life, but everybody around us will always remember that we died for other people and we weren’t selfish about our lives. This essay is going to support my opinion of how people should stand up for themselves and other people and how we should act against injustice by giving details from the three sources.
