Recommended: Review of the diary of Anne Frank

Throughout my middle school years, my teachers taught me and my class about the Holocaust. We learned how devastating it was and how it affected people from all over the world. I can remember my seventh grade teacher reading The Diary of Anne Frank to us, and how stunned I was upon hearing what her and her family had to endure. She also let us watch the movie based on the book, which gave us an even more apparent outlook on their lives. In the seventh grade, our class went to the Holocaust Museum in El Paso, Texas, and honestly, it was the most real thing I have ever experienced. There was so much information and situations that seemed alarming and undeniably real. The Holocaust Museum serves as a reminder to several people about the events

    The Holocaust Memorial Museum was built to honor those who were directly affected by the Holocaust. “Never shall I forget these things, even if I am condemned to live as long as God himself. Never” Elie Wiesel (“Holocaust Encyclopedia”). While some believe the building of the museum was a political act for President Carter, others were very optimistic of the outcome. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum was a marvelous achievement for this country and those who dedicated their time and effort to this wonderful building. This museum not only has an interesting history and opening, but exhibits inside are nothing in comparison to the statistics of this grand foundation.

    When I signed up for this course, I had limited knowledge of the holocaust and was not very interested in its history. This course ended up being one of my favorites and the most informational courses that I have taken. Other Political leaders such as Mao Zedong and Joseph Stalin had committed mass murders that caused a much higher victim rate than Hitler, so my thoughts were that the holocaust was just another tragedy in human history. This class has given me a different perspective in the way I view the holocaust. It has personalized this horrific event in that it begs a person ask themselves how could this tragedy take place? How come the Jews and the world did not do more to prevent it from happening? The course has spiked my interested in the the holocaust in that I have found that if I come across a holocaust program while watching the television, I will stop to watch that show or read a holocaust article that I would not have read in the past. The four books assigned for reading by Browning, Sierakowiak, Lengyel, and Rajchman expounded on the personalization of the holocaust by giving insight into the experiences of

    As a matter of fact, The Museum of Tolerance located in Los Angeles has an exhibit dedicated to Anne Frank. The Anne Frank exhibit contains the life of a young girl and her family that are living in hiding with her during the Holocaust. Furthermore, the Museum of Tolerance is a fascinating place to learn about the holocaust because it really shows you the cruelty that humans do in this world. The Museum of Tolerance teaches you about genocide, Anne Frank, the Holocaust, and life during WWII. Additionally, one thing that I learned about Anne Frank as I read her diary was that, you must cherish time while you have it, because one day it will run out when you least expect

    The Holocaust was arguably the worst event in human history where half of the jewish population in europe was killed by nazis. The innocent jewish people were killed in nazi death camps where they were killed with the intention to rid europe with the jewish people.Some articles are subjective (words or phrases that provide feelings or opinions ) or objective (Word or phrases that support facts or reasons without including opinions or feelings).In non-fiction articles there are some that are all objective and some articles are balanced between subjectivity and objectivity. My text: At the Holocaust Museum by David Oliver is balanced between subjectivity and objectivity with many examples of both.

    Just imagine, being forced to work every day and not getting enough food, becoming so weak you can't even get up, or being forced into a ghetto and not being allowed to leave. During the holocaust this is what happens to many people. When an author writes about the holocaust they have the option of using subjectivity and objectivity. Objectivity is when the author uses facts and data to educate the reader about something that happened. Subjectivity is when the author uses emotional words to show the reader how they feel. Some authors choose to use only objectivity or subjectivity. If the main purpose of the article is to educate the reader, the author may choose to write a paper that is only objective. If the author is writing an opinion piece, then they would use subjectivity. In the article At the Holocaust Museum by David Oliver Relin the author uses both objectivity and subjectivity.

    Most people know something about the Holocaust. Whether it was something they learned in school, heard someone talk about, or watched on tv or in a movie. You probably know about the concentration camps and how evil the Nazi’s where during this period of war time. You have heard numbers such as six million jews killed and the years 1942 and 1943, the time where the majority of jews captured were killed. What the general public is less informed about though, is the events surrounding the killings and the true nature of the people involved. The the film medium many people have tried to convey the information they know or learned about the Holocaust. I think what people really need to learn about the Holocaust is the events surrounding the killings,

    The Holocaust is one of the worst moments of time, and in the history of the world. In the article, “At the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C.”, the Article is presented in an objective way and in a subjective way. Objective, and subjective are two ways of writing. They are different because objectivity is facts giving on the article, and stating what happened, while subjectivity is more of an opinion way of writing, and it is stating other people's viewpoints of the topic. I think that the article is more of a combination of subjective and objective way of writing. It is a combination because it is giving a lot of opinions based on the article on what it was like at the museum. Also, they are giving a lot of facts on the article and what

    I have personally read a lot of interesting, different and unique stories about the Holocaust and, in fact, when I was in eighth grade, I did a grim report on all of the gas chambers used specifically during the Holocaust. I find the whole story and timeline of events in the Holocaust rather interesting to me, but since I have read so much about the Holocaust already, like during school, this book was a little bit repetitive to me. Some parts of the story were quite good and others were just less stimulating and sort of sounded like a history book that I was and am required to read in many of my history classes. A part that felt like a monotonous history textbook, for example, was on the page 185 where the author lists off dates and events back to back. When flipping through this book and randomly glancing at sentences, I always seem to read a date or something that sounds like a sentence from Wikipedia. I understand the novel is informational, but there should be an even balance of information and dialogue.

  • Holocaust Museum Experience

    As a young American Jew, visiting the Holocaust Museum is very powerful. I have been there a few times before, but my experience going through it by myself was very different than it would have been with family or with friends. When I was by myself, I only had one focus, and I never thought about other people or other concerns I had at the time. I think seeing everything slowly and just taking in all of the information was very influential. I think almost all of the students here, or at least the ones who have been in day school for a while, have learned about the Holocaust for many years, including me. Every year, when Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) comes around, we have at least talked about the Holocaust a little through different classes. However, I think that the museum trumps all of the other learning experiences I have had learning about the Holocaust.

  • The Importance Of Visit To The Holocaust Museum

    Throughout history individuals from different societies have had their rights restricted by others to the point where genocides have been committed. These genocides did not erupt in one day, but rather gradually, which normalized the process. Initially placing individuals into categories which are considered inferior creates circumstances conducive for genocide. Genocides require many factors to come into play, but throughout history, we have seen their reoccurrence. The Holocaust is a genocide that resulted in the death of twelve million individuals. The horrendous events which happened during this genocide should be remembered not only so that we are able to recognize the indicators of similar situations, but also so that we may learn about the effects of the event. It is important to visit the Holocaust Museum to gain knowledge about an event which profoundly changed the world.

    It has been many years since I went to the Museum Tolerance. I believe that my experience as an adult was so very different from when I went as an adolescent. As an adolescent I did not understand the ignorance and significance and the pure hatred that Germans felt towards a group of people, Jews, giving them permission to eliminate them as if their mere existence permitted it. Visiting the three areas of the museum, The Tolerance Center, The Holocaust, and Finding our families was so powerful, enlightening and educational.

    One thing that the museum taught me about the holocaust is how much power words have. An example of words having power is how hitler got so many supporters from just saying what he had to say. People were killing others all because one man said something that persuaded them to do so. This shows that words can completely change how you think and what you do. At the museum, the tour guides pointed out that there were posters posted throughout the streets of simply hitlers face, reminding people what he thought of the jews and what he wanted

  • Objectivity And Subjectivity In In The Holocaust Museum By David Oliver Relin

    The Holocaust was one of the deadliest and most tragic time in history. Hitler and his Nazi Party rounded up all the Jews in Europe and sent them to concentration camps. Both the sentences I just used had both objectivity and subjectivity. Objective means the sentence is based on facts, and are not influenced by opinion, while on the other hand, subjective, however, is the opposite, where the sentence is based on the author’s feelings or opinion. Objectivity and subjectivity in articles can impact the reader on how the reader will interpret the article. The article, “In the Holocaust Museum”, by David Oliver Relin, provides subjective statements, as well as, objective statements and the author impacts the reader using connotation and opinion.
