Misunderstood: The Holocaust

The Holocaust Misunderstood The Holocaust was looked at wrongly, even though it was an important turning point on the path of Germany and the country's future. Germany had started the Holocaust, which led to the loss of 11 million innocent people’s lives., Although the Holocaust was not entirely negative. It offered Germany a successful future, one of which starvation and death were not a part of. This would not have happened if the Holocaust did not occur. The Holocaust was beneficial for the country of Germany, as it worked as a way of population control as well as helped to create a unified country under Nazism due to the removal of all Non-Aryans, and provided doctors with extensive medical experience through medical experimentation. Germany

This plan started with keeping all Germans an Aryan race. He would take the non-Aryans away from the public eye and place them in Concentration camps. These people included Jewish, Communists, Russians, mentally ill, disabled etc. (Tomkinson, June 2nd, 2016) While they were taken away, The Aryan population would take over the jobs that were left unfilled, because Hitler believed that they could do it better than the Non- Aryans. All non-Aryans that were placed in Concentration Camps were used for free labour, due to the fact Hitler needed a work force to rebuild his country, and he did not have to pay these people due the the Dictatorship that was now Germany’s Government. . The Aryan population would also take over the households of all those taken to the camps. This was to ensure that all of the “good” Germans had houses to live in. .(Tomkinson; June 2, 2016) These houses were sold at an extremely cheap price to help the German population. When the population within the Concentration Camps became too much, people started to be eliminated. Germany, now due to the Holocaust, had a largely decreased population than it would have had if not for these mass exterminations had not taken place. Germany’s population, after the mass deportations, stood at 80 million, while the population lost in the Holocaust stood at around 11 million lives. The current population of Germany could be 5 million more, if Hitler had not

A german doctor by the name of Josef Mengele who had been known during this time period for his extensive research on subjects with a twin, had been a leading doctor who had been placing a lot of his efforts into discovering more of the human anatomy. He was able to perform this properly by using one of the twins as the test subject and the other as a control subject.(Tomkinson; May 29th, 2016) So if something were to happen wrong with the test subject, he could check the control subject to find out the mistake or problem that occurred. This was extremely beneficial for Dr. Mengele because he would be able to correct his problems easier and proceed faster with his experiments. One of his tests involved sewing twins back to back and placing their organs together to form a siamese twin(Louis Bulow; September 24, 2015) . The tests never did succeed, but during the experiments, the doctors became more aware and learned from the mistakes to improve the future experiments. The tests that Dr. Mengele had conducted to place in Auschwitz, a Concentration camp in Poland. Due to the nature of these very few test subjects did live testing, but even if they did die, the doctors would further indulge in the bodies to increase their knowledge
